Berry Picking

On Labor Day weekend we went to Mt. Adams for what has now become a family tradition of Huckleberry picking. There were so many great picking spots. While driving from Selah to Mt. Adams (which I've never been to), we took a wrong turn and ended up adding about 30 minutes to our trip. The best part of that is we didn't notice until we were almost to the Columbia river. It was a full day and we got about 3 gallons of berries and several purple fingers.

Busy Summer

I have not updated anything about us for a while. As most of you know Tracey is not the most tech savy person. So when I think I'm going to get something done I usually forget. But anyways...

We had a great summer. Tracey and I went to Las Vegas just before summer got started. From that point forward the summmer just started to fly by. As soon as I get the pictures off a camera I'll show you what fun we had.

Gym Kids Olympics

Emma and Lily were both gold medal winners in the Gym Kids Olympics in February. Emma takes Gym once a week and Lily goes there after school most days. Of course once Lily saw that the camera was on her, you could pretty much count out any candid shots. She loves to be in front of the camera and having her picture taken. The other night she kept using my cell phone to take pictures. Emma's was later that day. And for those who know Emma's grace, the balance beam was a sight to see.

Family Pic & Christmas 2007

We recently had a family picture and Tracey thought it would be a great idea for all of us to have matching t-shirts. You can't even image how much grief we get from being Oakland Raider fans. But...most people realize that a real fan would still be true (not like fair weather Seahawk fans).

I also included a slide show of our Christmas morning pictures. The kids always have fun on Christmas morning. But after a while things tend to get a bit silly as the energy fades.
