Go Fly A Kite

We spent a warm June evening at the highschool field flying our kite, climbing and kicking the soccer ball. Wish we could get some more warm nights like this!

Random Fun!


7 Years Old Already!

Maren turned 7 years old on June 8th. We had a family cake out at Marinka's house, combined with cheering for a Canucks game! Maren had a Hawaiian birthday party with 8 of her friends and a flip flop cake, fun!

Off to the Races!


Ethan participated in 2 track and field events in May. These pictures are from the first one where he ran the relay with his buddies; Josh, Micah, and Lucas. They did great!! In the second meet, Ethan won the 400 meter run!


Frances, Chris and I ran the 1/2 marathon (21k) and Nikki ran the 5k on June 5th. It was a perfect morning and I'm thankful to have reached my under 2 hour goal and have it done!!

Good Bye Everest


Everest, our family's beautiful friend of almost 12 years left us on May 4, 2011. He was friendly, gentle, and always a little "quirky"!! He quietly laid down on our kitchen floor and closed his eyes for the last time late that night. There was nothing out of the ordinary with him that night, it was just time for his body to rest forever. We continue to miss him, writing this finds me with tears in my eyes once again. Thanks to Dezene Huber for sharing the picture that captures Everest so perfectly.
