Awana Award Night

Elijah enjoyed participating in Awanas this year. He loved learning verses and stories from the Bible, and meeting new people. He received a participation award, as well as an award for completing his entire book. We were so proud of him, and he can't wait to do it again in the fall! :)

Dillon Beach, May 2010

At the end of May we were able to go camping to Dillon Beach. We started the weekend off with the Conner's, then Ryan came, then the Conner's went home and the Werdon's came. We had a FANTASTIC weekend together, and lots of beautiful weather.

Elijah, Aidan, Silas and Tyler ready to go!

Micke Grove Zoo

Micke Grove Zoo has a Lorikeet exhibit where you can buy some nectar and feed the birds. We went with some friends and the boys LOVED doing this. We had to go back for more food, and if my pockets were deeper the boys would've gone back again, lol. It was so fun to watch them feed the birds!

Camping At Shasta w/ Hess's

In early May we were able to go camping at Lake Shasta with Kevin's parents and family from Oregon, and had a blast. Because of the distance between us, it is rare that we get to camp with them, so we had a wonderful weekend together. The weather was perfect, and the scenery was gorgeous. Elijah and Tyler had SUCH a fantastic time playing with their cousins Gracie, James, Johnathan, and Lillie, as well as with Ariana!! :)

Where Does Time Go???

Okay, it's is really sad that it has been 3 months since my last post. Where has the time gone??? Well, I'm going to try my hardest to catch this thing up... To be honest, it was very unmotivating for me for a while to get on here and post pictures, because they take soo long to load in, and I can only load 5 at a time... It is much easier to keep my facebook updated because I can load a whole bunch of pictures at once. However, I realize that there probably are a FEW people out there that still check this, so I will do my best to fill you in! First I'll post the rest of Tyler's 2nd Bday pics, even though this was from April 3!!!! ;)
