Birch Bay take two...

Sorry about the blogging or lack there of. But I usually like to size my pictures in photobucket so everything lines up nice but photobucket is not cooperating. So we will just do it this way.

We went to the Bay and rented a really nice house. Mom and Dad came out during the day and kids came and went as needed. Bill had off all week so we tried to do some relaxing:) Ill just do my best to describe every picture.

Here are some SNAP sisters....NOT!

Hana is the queen of the "self photo"

Max surprised everyone by coming home from George for the weekend. He missed us.

Mom's treasures from the beach

We rented Jeffs uncles place so he did allot of reminiscing about back in the days at the beach house.

All had a wonderful time and we are already planning next year.

Thanks for stopping by!

Family time at Birch Bay...

Remember this? Well this year we went again with Jack, Wendi and boys. I love this place- I could sit on the deck all day -even in the clouds. Fun was had by all:)

Thanks for stopping by!

uneasy feeling...

A few nights ago our cars were prowled. I am not happy about this as you can imagine. We are slowly realizing what is missing and it's not much. So far the coin tray in my car-which is removable and all the dimes nickels and pennies that were in it. And Levi's cologne that he got from Meagan from Victoria Secrets called VERY SEXY. So we can do without that:) Clearly they were looking for cash. Car doors were left open and things looked like somebody went thru them. The sheriff believes it is kids and that night they went on a crime spree in our area. It is not about losing stuff but more about a loss of security. Now we are locking the doors and we have fired the guard dogs.

Thanks for stopping by!

Our baby Graduated! Let the celebrations begin!

We are so proud of Hana for her accomplishments and we love her so much! That said- it was a crazy week:) The weather cooperated for an outside graduation and party. Praise the Lord for that! I made my now famous meatball sliders and farm gram made a big pot of potato salad. It was a delicious combo. Marty (Hana's friend) brought puppies to the party-whats better than puppies? Don't worry Hana did not get one for graduation:) Jackjack really enjoyed meeting Uncle Fred- who got off work just in time. David A was in charge of balloons! Charlie got stung by a bee right before the party and required medical attention. He is going to be fine. Whew! That was bad timing. The graduation was good but my favorite is the baccalaureate. It was at Christ the King on tuesday. The messages were great! It's a big world out there and these kids need Jesus:) Thank-you to all of you who came out to support Hana:)

Thanks for stopping by!
