We went to a new pumpkin patch this year in Bonney Lake called Maris Farms. This place is awesome! Soooo much stuff for kids (and adults) to do! You could spend hours there and stay entertained. I didn't even take pics of half the stuff there. I think we'll go back again next year.

Bday Boat Ride

Mother & Daughters

What a beautiful day!

Chambers Bay Golf Course & Mt. Rainier

For my 30th Bday, my mom and Johnny took us out for a picnic lunch on the boat with Melissa & Brett. It turned out to be a gorgeous day! We ended up heading towards Steilacoom where we stopped to eat lunch. What a fun day!

Run For Hope

Nick & Brett

(5 K runners)

Melissa, Me & Connor

(3 K walkers)

We did the Run for Hope this year to support Pediatric Brain Cancer Research. We joined team Ooo-Um-Gow-Ah and walked for Kyle Roger, a nephew of a friend of Melissa's who bravely faught this terrible disease for 2 years. It was pretty neat to see all the people participating for such a great cause.

Puyallup Fair

Brian & Connor

Connor's favorite part of the fair! He didn't want to leave the pig palace! :)

Checking out piggies

Gotta have some fair food!

We went to the fair this year with our Friends, Jimmy, Riana, and baby Brian. I think Connor had a little more fun this year than last time when he had no idea what was going on. He loved all the animals. Maybe next year he'll be big enough to go on some of the kiddie rides.

Family Pics

Here are a few of the family pics that Tyra took for us this summer. I'm pretty late on posting these!

Tyra Pics

Tyra came up this summer to take pics of the family. Here are a few of my mom, sister, Connor and I that I liked.

Spokane Trip

We went to Davenport (about an hour outside Spokane) to go visit my friend Lindsey and meet her sweet seven week old baby, Paige. What a cutie!

We went to Spokane for a few days a couple weeks ago to visit Nick's cousins, Ryan & Annie. They have a little guy, Ben who turned 2 in May. Ben and Connor has all kinds of fun together while we were there. It was cute to see them play because they are both into all the same kinds of toys...especially cars! Ben has quite the collection! It was a fun visit, although Annie had to go into the hospital the second day we were there because she is 35 weeks pregnant and was having contractions 4 minutes apart! The baby didn't end up coming but I'm sure it will be any day now. We had a great time, too bad they don't live closer!
