The Cook Book

At the Beach with Nana & Grandpa

Kaley told Grandpa to "strike a pose". Nice pose Grandpa!

Whenever we go to the beach, Nathan finds a creature that he wants to keep. Actually, whenever we go anywhere, including that backyard, Nate finds a creature. He was DEVISTATED that he could not take it home. We finally convinced him we could take a picture of it and take that home. It didn't help much but at least he put the dead, stinky creature back where he found it.

We had a blast camping with Nana and Grandpa for a few days. Dan was a work.

Youth Conference....WE SURVIVED!

This is an example of the hills we went up. We were either going up or going down the whole time.

The view on the way up. Amazing!

Ok, so I said I wouldn't have any more kids but I get to Youth Conference and find out I'm Pregnant?!?! Whatever.

Ryan Got his Bear!!

Ryan worked really hard to earn his Bear. Nana was a big help! Thanks Nana. That night he also ran in the box car race. He took first place!! Whoo hoo! Notice Dan's lovely beard...getting ready for Youth Conference.

Jaycee Relays

Ryan ran in the co-ed race of Jaycee's. He had a great time!

Ryan's Birthday party

The easiest birthday party ever...Salem Tennis and Swim! It was so much fun and no work. Ryan had a great time swimming with all his friends.

Happy Birthday Kaley!

For Kaley's party this year, she decided to have her friends come as their version of a super hero. Then they made a movie and took fun pictures. All the girls decorated their own frame and took home the frames with the goofy pictures in them. It was fun!
