Virginaia Citiy PIctures

So the annual trip to Montana resulted in the annual trip to Virginia City resulting in the annual trip to get our pictures taken. They let us smile this time and I am not in a blue and grey stripped dress, yay!

Pearl in the closet

Not much else to say. I was so glad she didn't fall asleep there!

Swim Championships

This summer swim season eneded successfully for some. Abigial seemed to sweep the 8 and unders, despite all her whining?!

Lilly and Andrew also had fun but joined the next age group up so they were the little fish this year!
Abigail will be in that boat next summer when she swims with the 9-10 year olds...

Andrew's Birthday

Andrew turns 12! Wow where did time go? He was so excited about his weather watch that grandma and grandpa got him. And his rain suit, it even rained so he could use them.

Can anyone say laminate?

We finally did it. Costco had their laminate on sale and we bought the whole lot.

Thanks to grandma and grandpa Nelson and Jeremy and Aric for helping. Otherwise we would still be laying!
