Before and After...

What a BEAUTIFUL house!! 

The bricks and the garage got a facelift yesterday and today.  What a difference a little paint can make!

Grilled Dinner

Nothing like grilled corn, potatoes and steak for dinner!!  Even better....Kyle did it!

Got My Camera Back...

Paxton has had my camera since a couple of weeks ago so now I get to post a few pictures that have been on the camera. 

Here's the motorhome with its flooring torn up.  Marcus and Kyle put a new one in a couple of Sunday's ago.  The result was very nice!

While the motorhome was getting a new floor I re-planted my little grass patch in front of the water pump house.  It looks even better today....NOT fully a grass area yet, but a little more filled in than this picture.  I will have to take some pictures of the garden as it is now.  Looks mighty good if I do say so myself!

June 13th and June 14th Paxton and Whitney put on the Jr Eagle Volleyball Camp for girls 4th-8th grades.  Here is a picture of the group of them.  Pax and Whit are doing this project for their senior project.  They organized the drills for the days and the snacks, the shirts and all the other things that go with putting on a camp.  I'd say they did pretty good.  The high school volleyball players helped out with.  She had my camera for the pictures so they can put together a powerpoint for the senior leaps.



Last night we went into Lampson Field in Kennewick to watch the footbal players scrimmage Riverview and Ki-Be as the end of their week long football camp.  A kid from Riverview got hurt quite badly so they didn't get to beat up on them for the whole 30 minutes.  They also did well against Ki-Be.  Getting ready for the next season....here we come!

Happy Father's Day and Catch-Up!!

Been busy since my last post I guess!  Not sure when this picture was taken but I wanted to share....

 Jim brought the 8th grade files over, the 8th graders that will become the Freshmen this next school year!  Thanks Jacobs!

 Wednesday night was our office staff party out at Hunter's Pond.  It was also a going-away party for Chris Clark, our Vice who is leaving us for a principal job over on the coast, at Kelso.  Kyle on the dock.

People fishing before dinner.

Here's the guest of honor himself.....

Maybe this is a better picture!!

Here's Libby.  She was so good the whole eveing.  She was content to be with whomever, eat whatever, and play during the rest of the time. Next time we see her, she will be grown big time!

Here's the gang:

What a beautiful eveing it was!  The wind stopped just as the party started and the rain stayed away too.  Gorgeous!!

Thursday night Kaylee and Eric came out to the house.  Eric helped Kyle with the motorhome for awhile. 

Kyle showed Kaylee the cows.  She like that!

Friday night the Wednesday Sisters had a retreat out at Hunter's Pond.  It was a sleep-over filled with lots of fun and good company.

Here's mom gettint the paint out of the containers and onto the plates.  She brought a time for each of us to paint on.  We studded out.....here's what everyone did:

We stayed up until late, watched the moon come up and watched the stars.  The next morning we ate breakfast and then went about our own ways.  Fun!!!

Kyle, Nick and I went to town to run a few errands Saturday afternoon.  It has been a long time since we've just bummed around.  We hung out in downtown Kennewick for a bit and then hit some antique stores in Richland.  Nice, relaxing afternoon.

Today Eric and Kaylee came out to celebrate Father's Day this afternoon.  Kyle got a croquet set for Father's Day so the boys played a game this afternoon.  Kaylee got out the golf set we bought yesterday and had fun also.  Here's Kyle helping her hit the ball.

Here's Eric:

I think Kyle ended up beating the boys....but fun was had by all.

The day wouldn't be complete without Otter Pops!!

Kyle, Nick and Kaylee all planted the remainder of the corn seeds in the garden.  Kyle got a new hoe yesterday also, so he had fun making trenches in the garden for the seedlings.

Kaylee got in on the hoeing action!

Not the greatest picture of Eric and Kaylee because of the time of day, but I'll take it!

Hope all you dad's had a great Father's Day....especially my dad!!  You are the BEST dad!  I love you very much!

P.S.  Happy Birthday, Ryan!  Don't worry....didn't forget Otter Pops for you!
