Grandparents





We spent the week in Portland visiting Donny's parents and grandmother. We really enjoyed our visit and it was their first time meeting Holland. Then we went boating in the rain for Sophie's birthday. Afterwards, we had a Father's day dinner for Grandpa Steve. Holland happens to be the model in all these pictures. I couldn't find a picture of Grandma Jolene with Holland, so I stole one of smugmug of Ben.

Independence


Hunter insists on getting himself dressed by himself and yesterday he was completely BACKWARDS- shirt, shorts, and shoes!
Holland is 6 months old and sitting up all by herself.

Hands Up Stands Up


Packer is obsessed with Head Stands. We went over to lunch recess a lot to have "Hands up Stands up" competitions with Sadie and her friends. Mom can beat everyone in handstands and Packer can almost beat mom in headstands. He sure practices a lot!

Kindergarten Graduation

Myriam Graduated From Kindergarten!
She is one cute and smart girl.



This is Myriam with her teacher.





Hayden and Myriam are best friends.
They loved being in kindergarten together.
Aren't next door neighbors just like family?
Perhaps this will be their wedding announcement picture one day!
