Husky Picture Day 2011

The whole family went to Husky Picture Day this year. Last year it was just Josh and he waited the whole time in Jake Locker's line and left with nothing! So this year we all went so we could divide and conquer. Right when we were let in the gate, Josh ran to Chris Polk's line and I ran to Coach Sark's line. We both scored! Here is Coach Sark and my kiddos...

And here is Joey and Chris Polk:

This is Senio Kelemete. Josh coached him when he coached Evergreen High School Football (Josh's Alma Mater), so he has had fun watching his career so far at the UW.

Joey, Katy and Luka. The Jones boys had just left. I wish we could have gotten a pic of all of them in their husky gear.

Josh and Colleen's Wedding

Katy dressed up for our friends Colleen and Josh's wedding.

Joey giving his sister a kiss. He loves his sis so much and doesn't miss an opportunity to hold her, kiss her, or pat her on the back. He is a wonderful big brother!

The family all dressed up...

Joey dancing the night away of course...

I can't get enough of that smile!

Hood Canal Vacation

We started out our long trip to the Canal this summer with a hike in the Olympic National Park. Josh has been studying his Olympic Peninsula hiking book for years and he finally got to use it.

Another thing Josh has been wanting to do when we were at the Canal is go to a Tacoma Rainiers game. We made it to the game, but were running late. On our walk to the game the guy in the picture below (on the jumbo screen) hit a home run. It bounced outside the park and Josh was able to run up and grab it!! He was so excited because he has never gotten a ball despite going to so many baseball games. He was like a little kid and he couldn't stop smiling and re-living the moment. It was very cute.

Josh and Joey went clamming. While Josh was busy filling the bucket with clams, Joey was busy getting very messy...

On the final two days of our trip, we had some visitors. Here are the boys gathering (at a safe distance) around the fire.

On our last day there were two eagles in the tree right outside the back yard. So cool!!

Seafair 2011

Seafair Friday...

The Seafair die hards

Katy enjoying her very first Seafair!

Seafair Sunday...

Joey too cold before he got in the water

Getting in the water

Joey has gotten too used to the pool and Hood Canal temperatures... he does not like Seattle lake swimming

Wide-eyed for Hydros!

Katy and Auntie Becky

Joey loved the Air Show since we finally remembered to bring his ear protectors.

Finally the whole family in one pic!!

Oh Boy...

The pits at the end of the day

All packed up and leaving the park. Where's Katy:)

We had a photographer from the Seattle Times hang out at our spot with us for a long time on Sunday. Here is a link to a picture and little write up of me and Joey that made it into the paper's Seafair Photo Gallery.
