Summertime 2008

Hard to believe it is already almost the end of August. Labor Day is around the corner and for most of us the kids will start school again. Our Miss Gracie will be a big 1st grader. I have said it many times, but I know I will blink and she will be graduating! So we have been trying to enjoy as much time as we can with her as well as grab what's left of the summer. We spent this past weekend at the Roulst's property near Yelm -- love these summertime pictures. Enjoy!

They have this cool tree that grew in a big curve..the kids loved climbing it.

The Dogs

We were playing with the dogs on Sunday evening and thought I would share some pics.

Carlie, Chaps, Gracie and Tank
Tank with his "stick". We always talk about what a jaw Tank has and this is a great example. How he can lug logs around like that I'll never know. Not an easy task to throw it for him that is for sure!


Gracie snuggling up to our Chaps....he is 9. Starting to look like an old man. His daddy Gunner passed away this year..at 16!!


Gracie and Tank -- he is 8.

Hayes Picnic July 2008

Just a few pictures from Larry and Karen's picnic a few weekends ago. The weather went back and forth, but a few sprinkles didn't get us down! It was a great day to spend with family. Thank you Larry and Karen for hosting!


The girls...and a couple of bunnies.


Gracie and Reese hitting the slide.


Gracie liked to get her "bounce on". Check out the clouds in the background. Yikes!


Look at those cute butts...Hannah, Gracie and Ally


Maddy and Gracie teeter-tottering. They love "Hayes Land".
