A Few Football Photos

Grandma and Grandpa have been asking for some photos of Jacob playing football. This unfortunately is about the best we can do as Carrie has to watch from the sideline and I'm too busy coaching to take any shots. I'll try and get some more next week. Jacob is wearing #16.

Snowbowl Sunday

Went up to Snowbowl to pick huckleberries and eat a little pizza.

We pulled almost 2 quarts of huckleberries. Don't laugh. That'll cost you $40 bucks at the farmer's market.

 Jacob has nothing to say.

 Adopted daughter (and brother-sister referee) Tess.

Lots of wildflowers.

New camera

Throwing some pictures at ya.

Nothing but photos of flowers. Just blue ones.

Kidding.

Went camping. Had fun. That is not a new baby. I mean it is, but for somebody else. Not us. Never. Except for those first 2 times. And I'm still undecided, for the record.

A Few Photos

Aunt Annie made it into town for Memorial Day weekend and we took a family bike ride along the Hiawatha Trail. It's an abandoned railroad trail with 500 foot tressels and quite a few long tunnels you get to ride through. Pretty fun trip. Here's just a few photos.

Merry Christmas!

Thanks to all who contributed to our Christmas Joy this day. Here's a few photos.

Woke up to new snow and the twins out back.

Fluffy!

And shiny!

From earlier - Christmas tree shopping.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Huckleberries, Pizza, and Football

Just a short update with some photos, because I'm too tired to think about writing anything. School's back in session so all we do is run around: scouts, football practice, birthday parties, super skippers, football games, parent meetings, errands, trips to Lowes, and oh yeah we still go to work. Carrie and I are both ready for Thanksgiving break. Only 60 more days!

We made it up to Snowbowl for the closing day of the summer season. Annie's friend Tess came with us. We've pretty much adopted Tess. We picked a bunch of huckleberries and then went to the lodge for pizza. Jacob rode the new zip lines, which were really pretty cool but way to high for me.

We made it to our annual Griz football game, which was great. It was a night game - pretty rare here since the stadium just added lights last year.

And of course Jacob is playing football. He loves it. He starts offensive tackle but plays all the special teams and a whole lot of outside linebacker. He's a pretty good tackler, and his team is playing very well.

We'll let you know if anything important happens around here. Until then just wanted to share some photos. Take care!
