Sekiu! Fish and Fun!

First catch of the day! Lee caught this big one. A lot of nice fish.



The part no one likes to do. Cleaning the fish. I guess they had so much fun catching them that they don't seem to mind.



 This is Lee's big one that he caught. It was just a little bit smaller then Teri's big one.


 The big one is Teri's. She caught the biggest one of the week. They all caught some very nice fish and had fun doing it.


Finishing up.


 Resting after a hard day of fishing.


 All of the girls, Teri, Becky, Lindsay, her friend and myself took a trip to Forks to check out the Twilight stuff. Forks made a lot of money after these books came out.

The cast!


 We're heading into Jacobs side of town


We had a good time. It was fun seeing all the stuff that was in the books and the movies.

Daddy Deer!



We think this is the daddy to the fawn we have been seeing. Of course we can't be sure. Fun seeing one with antlers.

5k and 10k, Camping at Riffe Lake




Lee, Mindy and Cierra did the 5k. Lee and Mindy were doing it to be with Cierra so she wouldn't have to run by herself. Lee was doing so well that Mindy told him to go off by his self. He did really great. Because he wasn't officially signed up he doesn't have an official time. He is ready to do another one. Mindy and Cierra did really well also. Sean and Jodi ran the 10k and also did great,

                                                               Always need a campfire.

Getting ready for dinner. It was really pleasant eating on the picnic table. No bugs bothering us and the weather was just right.

    We had a really nice time . The weather was just right. We took several nice walks to see the park. We defiantly will go back again.

Thought it was time to post a blog!

It has been a long time since I have posted on our blog. Things get busy and I guess it just hasn't been a priority. I really enjoy having a blog. Just to show everyone what we have been up to. I think it is a wonderful way of sharing our lives with others and keeping up on what is going on with everyone else. It is something that I will always cherish in the years to come. My daughter Jodi and my sister Teri have had theirs made into books it is really a cool idea and I plan on doing it. A wonderful idea.


Here is Mindy, Jodi and Cierra at a run in Orting.




Lee and Brooke at Grandparents Day!



We went down to the sand dunes in Oregon with Jay and Penny and many others. We really had a great time and the weather wasn't to bad. We enjoy going and spending time with Jay and Penny.



Lee and I posing by the Razr. I really enjoy riding in it. Lee is a very good driver and I hardly ever get scared. Lots of fun.



Lee out on the dunes.



 Us by our trailer. The RV park we stayed in was pretty full. Had a really nice time.




We went to Conconully Lake with Teri and Bill. We caught a lot of fish. Lee is going to smoke them with his new smoker, someday.



Relaxing by the lake. It is a really nice RV park. We always get on the lower level so we can sit by the trailer and fish off the bank.




We went to Rufus Lake and Lee was the only one that caught a fish, but it was a really nice one. We had it for dinner and it was delicious.




The guys have to clean all those fish that we all caught!


Bill and Teri. Isn't that cute!



Sitting at Alki beach after Jodi's run.


Chance and his proud mother Mindy. This is at Chance's ninth grade award ceremony.He got a honors award and an award in Technology. He is one smart young man.



I'm out of practice with this blog. This picture was suppose to be at the beginning and I couldn't figure out how to move it. I guess I need some help from the experts.

I hope everyone enjoys seeing what we do as much as we do. I am going to post more often, it is a goal of mine. Love to all!

'60'

This year I had the pleasure of turning '60'. I thought it would be a horrible experiece, hitting the big 60, only two years til I can get social security. Well I was wrong. Thanks to my family and friends. Lee, Mindy and Jodi threw me a surprise party and I sure was surprised.  I had no idea at all, they did well at keeping it from me. It was a great experience and I love them for it. They invited family and friends and I enjoyed seeing everyone. It was very special.

                                               This is a picture of me, my sisters
                                                                  Coralee and
                                                   Teri and my brother Doug.
