Puyallup Fair

9.13.2018
We took the kids out of school for the day and went to the fair with Scott's family.

Look who's on the fair ticket!!

Father & son

this may or may not be our oldest :)

We got Lincoln a wrist band so he could go on all the rides and we wouldn't have to worry about a whiny toddler wanting to go on rides... well, he didn't exactly have the best time on rides. 

at least until we got to the boats... 

Finally a ride Lincoln liked!!!

I'm glad Scott's sister Mindy likes to get dizzy, because I sure don't!

Getting to go on the tractor parade with Grandpa and Grandma...

Cameron's 10th Birthday!

9.11.18

Cameron is 10!

Katelyn, Lincoln and I joined Cameron for lunch and a birthday treat at school as well as lunch recess

above: Aidyn Christensen, Katelyn, Cameron & Lincoln

After school we had a family party... 

For dinner we had pizza with "Murky Water" aka Cream Soda and "Clean Ocean Water" aka blue punch

Cameron's 11th birthday was underwater themed. We played a few games like toss the fish into the shark's mouth, knock over the water bottles with the pantyhose and get the Kleenexes out the fastest. 

Cameron checking out the Guinness Book of World Records Book he got for his birthday

chocolate pizookie for dessert

First day of school - 2, 4, 6

Sep 10, 2018
Matthew is in 6th grade  at Aylen Junior High now, so he had to catch the bus an hour before Cameron and Brandon. Matthew has two academic teachers this year (Mrs. Pink and Mrs. Smith) as well as PE and band.
Cameron (4th grade with Mrs. Farias) and Brandon (2nd grade with Mrs Lowney & Mrs. Stanley) are both at Fruitland Elementary.

(Katelyn and Lincoln didn't want to be left out)

Julia & Jake's Wedding

 Julia & Jake were married in the Portland, OR Temple on September 8, 2018

We had a luncheon nearby in Portland and then headed to Puyallup for an evening reception.
