Shaver Lake

Here are the promised pictures. We had a ton of fun. Avery loved fishing, but Cole was a little more timid. He was afraid that if we ate the fish, they would bite his tongue. No worries now, they were delicious for dinner.

Cole Swimming at Shaver

We went up to Shaver Lake yesterday to fish and relax. Grandma and Grandpa were camping with another family, and invited us to come hang out. I made a slide show, but the program freaked out, so look for them later.

Arg Mate

Half Dome

Bryan and a friend from Campus headed up to Yosemite to climb Half Dome on Saturday. I woke up at 3:15am (yes am!) to make him some eggs, Dave showed up at 3:30 and they left. Bryan said they got there at 6:00 (yes, still am) and hiked most of the day. Dave made it to the cables (which I learned you have to use for the last bit), but his legs were cramping, so he stayed there. Bryan really wanted to make it to the top, and he did. Dave had Spades and Bryan was taking Avery to a birthday party in the evening, so they troted back down and quickly came home. Bryan suffered mild heat exhaustion from the run back down, so he said the trip home wasn't the greatest. They were quite proud of themselves, and I am, too. However, it was a little funny watching their achy bodies as they were trying to get up on stage for choir, but they'll be fine for next week. All in all, about an 18 mile trip. Way to go, Bryan!

Cole

Ave's loose tooth

Avery has her first loose tooth. She is so excited, but won't just pull it out. She says it will hurt.

Quentin's Dedication

On Father's Day Quentin was dedicated at our church by Pastor Cecy. Grammy and Grandpa, Nana, and Great Grandma and Great Grandpa were all there. Avery and Cole acted as the entertainment while he spoke to the two other families up in front. Our goal is to raise our kids to have an amazing love for our Father. What an exciting responsibility!
