Laura & Spencer's wedding

2016 was the year that Laura & Spencer were married.  They were sealed in the Seattle Temple.  They had their reception at Ady & Kirsten's house.  It was a wonderful day.  The weather was great.

July birthday party, 2016

As usual we held our July birthday party at our house.  There are a lot of birthdays in July.  It's becoming a yearly thing to do.

 We got to take part in blessing of Emma.

 Thanksgiving of 2015

We had the chance to go to Utah with Cris & Cat for their blessing of Tylor.

To think, this is not all of the family! it's great when we get together.  Some of the members of the family, with my side also, have left us to the spirit world.  Being at the temple we are promised that our families are forever if we just try to live the Gospel of Christ!

I just love this photo.  This is at Jamie's wedding Reception in our back yard.  Look how young those kids are! This is Aug. of 2007.  There was a time that their were a lot of young kids around.  Just when they grow up, the next generation of kids are getting pretty big.

These 2 photo's are 10 years apart.  It was 1999 for the 1st one & 2009 for the 2nd one.  We will need to take one in 2019.  Look how much this family has changed!!!!!!

When we 1st got married we lived in Texas.  So did Jack & Judy.  We would see each other during that time.  It was nice to have some family nearby.  This is at Jack & Judy's house.  This was about 1984.

Ice Cream opa.  In the family only the men scoop ice cream.  Of course at opas freezer he had 36 gallons of ice cream to choose from!  He would even serve you Fruit Loop Sundaes for breakfast if you stayed the night!

In 2000 we went on a cruise.  It was our 1st one with Princess Cruise's.  We left out of Fort Lauderdale.  It was a week long.  We went to Princess Cays, Talum,  & Sting Ray City.  The weather was great.  The entertainment on board was great.  Of course we loved the food.

This photo is from Sea World in San Antonio.  The lady to the left is giving the group a dirty look.  Pam didn't like it to well.  Bob & Karen came down a couple of times.  We would also go up there to Los Alamo's neck of the woods also.  It was a fun day. Pam is pregnant with Jacob.

This is a photo from 1995.  The Sirrine's just moved here.  This was a Sunday gathering.  We always got together.  The girls always had fun together.

This is our Lake Mowich hike. Latter on some of the family went on this hike.  It was a good hike.  It wasn't very hard or wasn't easy either.  This was in 2002.  We stopped off in Bonny Lake's Albert sons to get food.  I never thought that in 2 years we'll be living there!

This is our family "Moses!"  He is telling us the family rules.  Of course we didn't listen & he got mad.

This is one of our hikes at Otter Falls.  The kids had lots of energy.  I think this is the time when Sarah, Boonie stepped on a hornets nest!  That created a stir!  It certainly wore out the dogs & kids.  We made a couple more hikes on this trail.  It's a fun hike.

On one of our many hikes this one was a good one.  We hiked a little on the John Wayne trail.  This was also before our family got to busy.  It's fun in Washington.  There are so many place's to hike.  The best part is that no poisonous snakes!

We went camping near Gig Harbor one Summer.  We had a fun time.  This is a small group photo.  I think 1997.  We don't do much camping as a family anymore.  Our lives have gotten busy.  But we had a lot of memories that the kids will always remember.

There are some people that we miss.  Oma Died 11 years ago.

We all have had a fun time with her.  We had fun at Christmas time, Thanksgiving, on Saturdays.  The Bennie baby craz time was something that she had a blast doing.  She was like a kid when it came to that.  Oma wasn't going to let any fun pass her by.  She wanted to be in the middle of everything.  It was true when they said that the mother is the glue that keeps families together.  

These are the 3 girls that grew up with each other.  They are now in college, married, engaged, has a child.  They grow up fast.  This is at the McDonald's in Milton Washington.

This other photo is in 1987.

We are on our way to Europe & we stopped at Bob & Karen's house.  All 3 are towheads!

I,m finally back on.  It's been a few years since I've updated this site.  I have a lot of catching up to do.  The major problem is that I don't have the old photo's from my last computer.  So I can't update with them.

This is a photo that I have to 

enter.  The sign & name of the college no longer exist.  This was taken in 2001.  Now we have 

a lot of family that has gone to this school under both Ricks, & BYU-IDAHO.  Some have graduated also.This is a great piece of history!!!!!!
