never to young to sing in the shower

last night when Matt was in the shower I was hearing this singing so I checked it out just to make sure all was okay well this is what I found/heard.

On Bug Hunt

we went in search of snakes and crickets this afternoon. Kianna was the catcher Matt was the carrier of the jar Biz was the searcher... they were quite the team they had three but one got away

Colton was of on his own looking for snakes.... he told of one that was huge but it too got away ...... : }

picnic in Seabeck

today we all went to a work picnic with Wes for one of his main accounts in Seabeck (out by the hood canal) it was a beautiful day and the view was great. Matt and biz had fun playing with the dinosaur that one of the boys won in the raffle.
this was the view from where we were at. afterwards Wes took us on a scenic drive through Port Gamble its an old town that has been preserved it was really neat . then we headed homeand on the way we stopped at Red Lobster so Colton could have shrimp one of his favorite foods
and we found out that Matt likes it too he ate most of Wes's dinner too.
it was a great day.
also at the picnic one of the main guys asked for prayer for his niece she is 18 and she is in the hospital and has been for 14day due to a ruptured appendix it is very critical her name is Rachael

a busy day

we had quite the day it started with a garage sale at our good friends the Millers house......where Matt and his buddy Cole practice their skill with the pig skin .....biz kept her friend Abby company while she sold cupcakes and lemon aid ( to buy a new bike) and colton stayed home to help Wes get the house ready to sell.

then when we got home Matt got some more energy out while climbing the tree

and finally biz and Matt helped dad build a fence.....at least that is what they said they were doing ......phew all in a days work
