Our new little puppy Rascal has been so much FUN! We all love him!
(Some of us a little too much....we won't mention any names!)
He is a good little dog.











Jeff and I are prepping for the upcoming youth Trek. It has been a lot of work trying to pull together everything we need. We have a great group of kids in our family. We have 4 boys, and 5 girls. Oh ya, and 1 wheat baby! One of our boys was teasing that he was going to eat our baby along the way! I guess we know who can't be trusted with our baby!
We still have skirts to sew, chuck box to put together, family flag to make, 10 mile hike, house to deep clean so that we won't be embarassed when Grandma comes to stay!







Swimming Lessons were awesome as usual! The kids have the best teacher ever!
The all are turning into little fishies!
Hannah put her great swimming abilities to the test in a relay race and won the race for the team! Way to go HANIE BANANIE!
