Lots of fun pictures

Here are a few pictures of our life over the last 6 months. Some day we'll start doing this more frequently ... don't hold your breath!

Late night dancing.

First time ice-skating.

Sliding down the grassy slope.  It works much better when the grass is green and not wet.

Happy Harper

Summer still...

First day of school.  Gary starting second.  Bram in preschool.

squeezing in a few more days of swimming before the pool closes for the season

Spokane, WA.  Need I say more?

Gary done wakeboarding after successfully doing a double backflip twist.

Fall brought us...

Larry and Billy catching a BYU game in Mississippi.

Gary played soccer this fall.

Preparing for Halloween.

Both boys contributed to my Scary Face.

First lost tooth.

Halloween Trunk or Treat.  Harper is loving being a beautiful butterfly.

Jumping in the leaves.  There was even enough for the boys to dive in.

Winter once again...

Visits with Santa 

One festive dog.  (She loved the attention she got while taking this photo.)

Seasons of 2011 - Part 1

Winter brought us some snow days...

Gary found the biggest icicle (bigger is better!)

Larry went with a fire to roast hot dogs and mallows.  A favorite in our family.

Bram sliding into a soft pile of snow.

Spring brought us....

A trip to Branson with Grandma and Grandpa Hartzell

Big helpers with the yard work.

Swinging in the front yard.

Lego creations.  I think there are 18 different ships all built by Bram.

Anticipation and excitement to meet Harper.

Wading and finding hidden treasures in the water...

Like a dead fish.

Hot dog and mallow roasting again, but in shorts and T-shirts.

                     Pinnacle Moutain Hike.  But for the boys its more of a run up the mountain while the adults try to keep up.

Good times at the park (Gary and his cousin Beatrix.)

Summer brought us...

Sunny hot days spent at the pool.  Nice jump Bram!

Up to no good at the pool I am sure!

Grilling in the Backyard.

Swim team.  

Tasty Treats to forget how hot it was outside.

More swimming.
