Go ALL STARS!!! Emily starts volleyball!

Corina Camille Lybbert. Her favorite color is blue and green. Favorite drink is V-8. Favorite sport is gymnastics. Favorite animal is a cat. Favorite TV show is Spongebob. Favorite past time is computer games.

She loves the movie Brother Bear and her favorite part of the movie is when Kenign turns into the bear and you can see all the spirits up in the sky.

Corina is quiet but can be sneaky. She is sweet and gentle. She really wishes we had a cat. Our cat Sparkles ran away and she misses her very much. She was a good cat and Corina loved her.

CB UNITED BLUE TEAM

We went fishing out at the sand dunes on Wednesday night. Bryan, Kaden, Noah, and me all took our poles (I used Maddie's Barbie pole). We drove on one of the off rodes which was very bumpy to a secluded spot where there were willows, water, blue Heron and lots of peace and quiet.

Bryan with his Bass.

I threw my bait in and that very second caught my first fish ever. The fish was squirming and jumping all around and I didn't know what to do with it. Bryan came and helped me take it off the hook and showed me all the parts of the fish. Obviously, I am not used to being around wiggly fish. Then we threw the nice little fish back in. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Especially since Bryan said he would go somewhere that I like to do if I would do something he wanted to do. Hmmm, how about a pedicure Bryan?

Julianne goes to Kindergarten!!!!
I took Juli to class today and and took lots of pictures. I took pictures in the class and then Mrs. Skaug said, "this is when the parents say goodbye to the students...." Gosh, even though she is my fifth child going to school it is hard to say goodbye.

Juli on the playground.

Ok, mom. You can say goodbye now.
I love you Juli.

Johanna and her friend Sara. Sara came home from Poland this summer to visit. Johanna met Sara in Elementary school and they became good friends. Sara's parents are Polish and want her to be able to learn about her culture and others as well. She will finish secondary school in Poland and then come back here for High School. She cane speak 5 dfferent languages and does tons of extra curricular things. We will probably be sending Johnanna to visit her in Poland in a few years in the summer when she goes back home.

A day at the pool.

Last night we spent a few hours across the

street at our neighbors pool.



KADEN
LOVES
BASKETBALL

Noah and Kaden had a routine going. Kaden
would throw Noah the ball and then

he would slam dunk it. I got to watch

this over and over. Bryan finally came and

relieved me and I got to jump in too. He had

Casey duty. Poor Bryan.

My peaches finally came on!!!

Look how beautiful my Alberta's are...

these are just a few. Way more to come!

Last night's dessert. Peach crisp. Everyone loved it but Kaden.

He has informed me that he doesn't like fruit or vegetables.

I decided to shred 3-4 cups of zucchini in my spagetti for

dinner. After he finished off his plate I asked him if

he would ever try zucchini. Not really, was his reply.

I just wanted to say HA!, you just ate some. Kids are

funny. Maybe I'll purree some beets next time. I like

challenges!!!

GIANT'S
GRAVEYARD


Bryan and Kaden went camping overnight on the Olympic Penninsula. They hiked 3 miles into their campsite.

They got to see some amazing tidepools and anenomes.

Just before the hike.

Sea stacks

Starfish everywhere!

Hiking along the ocean, almost back to the trail.

Made a campfire and ate freeze dried sweet and sour pork, bacon and cheddar mash potatoes. Yum!

Almost done! Another mile and a half. Hiking up and down cliffs was "freakin' exhausting" from Kaden.
