We Finally Finished the Siding

It was a monumental family event. We finally put up the last piece of siding on our shop that we have been working on all spring. With Garrity's wedding on the way, this will hopefully give us the time we need to get it painted and looking good for the reception. Yeahhh!! What a feeling.

Megan is holding the last piece in place, Lindsey and Hunter are there for support and dad is ready with the nail gun.

It fits "perfectly"

And for the final nail....KAPOWWW!!

Snow, Snow, Snow!!

You wouldn't know that it is June here. Don't pay attention to the date on the pictures, because they are wrong. We have had so much fun having Bradey and Lacey live by us. One of the many benefits is that Bradey is in charge of the Merrill reunion this year. He wants to have it here in Oregon.

Jason has a client that has a cabin up by Anthony Lakes. The client is allowing us to have our reunion at his cabin. We are so excited. Since the snow hasn't really been melting, we thought we would take a Sunday drive up to the cabin to show Bradey and Lacey what there is to do. As we arrived to the head of the road that heads back to the cabin, we hit a huge snowdrift that would not allow us to take our van down the road. We brought our bikes to ride, thinking it would be a fun family activity. Unfortunately, we couldn't make it further than 5 ft. down the road. We ended up hiking up the road in gym shoes and ankle deep snow. After hiking about a 1/3 of a mile, we made it to the cabin and this is what we found. (keep in mind that it is June).

Gage thinking this is really not that fun of a family activity.

Stop taking pictures and come pick me up!!

You can't see the front porch and stairs, it was buried in snow.

Megan wants a peek too.

Needless to say, after this venture, we are very nervous for the reunion that is 6 weeks away. That's a lot of snow that needs to melt!!

Spring Croquet

Grandma and Grandpa Coleman gave us a croquet set and badmitten (sp?), so we tried it out.
Here are a few fun pictures from that beautiful May Sunday.

Baseball for Megan & Lindsey

In 2011, Megan played minors baseball on the Haines / North Powder team. Her uncle Jake coached. She played mostly 2nd base and even got the pitch a little bit. (She even struck out a 'boy', she was very pumped).
Lindsey played farm on the the North Powder team. She was the only girl on the team and did great!

Cove Playday

In May, 2011 the kids went to the annual 'Cove Playday'.
Below are a few pictures from the activity. Sierra and Megan did great.

Mothers and Daughers 2011

In June, 2011 Stacy and the girls went to 'Mothers and Daughters' at the Catherine Creek Lodge.
Our ward did a Hoola Dance for a talent night show. Below are few cute pictures of the group.
Stacy, Emily and the girls are all looking great.
