Where do I start?

I haven't updated my blog since James' birthday in June...so I feel a little behind.  Here are some fun things that we all have been up to!

JUNE
James, Mason and I climbed Silver Star Mt.  The summit is about 4,300 ft. and climbs in elevation very quickly.  We had fun but, it was a challenge in my opinion!  Great memory though and so beautiful!  Here are some of the pictures from our hike.


Mason and I at the start of our hike...we still have smiles on our faces :)



Starting to climb in elevation...as you can see the trail is getting pretty steep!


About this time in the hike Mason informed James and I that he was turning around and going back to the car...and he felt good about his decision!


Sturgeon Rock


Still lots of snow on the mountain...perfect timing for a snowball fight!


Almost to the summit!


All of us at the summit!  WE MADE IT!


James and Mason preparing an MRE for lunch...vegetable ravioli...actually wasn't too bad!


The summit registry...of course we added our names!


Beautiful wild flowers



Dad and Mason taking another short break before we start the big decent.






We completed the 9 mile round trip hike!


James' Hike to Mt. Adams

James hiked Mt. Adams in late June.  There was still a lot of snow for their hike as you can see in the pictures.  We were very proud of him!  Here are some of the pictures from his trip:

Zach and Cherish Thiessen's Wedding (Harstine Is., WA)

In July, James and I got to attend our dear friends' wedding in the Puget Sound.  It was beautiful!  We were kid-less for a couple of days...IT WAS WONDERFUL!  We are soo happy for Zach and Cherish.  They have great family and friends, and we felt very fortunate to be a part of their VERY special day!  Just a beautiful wedding...



Happily Ever After! ♥


Our friend John, Zach, and James
