Babyshower Candids

Last night was Lynzie's (my sister in law) baby shower last night. She is due with her first baby girl at the end of August. We had a great time. The Carlson crew threw a great "little girl" themed party. We made crowns and paper flowers and played musical chairs. It was a wonderful night. I even won a beautiful handmade watch for getting the most plastic rings...

Charise, Heidi, Lyn, Estelle and Becca
I want to be as pretty as Becca when I grow up. She has the light of Christ shining from her eyes. She is gorgeous on the inside and out. I am hoping "someone" I know will figure out how amazing she is! :)

We had to document the "in" color to wear...does happen to be my favorite color...coral/salmon whatever you want to call it...Great minds think alike, right ladies??

Summer Camp Fun!

Rylee has been attending the summer camp that they have a the local rec center. They do lots of great things...swimming, crafts, games, and cooking. She sure loves going. Here are the magnets she made last week. Not too bad for a 6 year old.

Too Cute!

He just gets cuter and sweeter everyday!

Dip Netting

(I borrowed the pic from my friends blog, thanks Diane, since I haven't had a chance to go see the chaos myself this year) It is dip netting season, where residents of AK take huge nets down to the beach to catch large amounts of fish for their family. They get something like 25 for the head of household and 10 for each dependent. All I can say is that it is TOO many fish to clean and put away. All those dots in the water are people out in the water trying to catch fish. The beach is also filled with tents. You can click on the pic to make it larger so you can see it better.

Balloon Blowers!

Zoey and Avery are learning how to blow up balloons. As you can see, Zoey has mastered it a little more.

Fold Your Arms!

Little Levi has learned to fold his arms for prayers. It is so cute. He looks around to see if everyone is doing it and then quickly folds his with a huge smile on his face. I love to watch them learn and grow each day.

Rylee the Photographer

Rylee really enjoys taking pics...and with technology these days what does it hurt?? If the pics are bad then you just delete them. Here are a few of her master pieces.

Laughing Boy

My day is complete...I heard a child laugh. The girls can sure make their little brother belly laugh.

Crawling Levi Style

Levi is still not "crawling" but he does get around his own. Check it out.

Over a year old and he finally did it...LEVI SAID MA MA!!

I am so excited!!!

King Salmon Season

Ryan and Rylee on the boat

Rylee landed her first King Salmon. It is not the biggest king ever, but it is big to her. She called me all excited, but told me "I will not hold it for a picture" Good thing daddy was there to help her out!!

Shelby also caught her first king a few nights earlier. The girls have been the lucky ones so far. These are the only two we have gotten in the boat this year so far. It is my turn now...I know that world record king is out there waiting for me! :)
