Lots of good-byes

Our great friends, the Henderson's, got sealed in the temple for all eternity. It was beautiful to witness.
Somebody actually threw us a going away party, thanks to the Baker family. It was great to see our friends. We have really felt loved by the Westminster ward. Matt has totally enjoyed working with the youth and is looking forward to writing to lots of missionaries in the near future. I have learned so much from all the great sisters I had the opportunity to serve with.


Fourth Annual Ocean City Trip

Another awesome year in Ocean City, Maryland. The Boardwalk, the sand, the pool, and a super condo to stay in (thanks to the Funk Family).
Quincy enjoying a whiplash of a ride.


Ahoy
We have photo of Quincy is the same pool and same floatie only three years earlier.
Sophie met a friend and they played the whole weekend.

Who needs push ups when you got a 40 pound toddler.

A visit to the visitor center

We meet our friends Lani and Charlie (Lani is one of Matt's agents) at the DC Temple. We toured the visitor center and took in a couple movies. We then had a wonderful dinner with them. Charlie is so sweet and patient with our kids. He feed Quincy his whole Chinese dinner. The temple is so beautiful. It has been great going there for the past three years, but looking forward to the Boise temple because we will be much closer.

A moment of peace


I love where Henry is looking.

Hon Fest 2010

Matt has been wanting to go to Baltimore's Hon Fest for the last three years. We finally made it and it was worth the heat. Sophie loved all the dressed up ladies and Matt loved saying Hey, hon to everybody. www.honfest.net





Sophie is 6


Sophie and Quincy woke up early and excited for her birthday. Quincy unfortunately became quickly disappointed. Thank you to the Aunt Dana and Aunt Jamie who sent him a present, too.





Summertime starts with lazy mornings

I'm Sailing

Sailing was on my bucket list and we had the opportunity last Saturday to sail out of Annapolis. Matt's co-worker, Kathy, invited us out on her boat. Sophie was old enough to tag along while the boys stayed home.

Sophie took this picture all by herself.
Kathy races with her sail boat every week.

All hands on deck, Sophie giving the boat a wash down.

kindergarten celebration

Sophie has had a fabulous kindergarten experience. The school was great, her teacher was awesome, and Sophie learned so much. They had a kindergarten celebration for all the parents to attend. We spent the morning in the classroom seeing all that they have been doing all year, ate lunch with them, and then we went and watched a program.

Sophie and her teacher, Mrs. Kyker.

This is Billy, Sophie's first crush.

We sang and danced with the Gingerman. He is a local Baltimore kids entertainer.

The kindergarten teachers got down to Play that Funky Music, Teacher!
