Another Independence day at the Lake-Let Freedom Ring

The Gormley Family was once again gracious enough to invite our growing family to celebrate the independence of this great Country with them. We had a blast!

Zach and Kim are due Thanksgiving day. Part of the festivities of the weekend was The Reveal.... You were to wear blue if you thought is was a boy and red for a girl. Zach and Kim split us up into our prospective teams, and as they stood up on the deck through the ball to the winning team. Soooooo who was the winners...... It's a BOY!!!! Go team blue! Congrats Zach and Kim we are sooooo excited for you guys.

The Lake.... Lake Chelan voted #1 Lake town in U.S. I must say I think they actually got it right

Nothing like eating lunch on the deck, in your swimsuit, looking at the lake. What a life

Max and Trenton!

So funny. Brooklyn wanted to go work out with Kim. So here they are doing lunges. Go Kim, Brooklyn and baby!!!

Karen is soooo fun

Hazy, lazy, crazy days of summer

The start of our summer kick off, a trip to sunny, HOT, California to see Nate's family. We had a wonderful trip filled with tons of fun. Blake, Brooklyn and I taking a golf cart ride. Gotta have that water on 90 plus hot days.

We took Brooklyn on a golf cart ride to the driving range. A whole bucket of balls to play with, how fun!

Brooklyn loves taking golf cart rides

Grandpa and Brooklyn. Brooklyn loved wearing sunglasses. If Grandpa put them on his head so would Brooklyn, if he put them on his eyes so would Brooklyn

Love the shades

I had to add this photo because our June was full of Basketball. Phil, Kellen and Nate are faithful Laker fans. This is the night they won the Championship. It was very exciting.

Brooklyn, Addison, and Trenton. Our friend Molly drove up to Washington from Cali with her mom and daughter to visit their great aunt. Before they hit the road to make the long drive back to Cali they stopped by for a visit. So fun!
