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.

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

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!

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!

Uncle Haden starting Brooklyn early on the Halo (video games).

Blast from my past!

My high school volleyball team (34-0) got inducted into the Hall of Fame on June 3rd, 2010. It was a sold out crowd of over 900 people and around 35 inductees most alot older then us, but still really neat. I did not get a picture of all the girls from the team who attended, bummer, but we had a good turn out. It was fun to see them, most I had not seen since high school. We had a really fun team and our coach was even more fun. Every game we won at state he let us paint one of his fingernails. Before the state championship game he let us paint the remaining fingers. I wish I had a picture of what they looked like, each one was uniquely painted by a girl.

Dori, Valerie, Coach Reopelle, Holly, and me

Rachelle and I are the second generation of State Champions & Hall of Fame inductees in our family. My dad's State Champion Basketball team was inducted last year. Lacey got close in volleyball and Haden close in football to winning state championships, what a fun run of high school sports. Dori was our amazing setter. This is her mom, dad, husband, and little 6 month old girl. Rachelle we missed you terribly we wish you could have been there. It wasn't the same without you. Dori has three kids and lives in Seattle, so I still get to see her!

This picture is for KG and my UW fan friends. Lorenzo Romar was the guest speaker. For those of you not from washington he is the University of Washington Huskies head boys basketball coach. He was a great speaker!

A month full of Blessings

We were able to make a family trip down to So Cal to visit the Brueggeman's. We knew the kids all were a little sick with runny noses but come to find out everyone had ear infections. Yep, all of them, well except Trenton. We still had tons of fun but next trip hopefully we will all be well.
