Lake Shasta with friends

Brittany, a good friend of ours, has a family cabin at Lake Shasta (five hours away) that we got to go to for a long weekend. There were 8 of us - Brittany, Paul, Tom, Hannah, Matt, Heidi and us. Her family keeps a couple of jet skies at the lake so we got to ride them around a part of the lake until one stopped working. Matt and I got this brainy idea that we could fix it with the limited amount of tools that I keep in my truck and we failed. But we had a swimming dock to hang out at and swim. It was a lot of fun hanging with our friends.

Colorado Reunion

In July we went to Estes Park Colorado for Julie's family reunion on her dad's side. We rented a Class C RV to do the trip in, it was a lot of fun but the fuel mileage was not the greatest. While we where there we went down to Golden to take the Coors Factory tour. It was cool to see how the beer was made and all the history of it. The best part of the tour was the free beer at the end, ICE COLD COORS LIGHT. It was amazing................ Before we left for the trip Mike's girlfriend Janna came back from Afghanistan. She is there on a missions trip for a year. So she came back to surprise Mike and to go with us.

The Beginning of Summer / Fresno Trip

Julie and I went down to Fresno to start the summer off with Paul and Daniel Graduating from Fresno State. It was a great trip to see everybody and to be with the Fam.

The YACS in black are back

Solfball season has begun!!!! This is the teams 7th season playing together. It is a coed team that is made up of all of are friends. Some faces have come and gone over the years but we still have the core group that plays every year. This picture is at are first game of the year. The temp I think is around the low 40's, it was a bit cold at first but we got use to it as the night went on. We won the game 9 to 7!!!! It was a great time getting back to the swing of things.

A long time coming

Well, it has been over two months since I have even looked at our blog. I gave the Vigers a bad time about not doing theirs for so long and then I do the same thing. Since the last time I did anything to the blog, a lot has happened. Julie threw me a 30th birthday party - I think we had about forty people or so at the house. All I know is that we had no leftovers and Julie cooked for an army that night. It was a great time. Pete, Kristin and Piper came up from Sacramento for the party and to have some Central Oregon fun. My Dad also came up from Fresno. We had a great time hanging out and getting to know Piper in between the hospital visits. Pete and I skied a couple days - one day we had some fresh, deep powder and the next we had spring snow conditions.

Last week my mom and I went up to Seattle to see some family that we have not seen in a long time. We saw Aunt Rita, her son Tom, his girlfriend Debbie and her daughter Ann and her husband Rob. We had a great time - I think we ate every type of international food. We had German, Dutch, Italian, Russian, and I think Mexican food. It was a fun seeing the sites with them and just hanging out.
