New 'Do

Grace got a new hair do. It is must easier to comb and the style definitely suits her spunky personality!

Court of Honor

Silverdale Boy Scout Troop 1550 had a court of honor and talent show last month at the Bremerton Naval Hospital. Jared advanced to the rank of second class and received merit badges for First Aid and Citizenship in the Community.

Half Way?

It is hard to believe that Mike has been serving in the Silverdale 3rd Ward bishopric for 2 1/2 years now. Makes me wonder are they half way through? Here Mike is pictured with two the wonderful men he serves with, Keith Shumaker (Left) and Bishop Bruce Vidinhar (center).

We are the Champions!

Jared and his equally weird buddy, Isaac are so excited about their medals that they can hardly contain themselves.



Last month Jared's Destination Imagination (creative problem solving) team took first place in their division. Last weekend they competed at the state level and brought home 2nd place medals! Not too bad!

Having a Ball

We celebrated Sam's 7th birthday at Olympic Indoor Soccer Center this year and combined two of his favorites at the party: soccer and Legos.

Meet Gunner

Our new POOpy, I mean pUppy, came to our home as a gift for Audrey and Sam's 10th and 7th birthdays. He is a little springer spaniel pup with lots of spunk. Jared also likes to call Gunner James Bond because of his "tuxedo" coat of black and white fur. Mike has high hopes of him being a great gun dog and I envision him as a faithful running partner. Faster than a speeding bullet right?
