Joey's 16th Birthday!

Joey is 16! Holy Cow! He had some buddies from his bible study over for a swimming pool/pool/Rock Band party! He got Rock Band for his Wii game for his birthday! It's so great to see Joey connecting with some great guys from church!

Engagement Party and Chelsea's 20th Birthday

Great engagement party at Chelsea's home and also celebrated her 20th birthday! Great fun time- we were definitely the "old" ones! Gracie loves a party!

Summer vacation Part II

We had a great second half to our summer vacation -
We spent a few days at a guest house at the Youth with a Mission base in Cimarron, CO. It was very quiet and peaceful. We sent biking, fishing, swimming, hiking and sight seeing. Saw Box Canyon Falls in Ouray and Black Canyon of the Gunnison. Great family time!

Lake Powell

Great to be back on the Western Slope, as we can get to Lake Powell in 3 1/2 hours! Gracie was a trooper, took naps on the speed boat, and enjoyed the water in her life vest! Wade and Joey both loved the wake board and the tube!

Gracie loves sitting outside with the statues

She loves to sit with her doggie by the "boy and doggie statue" outside!

Jessups and Yamos

Great picture of all the Jessup and Yamo kids, including fiance's (Chelsea and Deborah)! Jessups are great frineds of ours since Denver days- we've followed them geographically and now are in the same town once again- John and Kirk also now work together at the church!

Fun with Russes

Russell Dornisch lived with us for the summer. Him and Gracie sure bonded- she still asks for Russes (the name she called him) juice (his gatorade!).
