Camping at Neah Bay

I thought I'd post some of the great pictures we had from our camping trip to Neah Bay this summer. It was a blast and we did all sorts of fun things like fishing, kayaking, swimming, and kite flying. All around great time, aside from getting sea sick out on our little boat! We stayed at the best camping spot ever and would highly recommend it to everyone!

Pumpkin Patch

I haven't uploaded the pictures I took yet, so I will have to borrow Natalie's for now. We drove out to a little pumpkin patch that's half a mile away from the Idaho border. I had no idea how close we live to Idaho!! It was great fun and we got some super pumpkins for carving and some gourds and squash for decoration/eating. I'm getting excited for Halloween...it's always nice to have a holiday to look forward to. We all got invited to a Halloween party this weekend and costumes are required, so let me know if you have any great ideas for Nick and I. We are having a hard time deciding and could use some brain power!

Best Pics of the Week

I would have to say that the best pictures of this week by far were of Nick when he did a "stress relieving" face mask and used one of my headbands to keep his long hair out of the way. (I think I will get in trouble if he finds out I posted it on here!) There's also a picture of Ryker laughing at him because he looks so funny. He was actually scared of him at first.

This weekend was pretty low-key. Saturday Nick and I decided to go fishing at one of the lakes around here, but apparently they are all closed for the winter. Bummer. At least we got to drive around and see the beautiful fall trees. I tried to take a picture of them as we were driving along.


After lots of fun things like laundry and cleaning, we all worked together to make dinner. We had a spectacular seafood dinner complete with king crab, muscles and mahi mahi with homemade apple pie for dessert. Dishes weren't quite so fun afterwards but it was sure yummy! Sunday we had the missionaries over for dinner and made homemade pizza. We sure make a great cooking team! Nick's been studying for his big week of tests. Hopefully well being well rested and prepared will make it a great week for him!

EWU Football

Nick, Natalie, Kevin, the boys and I all went to the first EWU football game of the school year. Even though it was freezing and we had to walk forever to get there, it was so much fun! We braved the freezing weather and cheered our team on. Ryker looked especially cute in his little EWU sweatshirt. It was a great game especially towards the last quarter when our guys really started playing well. Unfortunately we ended up losing by a touchdown! Better luck at the game this weekend.
