still alive

Published by at 12:04 pm under Family

Here’s what I’ve been up to the past couple of months:

Don’s older sister and her kids were out from Minnesota visiting family over here for a month. We played lots of Rock Band when they were over and miss them terribly!

Perrin started Cub Scouts, and looks quite handsome in his uniform. (I’m an Assistant Wolves Leader)

Owen promoted from Kindergarten.

Perrin was baptized. This was a very special day, and doubly so since we were able to have almost all of our family in state for the event. We were missing Uncle Ken, which made picture taking not as much fun. 😉

Enjoyed a Gunnell Family weekend in the mountains where we played lots of baseball, ping pong, ate good food, and visited. I know the picture below isn’t the best quality, with the blurry action and all, but I think this has to be my favorite shot of the whole weekend. This is what family is about. How cool that my boys have fun Uncles and Aunts who totally have a blast with them. Love you, Jenna!

Here you can see some of the water balloons before the “incident”

Went to Comic Con with my brother, Levi, my Dad, and Don. Saw some awesome costumes and one shirt that made me crack up!

This guy made his wolf costume, I was amazed!

For Axton:

I think he has guts to wear this at Comic Con:

Some general good advice:

The boys started school. With our track we only get a week break between grades. Here they are going to First and Third Grade!

Owen got an academic award for reading:

Perrin broke his board and moved on to Green Belt in TaeKwonDo:

That’s a quick update of what’s been going on. The boys went off-track today and we’re looking forward to the month of September.
