Pictures from the back seat.......by Isaac Henrikson

This was our trip back from Weiser. Isaac must have had the camera and about 7 hours on his hands! Some times these are the most interesting pictures on your camera. The ones you did not know were taken. Millie

You've had a birthday, shout hooray!

So, Luke is now nine! He is growing up so fast. Friday we celebrated his birthday. He had a full on birthday day which started with Sam taking him to lunch and a surprise party when he got home. Then a friend who could not make the party came bearing gifts and played for a while. Then we had a barbecue with family.

Rob and Far Mor watching as he opens his pile of presents.

Stina, Carol and Grandma Julie also looking on. David is in the left bottom corner and Grandpa Frank is in the upper right corner.

Luke and his pile! It is hard to tell garbage from gifts at this point. Happy Birthday Luke. We love you lots. Mom

First Weinie Roast of the Year!!

Okay, so it happened two months ago, but my computer finally let me download some pictures!!
It was a beautiful day in May (and believe me we did not have a whole lot of those!) so we broke out the hotdogs and marshmallows and stoked up the fire.

You have to admit that looks like a perfect roasted marshmallow just waiting for the graham and chocolate.

Isaac letting me take a rare picture. He has decided he does not want to be in pictures. Oh ya, he is thirteen.

Rob roasting a dog or mallow, probably for his wife, he is good that way!

David and Whitney (David's very cute friend) just enjoying the fun filled evening with the family and a fire!! Millie

Luke

Cindi gave me a hard time for not putting Luke in the last blog because he does not own a pretty colorful tie. So, I decided if my computer would let me I would blog him in his Native American deer head dress, which by the way none of the other boys own!!

This was at his potlatch before school got out. Every year the third graders do a Native American study. I got to spend three afternoons at the school helping the kids to put their head dresses together. It was really fun, no seriously it was. They did a really good job at the potlatch with their songs and dances. Don't know how I did it but I was sitting where I could actually see Luke and okay hold on to your seats, I remembered to take my camera and got actual pictures!! I know, it is a surprise. Just can't seem to blog them! But miracles of miracles I actually got to upload two pictures. I am afraid to try any more. Maybe the key is to blog late Sunday night. We'll see. Millie

My Guys!!

I never know when my possessed computer will let me download a picture! Today for some reason, the stars must be aligned, it did! I love this picture. It is hard to tell but David's tie is purple! Luke did not get to be in the picture because he does not own a pretty colorful tie! Are they not a good looking bunch of guys. And I love them lots! Millie

Headed to Weiser!!

So, my computer has gone back to not letting me upload a picture to my blog! (My cell phone is also acting up, I am beginning to think something is possessing my electronics! Of course it could be that my cell phone fell into the toilet. Ya think?) Anyway, it is that time of year and we are headed to Weiser in the morning. Every year it is the same. We have school right up until we leave and everything is super hectic. To add to the fun I began a new job this week working as a home care aid. So, now it is Friday night and I am scrambling to get laundry done and bags packed. Why do the boys always want to take the oldest clothes they own when we go somewhere? I know they have some nicer shirts, I bought them!! But I digress. We are off in the morning and will be gone 10 days. Sam and David are in charge at home, David because he has finals (yes we are technically still in school) and Sam because he has to work. Can it be called a family vacation if not all your family goes? Hannah is going to meet us there on Wednesday, Yay!!
Maybe I will share some pictures when I get back and then again who knows what my tempermental computer will have to say about it! Millie

Me and Hannah

This picture is not much better of me than the one Hannah posted but here it is. It must have been after a soccer game because I am wearing my orange go to soccer games shirt (bought it off the clearance rack at old navy for $1.98!). And we are at my mom's (that is her back patio in the background) so it must be the easter egg hunt. But I digress! I love this girl!! I miss her and look forward to seeing her in Weiser in 2 weeks!!
