No way the house will be cleaned before Kyle and Nicole come out!!

We're getting excited to see Nicole and Kyle!!!

We're gear gathered for the big backpacking trip.
Elliot loves his new sleeping bag.  It's been cute to see him "get all cozy" in it.

Currently the tent is set up in the living room to make sure we're all going to fit.

There should be some interesting stories in next weeks entry.

Either way this trip is going to be "epic" :)

Here are some random pictures from the last couple of weeks.

Hyrum's last tee-ball game, ended at the top of the first inning with a huge downpour.
"Dad that was the funnest game this year" was his response.

Here's a cute picture of Jen and Elliot in front of the tunnel we hiked last week

I was in Denver a couple of weeks ago from some training for work.

There was a comic con convention going on across the street.

It made for some fun people/creature watching.

In Issaquah there's a mountain were a lot of people paraglide.  After work a bunch of us hiked up to the point where people "jump" off into the blue.  It's a nice hike and fun to watch the paragliders.
Maybe I'll try it after the boys have left home....
