We went down to Eugene to visit Troy's sister Becky who just had her baby. It was so wonderful to finally get to hold him. I am SOOOO happy for Shawn and Becky and I know that they are going to be INCREDILBE parents.
Here the girls are with their greatly anticipated cousin baby Cameron~
Uncle Troy with his new nephew~
The expanded Thomas Family. Aren't they cute~
Troy's dad's family came down last weekend to go see Cameron. And while they were here we went and played frisbee golf. I like to call myself the "designated loser" when I play. I am there to make the guys look really good. =)
Here are Troy and Johnny. Check out Johnnys frisbee throwing face.
This how you spend a lot of your time when playing frisbee golf at Hoover Park. Lot's of bushes, trees, and blackberry bushes and a creek for the frisbees to get lost in. Here is David looking for his.
Hazel wanted to play too. Here she is demonstrating how to throw.
Troy's sister, Sarah, stayed with us the whole week. We had a wonderful visit with her. She had to go home on Saturday so Sarah, the girls, and I drove to Chuck E Cheese in Tacoma to meet the rest of the family half way. Needless to say, the girls had a fantastic time.
The girls have such wonderful uncles. They were so sweet and took them all over that place and played with them. Here David is showing Violet the fine art of making a music video! =)
And here is Johnny showing Violet how to shoot aliens. The uncles are knowledgeable in so many different areas.
Here is a picture of the kittens before they started going to their new homes. The grey one is Samson, he was the first one to go away. Jonah is the white faced one, I believe his new name is Guido. Then there are 2 black ones (Luigi and Laila) in there somewhere. Jonah/Guido and Luigi went to my mother in law (THANK YOU LAURA!), and Laila is waiting for a new home.
We had fun with them, but I am sooo glad they are all gone.
Violet took it upon herself to give Laila a "bath" a couple of weeks ago in the swimming pool. Unfortunatley you don't get clean in a pool full of algea water and dirt. And kittens REALLY don't like being submerged in any kind of water clean or otherwise.
This last picture is a one of one of my favorite families. This is Nicoles wedding to her husband Aaron, back in May. Just thought those of you who know the Bratchers would like to see beautiful bride Nicole and the man who has her heart.

1. I hope I look as great as Becky when I'm a brand new mom
2. Did you get a tattoo with Sarah?
3. Love the wet kitten photo.
Nice pictures. And, Jonah's new name is Marcelo. Since he's smaller than Luigi and quite a cuddler, just seemed like more of a gentle name. Luigi is regularly wrestling the snot out of Marcelo, but Marcelo seems to take it in stride. We stayed with Luigi's name, since he's kind of a thug...
Great pics Laura, the Bratchers have all grown up so much I didn't even recognize who they were upon first glance!!! Where's that picture you said you were going to post????? Sounds like you've been super busy! We miss you all bunches! Lilyanah will say, "I'm 2 years old just like Violet." & I don't have the heart to tell her Violet is really 3. Thinking she's the same age as Violet makes her feel like such a big girl!!! Anyway, I hope all is well. Are you still swimming? Love you! ~W.
Adorable pics! I know your blog has alot of readership and would like to encourage you to write something on Bill 1738, which, if passed will save children and BABIES from sexual abuse. Senator from Oklahoma is against it. Please go to my blog.
