Abby's Big Day

We were glad that we were able to spend the time with Abby on her very special day.

July 5th 2008

We Love you Abby.

It was great to have her Great Grandmas there.

And what would it be without a little attitude.

Help, she's heavy

The Cuties of Coeur D' Alene, Id.

From our week in Coeur D' Alene. We spent the week with Tiffany and Rob. Went to the lake, Sweetwood resort, the 4th of July parade and the fireworks show on Lake Coeur D' Alene. It was good to have, Grandma & Grandpa Steenblik, Grams Neuenswander and Megan & Joe with us also.

Do you think you could get any cuter, Sydnie?

Now there's a real ball player. You get the other team
down so far that it becomes a laugher. Brett would
get a real kick out of this, he use to do the same thing when
he got bored.

And what kind of attitude do we have here?

Oh how we miss them.


At the Parade

We Love you guys

Another Fun Night @ the A's Game

Great seats as usual when LaVor is in charge, two
rows behind the A's dugout.

Watch out for the flying bat.

Thanks, LaVor and Kimberly for a fun night at the A's game.
They won in the bottom of the 9th, 3-2 over the Tigers and yes
we stayed to the bitter end and then some.

What is going on here? I thought Tracking was the preferred aerobic activity for Missionaries.

A Columbian Dish "Bandeja Paisa"

Typically, bandeja paisa includes grilled steak (either ground or whole), chicharrón (fried pork rind), red beans, rice, chorizo (sausage), a fried egg, and an arepa. It is usually accompanied by sweet fried plantains and a slice of avocado. Some versions include a tomato or sauces like hogao, a potato, or other ingredients. The Bandeja Paisa is said to be of no good for the heart and it may cause hypertension, diabetes and obesity. Contains a high level of calories, carbohydrates and saturated fats.^[2] Bandeja Paisa contains between 1500 and 1800 calories the total energy that should be ingested per day. Bandeja paisa is a good resource or nutrients: minerals, vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates and fats but the portions should be small. Beans and rice are a good mix because the rice complements the amino acid that the beans do not have. The chorizo and chicharron are not good health because of the high level of saturated fat they contain.


What was in the Bandeja Paisa anyway, my stomach, I can't move.
No Tracking today.

What's up with this part down the side of your head?

Mother's Day Flowers

Happy Mother's Day Flowers from Abby, Lance and Syndie.
Thank You! Grammie misses you.

A night at the A's game

Finally.... Dad has figured this thing out, I think. Oh how I long for the good old days of snail mail, 35 mm cameras and undeveloped film. I keep saying, to myself, it's not so good exposing your weaknesses they just give way to your vulnerabilities. At my age who cares. Thanks Julie for your patience, we're trying.

Here we are at the A's game last night. We stayed to the bitter end. A's won in 10 innings 2-1

Great seats 4 rows up in back of home plate.

It's always fun when we're together.

Game Night at Grams and Papas

He has one hidden up his sleeve... reminds us of our dear Julie

I don't think you counted that right!



The Girls at Womens Conference

Ha-Ha! We left the guy's at home while we, besides getting spiritually enriched, PARTY ON.
Movies every night, out to dinner, what more could we ask for.
Say, are you boy's have fun yet?



Who's picking us up?
