July 2009 Campout

We just absolutely love camping. We had a blast on our family campout that included: my parents, Toph, Lisa, Tayler, & Caden. Katie enjoyed herself a lot more this trip too. She didn't like the rain on the last trip. We are so happy that we are able and want to do things with our family. It means a lot to us that we are so close with Toph and Lisa. Our kids will be great friends and cousins since they are able to be around each other at least once a week if not more. Justin and I are so lucky to have the help from Tayler too. Chase is so fascinated with her. We can't wait for the next trip!

Grandpa Lucht & Chase plant

Mike & Chase planted a plant for us to remember Chase's first 4th of July by. Chase loved being out there helping with planting. Thank you Mike & Dori for making Chase's first 4th of July so nice.

4th of July Weekend

For the 4th of July Justin, Chase & I went up to Pinetop for 4 nights. It was great to have the long weekend there. We had a blast. For the 4th of July we woke up and took Chase to the parade in Showlow. We are first time paraders so we didn't bring the necessities to have while sitting the the shining sun ex. shade, chairs, sun screen & more water. We will be better prepared next year. We had a blast watching the parade though. 4th of July night my parents, Cyndy, Inez, KK, & Joe came & BBQ'd with us. It was a really nice evening. We are going to try to make it a tradition to spend 4th of July @ the cabin. Hopefully it works out to be my weekend off from work:)

Chase's first lake trip

Cyndy & Clint invited Chase and I to go the lake with them. It was Chase's first time being on a boat. He loved it! We had a lot of fun. I am sure there are a lot more lake trip in our future for this little guy.

Happy 100th bday little grandma!

Little grandma turned 100 on June 21st. We were all very lucky to spend such a huge milestone with her. Many more birthdays to come for little grandma. We love you so much. Chase sure loves his little grandma

Our first family pictures

We took our first family pictures back in June. It was a nice day not to hot. There are a ton of pictures I love but I only posted a few. My friend Michael that I work with is the one that took the pictures. He did a wonderful job. Justin actually smiled:) Chase is so photogenic. Hope you like them.
