Before I forget

I just had to upload some picture because it's been so long I was afraid I might forget how.
We have done some stuff I could blog about but I always forget the camera.
I should have dowloaded these as cookies on the side but I didn't so they are here instead. If you are wondering I had Bree help me with the cool background.

The River

It's cheaper than the pool and only a little bit colder...the truckee river that runs through downtown Reno. At least this is the deserts version of a river.
I have no idea why these pictures are in black and white. I'm lucky to turn the camera on and snap a few shots let alone change them to anything.
We nearly let Parker get swept away so he stopped enjoying it for awhile.
I asked him to pose for this picture since he stayed out of the water for quite awhile.
Bree warming herself in the sun like a lizzard.

Camping in Yosemite

This was before the first hike when everyone was fresh and all smiles. After this hike things got ugly.
Just the feet at upper and lower Yosemite falls. Nice legs!
Glacier Point with half dome in the background. A long drive but what an incredible view.
Like father like son.
Children braving the freezing temperatures of the river. Anyone crazy enough to go all the way under was dubbed in the polar bear club. All the Donnelly kids are in the club along with Spencer, James and Doug Field.

Backyard Action



Parker, Spencer, James and Blakelee on the backyard tire swing. The only thing to do in the back according to our kids. They just don't know that was a hundred plus dollar tire that had to be replaced. So in other words we went all out for backyard fun. The tree came with the house.

Swimming good time

We hit the pool after the baptism. It looks like these two have had enough.
Parker and James jumped in so many times Parker threw up the pool water and cake when we got home.
Reese looking so fine.
James the fish with his unique swimming style. Spencer and Blakelee were there I just don't have pictures of them. Look for them on the tire swing.

Parker gets baptized

Yes we needed another cake from Amanda. A stripling warrior for the baptizee.
Parker was baptized Sat. June 7th. The Adams grandparents were there, the Fields drove up from Long Beach and the Heddells came from Alameda.
The boy and his father in white.
Gregg loved the water so much he put his jumpsuit back on and went in again (to let the water out).
Me and my buddy Arlene in our Eddie Bauer outfits.

Kidz with camera





When your kids get big they take pictures of themselves. O.k. it's mostly Bree and Blakelee doing this.

I did it by myself







Keely's birthday and whatever just because I finally can. Gregg is in the other room shouting help to me. It turns out I needed help from a professional, thanks Natalie.

Bree turns 16




Bree turned 16 on May 9th. We ordered this really cool and expensive cake and invited the kids from church to view and eat it. As you can see the boys showed up.

Parker's 8th Birthday



We invited two neighbor families over (that we also know from church) and called it a party. When Parker got this tent from one and money from the other it was a party.
