Trip to Washington and Montana

In June we traveled to Washington for the retirement celebration for Angie's father.  I do not know how we left without any pictures!  But, it was a great celebration.

We took the train back home, stopping in Glacier National Park for some days hiking.

2010 - A GREAT SUMMER FOR TENNIS

Nathan won 2 tennis tournaments this summer and has continued playing throughout the year.
He has worked his way up to 19th ranked for his age in the Northern Section.



Jeff plays a lot of tennis too... and sometime they play doubles together.



Trip to California

In March, we traveled to California for a visit with Jeff's family. 

Finishing the Basement




In early 2010, we went through the long process of finishing and remodeling our basement.
These "before and after" photos show the change.  The "before" picture also demonstrates how much Nathan enjoys having his hair cut :)

 

2010 - A GREAT SUMMER FOR BASEBALL



Nathan's team won the State Baseball Tournament for Recreational Leagues.



He was a valuable pitcher and hitter.



We went ice skating in downtown Saint Paul.

This picture was taken BEFORE the Vikings blew it in the play off game. Nathan did not look like this AFTER their loss!

This is Nathans halloween costume. He did not do much trick or treating - just tried to scare people as they came to the door.

Nathan played soccer for his school team this fall.

We also made it up to Washington this summer. Nathan and Isaiah built a fort on the beach.

Nathan chose to spend his birthday at Mall of America. We posed for a picture.

Over the summer we traveled to the Northwest. Nathan played in a tennis tournament in Oregon and Grandma and Grandpa Parsons and Trevor were there too.

April 2009 we traveled to Sedona for a spring vacation with family.

There is an alien "museum". Nathan, Isaiah and Julia were intrigued.

We got to do some mountain biking - it was beautiful.

Nathan always enjoys summer. His new toy this last summer was the Ripstick. Here he is sporting his favorite look - the minnesota sock line tan.

We enjoyed a quiet Christmas 2008.
Nathan always shows enthusiasm with gift opening.
