Catching up!

Wow! What a summer!! We can't believe it is coming to an end. Let's re-cap some things for everyone :)

April- Sharee passed her Family Nurse Practitioner Boards and is "official". Signed a contract with Sacred Heart in the Peds Emergency Department. Works about 10-12 days a month and loves it!

April- The American Banditos could not defend their President's Cup Championship. The "Old Men" brought in some ringers and it came down to just a few points. We'll get 'em next year boys!

May- Keri Adams (our favorite person south of the Columbia River) got married and is now Mrs. Matt McGee. Her wedding in San Diego was fantastic and we were so happy to be a part of it. We love you Keri!

May-
Brynnley (Adam and Noelle's daughter and the "love of Brad's life") turned 1! She is walking, talking and blowing kisses...and Uncle Brad and Aunt Chewie spoil her rotten!



May- Wakeboarding starts early this year. Adam and Noelle bought a sweet new boat and wakeboarding has officially taken over golf...although we are MUCH better at golf.

June- Let's face it...June is just a "countdown month" for Hoopfest. Jacob's team played awesome in 6ft & under Elite! Bob's team made it to the championship game of their hoop in the Open (toughest division). They killed two past champions, Team Atlanta and Team Numerica. Kyle's team (2007 Champs) too made it to their hoop championship in the Open. Adam's team however...they were out on Saturday. :(

July- Spent the 4th of July at the Cabin on Hayden Lake. Fireworks were amazing and Gabe's family (Heather, Sharee's sisters Husband) all got up on the wakeboard...even Gabe! It was sweet.

July- We went on a 5 day Whitewater Rafting Vacation through Hell's Canyon on the Snake River with ROW Adventures. One of the coolest vacations we have ever been on. You raft and kayak all day, stop at historical sites, pictograph's, old cabins and mines, you go on hikes, jump off cliffs...they food was too good:) They set your camp up for you and cater to your every need. There is really no good way to explain it. Again, the food was amazing, the guides were inexplicable and the new friends we met from all over the country really made the trip what it was.

July- Sharee is officially jumping wake to wake. :)

August- Happy birthday to Sharee! Normally Brad plans something cool and this year was no exception but Sharee's brother (Damon) came into town and we had to cancel everything (don't worry, we will do it next year) because we had not seen him for a long time. He also brought the newest member of our family...Tera! (sp?) Damon proposed at the cabin when they came up and are getting married on November 7th in San Antonio, Texas! We love Tera! She is the cutest redheaded Mexican this side of the Rio Grande. Just kidding...but seriously, Damon out-punted his coverage.

August- We took Todd (brother), Heather (sis-in-law), Gabe(bro-in-law) and Heather(sis) on the Clark Fork River for a day of Whitewater Rafting. It was super fun...cold, but fun! Everyone got soaked and the river was running really fast.

Well...that's it for now!

PICS TO COME SHORTLY
