MITCHELL - AUGUST 2007


Mitchell recently had a meeting with his Kindergarten teacher and he is now VERY excited about starting school. When we left he asked, "Mom, how many days until Kindergarten?". I told him there were 7 more days to go and he replied, "I wish it was only one, because this is going to be the funnest thing I ever done."

CAMPING TRIP JULY 2007

Camping Buddies!

Daddy and his boys roasting marshmallows around the campfire!

The beach in Homer provides Mitchell and Quinn with hours
of entertainment. It was especially interesting with such a dramatic low tide.

Memorial Day Weekend

It's good to be King!


A couple wild animals in a cage? Yes indeed!!
Boys and FIRE!!

The tradition continues with the annual Memorial Day weekend in Homer. The camping and fishing seasons begin each year as we make the five hour journey south. This year, as usual, the Peckham and Stanley families helped us kick-off the season. New to the Memorial weekend adventure were the Hewletts, MacFarlanes and Cresswells.

The fishing was great, the s'mores were sinful, the beach was every child's (and dog's) playland, the campfires were roaring and the rock throwing was endless.

Oh How Sweet It Is!

Ready for church and being especially sweet. It's amazing that such sweet looking boys can get into so much mischief!

2007 Fun Run at the ZOO



It was the first Saturday morning in May when crowds of 'camera ready' parents stood at the finish line in great anticipation. There were many high-fives, grins from ear to ear and a few tears as racers either ran, walked, wobbled or were carried across the finish line. For many a 3 year old, this was the longest run of their lives!

PROUD AS CAN BE

A big day for Mitchell this May 4th has been. Today was the first day he rode his bike without training wheels. He was so proud of himself!! His inspiration and determination came from Carson, a friend in the neighborhood who is also 5 years old. Mitchell saw Carson without his training wheels and he asked if he could try. When he instantly 'got it' Daddy quickly removed Mitchell's training wheels and the showing off began.

Whoever said, "they grow up so fast", really meant it.

MAY MAYHEM

May brings many wonderful activities to the Guyer family. There is much to look forward to but not without a little mayhem in the process. For us May includes:

Spring (at last), Lori's best friend's birthday, the "Fun Run" at the zoo, Scott traveling to Portland for a week, the birthdays of our sisters-in-law, Quinn's best buddy turning three, Mother's Day, our wedding anniversary, and most exciting of all is Memorial Day weekend which is the official kick-off to the camping and fishing season. It is that weekend when our family and several friends make the journey to Homer. Some of those on this journey are in hot pursuit of halibut; others seeking a weekend out of Anchorage; others chasing dogs, skipping rocks on the beach and running free; others relaxing by the ocean and taking in the beauty of Homer; and everyone enjoying time with friends, creating lasting memories together and eating way too many s'mores!

God continues to bless the "Alaskan Guyers" with riches beyond our wildest dreams. With two little boys in the house, God's blessings are right before our eyes. They keep us real, remind us of what's important and bring joy to our lives.
