J. Crew

Being with the J. Crew is like a quiet walk in the woods...

Time to reflect and just enjoy family togetherness...

To smile and soak in the moment...

When the craziness let's loss, because we are all together!!!

The whole crew

The "Senior" Crew

The "Junior" members in age order.

"You think this is crazy, huh? huh? Do you?!"

Grandma Maggie exploring the best way to cut the cup for maximum air lift


Uncle Trent dares the girls to sit on the toilet.

"Am I really suppose to be up here?"

"So, I am sitting here. What's the big deal? Now, I am Queen of the Castle!"



"We are the dinosaures, Marching, Marching!"


We are being paleontologist. We get to dig, brush, and discover our own dinosaur bones.


Now, we are discovering the animal inside of each of us. Grandma was suppose to be named Farmer McGregor, but she ended up being a girl.


Live action shot: animals in motion.

Silver Falls

The family leaving on a hike, lead by the famous explorer... Uncle David.

Thanks to my ankle, I couldn't hike to the falls. So, Reva and Sabrina stayed to keep me company.



The Best Backyard Ever!

David and Reva took us over to some of their friends to play in their backyard. It turns out the yard has a huge play structure, a trout pond, a bass pond, a paddle boat, a row boat, a stream with sand toys, benches, and a hammock in the shade. It was fun to explore their yard.

Grandpa Tom fishing, as always!


Uncle Trent teaching Hannah how to fish. Hannah loving her first time fishing.

"Cheese!!!"



The loading dock


Hannah loving every minute





The girls enjoying the paddle boat rides around the pond. The famous explorer, Uncle David, leads this outing as well.



Swinging, is there any great pleasure in the whole world!






Watch out Tarzan!


You're never too old to dig in the dirt.


"When you come to the end of a perfect day!"


Elizabeth is smitten with Punkin. She keeps trying to convince us that we need a dog. I was so blunt I told her it was Dad or a dog. She chose having a dog!!! I had to veto that vote.
