We decided to take a drive up to Mt. Baker on Sunday afternoon. It was a beautiful day and we really wanted to get away and just be a family. Of course we missed not having Chelsie with us, that would have made the trip perfect. There is snow up there, but not quite enough to snowboard. We enjoyed the cold air, some hot cocoa and a lot of laughs.

It was a beautiful sunny day in Ferndale today. I took an hour walk and enjoyed the fresh autumn air.

Cooper's 7th grade team had a sucessful season with only one loss. He has moved on to basketball also. He decided not to play AAU this year in order to snowboard. He is playing school ball though.

Cory's freshman team ended their season with only one loss. He has moved onto basketball already. Tryouts are this week.

The Ferndale football team has had a great season so far. We are in the quarterfinals this weekend. We play a tough team from Vancouver, Wa. We play down there at 4pm on Saturday. It has been so fun to be apart of this team. Tanner has had a lot of fun and is hoping it continues a few more weeks.

McKenzie ended her volleyball season on Saturday. She played terrific in her playoff games. I think Thursday's game against Mt. Vernon was her best game of the season. She had 15 kills and 19 digs. She is a strong middle and can hang in the air forever. She has been a blast to watch and am already looking forward to what she can do next year.
