we love.... our family saturday night games

remember the little boy a year older than karis-17 who gave her her first bruise by biting her finger when she was 4 months old in the nursery at church? yup--it's zach. here they are engaged in settler warfare. (click on settler to find out more info) she forgave him.

and here's cody--the younger (but taller) brother. he rivals cousin nate at the game. except he's known for saying, "i need half a boat!" which makes us laugh and annoyed with him at the same time.

after only being invited over 4 times in the past 5 years to others' homes, we are thankful that our long time (20+ years!) friends, the snyders, have warmly accepted all 9 of us into theirs for the past 4 weeks straight. and the fact that they like to play games (darrell and robin typically are in the basement playing ping pong or nodding off in matching recliners while watching sports), eat, laugh and watch sports just makes the memories that much more fun.

and the youngest, 4 months different in age than olivia-12, keri are SO alike it's downright scary seeing as this is the first time they've lived in the same state their whole lives. it was extremely difficult to get these two to be still long enough to get a picture, let alone a
good one.

let the good times roll, girls, let the good times roll....
