August

In August, Chad did the Coeur d' Alene Triathalon.  He did it in 3 hours 11 minutes and i dont know how many seconds,  He did it with his brother, Troy and Brother-in-law, Chris. They all did a Great Job!  He is planning  on doing another one in September in Spokane.  We also had a Duce family reunion!  Chad's parents own some property up by Bumble Bee Campground near Kellogg.  We camped, fished, floated the river and the kids decided to do mini triathalon since their Daddy's were in one.  They trained for it the day before.  They did a swim, bike and then a run.  They were pretty tired after.

Keyera caught the only Fish!  We didnt get a picture of it , though!

Keyera and Caleb went on Grandpa's four-wheeler all by themselves.

July

We Celebrated Katelynn's 3rd birthday on July 4th , Keyera's 9th Birthday on July 13th and Kylie's 6th Birthday on July 26th.  We also went on our Annual trip to Libby, Montana for camping and fishing with my parents..  I love to fish so i always look forward to this trip.  The 3 oldest kids took turns going on the boat and catching some fish.  The kids had a great time too.  July was a very busy month for us!!

Summer fun!

We had a very busy Summer this year and had alot of Fun together!



In June we went to Seattle and saw the Aquarium and went to the Zoo. We also walked along Pike Street and went to the Temple. The kids had a lot of fun! At first the kids said they wanted to move to Seattle, but after staying there for 3 days and being in alot of traffic, they quickly changed their minds!
