Rejoice...Pray...Give.

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

This verse has come up multiple times this Thanksgiving season and I think that more than ever, it makes sense to stay in a state of RPG! 

 Rejoice! Pray! Give!

Family photo day is always an adventure...but this year, we sure had some magic!  The personalities that they showed me....

Verses the absolute magic that Dolly captured for our family!




The daily pictures from GG's...how special that this one gets to love on great grandma (Grandma and Great Aunt) so much each week!

Fun dinner out with our life group ...so thankful for these 2 in front for opening there home and hearts to us!

Sports and School Pictures....




Crazy Hair/Hat Day!

Wrapping up the semi-finals with some special cheers!



The Salt Gun...no bug stands a chance when Griffin is on patrol.

So I did a thing...100 classes at F45 and I'm loving feeling stronger each day.  Wow, the body sure plays tricks on you as you get older, but I'm happy to be finding my strength and desire to keep getting healthier!

Lucy's Fan Club!


1st Meyer to get braces...

Canyon Hills Fun Night at Elevated Sportz...pretty sure Rich had as much fun as ALL the kids!


Fun night at Whirly Ball with friends!




Last game...the Championship!  While the Cougs didn't end up with a W, I think the real W is the fun this one had this season (and the rest of the Meyer fam too)!




Griffin leading the Bible Pledge at Chapel.

Wednesdays with Leighton!



All dressed up in our Bothell Blue to celebrate another awesome season of CHEER.  Go Cougs!


HCA MOD Pizza night meets Bothell Cheer Banquet!


Over the mountain and through the state to the LAKE oh we will go...we had expectations that Chinook Estates (hahah) would be ready this October/November, but seems like patience is a continued virtue this family must learn.  Oh we are blessed, but we are so ready to share our favorite place with family and friends that we almost can't wait for the cabin to be ready!

Someday the 7bays homestead will be here....

Until then...I will be so thankful for this view and the number of times we have been able to pack our bags and just head to the lake!

Doesn't matter the season...these kiddos love to hit the park and sometimes the pavement with mom & dad for walks!


Enjoying the shop to play and make batch 1 of Meyer Spirited Coffee for 2022!


The new set up guarantees Rich a "Sticky Free Kitchen"!

Teaching Griffin all my secrets!



Off to the beach...weather didn't get above 25 degrees most our trip, but the sun was shining and we soaked up so much outside fun.

Rich got a B.B. gun for his birthday and this was the first chance to teach the kids some gun safety.

Sunshine and smiles...seems like a theme when we are at the lake.





Have rocks. Will throw.  Entertainment for HOURS!!!




A trip to the lake isn't complete without a visit to Love Bird Coffee Shop. The kids went for the ice cream...where Rich and I went for something to warm us up!

Mid week adventure to watch the Cougs in Spokane!

Road warriors...these kids are trained travelers!!!

 

And then the SNOW came...LOTS of it, but no pictures!!!


You should see the other guy...I mean the mailbox.  Leighton 0, Mailbox 1!


A detour on the way home to practice their shooting :)

Thanksgiving ...so much to be thankful for this year and I pray that my heart is always reaching to a place of gratitude for the blessings surrounding me!




Rich took a little adventure in November to Elk Camp 2022...


Not sure when this one grew up...but it seems to be happening faster than I'm ready!


Annual Meyer Family Christmas Tree Adventure - 2022!






Picking their own colors this year...girls with girl (Go Mom's Team) and boy with boy (Go Dad's Team)!

When Apple Cup starts at 7:30pm and you just can't hang!!!



Ended November with SNOW....what the what!
