Our world travelers!!!!





I am so jealous of "the boys", they have done it all and have been traveling since June... we'll they kinds still have the freedom that makes it possible...
Brad got home about a year ago from his mission in Brasil... not married.....not dating...(
hint hint)
Jeff just graduated from Highland high school and doesn't have a worry in the world.... and then there's Boe my 16 yr old brother that loooks like he's 30! No joke!!! They are the funnest boys! Here is just a small glimpse of what they have been up to. While Blake and Scott are on their missions & we are all home in Az they are out doing this.......
* the beginning of the trip..... Chuuk






On Feb 17th and 18th 1944 the US bombed approximately 30 Japan fighter ships. They were based in Chuuk and we dove 2 of the ships, Fugikawea and Shincoco maru and one air plane called Emily, the flying boat. In one picture we are sitting on the propeller of the aircraft
and the other picture is one from shark island, another dive we did. In all we did 6 dives in 2 days

They went to church there and spent some time with the local kids its a small island and the kids love getting there pictures taking they would always do there gang poses

we were the only white people on the island except the missionary









I believe this is from the Phillipeans



Here are some pictures from Africa where they did their Humanitarian Aid these are so sweet this 1st one is my favorite!




Some of the group that they went with


They went bungee jumping off the worlds highest bungee... over 700 feet !!!!
Crazy if you ask me... actually you couldn't pay me to do it. They took video.. I can't wait to see it.



They went to Jerusalem but I haven't seen any of the pictures from there.
Right now they are in Kiro, Egypt.



Brad has had his 1st experience of being slightly ROBBED. He was at the train station in Egypt and a little boy was standing next to him, (the kid was about 10) Brad was at the ATM and just had entered his PIN and the kids grabbed his debit card and ran off. I believe that Brad is in complete shock. He called my mom in the middle of the night and said, " MOM, my debit card has been stolen.. I am pretty sure they know my pin, cancel the card!" and then he hung up! By the time my mom had called the bank the kid had already spent about $800.00. So my mom called me this morning about 630 and tells me the story, she is slightly worried that something may have happened but no worries Boe & Jeff were at an internet cafe this morning & I chatted with them for a while. Brad was out making reservations for their next venture and getting them food. Boe says he's quite the little servant. After eating dinner Brad & Jeff were on the MAN HUNT to find the little boy. I can't wait to hear the rest of the story...

Happy Birthday to ME!








Even though I turned 28 on the 12th of July I still had a great day! We went to downtown Seattle.. one of my favorite places EVER. Pikes Place Market is the coolest thing. The kids were a little unsure of all the STRANGE people hanging out there. I got some beautiful fresh flowers





and had a few surprises when I got home....






Thanks Scott & everyone else for a perfect day!

Happy 4th of July!













This year for the 4th we spend it at Scott's grandma TUTU's house. It is so beautiful there and we were right on Lake Washington. She lives in a gorgeous party of Washington, Medina. The day was filled with fun things to do. The kids played on the little beach that she has, learned how to play croquet.. which is a tradition in the Biddle family.. I had never played it before. Tutu is a true Patriot, she absolutely loves the 4th of July her house was decorated with the American Flag and the kids had cute little hats that they wore all day, actually Kali still prefers to wears hers just about every day.










Tutu even had a pinata that was a giant star. All the kids loved hitting it when it busted open there was enough candy for the whole neighborhood. Kali & Drew were thrilled. Brig was super happy too. He loved eating candy 1st thing in the morning until his bag was empty... in my defense I had no other choice he throws the BIGGEST fits ever!








Drew LOVES Duncan... that is a bit of an understatement! Here he is right on his lap happy as can be!

I just had to throw in this picture of the 2 little love birds who made this all possible!


What's the 4th of July without a WATERMELON!!



silly aunt 'tall!


Seattle really is amazing. We were able to buy and light off our own fire works! $200.00 later we had a really fun fireworks show! We watched them the whole way home from Tutu's and the
kids loved the experience of lighting them all by themselves!


I love the 4th of July. Thank you Tutu for being such a great host and being so patriotic! I feel so blessed to live in such a wonderful country and to be able to enjoy all our freedom!
I hope you all had a great 4th!
