Everything

Sorry that I haven't written in a while, but I've been pretty busy. I've started working as a CIT at the YMCA and that is really fun. All that they have me doing right now is.. well.. nothing, for now. My brothers birthday is coming up and so we're all trying to get the preperations around and stuff and we're hoping that my Aunt, Uncle, and Cousins can come for it.

Thats All For Now.


Thanks for reading! :-D

Peter, Sam and Jake

Peter was home only for three days from Italy, before he headed off to Alpine Camp for Boys. He is working as camp photographer and web master, as well as counselor to a group of rising forth grade boys. Sam has applied to work at Costco, he hasn't gotten a call yet. Jake is taking Latin III and riding his bike all over town.

Camp is over :-(

Today was the last day of the half day camp at the YMCA and it was sooo, soo, so fun. This whole week we have gone to places including a place called "Twin Lakes", where we canoed, paddle boated and did archery. We also went to "'Rockin Rivers", and "Inner Space Cavens". Sorry that I haven't posted lately, but we've been pretty busy. I also forgot to mention that the lead counselor has appointed me as a CIT, which means counselor in training, and they choose one guy and one girl to help watch them and keep them in line. ;-D So one day I'll be able to be a leader!

Thanks For Reading!

Camp

Today at camp, we did lots and lots of activities that included: kickball, pool, airhockey, basketball, soccer, Wii, playstation, capture the flag, ball pit, knockout and made friends. Tomorrow the main event is going to a waterpark called "Rockin' Rivers" so it'll be fun.

Well.... bye for now!

Life On The Farm

Life on the farm in Texas is very fun. We own 40+ acres, 25 cows, two horses, three goats, two pigs and four dogs. Right now it is about 90'F outside and very humid. Tomorrow me and my sisters are going to go to a day camp at the YMCA, It should be intresting. My sister was out with the pigs a little while ago and taught "Shy Bear" how to roll on his bac so she could scratch his tummy.This is probably my.....7th time of typing and i finally got it. Othre than VERY, VERY hot days, life is good.

We are the Norm Luiken family and we have been blessed with four children and 15 grandchildren. Following are pictures of our families. Our son Marc and family, daughter Kim and family, daughter Trisha, and daughter Sonya and family. We are spread all over the United States so I thought it would be fun to be able to stay in touch with this blogsite.
