I have been pretty lazy about posting pictures this year. Here are a few pictures from our Destin, FL vacation in April.

And here are a few pics from June 2009.

Maryke finally did it! She rode her bike by herself for the very first time – solo! And boy is she excited. Wish I had a video of how excited she was. This movie is her first solo shot. It was a super nice day and I had been practicing with her for a few minutes (well actually 2 years, but lets not go there) before this shot was taken. You can faintly hear on the video that some of the neighborhood kids were saying “Good job, Maryke” but what you don’t see is that the whole neighborhood was cheering her on. It was a really great day in the cul-de-sac.

The kids were getting a little carried away when we took these video shots.  We decided that we wanted to tell jokes to the webcam.  Unfortunately, it seems like the kids don’t remember any real jokes, so they made up their own.  Then the mayhem broke loose…

Meredith decided to organize a “Biggest Loser” competition with the sisters in our ward. She got me to setup a little website for it. Check it out at http://b2biggestloser.ekfamily.net if you want to check it out.

My Grandma Ek passed away on Tuesday, June 3. She was a wonderful lady and we will all miss her. I have included some links to her obituary articles.

We had a good April this year. Check out some of the photos. Most of the pics were taken on Maryke’s birthday. (and there are a few that were actually taken in May)

Here is a video of Maryke scoring a goal in her last soccer match.
