Camping with the McNutt's

Back in August, (yes, it's been a while!) we went camping with Kelly and her girls. We also had Blayne and Kelly's other cousin Erin with us. We had a blast. The weather was a little cooler on Saturday then we wanted, we weren't brave enough to raft down the river. The kids on the other hand didn't have a problem getting into the river to play. Blayne and Erin joined them.

Blayne's 4th of July B-day

We had our annual 4th of July party this year to celebrate Blayne's birthday. My neighborhood turned it into a block party. We got the permits, closed down the streets, pulled the BBQ's out front, and the party began.

It was a long, eventful, but really fun day! The kids had a blast, I think the last firework went off around 11:00pm.

New York

I had the fun opportunity to go to Saratoga Springs, NY. with my Mom for a week to visit my oldest sister and her family. The week was filled with fun memories and experiences. Too many to list them all.

Fort Ticonderoga - Lake Champlain

Lake George, NY -

Home of the Americade Trade Show. I was the wrong half of my marriage to stumble upon this event. Blayne would have loved it. I took lots of pictures for him and the kids.

New York City, NY

American Museum of Natural History-
Such and awesome experience. We were there for 4 hours and didn't begin to put a dent in seeing everything. The three kids we had in tow couldn't do any longer than that.

Central Park-

"Top of the Rock"-

We walked from the AMNH through Central Park to the Rockefeller Center.

All in all it was a good trip. We did drive by ground zero, we even saw an Oregon license plate. It made for a very busy and long week. Blayne was a good sport and stayed home with the kids with help from his Mom so I could go enjoy myself.

Hiking in Prineville

At the beginning of June we headed over to Prineville, OR. My little sister lives there and was blessing her baby Jarom. All of my family was there with the exception of Amber, who just moved to New York in March. Jeff, my brother, and his family came from Idaho too. Ashley and Jake planned a day hike for us all to go on. It was the perfect day for it. We hiked in to a pond, had lunch and played around then hiked back home. We ran into some snow and the kids enjoyed hiding and throwing snowballs at everyone.

If you know the Fletcher family very well then you'd know we are a picture taking family. Every opportunity for a family picture is taken. This is our first family get together of the year. We are all there except Amber. We missed you Amber!!

Victoria turns 9!!

My girl turns 9 today! We celebrated her birthday on Sunday while we had friends and family in town. Cass decorated her cupcakes for us and did a great job! I loved the piano!

Victoria has turned into quite a little lady. I'm not sure if I'm ready to have her be so grown up.

I love you Victoria! We are truly blessed to have you in our family. Thanks for being a wonderful daughter!!!
