Timberline in the Fall

We had the pleasure of visiting with Matt and Cherida Tidwell this last weekend. They were in Oregon on their honeymoon, so they came by to visit for a few days. We drove up to Government Camp and had breakfast at the Huckleberry Inn, it was great as always. Then we drove up to Timberline Lodge to visit. It was a perfect day; sunny, cool, windy, just perfect for this Oregonian!

Teeth Pulling 101!

Maddy was successful at pulling out tooth number 2. It was a long hard fight, we had to insist on it or she was going to choke on it in her sleep. She felt very good about herself after it finally came out, even though it was against her will.

School 2012

School is in session! The kids have successfully started school, I am alone for half of the day while Maddy is in kindergarten. Gavin is in second grade and Victoria is now a fifth grader.

Here's hoping for a great 2012/2013 school year!!!

Maddalyn and Delaney

During one of the Moore's visits this summer I got these candid shots of Maddy and Delaney having a noodle fight on the trampoline. It was hilarious to watch, they looked like they were having a blast and surprisingly neither of them got hurt.

Some Summer Fun!

Since the weather has been so hot lately we decided to purchase a small pool. The kids have been living in it and enjoying every minute of it. We had My sister Aleesa and her boys come over and spend the day at our house. With our pool and her snow cone maker I think were successfull at escaping the heat.

Later the same day the Nielsen's came over to play in the pool and have dinner before they took off for dental school. We got great use out of our pool today!!

4th of July - Blayne's Birthday

So I was an awful wife this year! I left the 4th of July pictures up a friend that attended Blayne's party. I know they exist but I don't have any of my own. So prior to going to bed at midnight that night I had Ashley take picture of Blayne and I to document his birthday this year. Don't judge me!

Happy Birthday to the best husband a girl could ask for, I love you Babe!!!!!

Zoo trip with the Martins

Ashley and her kids came over from Prineville for 4th of July week. We made a trip to the

zoo while she was here. It was a great day for it, not too hot and no rain!

Getting a picture in the eagles nest is a "have to" for every trip to the zoo.

I thought this picture of these butts were pretty cute,

but these faces are much cuter!

These two look like siblings, not cousins.
