Big Truck Day!

Nathaniel loved the digger the most since he has had the most experience with this one.


Logan loves Peek-A-Boo!




Thanks Kathy for telling us about it! Nice to have a friend connected to the library!

Party time!

Here "Logs" eat it like this.




Being cleaned off was not as much fun

Playing in the water fountain



One Extremely tired Birthday boy

First Haircut

Al's Barber Shop... right next to the Cedar Mill Library. It's a cute little shop. We sit and wait our turn with all the old men... then it's our turn. A little nervous the first time, but big brother said it's fine.... just tickles a little bit by the ears. Logan moved around quite a bit, but the Barber was very experienced. Lots of fun!

OMA Camp

OMA Camp was a huge succes. Berry picking, making pies, making homemade icecream, waterfights, making your own pizza, craft time, falling asleep outside while watching movies, all around fun with your cousins! When we came to pick them up, Nathaniel stretched out his hand and said "not ready yet mom!"















Nathaniel can't wait for next year!

Sibling Weekend

In March my little brother came up with a fun trip idea... my brothers and our spouses to get together for a weekend. In order to make this happen we conned my mom into the idea of OMA Camp.... 3 days of non-stop chaos with all 8 grandkids. I honestly don't know how they sold it. But we picked a day and talked it up for 4 months and we finally did it!We had a fabulous weekend.... Hiking, Rafting on the Deschutes, swimming in a cold lake.






Can't wait till we can do it again!

Car Show

Nathaniel has been taking an interest in Motorcycles. The other day I was driving and as we drove by a motorcycle Nathaniel yells out the window, "Hey Mr. Motorcycle Man can I sit on your motorcycle?" (This Momma was thankful we were going 40mph and there was no way he heard him.) Last week Nathaniel told Daddy, "Stop, wait, stop turn the car around, I just saw a motorcycle!" Well we went to a car show at our church and guess what was there?

Nathaniel LOVED sitting on the motorcyle.... and then running around from car to car

A trip to Nevada

Not sure where to start... cheap airfare and hotel took us to Vegas. Expensive food and shows brought us back home. I would give a mixed review on Vegas. While we found plenty to do there, I'm not sure I would want to go back. I guess time will tell. Initially I was overwhelmed with the hot temperatures (105!) , the crowds of people, and the smoke in the air. But it was nice to have some time to ourselves. We saw an Amazing Musical "Jersey Boys" and a Cirque De Soliel "Ka".

The tigers from Siegfried and Roy were in "The Secret Garden". We saw them wrestling and roaring at each other.




We had brunch at the Stratosphere and watched people jump from 850 feet above the city.



The Shark Aquarium was interesting. I kissed a Komodo Dragon! and saw the Dolphin pool.



The rest of our time we spent at the pool. We missed our little boys too much! I think they missed us too.
