I can't believe she is that old!!!

The most special thing that has happened to us recently, has to be Allison getting baptized. This was such a special day. She had so many people come that love her, even her grandparents from Nevada were able to come. Allie is such a special girl. She always tries so hard to do what is right. I am so grateful to have her in our family. She teaches me something everyday.

I must say, that she looked so beautiful in her special dress.

Fun with Family!!

Recently my brother Scott came to visit with his family. We had a great time. My favorite was the beach, it was so warm and beautiful!!! I wish the coast was like that everyday.

We always love going to Silver Creek Falls, and hiking around. We seem to make a trip at least once a year. The kids love going behind the waterfall.

I think the kids favorite was the Super Bowl party, complete with chocolate fountain. They were in Heaven!!! Cousins are so fun, we just wish they lived closer.

Arn't kids Amazing!

It never fails, if I am having a bad or grumpy day, my kiddos do something to make me laugh! This was one of those days. Allie decided to make her own pirate outfit. Even a pipecleaner eye patch, and a hanger hook for a hand. I could not stop laughing! I sure do love my girls!

Finally Relaxation!!!

Life has been so crazy lately, we just had to get away. We decided to get a condo at Seaside for a few days. It was so nice to play on the beach, swim, be together, and mostly just relax. I love having no computer, no phone, no responsibilty! It didn't hurt that the weather was gorgeous!

My Sweet girls!!!

I woke up to breakfast in bed. They worked so hard find something good and tasty!!!!

Last hurrah before school!!

I sure was not ready for school to start this year. We were having way too much fun. I don't like to be so scheduled. We decided we needed to do at least one more thing. We wend to Oaks Amusement Park. It was busy, but so much fun. The girls loved it. It always makes me happy to watch them have fun! I sure do love my girls!

Camping Again !?!

This is probably our last camping trip of the year. This time we went to Fort Stevens. It was beautiful weather. It was warm enough for the girls to wear swimming suits, which is pretty amazing on the Oregon coast. Katie LOVED the sand, it was EVERYWHERE!! Trying to shower her off in the campground shower proved to be a bit of a challange, but she did love getting dirty.
