For Brian

This post is for Brian.  I think Ethat had a hold of the camera this day but Brian went riding.  He loves to ride his dirt bike and doesn't get to do it nearly enough.  He is selling this truck so it will be good to get these pictures in here for him to look at later in life!  He does like this truck.

Ethan showing me some of his tricks


In Brian's parent's neighborhood there is this hoop that can go really really low. It's so awesome for these guys.  They make dunking videos called "dunking masters". Pretty Sweeeeeet


Sun Bear at the Zoo....I always thought a "sun bear" was something my brother was in high school til I saw this thing

Couger.  Pretty Large.


Cute Jace

Love my Daddy!

This bucket is great entertainment in hot weather!  Don't worry we watch him carefully. I am well aware of the drowning hazard here.

March

We hiked Smith Rock and here is the only picture I guess!  Lame.  At least we got these two cute guys.

Here are some pictures that I found on my camera...Looks like Tyler was bored one day.  Jace was crawling at this point, about nine months old and a little naked.

That's a great stance don't you think??

He says yes, and oooohhh



The goof who took the naked pics.

February

Ok so we have lived here 7 years and never really had many deer make their way through our back yard.  This winter however, it happened a lot!  We have this field behind our house which is so fun, makes us feel like we own a bunch of land : )  The kids can go back there and play and explore....and dig.  They love to dig holes out there.  ANYHOO here are the pics of all the deer that we saw one day.  So cool for us.  They have been in our direct backyard even. 




February

In February Paige and Patrick came up to stay at a house in Sisters and we fished in the pond.   Such a fun day!

Kick Buttowski Car...Wasn't the fastest but wasn't the slowest either.  Next year we get to do two!  Or I should say Brian gets to!

Pictures of Mom

love this one from Cathryn and John's wedding.  Jace the little man.

8 yrs old



Wow, 4 kids will keep you from blogging!  I had to dig these pictures out for a project I did for church...thought they might be fun to share and have for my kids to see for sure.  I need to dig out Brian's now.  We just celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary.  Wow!  Still madly in love...right?  Yes, just tired : )  Kids and work and life is busy that's for sure.  We definitely need to go on another cruise or something though soon!
