Oregon Trip

In the beginning of June we went caravaning with Nate's family: Mom and Dad, David and Acacia and kid, Liz and kids and D.J. up to Oregon to visit his sister Sarah and invade her new house/yard!


Here's Sarah with 3 out of 4 kids, (one you can't actually see because she's in her belly!) cute toe head kids, Ethan and Sylvia.


Here's our tent in her front yard on the top of a mountainside, seriously! She has the steepest driveway I've ever seen, and the coolest backyard the boys had been in! They loved catching tadpoles in her pond, and I think Nate did too.



Grandma and Grandpa Great Tanner joined the trip a bit later, here's 2 of our group shots, a happy and a realistic shot!



We left the group for a couple nights and found a campsite near the beach. The whole group met up with us there later and we had a very fun, cold-ish beach day that ended with lots of seafood eating, some good and some not so good, sorry Paul!



One of D.J.'s many discoveries, a purple starfish eating a clam, gross and cool at the same time! Cute boys walking in the beach!



We stopped at Glacer Lake, very cool and very cold! Had lunch in the top of the gift shop were the boys made a new friend, then started on the very, very long drive home! We miss Sarah, but it's nice to be back home.

Spring 2010

Yeah, finally a new post! I'm going to flash through spring so I can get to our fun and crazy summer. At least that's the plan, we'll see...


At the beginning of April Neil turned 3 and got big boy underwear, which is still a work in progress! Cody made him a hat, inspired by an episode of Curious George, any other C.G. aficionados may recognize this hat?!


In May we had a baby shower for Brittney, who's due exactly 2 weeks after me. It was too bad Sarah couldn't drive out from Oregon, (or was she still in Cali at this time?) for the shower for a triple baby belly shot, she's due about 2 1/2 weeks before me! JoAnn's been in baby blanket making overload! Acacia made beautiful decorations and cupcakes and Liz did some fun shower games, we had a great time!


Nate and I went on a fun long weekend- spring vacation- Mother's day- get out of the long winter cold trip to Las Vegas with our fun neighbors! We stayed off the strip just below the red rock canyon, this is a hike we took one morning in the canyon, it was fun and beautiful! Big thanks to my sister Kim for watching our boys the whole time so we could go!

One last picture I had to add of another hat/creation made by Cody inspired by the cardboard ring that comes around the package of Costco grapes. Yes that pen is dangling from the hat by a string, because you'll never know when you need a pen, or a fuzzy propeller.
