Go Ducks!

Go Ducks!

Compared to last year's Civil War, Makenna is now a full blown little girl. This photo doesn't do her pompom piggy tails justice, but she has thoroughly enjoyed the football season. Like her sports fanatic brother, she actually watches the game...giving Mom a chance to work on other projects...

Hopefully we'll have a video for you by the championship game...

Thanksgiving Pics

We spent a relaxing Thanksgiving at my parents place in Days Creek. We had fun hanging out and playing lots. The kids love being at Grandma's and Papa's, and being in the country. Kieran loves going to the barn at the school to feed the pigs, and Makenna was excited to have a whole gymnasium full of balls to play with. We also went up to snow level to get our Christmas tree, which is now providing a warm glow in our home. Thanksgiving already feels like a long time ago, and it's only two weeks until Christmas...

Happy Halloween!

My camera has been broken for several months now, and it's been killing me to not be able to take pics of the kiddos and all our special moments. We went out to for a hay ride at the Pumpkin Patch today, and I kept lamenting not having a camera with us. Thankfully my Mom visited last weekend and brought us some nice big pumpkins and took a few pics.

Kieran just went to bed, ODed on candy, but loved trick or treating in his sparkly red cape for the second year in a row (he was a monkey at school on Friday, but was disappointed that his tail didn't stick upright!) Makenna's teething so she was in bed at dusk. There's always next year...

Tillicum Beach Camping Trip

Tillicum Beach is our very favorite beach spot, and this Labor Day we lucked out with some amazing weather! We made and destroyed sand castles for hours. My parents visited for the day, and it was a great way to end the summer.

8 year anniversary camping trip!

We celebrated eight years of marriage on a beautiful camping trip in Southern Oregon. Highlights included swimming in Crater Lake, hiking to the headwaters of the Rogue, and cooking camp dinners for two!

Takhlakh Lake Trip

My camera started to go on the fritz here, but hopefully you'll get an idea of the fun time our family had at one of our favorite places. I didn't get a shot of Mt Adams, but we got an amazing view our first afternoon.

Oregon Country Fair

We had an magical time at the Oregon Country Fair (while Kev was backpacking in the Wallowas...sorry, no pictures from his trip).
