Go Ducks!

Kelden got a new Duck jersey for his birthday so now he can match his big brother. Oh course Miss Peanut had to join in...she loves to be one of the boys!

Kelden & Ayla's Birthday Party!

We celebrated Kelden's 4th birthday and Ayla's 2nd birthday this last Saturday. We had it at the park and the kids had a lot of fun!

Water Fun!

Here are the kids at a fun little park we have here in Jacksonville. We spend a afternoon their last week with some friends of ours...it was so hot that day! They all had a lot of fun playing in the water. The second picture is Peanut and her best friend Dawson...they do everything together!

Vacation to the Redwoods!

After getting back from California I had a 2 weeks to get ready to leave again for a week long camping trip. We went to the "Redwoods" (in betwwen Brookings and Cresent City) We spent a couple days at the beach, went to the Kite Festival in Brookings, went to the Trees of Mystery, and did a lot of fun stuff around camp. We went with some of our family...there were 16 adults and 20 kids, we were definately out numbered. We had a good time...although it was a little too cold for my likings!

4th of July in California...

We left Disneyland on the 4th of July and went back to "Banryland" to celebrate the fourth.

"Banryland"

Garrett in the pool, Ayla on Natey's quad, Natey and Kelden on the quad, and Maryn & Taryn by the pool. The kids had so much fun at "Banryland" AKA Uncle Poke and Aunt Alli's house!

California Adventures...

Everyone was so happy with me when I told them I needed a picture of each person in one of the letters of "CALIFORNIA" for a scrapbook page. Here's the fam. in the "C"...I won't post them all!

Hangin at Disneyland!

We did a character dinner at "Goofy's Kitchen", where we got to see and get lots of character autographs. Although Kelden refused to get his picture taken with any. He stayed behind Grandma and Grandpa and cracked jokes the whole time. They thought he was funny!

On Our Way!

Peanut, Garrett, and Kelden are in the van and ready to go to Disneyland! We drove down to California and stayed a few days at my step-brother's house and then went to Disneyland for 3 days. The kids were so excited to go. This was Kelden and Ayla's first time there.

Cousins

We love our cousins and wish we could see them more often! Mckenzie and Taryn and Caitlyn and Ayla. Kenzie and Caitlyn are my brother Jake's kids and they live in Portland.

Hellgate Jetboat Excursion
