JUST JEEPIN AROUND!

The kids got their first vehicle! A Jeep! Thanks M- they love it! There is a bit of a funny story behind getting this Jeep! My friend offered it to us, as her kids had out grown it. The two of us try to cram it into my husbands Ford Taurus, that in it self was hilarious. To say the least that didn't work! It wasn't till our family took a second trip up North a few weeks later that the story really turns nutty. My friend tells me that they are going to be out of town, so she gives me the garage code to enter and get the Jeep. Our family had a late night and where passing by her area so we decided to swing up to get the Jeep instead of doubling back in the morning. We arrive to a very dark house so we press in the code and the garage opens. Low and behold, there sat the family SUV. They where home! Oops! Scott and I went into stealth mode and transferred the Jeep to our mini-van as fast as we could and took off like a couple of thieves in the night. The scene was hilarious to me, as I looked back at my sleeping kids with a stolen Jeep in the back and my husband burning rubber in a mini-van. I thought the police lights would soon be behind us. M-sorry if we scared you guys! The kids are having a blast in their new Jeep... Thanks so much!

A LONGING FOR HOME!

I love living in Oregon, don't get me wrong, there are just some days when "There is no place like home!"

SO MUCH TO DISCOVER

Mama and Luke had a date yesterday. We finally made our way to a great childrens discovery world called Gilbert House. My little man loved every minute of his hands on freedom to play with new gigets and gadgets and sites to see, things to climb and sounds to hear.

LOVE LIVING BY THE RAILWAY!

Seams that most places we've moved, we've been blessed by the sound of the railway. In Kentucky it was a bit to close. Here it is just right, when you lay in bed at night you can listen as the strong engines pass by, giving warning at each crossing.

CONGRATULATIONS ERIN AND ANDY!

THERE ONCE WAS A GIRL

There once was a girl with a little tiny curl, right in the middle of her forehead. When she was good , she was very, very good but when she was bad she was....

WILL SHE EVER PUT THE CAMERA DOWN?

My husband, my best friend. The supporter of my aspirations and dreams. The greatest daddy ever. The most patient and loving man I know. My partner in life and legacy. I love this man with all my heart, even when he gives me looks like this! Honestly, Scott is just about as into this camera thing as I am, so don't let his expression fool you. He is a shutter bug too and is one of my biggest supporters. I love you, Hun! So to answer the questions your eye's propose... the answer is NO!

THE JOY OF BEING 6 AND 2!

This picture of Luke captures his 2 year old determined spirit to figure things out in life. Here he is trying to master daddy's rubix cube! Absolutly love the lifted eyebrow! And lets not forget the playfulness of 6 year old Sis...it's all about style, fashion and matching these days! May you never loose the child within you!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

New Years Day we went on a hunt for snow to welcome in 2008! Luke and Makayla had a blast and the kid in mom and dad came out to play too. Happy New Year Everyone!
