Safety First

Safety first visiting daddy at work!

4th of July2013

The day started out with our traditional Harrisburg parade with the Reese family and massive amounts of candy. From there we headed up to Aunt Tia's house for BBQ, guns, tractor rides with Uncle Pat and of course sparkler fun!

Beach Day!

I It was a quick trip to the beach and the boys first time in the Oregon ocean. It's not the Caymans but the boys had fun none the less.

5 Year Pics

The boys are 5 years old now and you know what that means....yep another trip to the Picture People!

Champoeg State Park 2013

Nothing spells wilderness like stamped concrete pads and bounce houses. (Yes James really did bring the bounce castle camping with us :)This was our first time camping at Champoeg State park and we had a great time. We got several hikes/bike rides in the Forrester and Currey families. Mason sported his new motorcycle riding boots most of the weekend. They looked particularly sharp with his shorts while riding his bicycle. Of course we made s'mores our own unique way by cleaning out the cupboard....peeps, chocolate Easter bunnies and graham crackers. Good friends, good weather, good wine :)

4 yr Old Flag Football

The boys had a ton of fun playing flag football this year and I liked that at this age they didn't actually play games it was more like once a week clinics. They got to run around every Monday ripping flags off each other. There was a bit of confusion the very first day out when the coach yelled go and ten kids (nine boys and one girl :) all tackled each other and ended up in one giant pile! The coach started yelling no, no this is NOT the kind of football you see on TV there is NO tackling! It was pretty comical.

5th Birthday Party

Another year has passed and this year the boys chose to have a Batman themed birthday party. We talked my dad into smoking the meat for us again for pulled pork sandwiches and it turned out just as amazing as last year. We were blessed to have perfect weather and got to enjoy the outdoor kitchen that James has been working so hard on. We had way too much food, the boys got way too many presents but they had soooo much fun running all over the yard playing with cousins and friends.
