Ringing in the New Year

Kids having a great time....

Adults having a great time...

What a great way to ring in the new year....In Bend with the best friends we could have. It was a long slow adventure getting there, especially with Owen wearing big boy undies now. We made yellow snow 3 times! Everyone had a blast. Welcome 2011, we are ready for YOU!

Friday Night Lights

We met Sally Kyle, Max and Vivian (the neighbors) at Battle Ground High School last night for some football. The kids had a blast. This was Claire's first game, at least that she remembered, she was as little as Vivian last year. They seemed to know what they were doing, when the crowd clapped they clapped when the crowd ooh'd and aah'd they did too. The best part was the band, the kids danced like crazy! We ate popcorn that I made at home cuz I'm cheep, and just had a great time! Owen wanted to tell Great Grandma Jean thanks too because he used part of his Birthday money to go to the game! On our way out Owen spotted the fire truck, so of course I snapped a few shots, sorry they aren't the best. He was pretty excited!
"Look at this big wheel mama"

Jack Johnson

Matt, Nicole, Brad and I went to the Jack Johnson concert Sunday night. It was awesome! We left the house around 4:00pm had dinner out and then headed to the concert. It was nice to be together without our babies for an evening. A big thank you to my parents and sister Molly for watching all the kiddos.

The Smith's Visit - Concrete Project - Cute Babies

We poured a sidewalk and front porch/patio this weekend. Many thanks to Matt, Dan, Sean, and Uncle Ricky. Everything looks great! The kids had so much fun watching the activities. The best part was when the mix truck driver would drive the truck forward from the back controls. They thought that was pretty unbelievable!

Here is where the cute kid pictures start....

The Smith's stayed the weekend and we all had a blast. The kids couldn't have done any better. The girls had a slumber party in Claire's room and the boys slept in Owen's room. They all got along so good and played till the crashed every day! It is so much fun seeing them together.
