The last 10 days, we have spent many hours in the car. But, it was all worth it. Get ready for lots of picts. Here is quick run-down of what we did:
Family Picts: I took my sisters' families picts and one of them took ours. They turned out pretty well.
Went to OMSI (science museum) and Chuck E. Cheese's the night before my sister's wedding. The kids loved it.

Attended Kelly and Casey's wedding. Welcome to the family, Casey.
Took a leisurely drive back to my parents house. We stopped at Multnoma falls. We hiked to the top of the falls.
Then we stopped at the fish hatchery to feed the fish and see Herman the sturgeon.
Spalding went back home on Sunday, he had to be back to work. The kids and I went to Washington and attended my Aunt's funeral. She passed away after a battle with cancer. We then spent the night at my cousin's house. Its always fun when I get together with Angie, even when its for a short while.We celebrated -N-'s 13th birthday! AHHH! I have a teenager. He was very excited about his presents,a ripstick and backpacking lantern. Hopefully he stays as mellow as he is now.



-N- and my dad went fishing. They loved it. They caught some big trout. The biggest was caught by my dad, a 17 inch, 3 lb. brook trout.

We went horse riding. Yep, that's me in a pair of boots and spurs. Sometimes Bud needs a little extra prodding.

Last were the wedding receptions. Lots of decorating. Lots of people and food. Everything turned out great.
We had a great visit and love spending time with cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandma and grandpa.

oooh! I love that family photo!!!
Looks like an awesome family vacation. Great job on putting it all together for us to read w/the pic's.
question: what is a ripstick?
and your sister looks a lot like you, except really tan!
I agree - the family pic turned out awesome! oh - and I can't believe N is 13, yet he looks like he could be so much older, too. Teenager in the house! aaagh! :)
Thanks for the updates ! I love reading about the kids..can't believe Nic is now a teenager ! I miss them lots ! Kelly is so beautiful. And seeing those pics of Oregon brought me years back when we were there in 2003 !
