Mt. Rushmore

Our trip to Mt. Rushmore back in July. We also went to Joshua's family reunion. It was a blast!

Can you name the Presidents? Marlo was the only one who got them all!:)

OMSI

The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. A great place for kids and adults as you can see. Similar to our explora just on a much grander scale. We spent the day. It is located right on the Williamette River and overlooks downtown Portland.

Pleasantville

Jenni's awesome new home. The neighborhood looks like a set off of the movie Pleasantville--perfectly manicured yards and homes. We had plenty of space in her 3 bed 3 bath house. Our stay was very comfortable. Thanks Auntie Jen.

Pre-Birthday

Aidan's pre-birthday celebration in Portland.

The Royal Gorge

Multnomah Falls was almost a 600 foot drop. The biggest waterfall we had viewed as of yet--I think.

A & R

Aidan and Robbie loved the beach. They ran and dug and ran some more.

Cannon Beach, OR

A day at the beach in the Pacific Northwest. It was refreshingly chilly and the waves and views were splendid.

Golfing in OR

Papa Doug and Joshua playing golf in Hillsboro, Oregon. This course was right behind Jenni's house. The clubhouse was unbelievable.

Fields of Tulips

We went to a tulip festival at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm. So much more amazing in person, the pics just don't cut it.

Aunti Jenni

This was our first day in Portland visiting Jenni. The flowers were amazing!!

A&E

Emery is blessed with such a caring and great big brother and we are blessed with two wonderful children. Emery likes to watch her big brother. Aidan likes to make her laugh. It is fun to watch them interact.

Christening Mimi

Emery in Mimi's Christening Dress. Mimi saved her christening dress-handmade by her Grandmother-and baby Em is wearing it!! BEAUTIFUL!!

Luna Trip

We went and visited Nanny & Papa in Luna, NM. Emery had her first rice cereal meal. She was very delectibly satisfied and messy after.

Grandma D

Em meets Grandma Dorothy. You can see where she gets some of her skin color on her Daddy's side of the family (Nanny on Mommy's side is olive complected as well). Maybe she won't sunburn very easily.

Grandpa Bubba

Emery meets Grandpa Bubba and again the doggies and her bro have to share!

Aunt Jenni

Emery meets Aunti Jenni. It was hard for the dogs and Brother to share. Jenni came to NM from her new home in Portland and stayed with us for 3 wonderful weeks. We had a great time and miss her now that she has gone back.:(

Crazy Aidan

Funny boy. He definitely keeps us laughing:)
