Merry Christmas!

Ender and Maya loved their sleeping bags from Santa!





Thank you Santa!

This is our flocked tree that we've wanted to do for years and now we've finally done it!

Fun with snow

Ender wanted to pose with a snow trooper

Maya and her snow pal Frosty

Fun with leaves

Ender had so much fun jumping in the leaves...soon he was jumping from all sorts of things!


Maya premeditating her jump! Maybe her glasses make it look further down?


Enjoying every minute of it :)

Just a few recent memories...

Lone Pine Farm -our favorite pumpkin patch place

Centered here is our pumpkin weighing about 79 lbs

Corvallis Fire Department Open House, Maya couldn't get enough of Sparky -she barked the whole time at him hoping he'd bark back

We have so many pictures to post but our computer has been working for months :( Life without blogging has been a real downer for us. We enjoy catching up when we can and posting as much as possible. We're hoping to get something up and going soon here...but for now, it's sporadic posting! Thanks for checking in-

Summer time

This summer is quickly passing us by. We've had so many interesting adventures, and tons of photos we still need to upload to share! We've had camping adventures, beach adventures, a trip to Vegas with adults with disabilities, Coached Tee Ball, BBQ's, and much more. Lydia has taken on "Picnic in the Park Adventures" which are organized events once a week for women and children to get together and do something unique and fun. Just a couple of weeks ago, they went to the Alpaca (like Lama's) farm in Philomath where they had a guided tour, picnic, and gift bags for the kids.

Any way, look for an update with photo's soon here.

GEO STAMPING

So the Adventure begins...looking for a hidden box in Avery Park. Aaron and Cami invited us to go Geo Stamping with their family. We used directions found on the Internet for our hunt. The kids had so much fun...mostly just poking sticks at each other seeing who could bleed the most.

Raise your hands if you want to go Geo Stamping?

Not me...just stretching

Jump from a tree if you want to go Geo Stamping!

1, 2, 3!


Getting closer...

and closer...

This is the tree stump we had to search around...Gretchi finally found it, thought it was gross so handed it to Ender.

The hidden box contained a book and a stamp. The idea is you stamp the book inside with your stamp and date, then use the stamp in the box to stamp your book. Thanks Aaron and Cami for the fun activity!

Some of us drifted off on our own little adventures....

Indiana Jones Camping Party

So the Adventure begins.....

First he makes camp as night falls in preparation for the next days journey. He has little food and water so he must rely on his survival skills to camp through the night.


Tree climbing...


Adventure in the wilderness...

Surviving in the desert...


Keeping an eye out for the bad guys...


Watching out for poisonous darts in food...


Avoiding bolder in the nick of time...


Gearing up...


Being captured by the spirit of fire...



Don't look into the fire...


Or you will surely loose your head!


Happy Birthday to our little Indiana -shoot for the moon
