Happy Birthday

Disneyworld

We had a super blast at Disneyworld. It really is just the ultimate family vacation. Maya's favorites are eating candy while people watching and getting her face painted. Ender's favorites are the Rockin Roller coaster and Jedi academy/star wars ride. Lydia's was the Fairy gardens and topiary's at Epcot. Jared's was the Rockin Roller Coaster and the Tower of Terror.

May Turkey's

I took all of these pictures off my back deck. Don't you love the orange VW with the turkey so classic Oregon.

snakes belong in the wild

Maya, Graham, and Harrison went on a snake hunt and found the largest, fluffy snakes.

Word to your Mothers day

We went to my favorite greenhouses and bought flowers. Then had picnic burrito lunch at Hendricks park in Eugene.

Corvallis Fun Run

Ender is in Green shorts right in front.

Don't you feel so great after your family does a run.

Happy birthday

Have you ever tried to make something like this? Wow! It is a lot of work. Took me about 5 days. I am glad I did it because in my opinion it gives me a free pass for all the times I mess up as a mom. I can look at these pictures and find totally peace knowing that I always try my best. Happy birthday Maya I couldn't love you more!

It's raining Monkey's, Donkey's, and Horses's

After school today the kids thought it would be fun to put together another video for Hunter. Just in case you don't understand what they are saying...Gavin and Ender are the weather men Bob and Bobby in Oregon. Gretchy is Bobbette weather woman from New York and the animals have yet to be identified.

Good night moon, good night cow jumping over the moon, good night Hunter

Good night Hunter! From the Hale kids.

Happy Fall - It's finally here!

We had the most amazing leaves laying right outside our home this year. Had to take a few pictures of the kids to capture the "fall" moment before the leaves crumble away! Photography by Lydia Hale**
