Happenings since last July

The girls and their families visited us in Portland this summer and we went to the beach at Devil's Elbow near Florence.

There must have been a big wave coming in!

When Scott got stranded, Spencer came to the rescue and carried him across the river.

Corbin and Mason are awestruck at the starfish and sea creatures at low tide.

Brent, Nina, Kim and Boston at Haceta Head Lighthouse, over looking the ocean.

Spencer and Kali wait for us on the trail from Haceda Head.

Scott, Dev, Corbin and Mason.

Boston's first time at the ocean. He couldn't resist getting in the water, shoes and all.

Boston fell asleep on Grandpa Brent's shoulders. Notice the drool being absorbed by an unsuspecting Grandpa. (click on picture to see larger)

Nina went to visit in Utah for Christmas. Corbin got a set of headphones and is sporting a zipper tie he got. He's all ready for our trip to the grocery store.

Boston loved the race car track Corbin got for Christmas.

Boston's on lead vocals.

Boston's smile is infectious.

Sleepover at Boston's

Scrub-a-dub-dub, cousin's in the tub.

We had a sleepover at Kim's house and decorated a gingerbread house. It looked good enough to eat (which we did later).

Final results of the gingerbread house.

We went sledding at Falcon Crest Park the day after Christmas.

Look, no hands Corbin!

The gang, Nina, Devani, Mason, Brett, Kim, Boston, and Corbin.

Mason was not a fan of the cold and snow.

History making storms hit Portland the week before Christmas, 2008.

We never get this much snow. It was fun at first, but got kind of old after 10 days or so.

No one went anywhere unless they absolutely had too. Most businesses closed. Even Cliff got stuck with his 4-wheel drive truck on our street.

Naila helped soften the blow of being an empty nester.

Naila loved playing in the snow. She'd be a good dog for Utah:)



How can you resist those puppy dog eyes. Naila is 9 months old here.

Naila finds Spencer and Kali intoxicating:)

Goodbye to everyone for now. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's to all.
