Happy Halloween!
These are our pumpkins they were tons of fun to do. We carved them the Saturday before Halloween.

This pumpkin is mine. I always do the cute ones and Josh always does the scary carving.

This is Josh's pumpkin. His is called the evil twins. It is pretty scary isn't it? Well, I think so even if you don't!

So these are our costumes. Beca is Little Red Riding Hood, I am the Grandmother, and Josh is the woodsman that saves grandma. We thought that would be better then the big bad wolf and it was an easier costume to make.

The Party was fun because no one new who I was. One of my primary kids asked Josh were I was and I was standing pretty close to Josh when he asked. He was pretty surprised when I said " I am right here!"

Josh and I had a booth that we did for the kid and the adults. It was called Donuts on a String. You had to race and eat the donuts before the other person did! I won!!!

After the Party we took Beca trick or treating for the first time. She did really good until she got candy in her bucket then she just wanted the candy. She also realized that people would give her candy so she just started holding her hand out and not saying anything. She started out saying the words trick or treat. It is so cute!!

Well we hope that you all had a safe and wonderful Halloween!
Bye Bye

Watch what she can do!

Beca has a new favorite toy! it is her baby. She feeds it, puts it to bed, gives a bottle and well you will just have to see...

Having fun in the SUN!

We wee just having fun in the sun. I know it is sunny in Portland can you believe it.
Beca loves her pool that she got for her birthday. With or without water in it.

Isn't she so cute. You can't tell it from these pictures but she loves to have those blow up rings on her head.

She is so cute. She is a poser just like her daddy!!

We went camping!!!

We got to camping over the Memorial day weekend. We went to Devils Lake State Park. It was so much fun. We were lazy and enjoyed every minute of it!

This was our cute little camping area. It was a lot bigger then it looks in this picture.

This was our tent. At first we didn't have a air mattress but after the 1st night we went and got one. we slept a 100 times better then next night. We are all about them know.

This was the lake that we camped by. It was really pretty. We think the reason that the lake was called devils lake is because it looks like a devils staff.

It was fun to have a camp fire...

except for the smoke! But luckily it fallowed around Adrianna.

This is Beca and Charleen eating breakfast. They had so much fun together eating and playing.

Josh and Beca around the campsite and just enjoying each other. We were able to talk and just relax.
Here we were just sitting and waiting to eat. We had a canopy that you could zip shut and we avoided the mosquitoes.
Here is are family picture for Christmas Cards.
Here is Josh crossing one eye only.

Look at that magnification of those lenses.
We were on our hike and this tree that was cut down was as big as Josh standing. So the diameter would be around 6 feet.


Here is a little bridge over a creek and the path was covered by shade most of the way. We enjoyed our new purchase of a hiking bag.
This bridge was like 100 ft above the river and we were able to cross safetly. It was fun to get the bridge swinging by shifting our weight left and right and the people on the other side could really feel the movement.
Same bridge.
Here Josh is climbing out of the tree trunk that fell over. Beca and him have the same impression.
Almost out!!!
Here we were by the river bottom and we were having somuch fun. Even Beca was smiling away.
Here is the river bottom. In the back you can see the waterfall emptying into the river.
Here the 6 of us chilling by the river.
This picture is from the bridge and it was really pretty there.

Beca has a new tricks!

Beca has decided that climbing things is so much fun.

She loves the dishwasher so much and then she found out that she can climb on it while mommy has her back turned.

She is getting so fast i can hardly keep up with her, but i love that part about her always on the go!

Some fun pictures of the family!

I got a new camera for my B-day, so I was taking tons of picture. I thought i would show off my cute family. Well at least some of them. I couldn't put all of my cute family on there the blog would be a mile long.

She was eating her birthday cupcake in this picture.

These two were so cute together. We found them cuddling together on the bed just as they are here.

but once i got the picture that were on the move!

Mandy and Caden

He is so cute! Beca really liked Caden. He was so nice to her.

The best of friends!
Jace and Jordan

Beca loved this bucket. She would carry it around everywhere.

Josh taught her that she could have a hat as well as a bucket.
I love this picture!

Jared and Beca had fun reading books. It was an animal book so they were making fun noises.
Beca can make the dog and cow sound it's so cute.

They were having so much fun!

I thought that this was a cute picture.
