Beach, Open House, Fair, 4-Wheeler.....

Another big post....
These are some pictures Marcie took at Rockaway Beach in OR since our camera batteries died. Thank you Marcie!



 These are a few pictures from Steven & Micaela's open house at my parent's the weekend after their wedding. Steph did all the decorations. It was so pretty and so fun to see old neighbors from when we were younger.




 I spent most the night keeping Grant away from the food! He loves grapes and watermelon a little too much.
 We were able to meet Micaela's family a few weeks before the wedding and Tyson latched onto her little brother Preston. Thankfully Preston was super cute with him and they had a lot of fun together in Portland and here.
 These are all the innocent by-standers in front of the hairspray/flour/orea/whip cream decorated car :)
 Aug. 29th was the kids' first day of school. Hallie- 5th, Janessa- 3rd, and Tyson- afternoon Kindergarten. They all have great teachers and are loving school.
 My friend's mom made Grant & Chloe Pebbles & Bam Bam costumes for Halloween. They got to go model them for her ward talent show. So cute.
 This was a frame we used at the open house so I took some pics of the kids in it. This one is priceless to me :)
 And a couple more while we were at it...Hallie doing a back flip...
 ...and Ty doing a trick. The only 2 that like their picture taken :)
 We went to the fair on Labor Day with some friends. We went early before the crowds, which we will do every year now! It was tons of fun.




 Since we have horses in our backyard now, the kids were way braver around the animals and really really wanted to take this one home.
One Saturday a few weeks ago we borrowed a couple 4-wheelers and went on a ride with some friends. Hallie did awesome on her dirt bike going up and down moutains. It was a great time. Janessa and I were laughing so hard our cheeks were hurting because I was such a horrible driver.
Afterwards we went fishing. Tyson has been with Andrew on scout camp outs but this was the girls' first time (and mine). They each caught a fish but this is the only pic of Janessa because she wouldn't go near it (my kind of girl)!
Well that leaves us caught up at least for a little while!
