It's about Time!

More about this later. However, to sum it up. It was about time! Craigslist and I found some pretty sweet deals. This is what we do on date night now. Both Eric and I love it!

Florida

Here are some pictures from our Florida Trip. We had a great time swimming in the pool, going to the beach, floating down the river, playing at Sea World and eating way too many donuts!

Here the kids on the way there. They were pretty good. No major meltdowns. It was just nice that I had Eric there to help me with them. It was a long day!

Here is cousin Caleb showing us his stuff. He is Tara's age.

This is Joshua, Caleb's little brother. He loves to cook. I am sure he is still mentioning cooking with Honor in the kitchen. He loved to help out and Honor loved his help.

Speaking of Honor, here she is. She pulled off an amazing reunion! Thank you Honor. I had a wonderful time! You are a great host.

This is my nephew Braden. He is a fun and smart one with a lot of spunk. Miss ya Braden. Can't wait to see how tall you get in the next few years!

This is Grace, dumping water on her head. She is really cute. I wish I had some other pictures of her for you, but I don't.

You should all know this guy. He is the man.

Here we are at Sea World. Shamu Rocks was the name of the program. Tara and Morgan really enjoyed it!

A most impressive Walrus. He was huge

My baby was hot, so we stripped him down.

A very happy Alex to be sitting with his Grandma.

Some pictures of the dolphins.

Nice Morgan, really nice.

Happy Birthday Tara

Tara is 6 now, it is crazy. My little girl is growing up. It seems like only yesterday that she was born. Now she is going into 1st Grade! Wow. Here are some pictures from the past and pictures from her birthday. Love you Tara

Silver Falls State Park- 7 Years!!!

Two cute boys, I brought Alex in to wake up Morgan. Aren't they cute!

Happy Anniversary to Eric and I. Seven years and going strong. This year we decided to make the day special by going on a hike. We headed up to Silver Falls State Park. We went on a hike where we passed some 7 different waterfalls. We didn't have time to do the full hike or we would have passed more. Our good friends watch the older stinkers and we took the littlest stinker for a ride. Grandma will be happy to see some pictures of Alex, so here the smiling boy and our beautiful day!


As we were driving on our way to Silver Falls, we saw these beautiful colors up ahead. Fields of flowers. I love this place.

Look how bright red that is.

This one is my favorite!

I thought this looked like a fun place to slide down. You would need some extra padding on your butt to avoid chaffing :o)

This one was called double falls, if you look carefully you can see the upper falls. I would love to see this in the spring, when the water is running higher.

Look how beautiful this trail is. Nothing greater than a quiet day, hiking and enjoying nature with my husband.

As Eric said, "Jen, you have berry eyes." This is the only berry I found. I shared a bit with Eric, even though he was reluctant to try it. I loved picking these berries in Waterton!

Anyone know what this spit looking stuff is? I saw it all over. I also loved seeing this water droplet.

Alex was so happy to be out and about. He just looked around and watched the tree's. He really enjoyed going on the hike. Thanks Eric for being the man and carrying him.

What's for dinner, Alex? Nooo, he just looked really cute sitting in the crockpot!
