Tillmook Cheese Factory. Look at all that cheese!

Shelby and Drew so excited for Ice Cream

Kyle double fisting the ice cream. I had lemon, blueberry, pie, WOW AMAZING!


I love this picture but I can't get it to rotate. Drew had gotten this headband and Tav wanted to wear it. It was so cute.

Any of you who know me and traveling wouldn't expect anything else than me fast asleep! (Wow how many chins do I have!)
Jax sound asleep on his DS as a pillow. You can tell he played hard!

More Vacation Fun!

We will start with this one because look how sweet and innocent he looks! Wow he has everyone fooled. This is at the Rose Gardens.

So Friday the girls went shopping at this outdoor mall that was really fun, and the boys went to movie. They went to Ice Age 3 and I think Uncle Farris and Kyle liked it just as much if not more than the boys. Then we went to another mall that had the Cheesecake Factory. We shopped a little while we waited for a table. This is the boys in the sports store running the track.



Tavin having fun with stickers

Aunt Liz and Jaxon at the outside mall.

Uncle Farris and Aunt Liz looking great. We had such a blast with them.Kyle and I at the Rose Gardens.
Could I be any happier to be there~~

Brothers will be brothers! More Friday at these amazing Rose Gardens. It was beautiful.


Family in the fountains. The boys were putting their heads in and ready for little swim.

Jaxon took this picture of Arianne. She was so good with the boys. The whole family was incredible with the little rascals. We love them all so much.



Jaxon and Mommy. We are having too much fun!
Kyle and Tav.
Kyle crashing Wake boarding. He got so good, he was going across the wakes and back. It was HOT HOT!!
Look how good he looks. So comfortable up there. It was awesome.

This is Kyle and I watching our little boy Jaxon knee boarding. I was so scared at first but Uncle Farris and Aunt Liz talked about Drew and how he was 6 when he started. Jax was hooked. Our cousin Amy was so patient with him in the water teaching him how to do it. Once he got it he was on fire and didn't want to stop. It was so fun.
Great Pic. of the Knee Boarder!! Oh so Happy!

This is Shelby Wake Boarding, That is right Kyle and I are wake boarders. After a long time trying to get up we got it and LOVED it. The Owens Family was so patient with us. We loved it.
My best little guys on the tube. Tavin talked the whole time. It was so sweet. He thought he was so big. Jax just didn't want to fall off. Arianne and I had gone before and had fallen a few times so Jaxon didn't want to go with me at first. Overall it worked out great and they had a blast.

Tavin so tired from all the fun. It was so beautiful there. The water and scenery around us was surreal.
Jaxon and his new best friend Drew. Jax loved Drew so much and Drew was so good with him too.
Tavin and Aunt Liz. They are so sweet

Multomah Falls

At the end of our trip when we were heading home to Idaho, we stopped at these amazing Multomah Falls that were right off the freeway. It was breath taking. The boys wanted to go swimming in them.


My CUTE CUTE Boys. They were so sad to be leaving.

You could climb about a mile up to stand on that bridge. WOW is all I can say.

Swim Fun!

This is Hillary Merkley aka Aunt Hillary to the boys. She is such a good friend and we met up with her to have some fun pool time. Jaxon picked her every time to go down a slide, go eat Watermelon, you name it she was his favorite person. Thanks Hil, for a great time. You might wonder why we don't have any pictures of Tav. well 1st he was never above water for long enough to get a good shot but he was too busy going down the big slides. He wants to be as big as his brother and would have gone down any and all slides if he was tall enough. There were these black hole slides that Hillary and I were scared to go down and he loved them. When we would get to the bottom he would say "More." It was hilarious.
Jax. going down one of the many steep slides and never even being afraid. He had a blast.
Jaxon my super star swimmer. He loves to swim and does so good.
Hillary and I so happy to be together.

Flag Football Season!!

Wow, another season down and it was such a blast! Kyle was one of the coaches and even with a few choice boys had a great time being apart of it. Jaxon's good friend Brevin played with him and his dad Bryson was the head coach. Kyle took defense. Adrianne (Bryson's wife) and I were laughing so hard at the beginning watching our little boys score touchdowns, get interceptions and were flag grabbing crazy boys. It was a great experience and we can't wait for next season.

Here is Jax and his number one supporter. Tav wanted to play all the time. If there were any available flags and jerseys you could count on Tav having one on. It was adorable. He loves his big brother so much and wants to do EVERYTHING he is doing!
The SHARKS (That is right, they chose their team name. I think Kyle and Bryson were a little shocked thinking they would have picked an NFL team or college, but nope Sharks we were.)

This is Jaxon and Brevin the MVP's of the team. They did so good. We were very proud of them and all their hard work. We were so sad to see it end.
