I completely lagg at the whole blog thing!!!

Welcome 2009!!! I figure twice a year posts is good enough right?

Just so you all know... I love reading your blogs and just because I don't keep up with mine doesn't mean I don't completely enjoy yours!!

Tommy is loving 1st grade at Sexton Mtn.

Lauren is finally at BCC, not in the coveted Mrs. Miller's class yet, but her time will come if all goes well next year... (they better put her in Sandy's class right??)

Rachel is 2 and just the light of my life, she amazes me daily! Her little personality is emerging more and more and she really has such a sweet heart. Such an understanding of right and wrong... let's hope that continues through!

Here are a few pictures of all we love to do...enjoy

July in Oregon

These are just a few of the photos from what has been a great summer for the kids and me. We are enjoying our lovely Oregon weather to it's fullest. We have spent many afternoons at the pool, we have gone to the zoo and enjoyed many of the local free activities for kids, as you see Tommy running with his backpack on. That was a relay race one saturday morning. I have also been keeping up with my running and just ran the Garlic Festival 10k in 1:03 it was a pretty hilly course but oh so pretty. My next run is Pints to Pasta then Race for the Cure. Tommy has really taken to running so I am finding any kid run I can for him! Hope you are all having such a nice summer for school will be here before we know it.

Utah Trip

What a great trip we had to Utah, we saw so many of our family members and played in the sun for many hours each day. The whole family worked so hard making sure there were plenty of activities for everyone. We are so very thankful to everyone for their help and hospitality.
