2nd Summer Field Trip

The second field trip of the summer was to the Oregon zoo. The girls love going to the zoo.Since I was able to go - ashlyn was also able to go. Gramma even was able to go and help out. They had a BLAST - here are some pictures .... Jenna, Ashlyn & Ezra in the eagle nest

Kenna, Ashlyn & Grace "petting" the hissing cocaroach - GROSS!!!

sWiMmInG!!!

I know this is hard for most of you to believe - but my girls (Sue's grandchildren) do not know how to swim yet! SHOCK!!! OK so give me a break - we live in Oregon where it rains a ton and there are not swimming pools in the back yard here like at home in California. If we want to go swimming, we go to the pools at the community centers. The girls have swim lessons twice a week for a half an hour. They LOVE it and are getting braver & braver with each lesson. I think I better hurry up and sign them up for lessons in August before all the classes are full. This first picture is Ashlyn with her instructor Jordan.

1st Summer Field Trip

This is the first of many field trips for Kenna this summer. If I am able to go along on the field trips - then Ashlyn can come also. The first field trip was to Build A Bear. The girls each got to pick out their own animal. Kenna picked a Hello Kitty doll and named it Hello Kitty (very original) and Ashlyn picked a white dog with red & blue stars and named it Star-Berts!

hApPy FaThEr'S dAy!!!

Happy Father's Day to the BEST Daddy, Dad, Grampa, & Grampy in the whole wide world!! We love you all the way to Pluto & back!! xoxo

New Photos of Kenna

Here are a couple new pictures of Kenna taken by Miss Kamina. This first one reminds me of something you might see in The Shining - I really like it is a creepy sort of way! Check out Miss Kamina flickr site for a bunch of really cool photos!!

Auntie Julie & Ethan came for a visit and we went to the Oregon Zoo for the day. Uncle Steve & Walt also came along. Take a look at the pictures - we had a really good time watching the animals, playing in the petting zoo & going through the gorilla maze!! Check out the new gorillas at the Oregon Zoo!!

Field Day!!

So I am using photos that I have uploaded from my Blackberry for the first time. they are not the greatest - but I wasn't plaanning on going to Kenna's field day today and so I wasn't prepared. I did not have my camera with me. What is field day you ask? It is the last day of school and all the fifth graders put on a day of fun out on the field at school. They played vollyball with beach balls, had a ginormous parachute, water games, potato sac races and soccer through the cones relays. All the kids has a BLAST! Here are a few photos that I took.
