ENCHANTED FOREST

After a full 2 days of baseball, we decided to take our day off and so something fun! I have lived in Oregon almost all of my life. I always wanted to go to Enchanted Forest when I was a kid but we never went. So yesterday, we loaded the boys up and the 5 of us went. We had a great time. I don't think it is a place we would go very often but we had a great time :)
Here are a few pics!

TULIPS...

WOW! I am giddy.... I got the chance to go to the tulip festival this morning. First of all, it is a fabulous day here in Oregon. We are going to hit over 80 degrees today with NO RAIN! Second, the tulips are in full bloom and were absolutely GORGEOUS! I got to go with my friend Paige and we had a blast snapping pictures together!!! Here are just a few..... (I think we took about 200 total between us!)

SPRING 2009 PHOTO RECAP

Wow - I am thinking that I am doing pretty bad with this blogging thing! Maybe its because I have 3 boys, a husband, a dog & cat, baseball 4 times a week, drum lessons, a 3 YEAR OLD, school field trips, homework, science fair, book clubs, birthday parties, the list goes on and on....

oh yeah and I have a scrapbook business! Which helps me keep my sanity and keeps me scrapbooking.

So to catch you up on the past few months, here are a lot of photos - its my kind of catchup!!

Valentine's Day 2009 - Lobster Time! First Sign of Spring - Love how Oscar had to check it out with Ezra

Andrew and Kayla Dennis's 70th Birthday Party

Good Friends :) We don't take pictures too much together since we are always the ones taking them !

St. Patrick's Day 2009

Spring break was great this year! We put Andrew in a ski camp with his uncle Eddie. He loved riding the bus and getting the lessons. He learned how to ski and loves it! His dad took him back at the end of the week with Cameron. They all did awesome! We also went to Eugene, ChuckECheese, movies an

Easter 2009

Easter Egg Hunt 2009

This is a rare occasion, the cat and dog sitting still long enough for a photo....this is what it normally looks like - Oscar running crazy around Buster!

HI THERE 2009!!

Wow - I am SOOOO far behind? How do I catch up??

Life has been rolling by at a fast pace as usual. Between basketball, drum lessons, kits, school, homework, and so much more - I am lucky if I even take pictures!

I can't believe I never even blogged about all that snow we got in December!!! How crazy!
Here are a bunch of pictures to catch up with our family :)

We will start with the snow. The boys missed the week before their Christmas break was supposed to begin becauase of ice and snow. So they ended up with 3 1/2 weeks off! A few of the highlights of the snow were sledding down the big hill, taking walk and eating at Red Robin, going to a neighborhood christmas party while it snowed a ton outside!

We did end up going south for Christmas but it was a little sketchy getting out of here! We had a great Christmas! The boys loved it! January flew by! I am not sure what all we did but we were always busy - lol.

One exciting thing that happened during Christmas break is we got EZRA POTTY TRAINED! He is doing awesome!! He will turn 3 in April and it is so nice to avoid diapers! They were now at $42 a box at Costco!My team! This is a very rare occasion where we have the whole PersonalScrapper team together!!

Teeth, Glasses & Good Ol' Scrapbooking

We had a few new "FIRSTS" for our big boys this past week.

FIRST of all, Cameron lost his FIRST tooth. This tooth has been loose for awhile and it is out! He could not wait to show everyone his new smile! Ezra was excited to put his tooth under the pillow with him! They were both giddy with excitment (not sure Ezra really knew why though!). Then Andrew came and joined in on the fun:

Here is his mugshot:

Andrew has new glasses. We found out that he is nearsided and can't see very well at a distance so he got glasses this past week. He loves them and was thrilled at how well he could see when he got them. He said it was the best day ever! It is amazing that last year he passed his eye test and this year failed. Their eyes can change so fast!

All i have to say is.... Like Father, Like son!

We also have our FIRST snow this week. We kept hearing that we are getting snow but we don't believe it til we see it. We were able to go play in it on Sunday. Today was very icy and no more snow. The boys have not had school and I don't think they will have school at all this week. On Wednesday we are supposed to be getting more snow! 3-6 inches! I hope to get better pictures then! Hopefully we will survive a 3 week Christmas break!!

WE are having a ONLINE CROP over at http://www.personalscrapper.com/. Over the past few days in between shopping, snow days, laundry, etc., I have been able to do 5 layouts so far:
