Past and Present...The future will be later!

I've been inspired to be a little more pro-active with my blogging. My goal is to put less on Facebook and more on here. All 207 of our facebook friends proabable dont really care that much anyways.

So in the near recent past we took a trip to Marks family hometown in Albany Oregon. We were there for a nice week long visit. We had a really good time and enjoyed visitng with many of his family members! The kids all traveled pretty well considering it was an eight hour drive! Anna was a trooper and slept alot! We took one day and made it out to Newport beach on the coast. I had a great time and so did the boys. However, I have come to learn Mark found it less than desirable. Which partly was my flub since I took off with Judy to do a little touristy shopping while Marv and Mark stayed at the beach with the boys. Who apparently would not just stay still and play nicely. Oops...Thanks for suffering guys!

We saw sea lions and incidently have a sea lion living in our home town of Genesee as well. Someone's dog barks just like the sea lions and Jackson is quick to tell me he hears the sea lions everytime said dog barks!

On the drive home we asked Jackson what his favorite part of the trip was and he said....Grandma's toys! (:

On to the present....Aunt Tiffany came to stay a few days this past week. For those of you unfamiliar with who Aunt Tiffany is, she is my Dad's GF's daughter. We had a really nice time! The boys LOVED having someone to play with them! I wonder if she is having Thomas the train withdrawls yet?? We went down to Lower Granite Dam on Monday and then drove over the dam to Boyer park! The weather was nice and the boys enjoyed playing in the water!








The kids are all doing well! Anna is a good sleeper, which is heaven for Momma! We are looking forward to fall! Picked our first 4 orange pumpkins with about 14 more in the garden waiting to turn!! Sadly fall time means burning for Mark, he hasn't started yet but will be off and running as soon as we get some more rain! Although, when he is gone I don't have to watch football! HA!!
