15 days of Oregon fun!

Just like old times...Matt and I have been doing this since he was a baby! I still got it. :) The boys at Cannon Beach Park. Man I love those boys!! Crazy Kids!!

The boys at Haystack Rock. The boys were so excited to be in the same place the Goonies was filmed.

It was a really cold day!! At least for us Southerners...

Cody about to do a dive.

Good times at the Aquatic center.

Cody was really excited to put his hand up the dinosaurs butt. Yikes!

Check out Parker working his guitar hero skills. Nice job Park!!

Cody and Cass just being hangin'.

Best park ever! It is called the spin park...I wonder why?

We had a great time in Oregon. Can't wait to go back home soon! :)

Spring Break

We went to the beach with some friends for spring break. He liked this for about 1 min and them panicked to get out. The boys stayed in a lot, it was so cold. Bummer!! At least they found some old barney videos to watch and laugh at.

My boys at the beach.

At least the cold brought out more fish.

Good times!!

Cody and Austin at work

The boys have their first paying job as a ref. for soccer. Cody is the one in the red. :) Getting ready for the game to start.

Here is Austin ready to ref his first game as center ref. He would of killed me if he knew I was taking pics.

They are so happy to have some extra cash, and I think they are doing a really good job!

Austin can you feel the excitement.

Easter (better late than never) :)

We spent Easter with Jenn and the kids. Jenn loves her Easter basket!!

Karly and Spencer are ready for a money hunt.

Karly was great collecting the coins.

Spencer was also a great collector.

Noah ready to go home and go to bed.

Brother, sister love!!!

I love this pic.

And the boys maybe wouldn't decorate eggs, or let me do a hunt for them. But at least the Easter basket is still OK.

Can you see the excitement on Cody's face.

It was a great Easter, I am so glad I have Jenn and the kids close by to celebrate with. I hope you all had a great Easter!

Cody's First Car and First Time Driving.

Here is a pic of Cody and his car.




He knows he's got driving skills!!

Getting ready to drive the car for the first time.

Looking Good.

We aren't doing a great job teaching the driving skills because he is already falling asleep at the wheel!

Why is Cody so scared?

You'll see why...

We thought it was only fair to let Austin drive too. (Don't worry both boys only drove on our property)

Nobody got killed in this experiment.

Austin loved driving!! But we only let him drive Rick's old car that was totalled from the hail storm. So funny to watch!!

Hail storm

We had a hail storm a few weeks ago.

Check out the size of this hail ball.
Rick was driving when the storm hit, his car has about 40 dents in it. The insurance company decided to total his car. Crazy what a little ice can do!

Here are a few of the hail pieces left over from the storm. We have never seen anything like this before. Our home has about $10,000-20,000. in damages. Crazy, Crazy Stuff!!!

Bad Blogger!

I have been the worst blogger these last few months. So I thought I would catch you up on what we have been doing these last few weeks.

We just got back from a snow trip to Boone, NC. Here is a pic of the boys and their best friends the Stotts. They are about to go sledding, which was so funny to watch because it was pure ice! It looked like the movie "Christmas Vacation" they really flew down the hill.


Here is Austin and Ethan ready to go up the lift to snowboard.

Cody and Dylan enjoying the snow.

There is Cody in the blue jacket facing us coming down the hill. He had no fear that day!

And here is Austin on his way down the "Big Apple" one of the bigger mountains.

Cody taking a break

All the boys ready for a great day at the slopes.

We took the boys to the Grand Prix on Martian Luther King Day. Can you see the excitement in Cody's eyes.

It was a chilly but fun day!

Rick surprised me with a Birthday Party this year.

It was a fun night!

Good job Rick!
