Grammie's Visit

My mom was so kind to fly out here and help us out.... she did so much for us, and luckily, we were able to get in some sight seeing and an afternoon at the Saturday's market with her.  The boys had SO much fun with her.... they definitely loved being spoiled by Grammie!

The Columbia River Gorge

 The View Point Inn from the 1st Twilight movie... sadly most of it was burnt in a fire just a month before and has had to shut down.  If you look closely you can see the roof is all burnt up.

 The view from the Inn down to the Columbia River was so pretty!

Summer 2011

Though this summer was pretty stressful and taken over by unplanned various events, we did manage to get some fun in and enjoy some sun!  I have a ton of pictures not blogged yet.  I am going to be playing catch up over the next little while.  Here's some of our "fun" times from the summer of 2011:

Glide, Camping at Diamond Lake and Crater Lake Trip:

Go Aunt Heather!

 I love the North Umpqua River.... so pretty!

 Here's me in between throw-ups :)  And that's about the only picture John was allowed to take

 Dancing around some left over fireworks at night

 Fishing on Diamond Lake... it was such a pretty day!

 Mt. Thielsen

Our attempts at getting one good picture of them both smiling and looking at the camera at the same time

Crater Lake

 Love these two... always such goof balls together

 relaxing in the rocking chairs enjoying the gorgeous view of the lake while trying to get over my car sickness/preggo sickness.  it was not as fun an afternoon for me =(
