Josh's Pictures of the Kids

Josh has always been a beautiful artist and great at photography so when I told him I was taking the kids to get their portraits done he said let me try. His session gave me the best pictures of the kids. And there are so many to choose from. Here are just a few...

Halloween 2009

We were lucky enough to be able to go Trick or Treating with Uncle Jason and our Cousins Ally, Cade, and Sara again this year. They are so fun to share our holiday's with!

Seer lucked out with Trick or Treating. She got more than everyone. Must have been the costume. Just kidding-these are her cousin's.

Kaiden worked for almost 2 weeks on his homemade costume. His mask, bones, everything was drawn, cut out, and colored by him.

GO TEAM!

Pilot Koda Ellison

Pilot Koda Ellison born June 25, 2009. Golden Retriever.

Kaiden's 7th Birthday!

After Kaiden's party we took the kids to the BMX track by autzen stadium to try out their bikes.

Kaiden was a bit hesitant at first, but he got the hang of it fast on his new bike that Josh picked out for him. Its a "freestyle" Tony hawk limited edition bike that he will grow into.

McKenna got to upgrade to Kaiden's old bike. She tried out the BMX track too for her first time. She was the only girl there and of course she was in a skirt. You go girl!

McKenna showing us how its done- with a smile and dimples!

The windy party!

Family is so important. They were the first to arrive at the party!!!

My first attempt at baking. Lego cakes. Easy for most, but it took a lot of effort on my part:)

Our Summer Vacation

We had so much fun this summer. We camped, swam, went to Utah, Camped at Lake Billy Chinook, Lapine, and a KOA campground, went boating, camped in a motorhome, rode bikes, went to Enchanted Forest, the zoo, movies, visited family, and so much more. We spent a lot of time together as a family since Josh doesn't have to leave to work. Its been a momentous and fabulous experience for all of us.

Seer with Daddy

This was the funniest thing. We were telling the kids to strike a pose at camping in Lapine, Oregon. It was around 10 PM on a dark street and they were hilarious.

We had to do it again another night!

McKenna and Daddy caught "Chip" our chipmunk. We let it go moments later. We ended up catching him 3 times.
