Spring Break 2009

We went to Grandma Coleen's and Grandpa Loren's for spring break. Although it was only April, the weather sure was pretty and WARM! We had a blast at the fair and the park! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa- You're the best!

A trip to Knotts

Our family volunteered at the 40th infantry division's family readiness deployment briefing and was rewarded with passes to Knotts Berry Farm in Buena Park. This was our first trip to Knotts as an entire family, as we normally just take a few kids at a time to ensure David and I keep our sanity. The kids had a blast. They all really enjoyed the log ride, even David, and we rode it 3 times in a row! Alyssa even went on her 1st roller coaster and didn't get sick... phew!

Frog and snails and big bushy beards....

....apparently that's what Idaho boys are made of.

David and the kids (sans Miranda) were lucky enough to escape to Idaho for a while this summer. I am just a wee bit jealous of all the fishin, hikin', and off roadin. Here are a few highlights of their trip- Yes, Idaho is really THAT beautiful. (In case you missed him, David is the one really getting into "mountain man mode"):
