Pumpkin Patch!

Ricky's 3rd trip to a pumpkin patch...couldn't be missed! We all went out and had a fabulous afternoon: photos, hay mazes, pumpkin decisions, carmel apples, popcorn, tattoos, firetrucks, horses, etc. We all came home happy, dry & not muddy. Pretty good for Oregon in October!

GOTCHA DAY!
We celebrate what Ricky refers to "gotcha day" each year on the 9th of September. This is the day that Ricky came to live with us forever. The day consists of a present for Ricky and a present for Ebby the elephant, plus dinner at La Costita! Always a very special day!

School Year Begins

Although, not all on the same day...school did begin again!
My beautiful freshman! (I must add in college lest she kills me...having to take a photo was bad enough!)

My gorgeous Sophmore!

Ricky...5th grade! Last year of elementary school!

Dad's 73rd Birthday

I surprised my dad with a ride on a bi-plane yesterday. We flew up the gorge, past Crown Point, Multnomah Falls and to the dam. On the way back we went thru Sandy, Corbett and up the Sandy River. We had a blast together. Happy Birthday Dad. We love you!

Father's Day 2010

We enjoyed a lovely day at home after church.

My dad and me.

Dad, Rob and the kids.

Nicole - Our Valedictorian!

June 14th, Nicole graduated as one of the Valedictorians from Reynolds! We were mighty proud! Here is Nicole with some of the special people in her life. Make sure and take note of the bottom middle photo of Amanda and Ricky! They had heard enough about the "ropes" and metals! It was a lovely evening. It actually didn't take as long as we thought to name off almost 700 names! Congratulations Nicole!
