Fireworks!!

I had some fun playing with my camera!! I actually got better pictures on my little $200 point and shoot than I have ever gotten with my expensive "good" camera!! LOL!!

 

 

 

 

Beautiful Multnomah Falls!!

 

 

Fishin'!!!

 

 

 

 

**whispering...we went to a fish farm!! Guaranteed catching!! It seriously rocked!!

4th of July

 

Check this out!!

These are actual packages of medicine sold during the pioneer age!! No wonder they didn't have problems with teething or sleeping in those dusty wagons!!!

 

 

 

Check out all the things this medicine supposedly cures!!!!

 

This is probably a little more realistically how the prairie women felt on their six month (or more!) journey to the West!!

 

Ready for a long trip!

 

Caught!!

 

More pioneer beauties....

 

 

 

 

The end of the Oregon Trail!!

Sarah and Joe posing as pioneers....

 

Wait...who's that prairie woman???

 

Bethany done up as a prairie doll...

 

This is becoming a habit for him....

 

Happy Birthday Tim!!

Often times Tim ends up home alone on his birthday because it's smack dab in the middle of the summer when the kids and I go galavanting to California....NOT THIS YEAR!!!

Tim got to be surrounded by family for his birthday this year!! What a treat for him!! My honey LOVES to be with people and even more LOVES to be with family so there is no better present for him than to be surrounded by his mom, dad, brother, sister, nieces, nephew, and all of us for his birthday!!

Sarah picked out his cake!! It had Wall-E on it!!

 

Surrounded by family!!

 

Our State Hopping Continues!!!

We've safely landed in Oregon...the rose state!! I have to admit it is absolutely gorgeous!! We had a (ahem..cough...sputter...laugh) heat wave!! It was in the 90's when we got here!!! We LOVED IT!!!

We had a welcome dinner when we got here! Tim and I were relieved that WE didn't have to sit at the kids table!!!

 

We went strawberry picking at the local farm!! I think we ate nearly as many as we picked!!! S was stained bright red down the front of her white shirt!! I found a new product at mom's that I LOVE because it got it all out!!! (Zout)

 

The kids played on a slip and slide at G'ma's (what is that green stuff they're running on??)

 

We had a thunderstorm on Saturday night!! The kids ran around in it loving it and getting soaked until the lightening lit up the sky and then they ran for cover!!
