Pretty girls all ready for church.

Makenna eating a bagel before church. Landon trying to run away before I get his picture.

Madison and one of her poses.

Mommy and the girls :)

I had to take a picture of the girls with their pig tails. We let Madison pick out her own clothes and pjs. Sometimes she matches and sometimes not (which is fine with us :)) She informed us that her pjs matched because they both had stripes. :)

Madison and Makenna playing ring around the rosie.

This is a kite that Madison made all by herself. She was outside flying it and she came in and told me "the kids next door were watching me fly my kite through the fence." Then she said " I guess they have never seen such a beautiful kite before."

Washington Park Zoo, Portland, Oregon. $2.00 Tuesday :)


This was where the sea lions were at, there was 2 of them just swimming around doing lots of neat tricks. This was Madison's favorite, she loved being right down next to the glass when they would come swimming close by. You aren't able to see Madison in this picture :( There was too many other people enjoying the show. When we left the sea lions Makenna said " bye fishy." She said good bye and waved to all of the animals that we saw.

All 4 of the kiddies watching the giraffes. Makenna said "cow, moo." She also liked the bears, she told them goodnight when we left them and she also waved.

Landon and Madison found a neat place for their picture to be taken at the zoo. Now here are the real wild animals. Maybe someone will stop and see what they are??

Makenna checking out to see if she can spot any birds.

Landon watching the ducks go back and forth under the bridge. He could have stayed there for hours...

Howdy Braxton. He humors me when I want to take his picture...

Madison thought this would be a cute place for me to take her picture....

Makenna watching the ducks go under the bridge.

Madison and Makenna checking out the ducks in the bird Aviary.

Braxton in the bird Aviary. He moves around so fast I couldn't get a picture of him looking at the camera.

Landon in the bird Aviary. He was so excited to see the cute ducks. He was trying to talk to them, but they didn't talk back.

Madison in the bird Aviary. It was really neat in there lots of pretty birds flying around.

Madison pretending she is a butterfly. We went in a tropical butterfly exhibit at the zoo, there was butterflies flying around everywhere. Madison really wanted to have one land on her, it decided to land on Makenna instead (probably because of Makenna's bright pink shirt). When the butterfly landed on Makenna's upper arm, she started screaming and I had to help her get it off before she broke one of the poor wings off. So, I was unable to get a picture :(

Landon after we went through the tropical butterfly exhibit. They had handles on the butterflies and Landon liked flapping the wings, he thought that was pretty neat.

Braxton after we went through the tropical butterfly exhibit.

Pictures from our 2nd Campout at Cape Lookout. Tillamook, Oregon. We had so much fun, we decided to go again.


Daddy, Braxton, and Madison flying the glider plane.

We had alot of fun at the beach.

Playing in the sand.

Landon showing me how the hole he dug works. The water would come into the hole and then go back out in the trench. He had fun working on it.

Landon working on digging a hole in the sand for the water to go into. Makenna showing daddy her pretty rock she found. Madison and mommy looking at all of the rocks that Makenna found.

Landon digging a hole in the sand and when the water would wash up on shore it would go in his hole and he thought it was pretty neat. He loved being out there in the sand, he would've liked being out there all day long.

Makenna picking up pretty rocks at the beach. At first Makenna refused to get down on the sand, because she would get her feet dirty. It is a good thing daddy is smart, he had a poop bag in his pocket (no worries it was unused) That is the only way she would unwrap her legs and arms around me and get down on the sand. She had alot of fun picking up pretty rocks and putting them in the bag, and mommy's arms got a rest from carrying her.

Horray, Daddy found the glider plane.

Daddy rescued the glider plane, good thing it was only $9.00 at Costco, it seemed no matter where we flew it, it headed for the water.

Daddy and Landon looking for the glider plane.

Looking to see where the glider plane landed.

Daddy went in the ocean and rescued the glider plane that kept wanting to fly into the ocean.

Having fun playing in the sand.

Landon and Makenna at the beach.

Landon at the beach.

Braxton and Landon digging their way to China.

Mommy and Makenna sitting on a rock. Makenna won't get her feet dirty in the sand :)

Madison came running up and said "Braxton I saved your shoes." While we were at the beach she was making sure everyones shoes were out of the way of the waves so, they wouldn't get washed away.

Having fun playing in the sand. Makenna and I were sitting on a rock, she refuses to get her feet dirty.

When we first got to the beach Landon wanted to dig a hole. So, luckily he found one that someone had already started. He thought that was pretty neat. It was pretty deep, he is standing up in it.

Puppy at the campsite, she kept getting her ears messy when she would eat. So, we tied up her ears when she ate, we all thought it was pretty funny :)

Braxton and Landon playing in the sand.

Madison loves to run around the beach and find lots of treasures.

Madison running on the beach, she runs up and down the beach, she would run to the Washington or California coast if we would let her.

Braxton playing in the beach sand. He was looking at me when I was getting ready to snap this picture, but he hurried and turned to see where the waves were. Although he did still wave at me.

Landon and Madison standing on a "stomp" Madison first climbed the "stomp" and said she was the king of the "stomp". We all thought it was cute that she said stomp instead of stump. This is at our campsite at Cape Lookout.
