Wet and wild

We love summer in Oregon!

Our perfect day includes being outside and playing in the water.

This summer we have had many occasions to play with friends at the fountains or at the lake.

Sweet home AZ

I went to AZ in June to help with Sam and Glenna's open house.

We transformed the cultural hall into this....

I made carrot cake. The day of the reception it hit 119 degrees. It was the hottest party on the hottest day of the year.

We saw family

And I had no kids with me! It was fun to have adult hang out time.

We were taking some pictures... Then this happened...

It was fun comparing wedding dresses. After 9 1/2 years and 3 kids I could still fit into my wedding dress. :)

Reading the Book of Mormon

Starting them young...

Rose Garden

Our last adventure with family in town was to visit the rose garden.

Lots of beautiful and smelly flowers...

Mom and sad with all their grand kids.:

Coast

The next part of our week long adventure with family on town was to head to the Tillamook factory and the Oregon Coast.
