So I finally downloaded 180 pictures to my computer( correction; Tony did it). Our summer was a busy time, but so many fun memories were made. We had Sarah's baptism with her cousin Caleb (Jenny's son). We went to Lincoln City OR with Tony's family where we played on the beach most of the time, then did a REALLY fun sand dunes ride. Hope you enjoy.SOOOO CRAZY FUN!These are the falls that you see right before you hit Portland OR. Beautiful and well worth the stop.They were trying to stop the ocean.Kids couldn't get enough of the water!Cute Cousins!

The Past Week- a post of catching up

So, I can't go back as far as I need to catch everyone (including myself) up on what our life has contained. I will go as far back as.... this weekend.
We all went up to camp Ee-Da-How, in Donnlley Id. on Cascade Lake. We arrived about 7 Friday night, set up camp, ate a yummy pulled pork dinner, watched some inspiring movies, then hung out and just talked till Lily was falling asleep playing Uno. This was around 11pm. So to bed (potty first) we went. No rain, so we got to sleep with the tent cover off and watched the stars. It did get a little chilly but nothing that snuggling with Lily in my bag couldn't fix. Finally got up around 6:45 and the Schapperts had Hot chocolate ready for the kids, while we waited for an amazing breakfast of pancakes, sausage, eggs and fruit. I decided I really liked camping when others cook the food :). We did a great game of GPS scavanger hunt that Tony and Tina had set up the night before. Everyone had a great time, especially once we realized that about half of the GPS units were around 300 ft off!
We played some Minute to Win it games then it was lunch and Off to the Lake. The kids and Tony got to play in the boat, wakeboarding, tubing and such. I stayed in camp and helped clean, then went down to the lake and kayaked and relaxed a little. We got home around 6:30 Sat. and Tony promptly left with Lily for a 'date night'. They took little bouqets of flowers to Lily's friends and dropped them off in secret. Lily loves doing thing like that, and she had a blast. Tony is so creative.
Overall it was a very pleasant weekend.
There, how is that for journaling..... sort of boring, i know. I will try to do better next time.

Love my Randomness

Okay so it is a new school year and to me that is like starting a new Year! So, I am going to have a goal to update my family journal (aka blog) Once a week...month...NO... WEEK!!!
Good luck right. I suppose this also means that I have to start being a good mommy and actually take pictures.. blah.
Well heres to CHANGE!
