Chet is sooo excited to be an accomplished winker! He has been trying to wink this past while, and finally did it! What a cute expression!

We loved having a surprise visitor....Verna S. !

Daddy shot this nice 7 1/2 inch bearded turkey in our yard!

Special friends and fun times!

We loooved having some special friends (Abe, Amy, Emily, and Anna V.) stop to play and stay with us before Thanksgiving! We so loved our time together, and the kids loved playing with each other!

Reid and Anna 'playing!' Love the sweet smiles! Anna is just one month older than Reid!

Swimming! Chet, Zane and Reid are loving swimming lessons in Corvallis! They are all doing so well and love being in the water!

Daddy was able to go with us one day! So fun!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year was a very special Thanksgiving!! We loved so much having it at our house this year for the first time with my dad, mom, brother, Gordon, and his girlfriend, Laura!! A very special time together!

Goofball Chet helped keep it lively!

Cute little Reid gave out sweet smiles!

A sledding we will go!

We had so much fun going sledding with the family the day after Thanksgiving up by Hodoo! The boys had so much fun playing in the snow, throwing snowballs, and sledding down the hills!

What cute boys! Don't be decieved by their sweet smiles! They were throwing snowballs at mommy and having so much fun! =D

Zane ready to go down the little hill on his snowmobile sled with Uncle Gordon nearby!

Tuckered out and sleeping away in the warm truck!

Enjoying the November sunshine!!

What a cutie!! Looove Reid's sweet smile! =D

The mighty bow hunter! Chet has been having SO much fun with this bow that daddy picked up, and then we took one of daddy's arrows without the broad head on it, and we have been having SO much fun with it!! Chet is practicing shooting this deer, turkeys that come in our yard, and even our sheep rams! ;) Of course he usually doesn't get close enough to hit them, but it does make for a good hunt and he's getting to be a really good shot! Chet is so good at sharing too! He even lets Zane and mommy have some turns! It is really fun to shoot! Oh, it's haaard work to be a mom sometimes! ;) I love playing! =D

Concentrating super hard!

Let's go to the Coast!

Daddy came home this past Friday saying that he had meant to ask earlier, but how would we like to go to the coast for the night and play around and relax the next day?? Yes, I said!! And away we went! We all had SO much fun playing around on the beach, in the pool, on the pier, and at the wharf in Newport!! What a fun, fun weekend, and what made it so wonderful was that we were all together....all my favorite people...Daddy, Chet, Zane, and Reid! Spontaneous trips are the best!

Goofy brothers! Zane is getting pretty good at making goofy faces! Big brother Chet must be a good teacher!

Three of my boys! =)

Chet and Zane looooved being in the pool again! Swimming is so much fun!!

Big cheeses!

Fun on the beach!

Chet and daddy looking at the ocean together! I thought it was so sweet how Chet went to hold daddy's hand...

A beautiful day! (I should explain because this does look a little chilly! By a beautiful day, I mean there was no wind (!) and it wasn't raining! This makes for a beautiful day in Oregon!)

Mommy and Reid! This was Reid's first time to Newport!

Splashing in the waves!

The boys had SO much fun splashing in the waves and running away from the waves as they came in! Chet was soaking wet from splashing, but never have I seen such Huge grins! It was so much fun watching them run around!

It's so hard to laugh and run at the same time!

Sweet little moments!

Exchanging sweet smiles!

Giving little brother Reid a ride! Zane thought this was SO much fun!

Cute 'lil Reid!!

Such a sweetie!! 4 1/2 months old now!
