Happy, Happy Birthday to Chet!!!

We celebrated Chet's 7th birthday on Saturday, January 12th!! It's hard to believe that he's seven already! Chet is such a fun, energetic, helpful, and sweet boy! We love him to pieces!!! We had fun celebrating Chet's birthday at Papa and Nana's while we were there for Medford special meeting! Chet wanted an Artic cake! It looked really cool with his animals he staged all over the cake, on the iceburgs and in the water!

Having fun opening presents with his fan club surrounding him!

So excited it's his birthday!

Cousins and best buddies!

I just love this picture! Reid is such a goofy boy!!

Hanging out at Green Peter...

Before school started again for the boys after winter break, we headed up to Green Peter to do a little shooting, and exploring...It was beautiful and the boys had fun running around where in the summer the ground in submerged under water.  We did find some treasure!  A sea shell of all things!

Practicing shooting with the boys gun...

 

 

 

 

What a fun day! Cheap entertainment is the best!

Special Meeting company...

The day after our New Year's get together we loved having Zach Z. and John S. stay with us for Lebanon special meeting! Will and John knew each other from when they were kids, Will living in Klamath Falls area, and John living in Medford! So it was extra special to have him!

They boys love Zach! I love how comfortable they feel with the workers =)

Miss Lily Jane is standing up on her own! She is getting to be such a big girl! She took two steps, from the couch to the coffee table on the 6th of January...9 months old!

I love her expressions! =D

 

New Year's 2012!!

We had such a fun New Year's get together this year!! It is always so fun to be with all the kids and parents! We were so happy that a couple families stayed an extra day as the weekend went by so fast! We cannot wait until the next time spent together!

Lily loved all the attention!

Treasure hunt!

We planned a treasure/scavenger hunt for the kids on Saturday! It was sooo fun! The kids started out in two groups, going to about 10 clues for each group before they found the treasure! It was a beautiful sunny day! Perfect for treasure hunting!
