Our trip to Seattle!!

We "worked" our way up to Seattle a couple of weeks ago! While Will did some sales calls on the way and back, we had fun playing in the truck!

Fun with Cousins!!!

We LOVED our time with Troy & Beth, and Joe and Danny, and Gentry & Elaine, and Victoria and Grant while we were in Seattle!! The boys had soooo much fun together and played together so nicely!

Having fun with Troy and Joe!

You know if Chet loves you if he grabs a book and finds your lap! (Victoria and Chet!)

Joe loved holding Zane!

On top of Seattle!

While we were in Seattle, we had dinner in the space needle! Chet espcially loved it because we could see all the airplanes, boats, cars, and ambulances from way up high! While we ate our delicious dinner, the space needle slowly rotated around, bringing us in full circle of the whole town! It was really neat!

Good buddies! Mommy and Zane!

Good buddies! Daddy and Chet!

Looking up at the space needle...

Fun with dad!!

Lambs and Laughs!!

We had such a fun day today!! We went over to see the OSU lambing in Corvallis with Martha and her boys, and Jessica and her girls! There were so many cute, cute baby lambs, some of them just born! It was really neat, and the kids loved it! It was so sweet to hear all the baby lambs baaing, and their mama's answering back! I love how they eat...on their knees...a good spiritual comparison of going on our knees to get bread. There were some girls there too doing something to the lambs, and when the baby lambs were released, they would run baaing for their mama's, and the mama would baa back and they would find each other! The moms knew her baby's cry. So nice to think that God knows our cry. After the lambing, we went to eat at a pizza parlor that had a Huge play place, all enclosed that the kids had SO much fun playing in! What a fun day with cousins!

At the lambing...

Peek-a-boo! (just a note...this is not blood on the little lamb, but some red numbers that were painted on it!)

I have to write about this picture! Josh wanted SO bad to go on the school bus! He stood near the bus, waiting for the kids to come back, and when the kids did come back to get on the bus, Josh was headed in that direction to join them! Martha had to do a lot of convincing that he had to wait until he was a little bigger!

So much fun to run and play!

Growing SO Big!

Zane is getting so big! He loves to play with Chet's toys!

Sweet smiles from Kaia!

Zane fell asleep in his Jumperoo again! Chet thought that it was so funny, so we had to pose for some pictures before we laid him down in his crib!

A faithful friend...

Lester W., a faithful friend here is Sweet Home passed away at the age of 94 this past week. We are so thankful for a faithful older generation that is such an encouragement to us in every way...... We won't soon forget Lester's constant smile and encouraging spirit that was always so uplifting. We are so thankful for his influence on our lives....

Chet and the kids had fun playing on Sherman's old fire truck after a special Sunday morning meeting! Wouldn't it be fun to have one of these at home?!

Zane ceases to amaze us! Zane is SO strong! He started crawling at 6 1/2 months, and now at 7 months and a couple days is pulling himself up on things! What a fun little guy he is!!

Oh Happy day!

Enjoying a beautiful sunny day outside!

Chet loves being outside!

Chet is quite the photographer! He had fun clicking away on the camera (thank goodness for digitals) and this one turned out pretty good!

Cute brothers!
