Sunriver!

We've had a busy couple weeks! We went to Sunriver for a week, and were joined for a couple days by my parents to celebrate my mom and Kate's birthday.  Then I took the kids to Colusa for a week, where we had a packed week with Sister's Day, meeting baby Clay, and Luke and Eric's birthdays! 

BIRTHDAY WEEKEND

It was fun to have Mom and Dad come to celebrate the birthdays! And the actual birthday was the best because we found out Luke and Erin were going to be having the baby soon! That definitely added to our excitement!  

We started off the weekend with a quick volleyball game at Fr. Rock park!

Then it was off to SHARC, where they loved hanging out each day!

I think I have a similar picture every other post:).
  I must say I  love having someone other than myself feed the kids balls! 

And back home for dinner and a fire.  Will was pretty proud of his fire.  And I love the random picture of the tennis player:).  Seems appropriate:). 

KATE AND MOM'S  BIRTHDAY. .

It's worth mentioning again that Kate and my mom's birthday was especially exciting because we talked to Luke and found out they were at the hospital! We were already excited for our day of celebration, but that took it to another level!!

Fun birthday breakfast!

 The combo of a birthday celebration and syrup was enough to put smiles on their faces all morning!! 

Grandpa brought presents! A newspaper for Kate, and orange juice for Will! 

Birthday cake for lunch:)

Kate loved her special pink car!

And later, off to the lodge, where we had an awesome dinner and birthday celebration!

Birthday girls:).

Look what I got!

Will wanted to take a picture of us:). 

There were games right near where we ate, so it was fun to play after dinner.  I must say I was a little nervous for the kids to have a mallet!

We hung out even after my parents left because it was such a beautiful night!

I loved my birthday!!

The kids first hike 

We drove up to Mt. Bachelor one afternoon, and the kids had fun climbing in the dirt! We loved the views from our little hike!

Benham Falls

We had fun hiking to Benham Falls!  It is such a pretty hike, and so short that it's perfect for the kids! 

This was our Christmas picture last year:).  And might be again this year. I wasn't trying for it, but it's almost impossible to get the kids to smile at the camera, so we might just have to go with it!

Enjoying time back at our cool house with the red carpet, and red bathtub:). . . 

Fun making forts and pretending to sleep in them:).

The kids loved rock climbing! It was fun that they were able to actually climb, but it made me nervous when Will made it to the top!
