Splash, Splash...Vroom, Vroom

One of mine and Jace's many goals is to someday own a boat...a nice boat. I can't wait for this day. This week our friends, Brandon and Natalie invited us to go boating and we had the BEST time! We all loved it!!! Jace and Brandon got behind the boat first then Natalie and I. She splashed me so much I couldn't breathe for the first 5 minutes!!! Then we both let go of our tubes to see how long we could last with “no hands”. She won. I would try to push her off her tube, but no dice. Brandon and Natalie switched places after awhile and I tried to push him off too, but his legs are so long I never even got close. We needed pictures of all this action, but needless to say, they would not have done justice. The water and the weather were perfect, we just needed more hours in the day. Love you guys and can't wait to go again.

Coastal Vacation

Our family just came home from the Oregon coast. We rented an awesome beach house that was right on the beach. It was so much fun!! We played in the sand, played frisbee, flew kites, explored sandy and rocky beaches, found starfish, visited a lighthouse, went four-wheeling, shopping, hiking, had great food (but not at the Blue Whale in Yachats) had a puppet show, played charades; and with all this fun, it didn't matter that we never saw sunshine.

Little Carson's Blessing

We have a lot to catch up on for our blog. The first thing we'll post is Carson's Blessing. It was a great day. Lotsa fun, food, laughs and memories. We had about 1/2 of both families come. We missed those of you that couldn't come because of work, distance, or serving a mission. And even those of you who (we found out later) went to the wrong building. The pictures are for you mom and dad. We missed you lots that day.
