Another Day at the Beach

Tom's parents came to visit us 

last weekend, so we went to the Tillimock Beach 

just for kicks and giggles. 

It was a bit cloudy, but surprisingly warm.

Every one had a great time playing on the beach.

  

In the big free open space of the beach, Tom decided to see if  his cheerleading skills were still as sharp as they use to be.  It turns out he can toss an 8 month old a lot higher than an 18 year old.

After the beach, we stopped and ate at this great little Cowboy Grill, and Owen had his first saddle ride.

Not sure, but I think it is Genetic

Here is a picture of Tom and me brushing out teeth when we were engaged (Spring 2006).

Take a good look at it.   Especially Tom.

Fast forward 2 1/2 years later, and we are teaching Owen how to brush his teeth...

Well, look for yourself.  

Can I just say that he is definitely his Daddy's boy?

Happy Halloween!!!

We have had a Great Halloween!  Check it out...

Pickin' pumpkins at the Pumkin Patch.

Hanging out with Scarecrows.

Getting all Dressed Up!

They are my Little Dragon and Dragon Trainer!

Punch Bowl Falls

About three weeks ago (on Tom's birthday in fact), we went on a hike with some friends up to Punch Bowl Falls in the Columbia Gorge. Some people refer to them as the "Temple Falls" because they are the falls that are in the temple movie (are you jealous I live is such a pretty place?). 

While we were up there, Tom decided it would be a good idea to go for a little swim,

And then he discovered the cliffs....

And even bigger cliffs.

Yes, my husband jumped off a 60 foot cliff.  Why, I am not sure, but I think I might have something to do with the fact that it was his 30th birthday, and he wanted to prove that he was still young.  

I am not so sure this was the greatest way to prove his youthfulness, because his knee has been bugging him ever since the jump.  But at least he had fun, and he can still claim that he is young at heart, right?

Very 1st Fathers and Sons Outing

A couple of weeks ago our stake had their annual Fathers and Sons Camp Out (if you count camping on the rec. field camping out).  Tom was so excited to take his boy.  It was fun to see them get so excited.  It looks like they had a blast.

Sorry

So I am back.  Sorry for my absence.  My internet has not been letting me post to my blog.  I have been writing, I just could not post.  But now it is letting me!!!  I just can't add pictures.  Well I guess something is better than nothing.  Don't be surprised if all of the sudden you see a bunch of new posts that were written a bunch of weeks ago.

30 years old!!!

Monday was Tom's birthday!  Wow, can you believe he is 30 now?  So I threw him a little party, and made him a cake.  It was kind of an ugly cake, but mmmm-boy did it taste oh so good.
