Quick 2009 Recap

Spring brought a lot of fun, different things. We didn't get to roll eggs with the Anderson's and so we decided to shoot our eggs instead. It was a fun FHE moment. It's only the 3rd time I've shot a gun. Branden and Brax were also able to go fishing with some of the Anderson family.

For Easter, my mom gave the grandkids swimming lessons. My two nieces and Brax had a lot of fun and enjoyed being together. Braxten has always been some what of a fish, so he loved it.


Braxten has really fallen in love with sports. He tried T-Ball this year and loved it. He also completed his preschool education and was so proud to get his certificate.



I can't believe how old I'm getting, but my baby sister Shanelle graduated from High School!
In June, my younger sister Cara graduated from college with both Associate's and Bachelor's Degrees in Accounting. She graduated from Mt. Hood Community College and Eastern Oregon University. We were able to go and support her. We stayed on vacation following graduation and were there a week. It was Shanelle's senior trip. Branden and my mom went fishing one day. We went to Tillamook Cheese. They got me out whale watching. I get motion sick way easy and yes, I was nauseous when we landed. I got walking pneumonia while on this vacation, but hey it was worth it. We also went to see all the different beaches we found.



July brought fishing. On the way home from Glenwood after a fishing trip, we hit a calf. We were grateful that we were in the "old" car. It was never the same after that.



What is a summer without camping? We went camping with both the Anderson's and Cowley's. We just spent a night up with the Cowley's and didnt' actually camp. We also went to Seven Peaks with the Andersons. It was a lot of fun, but no one needs to see me in a bathing suit.
Fall brought soccer and Kindergarten for Braxten. He is growing up so fast. He also turned six.
We moved to Hurricane in December. Branden started his job down here the last week of October. We're excited to be back together all the time. We've been very blessed and couldn't ask for more. We hope you all had happy holidays.
