Starting over

As a family we have been richly blessed, with wonderful extended family and great friends in our lives. Without any of you we wouldn't be who we are. We love you all and thank you for your support as we start over and continue on our new adventure through life.

Family Reunion

Info on our Family Reunion:

OK update on the family reunion...
We are going to end voting early on where to stay. Dad and I decided to choose Nehalem due to the bigger campsites.
If you are not up for camping or bringing an RV, there are motels, condos, houses, etc you can rent that are in Cannon Beach, Seaside. Etc. Cannon Beach is about a 20 min. drive to Nehalem.
As for Lunch we are going to have a potluck, everyone bring their own dish to share. The Lunch will be held at the host campsite. Along with activities. Our rough draft agenda is as follows:

Friday night anyone who wants to come visit at the host campsite is more then welcome we will have smores and hot chocolate going. (We are planning on reserving site B27 so you can plan accordinly.) As long as our fire is burning ya'll are welcome.

Saturday: The family can start to gather around 10:00am where the family is welcome to visit and hang out..
12:00-2:00 pm lunch and games
2:00pm: Family auction/raffle
3:00pm: Family meeting (more games for kids)
4:00pm: Family Group Pictures
6:00pm: Time to say goodbye
Anyone sticking around is more then welcome to join us for a potluck dinner at the host campsite, or join us at Mo's (Depends on what we feel like eating or I should say if we feel like cooking...)


As we get closer to next July we will be sending out family group records for everyone to fill out and update, please make copies and bring them with you to the reunion. We would love for pictures to be included. We are going to help Rita out some more with those awesome albums she has been so diligently working on.

Along with that we will be taking pictures during the reunion any that are taken will be put on a cd, if you would like a copy we ask you pay us before you leave and we will see that you get one. The cost will be around $4.00 to cover the cd and shipping.

We would like to know the number of kids that will be attending next year, so we can plan games and activities.

Again please pass this message on to family.... We are excited hope to see ya'll there ready to play and have fun!!

Which is Grander the Canyon OR Family?

We had a lot of fun in the Kaibab. We got up there Thursday night, okay early Firday morning (like 2am). Friday we hung around the campground and got to visit with family and let all the cousins play. Saturday we visited the Grand Canyon where the boys got to see it for the first time. We really enjoyed the cool weather, it was awful to come back...
