HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY JESSE! It's been ten years, seven moves, five kids, three houses (almost four), and many other wonderful experiences with you. In another ten years we'll have a daughter at college and a lot of teenagers. The time has flown in ways, and in some ways it seems we've been married forever. In good times and in bad we always stick together and rely on the Lord. I'm so blessed to have such an amazing father, provider, and friend to be my spouse. Here's to 100 more!

Liberty Girls June 2008






Alexis and Julia do a homeschool class called Liberty Girls with their twin cousins Lindsey and Lauryn. We take turns having it at our homes. Right now they are reading American Girls books and just started the Kaya series. They had a good time learning about the Nez Perce Indians and made some Abalone Shell necklaces and headdresses. We also made Salmon for dinner. Notice the other kids tagging along, that's homeschool!


Memorial Day May 2008












Becca and my Dad were camping on the Oregon Coast for the weekend and we met them out there for the day. I love the Northwest beaches. I don't mind the clouds, and the kids didn't seem to either. Hot dogs and smores for lunch-yummy.

My 30th Birthday





Jesse surprised me and the kids with a trip to Tillamook Cheese Factory and we stopped by the Cape Meares Lighthouse. What a beautiful day!! Too bad John was feeling a little sick, but it's hard to be sad at the beach!! I'm 30! I feel like a real adult now!

This photo captures one of those moments that make me love to be a mother.

John the Pirate April 2008




Anyone who knows John knows that he likes emulating Pirates, Stripling Warriors, Ewoks, Luke Skywalker or anyone else who brandishes a sword. He normally has some sort of stick, sword, golf club or even the swiffer handle in hand. This particular day we had to document since five such swords in ones pants is quite a lot, even for him.

Jessica's baby blessing day April 13th 2008


We had some of our extended family come up for Jessica Lucille Fox's baby blessing. We had a ham and potates dinner after church at our home.

We had a wonderful day and were blessed with good weather which was great so the kids could play outside and get some wiggles out.
