Christmas 2009

Ok so as usual we didn't take a lot of pictures at christmas. Here we are with Aunt Mary infront of the new camping kitchen my dad got us. Lauren loved her new desk we got her, but I think her favorite thing she got was a game called Guess Who and yes Aunt Mary played it with her all day on Christmas and she still plays it all the time. Audrey enjoyed her table and the new bottles for her baby dolls. yes, it was like the coldest day of the year and we went to see the lights and the ginger bread houses in Sunriver! Ouch it was -10 out when we were there.

some of the ginger bread houses

My favorite, I took more put I turned the camera so I haven't ajusted the shots for this and I'm lazy and probably never well. So sorry

Christmas dinner at mom's house! What a crowd had so much fun!

Nov. 2009

we had family over for Thanksgiving at our house. Lots of good food. In this picture you can see the yummy rolls I made in the cupcake holder. The best I've ever made. Mark and Margy are also in the picture. can you say sweets! Uncle George made pumpkin cream puffs, I made the a pumpkin pie and an apple pie and Aunt Mindy made an apple pie as well. If that wasn't enough Grandpa Jim brought cupcakes.

the 2 witches, funny that almost everyone was a witch this year, Lauren was a black cat again. I tired to get her to be something different. Oh well, maybe in 2010.

oops been a long time since I updated this

1st day of school 2009 to the rest of the summer

Lauren's first day of school

Audrey's first day of preschool

Our Labor Day blow out party - yes we had 24 kids! It was a fun time complete with tug of wars! Bailey, Leah and Audrey walked around carrying their plates, because of the bee and because well, their girls.

eating some grub!

little bit older kids sitting in chairs eating and having a good time

Sometimes, the little girls sat down, this was such a cute picture, we had all the little girls sitting in the little chairs (they did this on their own) but I wasn't fast enough with the camera to get the shot.

getting ready for a tug of war

Go team go!

yes, I we were happy about school starting! Although when Tuesday came, I had to walk out of Lauren's room really fast, because I felt the tears coming on. It's odd to have Lauren gone all day long.

High Desert Museum with Grandma Stockton and Aunt Mary - we made 2 trips to the museum this summer, this was the second trip. The first trip we went with daddy and he finally got to see the old saw mill going.

Crazy camping trip - we wanted to go on our last camping trip before school started with some friends but they were unable to make it, I guess they missed out! It was a crazy trip, our first night was so loud with bugs and the water was nasty, we packed up and drove, drove, drove to another place. We only made it to another lake after many failed attempts to go to other camp grounds. The girls had some fun for the most part.

In the car but having fun

the first camp spot, pretty from a distance! I guess we need some more camping gear! This was primitive camping, no table or water unless the green stuff from the lake at this place.

We didn't make it to our county fair this year so we went to Crook county fair instead the following weekend. Audrey thought this was sooo much fun.

Getting ready for a ride at the Crook County fair

Audrey wasn't too sure she liked this ride

hot day at the Derek Park - the girls wanted the geese to come to them, but sadly we didn't have food, so they didn't give the girls a second look.

Flash back car show at Derek Park - we visited Daddy, but it was really warm so we left them at went to the movies to see Ice Ages: Dawn of the dinosaurs

Lauren learned to fly fish with grandpa Stockton - or is she teaching him some new tricks!

Can you believe it, Lauren has 2 fishing poles!

Check out this burger! This is a huge burger from Pilot Butte Burgers, we just had to get one for Grandpa Stockton! Oh and yes, the burger was yummy!

Lauren, Grandma Stockton, Audrey, Shawna, Aunt Mary

we went camping up at East Lake with some friends from Jeff's work. We didn't get anything, but had a nice time riding on the boat round the lake.

We didn't make a fire, but the girls still wanted to roast "Smellows" (marshmellows)

Aunt Mary's Birthday at Goody's Ice cream

I did 2 art camps this summer for children 3-9 years old! I had fun doing it and actually look forward to doing it again next summer, but I was sure tired after the week. This is some of the art work from the first camp we had.

Big hit was the drip painting! Lauren and her friend

Swim lessons - go Lauren go, she can now go under water!

Swim lessons for Audrey! That completes the rest of our summer, I hope you had a great summer as well!
