13!

This pretty little lady turned 13 today. We can't believe how lucky we are, and how blessed our life is because she is in it!

She got some really fun gifts and cards from all the people she loves! Thank you so much for thinking of her and taking the time to send her love and birthday wishes. There is one thing in particular that she has been begging for, and Luke and I finally gave in and got it for her...

After a killer dinner at Pilot Butte Drive-In, we headed to Petco, where Isabelle got her new (long awaited) mouse. She named her Maleficent. Needless to say, she is over the moon. 

We are so proud of Izzy and the amazing young lady she is.

Happy birthday, Tiny!

Sheep's Bridge Campground

Imagine a half-dozen tiny cold water springs bubbling up from the ground and trickling into a river that is full of spawning Kokanee Salmon. There is a heron, some osprey, and an eagle hanging around waiting to get something to eat. Add the beautiful backdrop of thousands of pine trees and a class full of curious 5th graders and you have not just a great field trip, but a pretty awesome way to spend a morning!

Yell "O"!

Luke surprised Bucky and took him to the Ducks game at Autzen Stadium on Saturday. They had an absolute blast! Dylan still hasn't come down from cloud nine. It is one of those memories that they will both have for a lifetime. It was perfect weather (as you can see by the sunshine in the photo below) and a perfect day. Go Ducks!

Dylan would love to own the Duck Truck when he gets a little older :)

The view of the field from their seats:

It is amazing that Bucky had a voice when he came home. Luke said he yelled "O" the entire game!
