Family vacation to the Oregon Coast 2008

Still one of Roc's favorite activities, throwing rocks!

Roc showing how brave he his by showing off the days catch, with the help of Grandpa Scott.

Everyone gathered around to pick out which fresh fish they wanted for dinner.

Watching the guys come in off their fishing trip.  If I remember right they said it was a rough ride the whole time.  Looks like it was a fairly decent catch and all the kids had fun looking and watching them fillet them.

 

Our trip to the Hatfield Center after the Oregon Aquarium.  Both places were pretty cool and had lots for the kids to do.  We didn't get to do much here because we got there about 30 min before they closed.  I think the coolest part is the giant octopus that's right in the front door.  We were bummed we got there too late to watch the daily feeding.  The crab shirt that Roc's wearing he still tries to wear it today.  So he either hasn't grown a whole lot or I just bought it really big.  Either way it's still hanging around.  Can't wait to go back and take the kids again.  I think that they would enjoy and understand alot more.

Easter 2008

For those of you who can't remember what was big in 2008 (or those who can't see well enough to make out this picture), this was a Shrek Easter egg.

This is before the natural competition started, now (2012) they would have had a drag-out-knock-out-fight over that egg!

You can see that during this same year we started the addition to our home (who would have thought that the finishing touches would be added 4 years later, just in time to sell!)

Emma got one of her first makeup kits that year for Easter.  Thank goodness she let me help her put some on, now days she doesn't need my help she's to grown-up for that.


Just finishing going through some boxes and Ryan found pictures.  Can you believe how young they look?! 

A Simpler Time 2006

Gram crackers and ear wax, does it get any better?

You know she got away with something!

And he was in on it too!

After this picture was taken we instituted the random drug testing!

That is a good grilled cheese sandwich!

Summer 2006

I don't know what she did but she sure looks guilty to me!

Eating one of his favorites, speghetti!!

Roc just couldn't make it through lunch. All the excitment wore him out.

Emma and her hair. To this day she doesn't like her hair in a pony tail.



I'm starting to see a common theme.

The Asotin county fair, they have a family night thats 2 for 1.  It's a lot of fun to watch the kids do as many rides as they can.  Ryan's excited that Emma loves the crazy rides, cause now he has someone to ride then with.  I don't do carnival rides very well, I'm not sure I ever did carnival rides very well. 

Emma's 4th birthday party 2006

Emma opening presents on her 4rd birthday.

More presents.

And more presents.

And more presents.

And more presents. She is one spoiled kid!!

Waiting now for the good stuff, ice cream cake!!

 

Emma's 4rd birthday and Ryan's graduation party.  Notice no pictures of Ryan?  He was adimit that there was to be no party or anything for his graduation.  So of course we went behind his back and did it anyways.  He lived through it and had a fun day anyways.  Thanks to all our friends and family that helped and supported us through during that time.
