The 4th

This 4th of July we went to my sister Kori's house for a BBQ and fireworks. It was really fun...


Chris and my dad playing bad mitten



Kori and Jamie were their opponents.

Greydon







Pork Chop






Peyton Satan




Grey....Omg this kid makes me laugh so hard. He wanted so badly to be part of the big kids group but I don't think he was ready for it. He put his sparkler up in the air....right over his head and an ash from it came down and burnt the top of his head...I know most mothers will find this appalling but I laughed soo hard. Especially when my sister was like omg his head smells like burnt hair....



Mom and Cristy














CHEESE!



Sparkler time...I think this was just moments before the hair singeing!!









Firework time.



Chris helped do the fireworks























These kids are getting so freakin big



The winners of the bad mitten tournament!


Oregon Trip

Our trip to Oregon was soooo much fun....just what both of us needed. I cant wait to do it again. Chris drove the whole time...thank goodness. We listened to a book on cd, looked at the scenery, and just enjoyed being away from everything. So relaxing!



Chris on our way there...




Chris and I. Obviously I couldn't tell where it was shooting that is why most of these are of just me.












This was the B&B we stayed at well the breakfast we got when we woke up. It was so nice...We were a little worried when we first got there because there was no t.v. We ended up going to bed pretty early. But the next morning they totally made up for it..





















I thought that the little glass pitcher and glasses were so cute. I had to take a picture of them.








of coarse it was so good it was gone!












This was the other scary part of being there...we were stalked the whole time by these squirrels..they ran around the trees above us and fought over whatever the other one had in its hand. It reminded me of my sisters Cristy & Shay.





I thought that this was cool...This tree had gotten so heavy it had twisted and fallen down...Oh and this was around the time that we found out that we couldn't use the pass we wanted to because it was still closed.......due to SNOW!!!! wth you would think that it almost being July it would have frozen, but we found out when we got to Creswell that the pass is only open 3 months out of the year.








Here is the bride. The morning of the wedding we both went and got our hair did. Hers turned out super cute...I didn't like mine till like 2 days later...I wanted the loose curl look...Not the Shirley temple decided to pin back her hair look...but oh well.


The back look of the brides do.



Too cute Wen!




Chris and I at the after party.....Oregon really is beautiful and they have lakes, rivers, streams, dams, around almost every corner...





See once again this whole phone camera thing was a little tricky!



Seriously I wasnt trying to get all the food I was trying to show off the sceenery.


Now thats a little better.








Chris and his phone.






ME!


The girls





The boys







This is after the wedding we stopped off at a few winerys...So nice we got to taste the wine before we bought it. I got all sweet wines, I dont understand why anyone would want those dry all you can taste is the acohol wines. But the sweet wines were really good and very sweet... I had Chris stand off in the distance so I could get a shot of the vineyard. Geeze it was so beautiful there I wanted to just pull off and find a room close by and sit and drink the bottle of wine we had just bought...but alas we had to keep going.






























And I'm glad we didn't stop cause we ate at this place and seriously it is one of the best places I have EVER eaten. Its in a tiny town called Pendelton Or. Its a really cute little town but if your not paying attention to it you almost dont see it. Its kinda hidden in a little valley. We ate at Hamblins OMG if your ever there and you like steak go in and eat...DELOUSE!!!!



They also had kind of a old time western theme, I'm sure you can tell by this pic and the one above. But I like antiques and old stuff so I had Chris pose for a couple of pic on the inside.


Loved this chair...


Chris and his drink...


Me and my drink...I got a little tipsy but it was a really good drink.




This was our dinner soo yummy...




And these were the skies coming home...I alway like a little rain storm, I like the way the air smells durning and after. It smells fresh to me.
