December 2014 and January 2015

We spent Christmas Day with Brigg and Havalah and family and then later spent New Year's at Megan and Jeremy's - Brigg, Havalah and boys joined us then also. Later in January we went with the Shakespear's to a water park in McMinnville close to the air museum and had a great time. On the way home, we stopped at the Turner's in Hillsboro to celebrate Luke's birthday. Here are some of the many photos taken!

The much anticipated Medal Ceremony!

Birthday's and then to Wings and Waves water park in McMinnville

Stopped at Alf's where I was a frequent customer, especially their home made ice cream, in 1989-1990 when I worked in McMinnville.

25 years later and they still had my picture in the restaurant for having won the contest of giving their new burger its name: The all-day burger:)

Celebrating Luke's 4th birthday!

Took a drive out Cooper Pt. road on Saturday (2/21) and saw this beautiful of the sound dotted with sail boats!

Catch-up time!

Wow - I can't believe our last post was for the 4th of July this year of 2014! We've done so many fun things since then. I guess what we'll try and do is post once a month with all the pictures we want to share! There are several major activities highlighted below in pictures: 1) trip to North Carolina in July to spend time with Zac, Joy and family and let them take a 2 day trip without the kids!; 2) Hosted Luke and Vincent here for a few days while Brigg and Havalah went hiking along the north Washington coast; 3) Trip to Megan and Jeremy's and watched their children for several days while they took a trip to Canada; 4) We were in charge of the ward day of service in September; 5) Jeremy had a dental conference at the Great Wolf Lodge so Scott got to spend some time with the family there; 6) Scott met his sisters in Utah in September to celebrate their Mom's 83rd birthday; 7) Halloween in Oregon with Megan and crew!! We've been busy and loved it all - so grateful we were able to spend some alone time with all of our grandchildren this summer - what a treat. We'll try and do better with postings.
