Having taken hundreds of pictures, how do I decide what to blog?
Here goes....
On the Road
I coerced the boys to pose at the one of the rest stops we made.
Henry's House
Henry, Katie & Garrett, our youngest three grands, in very different stages of development.
The next morning, Further illustration of the differences in these 3 born within the last year. Henry turns 1 on Aug 17th, Katie just turned 5 months and Garrett was 2 months old the day this was taken.
A milestone for Katie... day two of cereal. YUM! She looks like a pro.
Traditional stop in the Wallas.
I think there has been only one time when we were in town and didn't make it to the Ice-Burg.
Rowan was there with us for the first time. Henry looks like he's been there before. At least it looks like he knows the ropes.
Pendleton Water Park
Cam spent the last hour we were there going down one and then the other waterslide.
Hitting the Road
Lyssa and Logan were on the final leg of their holidays and left early Saturday evening in order to get home by midnight. I took a picture of Lyssa with our dear friend Lauren. Kiel and Cherise rent their apartment from her and she's been a wonderful mentor and friend to Cherise. I also took a quick picture of Rowan's new bike before they drove off. It's pretty cool if you ask me!
Dedication of Henry Owen
Kiel and Cherise stood before their friends and family and dedicated their Henry to God. Journey Church is a great place for their family at this time. I feel that it is one of the most "well watered" places in Walla Walla. Such a refreshing fellowship.
Happy 1st Birthday
Since it was the weekend it was the ideal time to have an early birthday party for Henry. He is turning one this week.
His Momma made him some super healthful carrot cake cupcakes and he took to them quite quickly.
Beautiful women of God, Sarah, Olivia and Lauren with baby Garrett just before we headed back to Portland.
Boys n the Country
Perhaps Garrett may become one but I doubt my boys will ever be country boys.
I may have taken the boys out of the city but it would take some doing to take the city out of these boys. The closer we got to Portland the more Hayden commented on all the things he loves about it. He wants to do some traveling but everywhere he mentions going is a large urban area.
We appreciated the time away and enjoyed the grandeur
of the gorge. It's nice to be reminded that there is a great big world out there and it truly is AWE inspiring!

looks like an awesome family gathering in walla walla.
katie and i have a secret: i totally slipped her some mashed potatoes while she was at our house. she loved them and smacked her lips for more! :) glad the rice cereal went over well!
Too funny Lindsey! I don't think she is going to object to food in any shape or form. Henry hasn't run across a food he doesn't love yet.
