Oregon Vacation

We visited my home in Oregon for Mike's week long "summer break". We attempted to take some family pictures but Mazy and Evey wouldn't smile....not even when bribed with CANDY!
Here's what we ended up with.


My sister was able to join us from Texas with her girls and Will and Marissa came down as well.



Super sweet!

Evey and Marta are 3 weeks apart.

We cooked out at 4 mile lake. It was lots of fun to roast dinner over the fire and throw rocks in the lake.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to the wonderful ladies at Park Forest who cleaned my house. I came home from Oregon at 1 AM today to find my apartment spotless! These gals did everything from cleaning my carpets to doing my laundry, a task above and beyond friendship. It has been aobut 10 weeks from my surgery and the recovery has left my house a filthy mess so I greatly appreciate it. No one besides family has helped me out like this before. So to all who helped out.....Thank you SO much!

Bows for Tori

Which one do you want for the dresses? I think I like the big gerber daisy for Marta and Evey, then get two smaller daisies for Emmaline and Mazy.
