Matt's Wedding

We went to Houston for Matt and Mandy's wedding. It was wonderful. Matt is a lucky man. The wedding was on Friday May 28th at the Houston LDS Temple. The reception was in Katy Texas and it was beautiful. Our entire family was able to attend.

Our son Steven got engaged! He took his girlfriend Raime to Multnomah Falls and proposed. He gave her a lovely ring. Raime was completely surprized. The big day is July 10th 2010. Yes, that means we will have two weddings this summer. It will be great.

SURPRISE! Matt is engaged. He is getting married on May 28, 2010 in Houston Texas. His fiance is Amanda. Pam went to Texas last week to meet her. Amanda is deligthful. Matt is a lucky man.

Holiday Gathering

We enjoyed the holiday season this year. We had all our children together for one day. This picture was taken on that day December 26th 2009. We think we all look pretty good. Believe it or not this picture was taken in our garage by our talented son-in-law Nathan.

Here are pictures from Orcas Island.

Orcas Island Anniversary Trip

We celebrated our 31st anniversary by taking a trip by ferry to Orcas Island, Washington. Orcas Island is one of the San Juan Islands. We took our bikes and went biking. We loved the view from Mt Constitution, we could see for miles and miles. We stayed in a cabin in a place called Doe Bay. We did see lots of very tame deer during our stay. If you want a quiet vacation in beautiful surroundings we recommend it highly.

Labor Day at the Beach

We spent Labor Day Weekend at the Oregon Coast in Ocenside, which is west of Tillamook. We stayed in a really nice 3 bedroom house. The weather was beautiful!!! Steven is demonstrating how to spend a vacation, notice the view from the windows. I drove my car very close to my son-in-law's car so I could touch hands with my grand son Jared. We both thought it was fun to do. We had a sand building contest. Both sand castles were eventually destroyed by the waves, but they were great structures while they lasted. We had fun playing games and enjoying time together.
