White Christmas..

We drove up to Portland on Sunday to have Chritmas with my Grandparents who flew up from California. Of course it happened to be in the middle of a winter storm!! The snow was around 4 or 5 inches up there. The kids were very excited until there got out there in the freezing cold and the wind hit them. We didn't make it home until Monday becuase of the roads, a normal 1 hour drive turned into 3 hours! We took a detour and avoided the freeway which is where the photo of the tree is from. I loved the snow and sunset!

Photos with Great Grandma and Great Grandpa!

Isn't it pretty??

Christmas Tree Time!!

We went out to the Christmas tree farm on Saturday and found our tree. The kids seemed to emjoy it, even though it was freezing!! Kajsa was very excited, and loved decorating the tree. Kamden loves "un-decorating" the tree.. :) -Some photos of the day!

Precious Portraits

Hey all! I have been so busy lately with Precious Portraits! It is good, and i love it, but it has been a challenge ballancing everything. It feels like I could work for two days straight and not be caught up! The part that has made it most difficult is taking on two preschool/day care centers in Corvallis that each have over 50 kids. The logistics of keeping track of the paperwork and photos for all of those kids has been a nightmare! Plus this is the first time i have ever done anything like this so I am trying to learn as I go. Hopefully all the work figuring out a system will be pay off next year if we are invited back, I certainly learned a lot! The kids range from birth to 5, so we really had to work hard, this is were Robyn is priceless. Her job is to get kids comfertable and relaxed and make them smile, which usally means she is dancing around making a fool of herself. :) The kids love her though, and we get good pictures because of it. Just catching everyone up, I need to get the kids breakfast. Love you all!

Trick-or-Treat

So we went trick-or-treating for the first time.. Kamden didn't quite get it, he liked taking the candy, but didn't want to put it in the bucket.. :) Kajsa had it down, and was having fun, and Nadine (The blond one in the photo that isn't ours except on Monday's and Fridays) who is 2, enjoyed it too, and would knock on the door and say "HELLO!" It was pretty funny, and the kids brought back a good deal of candy even just walking around the block.

Carving Pumpkins

Kamden and Kajsa both had fun carving pumkins.. kamden needed a bath when we were done!

Catching Up

Hello all.. It has been quite a long time, but I was motivated today to catch up a little bit.. I tried to sign in to post some photos, and realized I didn't remember my user name or password, so it took me the last 30 minutes to finnaly figure it out!! Anyway, I am posting a photo of the entire process of our house being built.. :)

A New House!

Yeah, yeah, it's been a while, sorry. For those of you who don't know, we bought a new house! Well, actully, we bought a lot, and they are building the house. I will try and post photos as it gets built!

Snow Day!

We got some snow yesterday, as well as some on Thursday. Kajsa loved playing in the snow!!
