Bridge Walk

The old Arch Bridge that crosses from Oregon City to West Linn is shut down for restoration for about the next 2 years. Before they closed it off completely they let everyone come walk across one last time. Turner and I went with Mom and Dad to see what it was like to walk across without any cars.





I'm pretty sure Turner had fun even though he pretended not to like it. He did get to stand in front of a police car for pictures!

Children's Museum

Just after Christmas we visited the Children's Museum in Portland. We met a friend of mine from high school and his family, he has kids about the same ages as Turner and Harley. It had been a long time since we were there last and even longer since I had seen Tim, it was really fun and great meeting his family! The kids loved the cow art just outside the front doors......


There was an exhibit with huge "linkin logs" so the kids could see what they could build. The boys teamed up to see what they could do with Turner's planning and Harley's brute force!




The water area is always the most fun at The Children's Museum! They love building waterways and dams. Harley really loved playing with his new friend Ethan.





Then there was the big "TV screen" that the kids can project their images onto a big screen, Harley and Ethan had to test that out together. You can see how wet Harley still was after the water play!





They also had fun with an over sized, lit up peg board that looked like a "Light Bright".
Once they found the room with the train sets and the emergency vehicles, all four kids were happy to play together.



By then all the kids (and the parents) were ready for naps!!! Overall it was a great day with friends and we can't wait to see the Stacy Family again!




Here are Kayden, Turner and Harley driving the ambulance!

Christmas 2010

So it has been WAY too long since I posted any updates on here! Here it is almost 2 months into 2011 and I haven't added our Christmas pictures! Christmas 2010 was wonderful but so very busy! We went on our annual Tree Hunt.....


















Turner and Harley made cookies with Oma and Papa this year! Harley watched Oma mix and roll and bake then Papa helped the boys decorate their gingerbread men!





We spent Christmas Eve with my Mom and Dad, Matt and Dawn, Lanny and Sue and Grandma Evelyn. It was a great evening with people we love.




Then, Christmas morning, right after seeing what Santa brought for the boys' stockings, we headed out the door for Grandma Diane's. We took a long detour to pick Devin's Dad, Don, but the long ride was a bit easier than usual since we borrowed my Dad's car (which is bigger than ours) and the boys got portable DVD players for Christmas.


Gram got a wii for Christmas from Carly and Dustin!! SO much fun, the boys LOVE it! And Carly got the flash she wanted for her camera and took some really great pictures of everyone. Here are a few.....
