More Fun in Oregon

Here are some more pictures from our adventures in Oregon. This first one was blatantly stolen from my sister's blog. Sorry, Ruth!! But you take a nice picture! Here we all are at my sister's house in Vancouver. It was fun to hang out with them...and hopefully we'll do it again at Christmas! See how excited Anna is?

Here are the kids "raking" up some leaves at Grandma and Grandpa Guptill's house. We didn't have much of a yard in Okinawa so this was SUPER exciting for them. Also they don't know much about raking up leaves so I think they did more spreading around than raking up. I tried to undo the damage they did, but not sure it did any good.

Anna ran and ran...it was just too exciting! They especially loved when Uncle Cody came outside to play with them. Anna kept telling me she pinched his nose. Poor Uncle Cody!

Matthew being industrious.

And more running. I only had to stop them from turning the hose on themselves once. That's what they like to do when we play on the balcony in Okinawa. But it was also above 80 there...and 40s here. They are still learning about cold. Anna never wants to wear her coat and Matthew has started to fight me on wearing pants. We've been having a few more clothing struggles lately (SERENITY NOW!!). :(

Here's Matthew holding baby Olivia, his little cousin, who just turned three months old. She was very tolerant of the other little people holding her.

And here's Anna after her haircut. She hasn't been pulling her hair out as much post-haircut, so I'm hopeful we can put that behind us! We had a lot of fun in Oregon and I didn't even get pictures of it all...will have to be more diligent with the camera next time. And now, on to Colorado!

Anna's hair cut is really cute. I like your new blog header. How did you make it - photoshop?

Yeah, photoshop using a frame from designer digitals. I'll probably redo it once I get a better Colorado picture.
