Bridal Veil Falls

S had so much fun playing with baby Joneaux,

and I'm pretty sure baby Joneaux had fun too!

The girls had their turn with him too!

My crazy boy. This water was FREEZING. But, that didn't stop him. He jumped right in and went all the way under. He is such a water boy. If there's water, he's in it. Cold or hot it doesn't matter, the boy loves to be wet and splashing!

King, Queen, Jack?

This boy of mine is something else. I love him to pieces. He's always climbing something, getting wet, exploring, building, doing all things boy! Yesterday we were eating dinner and talking about our beds. He asked me if my bed was a queen, I said yes. Then he asked, "So, is mine a jack?" This boy is always thinking about things and asking questions and wanting to learn. If there are king-sized beds and queen-sized beds, then why shouldn't there be a jack? I never thought of it that way, but he's right, why isn't there a jack?

Dance

M and her friend from dance put on a "dance" class for some girls. They met for like 6 weeks and then put on a mini recital. They made up several different dances, had the girls tye dye some shirts, made invitations, and put the whole thing on themselves. They did a pretty good job and were very excited to show the parents what they'd accomplished.

M did a solo. She is turning into a very good dancer.

It's been so fun for me to watch her and see her progress in her dancing.

This was J's group. They did a cute little dance. J also did a little solo.

After all the dances, we had refreshments. It was a great success!

Pete's Hole 2010

Last month we went camping with some friends. We went to Pete's Hole for the second time. We always have such a great time together. This will be a camping trip we never forget because it rained and rained and rained. But, come rain or shine we still had loads of fun!

Somen Salad, Sooooo Good

I got this yummy recipe for somen salad from my cute sister. I made it years ago and then forgot about it until now. So, I made it tonight and it was soooo good! The kids all loved it!

T and T

Too cute for words!

Meeting Reggie!!

One of the first things we did when we got home from Oregon was went to meet Reggie!

What a cute little boy!! We all had to take turns holding him. I'm already in love!

We just couldn't get enough of him!

Gross picture of me, but adorable picture of Reggie!

More Oregon Fun

Oregon was such a blast!! We did a ton of fun things like swimming,

going to Six Flags in and watching the dolphins,

riding lots of rides,

hanging out with cousins,

and friends,

and getting wet.

We went to a water park

and got plenty of sun.

We spent time dancing,

rockin' out,

puttinig on plays,

going to a squirt park,

having a water balloon fight,

and enjoying some lunch.

The kids all had a wonderful time with their cousins. I think they made some wonderful memories that they will always cherish. It was so great to be able to spend time with family!

M turned 11!

We celebrated M's11th birthday in Oregon. She had a lot of fun. Her "aunts" gave her some money to go on a shopping spree with her big cousin Emma. They had a lot of fun together, and got some really cute stuff. That evening we had a family dinner, opened gifts, and had cake. I can't believe how fast she is growing up. She is such a sweet girl and is always looking out for others. I feel blessed to be her mother. She is an amazing daughter!

Medford Oregon Temple

I went to the temple yesterday, and it was wonderful. It was so peaceful and renewing. I love that I can go to any temple and feel loved by the people there and to be able to bring myself closer to the Lord. What a wonderful place to be!

Baby Reggie!!!!

My nephew was born at 12:36 a.m.!

Reggie Menna Barreta Foz Correa

What a cutie! Congrats to Ange and Yoho!

We are so glad he's here and can't wait to meet him.

And M is so glad to share a birthday with him!

Boating

Today we went boating, What a blast!!

J really wanted to drive, so she got a small turn.

S also got a turn at the wheel.

Emma and J on the tube.

Jared with Josh and T!

Chillin' on the boat with Aaron.

Girlies

We had tons of fun on the boat today. We did a lot of tube runs in many different combinations. Jared and I went out together. I was a little nervous at first, I always get that way, but it ended up being a blast! We went a couple times, and then let the kids go and go and go!

Silly Girls

Cute,
crazy,

silly!

These 3 are having such a blast together.

Oregon Caves, Oregon Coast, and Pizza

Yesterday was such a busy day. We started off driving to the Oregon caves.

This root is inside the caves. It is the longest root in the world. CRAZY!

Some stalagmites inside the cave. They call this formation the banana groves. Kind of funny.



After that we jumped back in our cars, and headed to the coast. The water was freezing, but it surely didn't stop S. I think he was the only one who went all the way in.

It's gorgeous there.

It was very windy which wasn't too wonderful, but we all still had a great time!

Cute girls!

T found some kind of disgusting thing and pretended to eat it.

Girl cousins, enjoying some water.

Once we were done with the wind and cold water, we went out and ate some delicious pizza!
