Halloween 2010

Kaila spent her first Halloween in La Grande this year. I wanted to dress her up as a fairy and Joel wanted her to be a shark so we agreed to just have her wear a cute little pumpkin shirt and a pumpkin glitter bandana. Kai wanted to chase tay everywhere she went, but besides that, she did great all weekend. No accidents in the house, thank you Lord, and she was pretty well behaved. I think she had a great time with her cousin Taylor Ann :) Tay was the worlds most beautiful tinkerbell!!! Taylor dressed up as Tink this year and we had a blast spending time with Ryan, Jess and Tay for the weekend. We did a cool little trunk or treat at a local church, went to the annual "walk the streets of La Grande and get candy from the stores" event and Tay had a blast. Uncie Joel and Auntie Ashley love you big much skid ;)

Malibu 2010

Malibu was such an awesome trip this year! I was excited to see what the Lord would do in my ladies lives but I wasn't even thinking about the things He would do in mine! It was a week full of laughter, tears and intense bonding. The Lord showed me so much about myself and placed things on my heart that I need to adjust in my own life. I am so thankful to be a Young Life leader with this group of fabulous 16 year old girls! God is at work in our lives and it is such a blessing to see that!
Yeah for MALIBU 2010!!!!!!!!!!

3 years of Marital Bliss :)

These three years have been full of suprises, joy, tears, laughter, but most of all a friendship tighter that rope. You are my best friend Joel and I don't know how I found someone that truly is my other half. I'll love you forever :)

4th of July

We spent the weekend of the 4th at the coast and it was a rainy weekend! As you can tell by the pictures below the 3rd was a beautiful day and Kaila had her 1st beach experience. She loved the sand and of course digging in it. The 4th was a rainy day! We went to the Parade in the midst of showers and then down to the beach for some fireworks. It was all in all a fun weekend spent with family :)

Joel's Graduation Party

Joel and Julie both finished school this spring so Debbie and John had a party for them. I didn't get any pictures of the party but I did get some of the dog :) Congrats Joel, you are finally done with College - WAY TO GO!
