Overnight on the Columbia

October 28, 2011 - We went up to the Columbia Gorge Riverside Lodge with Grandma. Beautiful location right on the river with gorgeous views!
This is one way for the boys to wake up Daddy (who can't be seen, because they're on top of him).
Our cabin overlooked the river and had a private soaking pool on the back porch, where we spent the evening and morning hours.
In the afternoon we spent time playing on the grounds behind our cabin.
The boys spent their energy running, jumping and collecting shells.
Hanging out on the pier.
The beautiful views of the drive home.
R: Josh's favorite viewpoint in Washington is now "closed".
Such a shame that it can no longer be enjoyed.

Party time!

October 27th, 2011 - Versii celebrated his friend Erika's birthday in style.
Erika's the blonde at the head of the table. She's just like Versii, but a girl version. I just think these pictures are so sweet.

Sweet Smiles

October 26, 2011 - Kaden & Versii proudly showing off the volcano they made in their sandbox. Meanwhile, Paxton was inside playing guitar with Daddy.

Happy Birthday Joshua!

October 20, 2011
Happy 31st Birthday Joshua!
We love you!
One of Josh's favorite desserts is pumpkin roll.
So we had pumpkin roll instead of cake.

Pumpkin Carving

October 17, 2011 - Carving our pumpkin. Each boy had their own, but we decided to carve just one this year.
Kaden did a lot of the carving himself.
A preview of the boys costumes. They were so excited they didn't want to wait for Halloween.

Fun at the Zoo

October 14, 2011 - Kaden had the day off of school, so we all went to the zoo.
Kaden's almost as tall as a Sun Bear.



Riding the zoo train.

Lego Kingdom at the Children's Museum

October 14, 2011 - Portland Children's Museum.
Every time we go to the Children's Museum, the boys love to see the train.
The temporary exhibit at the museum is Lego Kingdom. And my boys love Lego's!
I think Paxton and Versii most enjoyed the slide.
Kaden's favorite Lego creation is this dragon!
The boys engaging in a friendly jousting match.
Kaden had so much fun climbing along this wall.
Paxton loves to climb...anytime, anywhere! And he was obsessed with carrying around this dog.
