New pics

Brooke actually posted this! I am so proud of her. Maybe next time she will write some comments to go along with the pictures!

That's my boy!

Ethan is learning at a young age! I actually wouldn't let him go to bed with the new ball in his bed, but after lights out he quickly got it and slept with it in his bed. He takes it to bed now every night. Any time a ball is around Ethan is the first to get it and won't let anyone else touch it.

I do have to say my boys are some crazy sleepers. They sleep in all kinds of positions and are constantly moving around. I go in multiple times a night to move them back onto the bed. Ethan doesn't even stop at night in his sleep! Quite the busy little boy.

OBOB & Silver Falls

The Thunderstruck Geckos!

Ethan was in there for about 5 seconds before we realized he had to go in the hall and wait.

Avery had her OBOB competition in Salem on Saturday and her team did fantastic. They earned enough points in the first two rounds to get to the finals. Unfortunately they lost their first match and were out of the competition. The Thunderstruck Geckos did great! To make it to the top 8 teams in the state is amazing.

After the competition we went with the Hansen family to hike Silver Falls. It was beautiful! It is about a five mile loop with two water falls. The kids were real troopers. I had Ethan in the backpack and Liam did well while he was hiking. He only got tired at the end and I had to carry both of them up the hill. Brooke and I realized we need to do more hiking this summer.



Ethan didn't stay out of the backpack for too long.

Liam and Bennett having fun.
