Washington - Oregon Reunion

We had an amazing time in Oregon and Washington for the past two weeks. We spend a week with my parents in Medford, then we drove to Seattle for sightseeing, then to Port Townsend, WA for our families reunion. It was sooooo nice, with average highs of 67 degrees! Beats the 114 in Phx!

Goat Milk

So our friends hve goats, and they have lots and lots of milk. So while they are on vacation we have the honor of milking them twice a day. Here are a few pictures of the process.

Ward Campout

This past weekend was our Ward's Campout, Jen decided to be daring and went up Tuesday with all the kids. She camped with a few other families until I joined them on Friday night. The kids loved it! It was so nice and cool, it's just fun to get away! Anybody wanna join us in about a month or so?

Breakfast in Bed

Well, we told Sydney that if she ever slept in until 7 we would serve her breakfast in bed. Wouldn't ya know it, two days later she did. She usually gets up at 6, so we were a little surprised, but we kept our promise.

Hot Momma!

Here is a picture of Jen's new hair do!
