Catching up

Just catching up on some pictures from the other weekend, Jer's boat that blew up, at the beach... and just some cute pictures of baby Hannah.

Grandpa's 90th Birthday!

Grandpa had so much fun during his party, actually teared up a few times.. what a sweet man. Mom had a plaque made for him at the new Veterans Memorial Park in old town, it's about hip high next to where the kids are standing, it meant SO much to him. Everyone had a blast, watched the Beavs on Saturday kick butt! Go Beavs!! Now I'm just enjoying a quiet Sunday without screaming kids, with the doors open enjoying the sound of the rain.

Good things are coming up....!

Well to start off with some good news, Dave got hired as a satellite installer starting at $30,000 a year with benefits! Finally! It's a company called LinkUs and they are starting a new office here in Florence with just 5 guys. This could not have happened at a better time, good things come to people who wait. :)
It looks like this weekend is going to another bash, my grandpa is turning 90!!! And still kicking like he was in his 50's, enjoying life and his independence. Family are already starting to arrive for the party on Saturday, don't worry... I will post some pictures of the cute old guy for everyone to see on Tuesday ( Monday is a holiday!!! Woohoo!!!). Here's a picture of gramps from he and Grandma's 60th wedding anniversary from last summer... he's so funny.

Baby Hannah!

Spent the weekend with the family, it was so much fun. Jeremy brought his boat out with the skis and tubes. I didn't go in the water though, WAYYYY too cold for that. Had some vandalism happen though on Saturday night, a group of drunk kids walked out on the dock and drank out there and tipped both the jet-skis over while tied up! And get this, the stupid morons actually left one of their sandals in the water and decided to come and find them in the morning with one shoe on!! Yea, you're obvious! Dad called the sheriff and is pressing charges on the kids, fortunately we know where they were staying and have run-ins with that house before. Stupid kids....
Baby Hannah is so dang cute! I love being an aunt. :)

Rejuvenated!

This weekend went just as planned if not better! The trip to Silver Falls was great and the temp never even went over 75 degrees thank goodness. Unfortunately our camera only worked long enough to get a couple shots, oh well. We had a good time spending time with his family and just being out of town together, I hope this is a good sign for us. Dinner at the Olive Garden was just as good as every other time, even better when you can fill up on salad and bread sticks and take your dinner home for a midnight snack. mmmm! :) The picture of the waterfall does NOT give it justice, it's so huge! That little trail down below actually has tons of people on it but we were up at the top of the fall so you can't see them very well.

Ready for the Weekend!

I'm so excited for all the things planned for this weekend! Tonight with the boy and maybe some light drinking at Meagan's. Tomorrow Dave and I are going to Silver Falls for his family reunion, if you've never been... THIS is the place to go to enjoy the beautiful outdoors and go for a little hike around some of the biggest waterfalls. I'll make sure to take pictures to post on Monday. Then a free dinner planned for the Olive Garden, thanks to Laurie! mmmm... i can taste the bread sticks already. Too bad they don't have the never ending pasta bowl until fall, shucks! haha. On Sunday I'm babysitting the Salyer girls, what little angels! Should be an action packed weekend, I'm really just excited to get out of town, seems like it's been forever! Hope everyone enjoys their couple days off, let's pray for actual sun.

Brother's housewarming

We went to Corvallis last Sunday for my brother's house warming for their new house, thank goodness I live here now and don't have to deal with the sweltering heat in the summer! I got to see my little neice Hannah again, she has grown so much! she's a little movie star with those cute glasses!

My Birthday- a little late posting i know

I finally got some of the pictures from my birthday on the computer! It was way back in June but that's okay, everyone loves pictures. :)mom and i got a little bit tipsy, can you tell? great food though, and my favorite.... ice cream cake meagan helped me cut. mmmmm good

Well I'm over halfway through with my vacation and I'm so not ready to go back. We've been having some rough times at home so I'm currently staying with the folks to get some space. I tell you though, I couldn't ask for a better getaway. Waking up every morning being able to look out over the lake and seeing the stars before going to bed, not mention the great weather. Anyways, I hope everyone's summer is going well, doing the things that you want....

Well the party went REALLY well, Dave said it was definitely the best birthday he's had and that it went by WAY too fast. *Time flies when you're having fun, right?!? :) We sent up a little dining fly with lights on the strings that fasten it to the ground to make sure anyone who had a little too much to drink would be able to see those, well.... the lights didn't help. TRUST ME!! ouch! :) A good time! Now... my birthday is coming up on the 17th, time to plan another party!
