I finally have a BLOG!

I have wanted to have a blog for a long time but just haven't taken the time to do it, until now. So many of my family and friends have great blogs and I decided it was time to join the club, plus I think I'm about the last person alive that doesn't have one!
I hope you will enjoy keeping in touch with our family as you read our blog. So this is what we have been up to...

Recently Josh and I returned from Vacation to the Redwood National Forest in Northern California. It was so beautiful.

Look closely Josh is standing at the base of this tree. It is called "THE BIG TREE." I sure it must have taken quite awhile to think of what to call it!

There is even a place in the Redwoods where they filmed parts of Jurasic Park and parts of Star Wars.

After the redwoods we traveled all along the Oregon coast. The beaches were my favorite part.

This was our hotel room one night and yes, that is the ocean out our window! In the hotel room there was a sign that read, "READ THIS IT MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE." It was about what to do in the case of a Tsunami. It said that if there was an earthquake in Alaska or somewhere other then Oregon we would have a few hours to gather our things and evacuate BUT in the case that there was an earthquake there basically we should drop our things and run! That left me sleeping a little uneasy.

After 2100 miles of driving we made it home. I would like to say that our children were thrilled to see us, but they had had to much fun staying with both grandma's that they were alittle disappointed to learn they had to sleep at our house now.

The other night we went to the pumkin patch, it was getting dark so the pictures aren't that great but we had a fun time.
