Procession of the Species

We went to The most fabulous and crazy parade we have ever been to. It is called procession of the species. It is done in celebration of earth day and began here in Oly and now there are processions all over the world. It was so crazy, there were amazing floats (non-motorized of course), dancers, people dressed up in all kinds of costumes, drummers and you name it. The boys really loved it. Before the parade began people brought a bunch of chalk and let everyone draw all over the road. It was really cool. Any way here are some photos. Just another thing to add to the uniqueness of oly.

Gabriel's Second

Gabriel-Jude's Birthday was so much fun. We had it at a local park in oly and invited the family and a couple of friends. He was having so much fun. He fell asleep as soon as he hit the carseat. It was a really great day. We are so thankful to everyone who was there for making his day really wonderful!

Heaven close to home

If we could have heaven close to home it would be here at watershed park. Just about two miles from our house is an amazing little paradise. Birds, little critters, flowers and much more make this one of our fav places in oly. We feel pretty lucky to have such a beautiful place practically in our back yard.

Our Crazy Little Family!

Crazy Weather

Funny thing weather is. Saturday was a BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAY. We went to the park and played in the sun (cold though). Then the very next day we woke up to snow. We didn't know it snowed much in Oly. But apparently it does. We enjoyed it.

Masen waited until he saw me open my eyes and he came and said "Mom, close your eyes I have a surprise I want to show you." so he walked me to the window at the top of the stairs and said "Open your eyes" I opened and saw snow on the ground and fluffy snowflakes flurrying around. He was so excited he threw on his snow clothes and went outside to slide around before breakfast. Gabriel had fun too, but he wasn't as eager to go out. Clarence on the other hand couldn't wait to romp around in the snow.

Things are great for us here. We are really feeling at home and school is going fantastically for Shaun. He is finding everything he dreams up at Evergreen. Our kind a place!

We are so excited for the holidays everday gets closer and more exciting. I hope you are as excited as we. We love everyone and wish you all a very happy holidays!!!!!!!

Decorating for Christmas

Christmas is here ALMOST! We had a lot of fun choosing a christmas tree from Hunter's Local Tree Farm. We got a beautiful Noble Fir. Probably the most beautiful tree we have had yet.
We all had a good time decorating the tree while Gabriel had a good time knocking them off. We listened to Christmas music and had a nice warm fire. The tree really makes it feel like Christmas. A feeling we all love and wait for all year long. It helps us think of all the great memories we have from when we were kids decorating the trees with our parents and brothers and sisters. All Good Memories.

We would like to wish everyone a safe and wonderful christmas season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
