Sunriver











We just got back from a great week at Sunriver! This year my sister and her family joined us as well so we had twice the fun (and more than twice the kids)! We swam, soaked up the sun, read books, played golf, rode bikes, ran marathons and triathalons, went to museums, saw the deepest lake in the United States, stayed up late, colored mandalas, ate junk food and lots of pork tacos, changed lots of diapers, sang karaoke, practiced driving, got dizzy at the park, watched lots of Barney, played guitar hero, went white water river rafting, and my sister even got hit by a drunk driver on her way home! (they are all ok!) Yes, I think we did it all! Thanks to the Seals for meeting us "half-way" for this awesome week - it was great to have the cousins together for that time.

This trip was so much fun with your family. Thanks for all the yummy meals and dishwashing you did. Next trip together I hope to have my arms and hands a little less occupied. The only thing I could think of that you didn't mention was the first aid we were able to administer to Ryan, but other than that I think you covered it all. Even though changing lots of diapers isn't really anything new or different for me. Great memories and fun!!

What a fun and busy week you must have had. Did you ever get a chance to just rest?
The cousins must have loved spending so much time together. What wonderful memories for both families.

Paris

So here is a look at our trip to Paris.  It might be more than most of you care to read!  I just copied and pasted emails we sent home while on our trip.  This is more for my benefit than anyone else's since this blog is the closest I have come to keeping a journal.  Hope you enjoy the journey- we sure did! View from our Seine River Cruise Day One We have the tiniest little room way up at the very top of a very narrow skinny hotel. It reminds us of the love dungeon (our first basement apartment) but it is up at the top so we called it our "love tower"! The bed is a double and you can only stand up straight in the room if you are standing on Scott's side of the bed! The tub is half size (I think they made it for Napoleon).  But I slept great. The weather was amazing! After getting in it was too early to get our room so we left our bags at the hotel and walked around for about an hour while waiting to meet up with the Parkers again. We were in the Plaza of San Mic

Kid's Choice

Scott had the whole week of Christmas off from work. We have never had a week off from school and work and just stayed home! We didn't know what to do with ourselves. We decided each child could choose a family activity to do each day. Day #1 Will's Choice: Chuck E. Cheese Day #2 Cassidy's Choice: Dinner at Old Spaghetti Factory Day #3 Layton's Choice: Rock and Mineral Museum Day #4 Kennedy's Choice: Scavenger Hunt We divided into two teams: Team 1 was Scott, Cassidy, Karsyn and Layton; Team 2 was Heidi, Kennedy and Will. Kennedy made us a list of everything we needed to do and find. The team that did it the fastest got one bonus point. Additional bonus points were awarded for certain items. Here are just a few of the things we had to do...... *Take a picture of someone in a shopping cart *Take a picture of the most random item you can find (we totally won a bonus point for this!) *Take a picture of everyone playing an instrument at the music store *Get a picture

Memorable highlights and sayings from 2007

January Highlight: Staying at our friends cabin up by Mt. St. Helens. Just a quick drive up the mountain and we had plenty of snow for sledding and great views of St. Helens. January Quote: Scott and I were in the car with Cassidy. I was complaining about how tired I had been. It didn't see m to matter if I slept 4 hours or 8 hours, I always felt tired. Cassidy who had been relatively quiet up till this point pipes up and says, "maybe you are going through menopause." Scot t and I started laughing and then Cassi dy admitted she didn't even know what that meant, she had just heard it in "F ather the Bride II". (by they way, we believe it is due to sleep apnea, not menopause!) February Highlight: Hosting two BYU Young Ambassadors in our home for a couple days while they performed in the Portland area. February Quote: A fter rushing to find Will's shoes before leaving to r un errands he tells me, "Befo re we go to heaven, we need to remember to put o
