Oregon or bust!

We had a fabulous trip to Oregon for a family reunion back in June. We got so much done and made so many memories in such a short amount of time. I am so grateful for a fabulous family. Here are some of the things that we did...

We flew on an airplane...Jake was so excited!

We ran a Half Marathon...my first! (i didn't have my camera)

We visited the Oregon Coast

We ate at a cool resteraunt with the biggest table I have ever seen. Big enough to fit us all!

We went to a vacation home near Bend, OR

We got a little competative! The Lloydites vs. the Nantastics.

We hiked!

We celebrated Carrie's birthday...and got pedicures too!

We laughed and goofed around...a lot!

We swam in a fantastic pool!

We smiled!!

We strengthened relationships

We made bracelets and painted nails!

We took lots of pictures!

We relaxed and let our hair down!

We made memories that will last forever!

The Weather and a trip to the Enchanted Forest!

While we were in Oregon for our family reunion in June, Stephanie took the kids (and moms) on a tour of her News Studio at Fox where she is the Weather Reporter! We all had such a blast. She showed us what a typical day at work would be for her and how she uses all the equipment too. She let the kids practice being on the news. They were in heaven! Lets just say, they thought they were famous and felt so special having Steph show them around. She even, earlier in the week, put a picture of the cousins up while she was on air!

Following our visit with Steph we were headed off to play at the Enchanted Forest. Steph couldn't let the kids leave without a treat so she gave them all Black Forest(to have at the Enchanted Forest Ü)Gummi Bears for the trip. Stephanie is so thoughtful!

We had so much fun with Aunt Carrie and the cousins at the Enchanted Forest. I loved spending the day laughing with Carrie (we saw the creepiest children's play that was seriously bizarre...we couldn't stop busting up!) and watching the cousins make memories!
