Candy down in Newport. Since we didn't see any sea lions we had to buy their affections.
We climbed to the top of one of Multnomah's Falls. The other was a 1 mile hike; not really for me. Maybe if I didn't have a thyroid problem.
That's a Rastafarian back there. 
I don't know what that building is or what that lady is doing.
Rob and the twins in the building where the green dinosaur was on the Amazing Race.
Coming down from the lighthouse.
So to summarize, we're having fun, you look young.
Look at these little doll faces.
Man, can I take a nature picture or what?? What did you say Kevin? If you want to frame this picture I don't blame you, just let me know.
6 kids in one picture = a small miracle.
That's Yenner's rear there, in case you couldn't tell. In other news, we didn't see any sea creatures this time but we did see 6 deer on the way home on the side of the road and they weren't even dead (yet).
P.S. If you would take a look at the sidebar I've added a new feature to my wildly popular blog. It's called Deep Thoughts by Jayden (believe me there are many). I will add to it as Jayden blows our minds with his deep thoughts.
On our way to OR we stopped to pick up our Sacramento friends, the Pischke's, and went to a fun water park where Yenner ripped his toe open. No worries, nothing a little ice cream and a band aid won't fix (not necessarily in that order). This post is out of chronological order, please don't judge me.
Wasn't I just here in OR?? I might as well just move here I come so often (don't pee your pants Momma, I'm just kidding). It is lovely here and considering that Landscatter is like 150 degrees right now, there's no place I'd rather be. We are having some good times and hoping for no urgent care visits this time (one can only hope). This post is for you Momma, hope you enjoy and love you.
The children just love Uncle Christer. They say "Uncle Christer is funny." Now that's a huge compliment when you consider how goofy these dudes are.
Rob is of course training them up in the way they should go with his Bible Application on the iphone. You'd think I was selling the iphone the way I keep endorsing it on my blog; I'm not, really.
Christer makes stuff up. It says so on his shirt. Yes, Christer is also gifted comically (in case you were wondering). If only he had the looks like I do. P.S. I had just finished VBS for the week. That explains the shirt and the haggard look on my face. 
Aren't all these boys just so handsome?? Say yes.
These are a few of the boy's favorite things to do right now. Here we have child A twisting the swing until child B is close to not being able to breathe. Child A then releases child B to spin into nausea until he can't spin anymore. They love this.
This is just a little something Jaydie whipped up in hopes of climbing up to the roof. Clever, huh??
Yenner had a run in with a piece of gum and this was the result. He cried like a little girl when I cut it out.
The slide that's built in with the swing set didn't do enough for Jaydie I guess, so he fashioned a new way to slide (and by slide I mean plummet) down that gives him a bit more of a rush.
You have just witnessed (in pictures) a day in the life of me and my three boys. Do you pray enough for me?? It's really shocking to me that we haven't had more ER visits. Something to look forward to I guess.
I know it looks like he has that Awana ribbon look on his face but he really is in love with it.
Well Jaydie has arrived, as far as baseball goes. He finally brought home the trophy. After the whole Awana ribbon scandal, we wondered if we would ever have that golden goodness in our home. Our cute boy was slightly giddy when he took home the trophy for being MVP. He is now happy as pie just to take it outside so it can "sparkle" in the sun. What can I say, the boy has a thing for bling.
Nolie and Nicole have the same first and middle initials so they will probably get married. We're writing up the paperwork now.
These are footprints in the sand. Artistic, huh??
The boys with their new sister right after Rob told them that we could keep Daisy. They are all smitten, especially Rob....go figure.
"Hold on a sec, Daisy. Let's see what happens when I poke your eyeball."
Apparently we got a dog and it's a girl. So I am officially not the only female in the house. I guess we figured that since our twin puppies were potty trained that we could handle another potty training adventure. I don't know if any of you remember the whole rubber chicken fiasco but hopefully the twins have matured enough to know not to have a repeat offense with the dog. She is the most laid back dog I have ever seen. Sometimes you forget she's even here. Perfect fit for possibly the most lazy pet owners you may ever meet. Come on over and meet our newest family member. Bring presents (for me, not the dog).
