The three cousins!

As soon as we got home from our trip out to the left side of the coast, we were greeted by Ben, Nicole, Alex, and Mikey. Ben was taking his first official "business trip" to do some work on both our house and Mom's house. It was the best of both worlds because we got to spend time with family and also get some excellent work done on our house. Ben was able to put new flooring in our kitchen and take the wall down between our family room and kitchen, to make one nice BIG room. We are very satisfied customers and already have plans for his next trip out!

February trip to Oregon

We had quite a trip out to Oregon this February. As you can see from the pictures, we were able to enjoy both the winter weather, and the gift of some really nice spring weather. Among all of the time we were able to spend time with friends and family, we also went downhill skiing, cross county skiing, snow shoeing, and hiking. Kellen was able to join us on the last two activities and was quite a sport! He definitely loved being outdoors. Kellen also grew a very strong attachment to my Dad's dog, Hazel. In fact, Kellen has now added 'doggie' and 'woof woof' to his vocabulary.
