Halloween - Thanksgiving - Christmas = Genius!

So it is no secret that I am no avid blogger. So here are just a few snap shots from the last few months.
Check out this perfect white christmas, Bing Crosby type of bridge! It screams Christmas! We found this bridge while out and about looking for a christmas tree.


We were lucky enough to go home for Thanksgiving and spend some time with the fam.


My mom and grandma are playing the famous duet 'sleigh bells' Apparently I will be wearing glasses when I am older. :)


Halloween - Kylee made a gorgeous snow white and loved trick or treating with her friends Brady and Taylor. Carving pumpkins was lots of fun, but there was no way Kylee was sticking her hands in the pumpkin to pull out the 'guts'

Crater Lake

We decided to go out for one last adventure since school is starting tomorrow. We went to a place called Crater Lake.

This place is amazing!

The edge was a straight drop off. Scary! I had a death grip on Kylee the whole time!

Jeremy livin on the edge. Aarg!

We tagged along with Chris and Patience. It was nice to have some good campfire talk and games!

If you look closely you can see two little dots at the bottom of this lame waterfall. (Chris & Jer)

Pre-Fontain Run

So for the last few months I have been TRYING to run a few miles every other day in order to prepare to run the pre fontain. Jeremy however has not been training and was able to run, uphill, pushing Kylee in the stroller and finished just a few minutes behind me. AS IF! He said it is because he is a 'jock' whatever that means?


We were lucky enough to run it with our friends Lane and Erin!

The run was at a place a few hours north so we decided to take the camper and stay over night at a place called sunset bay. This was our view from our trailer. Almost.

Bear Lake Trip

A Life Well Lived

Royden K Arnell
Oct. 4 1951 - Sep. 1 2009
Royden you will forever be missed! You were an amazing father, Papa, friend, brother, and husband. We love you and know that you are close by.

Thank you for all your calls, cards, flowers, and support!

The Life!!

So we took the trailer to a place called Emigrant Lake over the weekend. Kylee was an absolute angel (for the most part) She loves to play in the sand, which makes it very enjoyable for Jer and I!


Look at Ky just sitting in a chair patiently waiting for dinner. AMAZING!


Jer enjoying the best watermelon EVER!


We are suppost to be mermaids, but I think I look more like a hammer head shark!

Kylee the 2 year old

So Kylee loves, loves, loves to do things that you ask her everyday not to do. Every time she does something she is not suppost to, I ask her how old she is so I can be reminded that she won't stay 2 forever.
This is here classic pose when asked to smile for the camera.

Whether we are coloring or painting, the art project never seems to make it to the paper. There seems to always be more exciting things to color like the table, cabinets, floor, or her fingers.

Kylee has an ENDLESS fasination with the bathroom sink.


See how happy the little terd is after I asked her to stop washing her hair in the bathroom sink! 2years old. Gotta love her!

Our Recent Purchase!

Well I am happy to announce that Jeremy has become a MAN. He just bought his first truck and is like a little school boy again when he drives it! We splurged some more and bought a trailer to go with our truck. Here are some pics of our first camping trip to Loon Lake.


Nothing like cleanin up the pooper!

Trip back home

We are so lucky and so blessed to be able to go home and spend some time with our friends and family! It was an awesome trip!!Here are just a few pics.

Fam in town

Jer's parents were able to come out and hang with us last week. It was so much fun having Nana, Papa, and Mara around. It was an amazing week, thanks so much you guys!!

Any Sunday Activity Ideas??

Well what else is there to do on a Sunday but go for long walks, drives, and eat lots of food??? So of course we packed up the car and headed toward the river. After a little hike we came to this beautiful waterfall.

Kylee is way excited to go "hiken" as she would say.


Jeremy throught he saw something under the rock and lifted it up to take a gander. What a man!!

BOYS TRIP/ GIRLS TRIP

Jeremy is planning on a "guys trip" August 6-8 in Bear Lake Idaho. He is trying to get a head count for those who are "in" so we can make some reservations for a cabin. So let us know if you plan on coming!

So I thought it would be a great time to get the girls together also! SO listen up, if you are a wifey to a bear lake boy, a high school friend, or some random mom who wants a break.....Then plan on meeting up at good Ol La Beau's August 8(friday) for a day at the beach!! Let me know!!!

The last few months

OK, so it is no joke that I absolutely suck at blogging. Since I update about every few months, I decided this time I would put everything in one big post. So here you go....
This is Cooper's 1st birthday. He liked his cake, just a little. (May, 19 :)
The cake was a hit. Apparently!

This was everyone who came to celebrate little Coop's B-day. These guys have been so awesome to open their door to us and treat us like family! We love our Oregonians!!

Up the canyon for a little cook out. It was raining of course, but lots of fun!! This pic is so funny to me because Kylee looks like some sort of cartoon character off the Grinch.

Eatin some yummy smores

For Memorial day we drove to Portland and spent a few days with our friends the Teuscher's. It was lots of fun with good food and a trip to the zoo.

DOES LIFE GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS??? Picture this....A beach, friends, free food, and no kids. Yep, it sounds like a dream to good to be true. Jeremy and his partner were top salesman of the year and were awarded a free, all expense trip to Amelia Islands. So we dropped the kiddo off with my mom and set sail. Kylee loved playing with her Nana all weekend long, and Jeremy and I enjoyed every minute we got to spend with each other. Thanks mom for helping take care of Kylee! Way to go Jer, we are so proud of you and all your amazing accomplishments!!

Enjoying some pool time with our friends Lane and Erin. Smoothie anyone??

Each afternoon the sun would disappear and these scary black clouds would roll in. Very romantic. Yeah I know...Bow chic a bow wow. J/K

And if all this was not enough, we had the opportunity to go with our friends and go horse back ridding along the beach. Help yourself!!
