He's 12!

 We celebrated Harrison's 12th birthday today. I really can't belive it. 

 Harrison  loves to entertain. 

 Being the center of attention is not for him. At least that is what he says. Don't believe him for a minute. 

 A brighter book light

 Harrison loves this gift, as do the rest of the kids. 

 Fianlly a bike that fits him. 

Snow Day!

We woke up to snow coming down and a two hour delay. 

The delay turned out to be a cancelled day of school. 

Hazel is feeling better. Gavin is on the mend too. We have been working on Harrison's diorama for Greek Fest. It's been a good day to be home. 

Aaron did have to go into work but is getting so much done,

Bowling Cousins

We met Dawn, Alice and Carter at the bowling alley. Harrison, Graham and Hazel were so excited to spend some time with cousins. They had such a great time!

Miniature Golf

We ventured to Eugene to play mini golf.

We had such a great time. The week before Christmas was all about getting our floor done downstairs.  So grateful for this time together.

Christmas Break Came Early

Two days early for our kids. The snow started Wednesday afternoon.

 Hazel, Sierra (our neighbor) and Graham in the backyard. Grahm is totally dressed fro the weather. 

 This boy is still stuck in summer. 

 Our kids, Zach and Ben Wright and Beau McGiven enjoying the snow and day off. 

 Aaron is getting his car ready to go workout. Snow doesn't keep him from getting a workout in. 

The kids had Friday off too. 

We are enjoying it now. June it's going to be hard to remember how nice it was to have the snow when the kids are still in school.

Thanksgiving

The Coles hosted Thanksgiving this year. 

It was a great time being with family!

Food Boxes

The boy and cub scouts collect food for families in need. After it is all collected, the food is taken to the fairgrounds. Once there it is sorted in to boxes for families in need. 

 We met the Coles at the fairgrounds to put those boxes together for FHE.

 The kids were moving so quickly I couldn't get a clear picture of them. 

 There was no complaining and they were all very happy to do this serve. 

The kids were amazed with how many boxes were put together in just the time that we were there. 

Aaron stayed home while we did this. He was working on fixing the sub floor with Jason Appah. 

An Old Park with New Playground Equipment

 We finally made it to the Franklin Square Park. 

 The kids have been asking for weeks to go. 

 The time was finally right. 

So much fun to play at. 

McMinnville Cross Country Meet

 This was at Wortman City Park.

 Looking good!

 Here he comes down the hill. Almost done with this race.

Harrison had a PR. He did amazing!

Unoffical First Cross Country Meet

 The starting line

Harrison is on the left of the screen in the gray shirt and black pants. 

He felt pretty good about it but found it harder than he expected.
