Ready for our wagon ride.

Mason scouting out the best trees!

Pa taking video. Yaya riding with snuggly Mason and a not so happy Livi.

We expect Livi to cut her two year molars any day now! She has been rather grumpy because of her teeth lately, not that I blame her!

Yaya, Pa and a still slightly grumpy Livi.

I just liked this pic!

She's growing too fast!

Brandon (a.k.a. daddy) with the weapon that took down the deer!

Happy daddy! This is a beautiful 10 point buck that has given us 52 pounds of delicious venison!

The Cousins Visit and we visit the Aquarium!

Six kids on the shark scale at the Newport Aquarium! Kerrin and Kiegan are on the bottom! All together they weigh as much as an adult sandbar shark!
Kerrin, Nadia, Mason, Kiegan, Livi, and Kyrek on the shark scale.
(If you look really close you'll see Kiegan's eye between Nadia and Livi's shoulders)

You can see that they were having some giggles while they all tried to stay on together!

Nana and Livi at the shark touch pool.

(left to right) Kyrek, Nana, Livi, Kiegan, Kerrin, Nadia, Mason at the shark touch pool.

The kids got to pet a sea star and hermit crab!

They had so much fun!

Nadia on the bongo drum, striking a pose!

Nadia was too scared to go inside the sharks mouth! Not that I blame her!

Piper's Blessing Day!

An unhappy Piper getting used to her blessing gown...
Still getting used to it.....

This is Mommy and Piper. You can see that Piper is much happier now! Check out the video below to get the full scoop!
