Rancho De Sus Ninos CMC November 2009

Here are some photos of the CMC (Construction Mission Crew)trip that Alayne and I did with a group from Mill Creek Foursquare Church. This was the first trip that Alayne and Alex have done together. Photos are a little dated but still great pics. Great job on taking all the photos Alayne!

God continues to do work through us every time we travel down there. Alex went down again in January/February with a small group of 9 and had a amazing trip!

Here are November's photos:

Been a while...

So I've been slacking when it comes to our website. Hard to believe that the last post of a update was in July. For those who know us know that we have not been sitting around the house. Here is what we've been up to:

August:
The family went to Sun Valley to visit Alex's parents:


Tia jumping into the swimming pool in Sun Valley


Dylan and Dad in the pool

Alayne was able to visit her sister Addie at Red Rock Ranch, Kelly WY

Alayne and Alex then went to Kona, Hawaii for some work and a little relaxation


More photos to come soon.

Hood Canal Weekend

This past weekend we got together with a group of WSU friends and their spouses and children to celebrate our friends Hillary and Robert's announcement of having a baby. In years past this same group of Cougar Alum would gather on Hood Canal to celebrate... well just to celebrate. Its been a number of years since we've all been back to the canal and this is the first time we've all had our spouses and kids. What a great reason to get together; so to Hillary and Robert, CONGRATULATIONS!

We all had a great time! Thanks to those who traveled from long and far to get to the canal.

And a BIG THANKS to my parents, Tim and Judy for opening up their house to all of us.

Here are a few photos

Big Timber Visit

Over the 4th of July weekend we went to Montana to see Alayne's family. We had a great time riding horses and four wheelers, shooting some guns and just hanging out and enjoying the warm weather. It was great to see Alayne's parents and watch the kids have so much fun playing and riding horses. Thanks to Paxton for taking us on a great ride/walk (for Alayne) up into the mountains.

Here are a few photos:



Thank you to Bruce and Louise for a wonderful weekend we all had a great time and are looking forward to our next visit. The kids have not stopped talking about riding Butch and the 4 Wheeler!
