Are you ready for some FOOTBALL?





Alex (Jenny's brother) and Sophie...waiting in the tunnel.

Nathan is so cute all bundled up!

Smiles!

Bring out the Wolf Pack....not really wolves, but slight resemblence!



Jordan's the guy on top this time!

NOT so happy now...so much noise with all the cheering going on! But still as cute as ever!

Senior recognition...is that the lights of heaven shining on US? =)

Prayer with the other team...voluntary!

A very happy Wolf Pack! Can you guess which one is Jordan?

Triad won Butte Falls, 48 to 14, to take league first place. Great game...Butte Falls provided a good fight!

The blush of Fall
















The road to Powers...similar to the road to Hana!

The weather forecast went from wet to cloudy, and it ended up at 70 degrees! Long drive to Powers...4 1/2 to 5 hours. Triad won...by a lot! Jordan had 10 tackles...6 for a loss and 1 sack! He had a great game.

A&W with Gpa Mohler's

Love those fries...not crazy about hamburger. Maybe she'll be vegetarian.

Football game at Powers, little town tucked away in the coastal range....trip back in was a windy, carsickish ride!

Jordan's take-down!

High 5's to Gpa!

Coming right for me, I had to put down the camera!

Shall we dance?

Jordan's on the bottom...pulling!

Another team mate comes over the top to help!

Nice roll over Jordan!

oh yeah....who's dirty!

#2's back is so dirty, he stands out!

Over the mountains, and through the valley...

A couple weeks ago, we traveled North for Amie's 6 month check up at OHSU. Everthing checked out fine. Hearing is definately better with the tubes in her ears. Her speech is coming along fine, and seems unaffected by the cleft lip/palate. Her dr. said they won't do anything on the lip at this time, unless she had to go back in for another redo on the ear tubes. It really looks pretty good, and it is unnecessary to put her under for that alone. So...all good news. Another 6 months and we will recheck again.

So aside from that, we spent some time with Tyler, Ana, and Isaac. We stopped at Detering Orchards in Harrisburg....beautiful day. Went back to their new house in Corvallis. So nice to see where they live! The kids played on the playground for a while, then Isaac shared his toys! Had dinner with them and Mom and Curt, before calling it a night.



Watching the apple juice press!

I will have to ask Isaac what the name is for where he is pointing...the anatomical term for elbow. Such a smartie! course when you have parents like his....! (It's the olecranon process!)

Waiting for the wagon ride.

Playing while we wait!



All aboard!

Amie leans far out to see the horses...

BIG crocodile tears, cause she can't sit on the floor!

THROUGH the hay maze!

OVER the hay maze!

What a BIG step!

Picking the not-so-perfect pumpkin in the free patch! They had character!

Amie is not shy around animals. She is anxious to give em a good hard PAT! or grab a bit of fur!

Riding the rails with Gma LaVerne! stair rails, that is!



In the car...one sleeps!

One doesn't!
