The Wedding

The main reason for our trip to Oregon was the wedding of Spencer and Katie. Gabby and her cousin, Jordyn, were the flower girls. Cousin Mason was the ring bearer. They asked Nick to be a ring bearer too...but he declined. Twice is enough for him, I guess. The wedding rehearsal was Friday and it rained on everyone...however, the actual day of the wedding was gorgeous and everything was beautiful. Nick and Gabby didn't last through much of the reception so we had to leave shortly after the dancing began, but we still had a lot of fun and are so happy that Spencer and Katie are now official. We just love them.

vacation memories...part one

It's been a while. A lot has been happening around here. I thought I'd start with our vacation since it's one of the first things that have happened that I haven't blogged about! Chad's cousin, Spencer, and his lovely fiance, Katie, got married on June 30th in Oregon City, Oregon....Gabby was their flower girl (Nick declined the invitation to be a ring bearer) So, we all went to the wedding and then headed to the beach for a week! It was great fun. The wedding was on Saturday so we left home on Thursday in order to have a little bit of time along the way. Our first stop on the way to our destination was Multnoma Falls. We'd told the kids about it along the way and they were looking forward to seeing the falls and were antsy for a break from the long car ride. Of course, when we arrived they were both asleep. We woke them up, knowing they'd hate to miss it. Here are the pictures from the Multnoma Falls portion of our vacation....
