McKenna's Fall Portraits

Finally an opportunity to take McKenna out for some fall pics! We lucked out and since the little ones weren't with us, we were able to get some shots down by the water. I even put on a little eyeliner, mascara, blush and lipstick!

These are my favorites!!!

Fall Pictures 2010

The annual fall photos took place at Riverside Park, we got a few rain sprinkles, but lucked out before the real showers hit. Unfortunately we weren't able to get all the photos done; therefore McKenna and I will go out again to get some more shots of her!

More McKenna pictures coming soon.....

Fall Festival

We headed out to Summerville to Stargazer to their Fall Festival to pick out a pumpkin! They had some other fun, like face painting, a pony to pet, yummy fall goodies, hot chocolate and apple cider!! What a neat little place!!

The girls convinced Connor to get his face painted too!

Connor was so excited to shoot Dad's shotgun, even if it did only have blanks! And Bailey was ready to go after the bird!!

Connor the Dancing Fool!

Connor decided to show off his moves for me and his sisters! Who knows where he learned some of these moves, my guess, McKenna!

Labor Day Weekend Camp Trip

Just a few of the hundred something pictures I took during our first camp trip of the year! Unfortunately the trip fell on the last weekend of summer break for the kids. Still worth the trip. We left town about 5 on Friday and headed out of town. We ended up on the other side of Sumpter, OR in the Whitney unit. We found a nice spot with a fire ring, and creek access.

Morgan and a marshmallow! YUM!

Saturday night and the first marshmallows over the fire!


Saturday afternoon we hiked up a trail in search of some deer, that meant crossing the "creek." Connor's little legs didn't quite make it as far as we would have liked, so he, McKenna and I headed back to camp. Morgan was determined to finish the hunt. She managed the rest of the way up the mountain and then came down the face, which turned out to be steeper than Eric had thought. Morgan will be quite the little hunter! No fear, bring on the mountains!

A little football with dad, Morgan caught it!!

The only "fishing" we did!!

Eric "fishing" in the creek!!! The kids loved sitting by cheering him on!

McKenna's grasshopper, she followed this little guy all over before she was able to catch him.

McKenna and her grasshopper!!

Morgan chilling in the trailer!

Connor discovered the full length mirror in the trailer and loved to watch himself!!

Connor and a silly moment tossing the football.

McKenna learned how to through a football, she caught on pretty quick!

Connor's flower for mommy!

Relaxing and taking it all in!

Another game we had that everyone enjoyed at some point over the weekend.

The kiddos, enough said!

Connor LOVED throwing rocks in the creek!

The place we called home until Monday morning Sept. 6th!

Morgan's 1st Soccer Season

The summer recreation soccer league started the end of June. Morgan's 1st game (shown below) was on July 5th. Her last game would have been Aug. 10, but she came down with a fever and was unable to play. Her coach was nice enough to drop off her medal on her way home. Not sure if we'll do it again next year, lots of running and hot weather!

Some fancy foot work during practice

...and stretch, her coach was amazed at her balance. Me too!

Morgan played in U7, which means the kids were 4 1/2 to 6 1/2 and Morgan was still small!
