It's J-P's Birthday!!!!!

Today we celebrate J-P! 

He is 39

Jeeps! Need I say more?

Outrageously talented with his hands, can build or fix anything

Handsome and ruggedly so

Notorious for picking out the worst Red Box movie rentals :)

Peculiarly fascinated by fast cars, fast boats, and modified vehicles that can drive over large masses of rock

A hard-working man who is always thinking of his family

Unusually smart, can pretty-much do just about anything

Loving! Loves his wife, children, family, and friends with a sincere heart

I Love this man to pieces!!!!

Father and Sons Weekend

 Our church every year has a weekend dedicated for fathers and sons. It's actually only one night, but Calvin gets so excited anticipating it, that thats all he can talk about. He even told his teacher at school he was going to be gone for a week. Lol.

They camped out at the coast just south from Tilamook that's about a two hour drive from our house.

When the tide was low, there was lots of  exploring to do on the beach.

Scott and Jack

Another father and son, John and Cam. They are our friendly neighbors who are so fun.

Calvin stepped in water that was higher than his rain boots.  

My favorite father and sons combo!  

This same weekend I went with Cosette and Tanya with her daughter, Jane to Tanya's in-laws beach house.  We had some other friends there with their daughters and we had our own retreat. 

A Case of the Sillys

Ever find your kids doing things that make you wonder why?

Oliver looks too comfortable in the washing machine.

Cosette helping her daddy with yard work. 

She doesn't mind getting her hands dirty.

This was a little show I got for Mother's Day......interesting, huh? Oliver cracks us up.

J-P said this is my child with his posing and all.  I find it all very silly.

Easter Morn

Easter morning the kiddies were chewing on their goodies they found in the backyard left by one Mr. Easter Bunny. Not sure how much longer these kids are going to believe in him. They are starting to ask a lot of questions.

This year we hid everything outside in the back and when they woke up, they had to hunt for it!  I like it this way best.

Ammon is turning seven in about a month and he is starting to look more like Shawn Connery in his older years. Lol. More gray, but still very handsome.
