40th birthday party - December 4, 2018

Happy birthday James! We party hard around here.

We finally lit the pilot light to the fireplace again. Feels more like Christmas already.

Ward party Santa - December 1, 2018

Infant massage - November 29, 2018

Aunt Sandy (Grandma's sister) is teaching us how to give Sierra massages. Today we learned how to massage her legs and her tummy.  I think she likes it. Lincoln and Meta found dolls to practice on.

Happy Thanksgiving - November 22, 2018

I love how Lincoln went to the extra effort to make his turkey a head, feet and even a belly button. Meta insisted that our turkeys should have wings, but didn't get her wings glued on.

Dinner time! Sierra's excited. :smile:

Sierra fell asleep before dinner - can you be in a "turkey coma" an entire year before you ever try any turkey?

Meta decided she needed a FORK.

James made apple pie. So good.

Portland Temple and Visitor Center - November 20, 2018

We explored the Portland Temple grounds, the Visitor Center and the indoor arboretum in the temple waiting area.

Cannon Beach - November 19, 2018

Squishy with five on a hotel bed.

Sunset on Cannon Beach.

Driving with kids - November 18, 2018

This state park/rest stop is a boat ramp. We're on our way to Portland to stay in a hotel for the swimming pool and visit the Portland Temple grounds. Happy birthday week to Meta!

Meta is playing with toys she brought from home. Lincoln took the case off a pillow and is using it like an upside down sleeping bag to try to nap. Sierra is napping in her car seat. Glad it's only a 3 hour (plus stops) drive to Portland.
