More Oregon Fun

Lava Beds near Bend, Oregon I had to add this one bc this is how Bryce is :) That is Mt. Bachelor behind us where the boys will go skiing tomorrow.

Yeah the whole family

We hiked to a water fall after the Lava Beds

Ski day with a harness was much better for everyone and the Dinosaur helmet was a big hit

MMM snow

Hiking backpack water spout is pretty good too

Dinosaur found a hole to play in and throw snowballs

Mt. Bachelor

Brennen 9 mths

Wow where is the time going.....9mths Mister Brennen...a little late...but you are on the move this month like a crazy man. You already pull yourself up onto everything. Earlier this month Daddy caught you not napping  and being very proud as you stared standing at Daddy over your pack-n-play. Which lead to several days of hard sleep, bc man that was a fun new trick to do ALL the TIME. As the month went on you would play on your knees, pull yourself up to the couch, and play on the first stair. Well the month is almost over and you also started climbing.....up the stairs and up and into your toy box...you also take steps and can move around the couch and coffee table. So needless to say you really have to be watched. You love to play with your brother and have gotten pretty good and vrooming the hot wheel cars and play a mean sound on the pots and pans. You eat everything we put in front of you and prefer to feed yourself. Unfortunately I haven't been able to let you feed yourself with the spoon much, due to the kitchen table and carpet...REALLY who puts carpet where you have your only table. You have your 4 front teeth, 2 on top and 2 on bottom, two more are breaking through. In your nine months you have flown internationally twice into Korea  from the USA and Guam and  have been on some crazy cross country drives. Our time in Oregon is coming to an end and we have many more adventures before we touch down in OKI on June 27.

Super Brennen chasing down the football

Climbing over cushions

So hard to keep these stickers on without pulling them off right away

This is the cube where my toys are and I have been caught inside this

Mt. Ashland Easter Morning

The Ski Day on Easter...

 

Picture of Mt Ashland in the back ground

 

The boys on the way down the hill...Bryce did really well. Although his attitude changed every 5 min...to I can't do this anymore, to watch out I am going to beat you Daddy.

 

Mommy daddy keeps telling me to do pizza slice with my legs, but it is really hard....

 

The weather changed off and on all day too...he actually got to ride a little ski lift up the bunny hill :)

 

 

 

Random Brennen photos...who needs toys when you have the empty container :)

 

 

Easter

We went over to Medford for Easter. We left on Saturday and hiked at the Lake of the Woods, hit Trader Joes in town and Best Buy. Found the hotel had dinner, put the boys to bed, got ready for Easter. Went to 7am mass which is SUPER early for this family....so Brian and Bryce could go skiing...here are pictures from the adventure....

 

The Monster Easter eggs...I forgot to take a picture of the finished project..they turned out really cute with spiked hair and all

 

The boys at Klamath Lake

 

Lake of the Woods for our hike and picnic...notice Bryce took about 15 min to be soaked in his pants with the one snow pile so he is now in snow pants... :)

                                                       Yes that is the snow pile

 

Lunch by the lake

 

Hard for Brennen to stay still too long and he loves our water bottles

 

Really easy to get Bryce to sit still...

 

 

 

 

 

Easter Morning

 

happy boys with their Easter goodies

 

TREK to Klamath Falls Oregon

Well we started our journey and all in all it wasn't that bad. The AF gave us so many days and if you didn't use them all and showed up early Brian had to take leave. So we took our time and enjoyed the journey. We rolled in on a Sunday evening, hit the grocery and were pleasanlty surprised by the Running Y ranch where we will be living for the next 2mths. We are excited to explore all it has to offer.

 

Buffalo Bills Ranch

 

Tons of saddles in the barn

 

This was his house

 

Bryce had his very own rubber band gun, he shot lots of cowboys and Indians on our journey

 

Pool time was always the best each night

 

This was our stop after passing the no facilities for 180 miles sign...the great outdoors were just fine for Bryce to use the bathroom and explore while Brennen ate.

 

I am tired daddy :(

 

See a whole lot of nothing
