Foulger Family Trip

Ariel returned to the sea! When Brecken found out we were going to the beach, she informed me she was going to wear her mermaid skirt to make her swim and was also going to sing Ariel's songs (which she then rehearsed!)

Last weekend, we stayed in a beach house in Lincoln City. Thanks to Vaughn who got us the hook-up for an amazing, brand new beach house. We had so much fun... very busy, and many kids, but was more than enjoyable. I feel refreshed- I needed a little trip. Brecken loved being around all her cousins... I LOVE the whole Foulger family- I couldn't ask for better in-laws.

Brecken loves the ocean! How cute is my little girl?!

Here's our family picture (with my thug husband!)

Delpha and Deon... my girls! Love them!!!

There was lots of kite flying,

shell finding,

& skin boarding.

Of course, there is also playing in the sand and burying each other (of which I did not get a picture)

Saturday morning, all the guys went on a hike to the suspension bridge. What boys...they teased our nephew Logan by rocking him while he was in the middle of the bridge.

Lane's Raft Trip

For all those that have been requesting:

Lane went on a raft trip on the Rogue River last month with his Dad & co-workers. It was gorgeous and a blast... here are some pics. Enjoy!

Ingrid & boys

Happy Birthday to Ingrid and Jared (Aug. 1 &2). Yes... Ingrid went into labor at her own birthday party and had Jared the next day....& now he is a teenager!

To end our trip with the boys, with met up with Ingrid in Medford. We spent the night at Lane's sister house, and went out the next morning to celebrate Ingrid's birthday. Brecken sang "Happy Birthday" so loud and cute that everyone in the restaurant turned around and listened and then applauded her. She was soo proud- it was absolutely adorable. Sorry Ingrid, but now I know that our camera does not take video with sound- LAME!!! Happy Birthday again- I'm glad we were able to meet up for a mini-visit!

After breakfast we went to the Rogue River and waded and played a little. I didn't take very many pics, I guess most my energy went to staying cool and keeping Brecken hydrated.


Last Wednesday, I took Raistlin and Jared, and Vaughn's boys, Devin and Logan to OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) and they all loved it. It is all hands on science stuff- really neat.
