We made quite a few stops along the Columbia River Gorge to visit the waterfalls. I still can't decide which one was my favorite. It was so beautiful and fun to share them with family.

I have to post about the great time the boys had at the Monster Truck show. Braxton and Michael love everything about Monster Trucks,

so when they came to town, Scot had to take them.

They really are big, aren't they? The boys got Pit Passes and were able to go see all the trucks and meet their drivers before the show started. How fun! Nothing like smashing and crushing cars. Gravedigger is their all time favorite. Every since we happened upon the Gravedigger shop and garage in North Carolina, they have been hooked ever since. What a kick to meet one of their drivers.

I just celebrated my birthday and turned way too old. I had to make my traditional cake that I have had every year since I turned one. I love it and start to crave it as my birthday draws near. Corvin thought the wrapping paper was so fun.

We took a great trip to an indoor water park. The boys had so much fun body boarding, going down the water slides and getting wet. It was great to have 85 degree temperatures in the middle of winter.

We had family pictures taken before Christmas.

Here are a few cute pictures of my family

(all but my own I guess).

You had a birthday, shout hooray! ... one year older and wiser too. Happy Birthday to you.

Scot opening presents. Corvin not too impressed with the gifts we got Dad. Scot with his cake on fire. The fire being put out with one blow (from each of them).

Our evenings at home are pretty low-key.
