Giant 8 ft Tall Snowman in Beaverton

The day following our snowstorm, Ethan, Marcie and their friend Marina came across a giant snowman in the front yard of our next door neighbor. Seems the neighbors stayed up until 10:00pm last night putting the final touches on the snowman. The kids were able to miss school for a second day because the roads were not safe for travel.

Trip To The Tillamook Creamery

On Monday January 15th, 2007 we took a drive to the coast of Oregon to visit the Tillamook Creamery in Tillamook, Oregon. The creamery produces some of the best cheese and ice cream you will ever have. Ethan and Marcie enjoyed the bubble gum flavor ice cream.

Trip To California For Christmas 2006

For Christmas vacation this year we went to California to visit my mom and sister. During our visit we stayed at mom's home in West Hollywood and at my sister's home in Murrieta, California. The weather was perfect on the days we went to Disneyland and to Huntington Beach. See below photo albums for pictures and link to video.
