Beach time

We love the beach!

Papa and Kyle had lots if fun

Playing in Nanny and Papa's sandbox

Ahhh West Coast how we missed you......

Here are a few more pictures from our trip. Our last stop before Florence was a night in Sherwood, Or to meet our new nephew/cousin Jase and stay with the White's.

Jake and Kyle had lots of fun playing

Uncle Joel took us on a walk around town and playing at a few parks

We had a lot of fun visisting the White's, seeing their new home, church and most importantly baby :-)

it is very fun seeing our kids play with their cousins. 

Finally some pictures

So this is a long post coming, I had misplaced my camera cable on our trip and then Sunday morning I went to use my camera and it was broken :( it would try to take a picture but it was not doing it right and there were werid sounds coming out of it. So after calling around to camera repair shops I found out that  it is either $150 fix or a total loss depending on which thing is broken, and the closest repair shop is 3+ hours away, so my loving husband drove me to Eugene and let me buy a "used body" a little newer than my 8 year old camera and we will work on getting my old one fixed at some point. I was able to get pictures off my broken camera so I thought I would share a few of our trip.

Stopping and seeing good friends 

It has been a good trip, full of lots of twists and turns but we have been having a fun time, you will have to stop back tomorrow for more pictures.

On the road again...

We have driven 11 states, 2300 miles, 2 national parks, 2 national monuments and endless food and gas stops in 5 days. I will post more pictures when I find my camera cable, but here are a few off the phone.

Trying in hats at REI in Montana

Kyle organized our shoes at the Iversons house

I think they were trying to make bunkbeds (and this is why we check on them before we go to bed)

So that is a little of what we have been up to on our trek west. It feels good to be back "home" on the west coast. Kyle's health is good and that is a true blessing. We have enjoyed fellowship with friends and family along our travels. And we have enjoyed lots of family bonding time in the car. 

Road Trip!!!!

Our navigator :-)

Chicago and their toll roads SUCK!!! Literally they suck the life out of your car and wallet. 

Our guard dog took over the bed when the girls got up.
