More of my favorite pictures

This is Elizabeth in 1st grade - they made easter hats at school. I love her missing teeth!
Elizabeth sandboarding during our vacation to the Oregon Coast near Florence. It was so much fun, and I was amazed at how well the kids could do it! I didn't dare to do more than sit on the board! Rachel and Elizabeth with their new baby cousin, Jade. They love to take care of her!
Michael and Rachel. I love any picture with my kids being nice to one another! For Christmas last year, rather than having the kids give one another gifts, they each chose a name and did an activity with that person. Michael and Rachel went bowling together and had a great time.
Rebekah and I at Sequioa National Park.

The kids had a lot of fun having an easter egg hunt with Grandma and Grandpa Adamson, the Couchs and the Adamsons. It was a beautiful, sunny day, something that we don't get very often here in the March!

More Baptism pictures

We are so grateful for all of our wonderful family and friends who came to Rachel's baptism! It was a great experience, and we really appreciated being able to share it with you.

Rachel's baptism

Rachel was baptized last weekend! It is amazing that our youngest is growing up so quickly. We had a really nice weekend with family, and the baptism was beautiful. Rachel has been waiting for this for a long time, and has really prepared well. We really enjoyed having so many family members here - Grandpa and Grandma Adamson, Grandma Debbie, Grandpa and Grandma Jamison, Couch family, Taylor family and Adamson family. Our cousin pictures are always interesting--you would think these poor kids were being tortured!

More pictures of swimming at Timberline Lodge

I will get this blog stuff down sooner or later, I hadn't realized that everything I post would go in backward order, so my postings don't make much sense starting at the top! Here we are swimming and having snowball fights in the pool.

Swimming at Timberline Lodge

Our favorite part of Timberline Lodge was the pool! There is an outdoor pool that is heated and open year round. We were able to swim and have snowball fights at the same time. It was a lot of fun. The kids had contests to see who could sit in the snow the longest before they had to jump back in the water to warm up.

Weekend at Mt. Hood

We spent a couple of days at Mt. Hood's Timberline Lodge. It was a terrific vacation! Our room had five sets of bunk beds, and we enjoyed playing Rook and Apples to Apples together.
