Merry Christmas 2012!

Merry Christmas!  As our present to you, we thought you might like to see some new posts on the blog.  For a while we were making photo updates on Facebook and Photobucket, but I think this is the easiest for more people to check out and see the pictures.

This year has gone by so fast!  Jack is a kindergartner now and Samantha is really loving going to pre-school.  Jack and Samantha both have bicycles and love riding them when the weather is nice.  They both went to summer camp and had a blast.  I can't believe how fast they are growing up, Jill marked their heights in July and they have both grown an inch since then.

We bought a RV this summer and have taken it camping a few times.  Kalaloch and Cape Disappointment were great and we even took it out to the track to camp out for a racing weekend.   

On to the Pictures!

We took the kids down our road to trick or treat our neighbors for the first time ever. The kids had a great time and got lots of candy.

One of the few pictures from Sea World. We were so proud of ourselves for taking the camera and then remembering to get it out and taking pictures, and then shortly after this picture the battery died. Crap!

Ryan went to Kings Bay, GA for work this summer, the kids and I joined him there for about 2 months. We saw a lot of things and had a great time, but it was really nice to finally get home.
