Erin has to sit down for awhile on the Yaquina Bridge! 
Erin gives Lane a kiss before the fireworks. They are creating their own fireworks!Taken on the 4th of July 2008 - Yaquina Bridge / Newport, Oregon
John, Lane & Erin were together on the bridge and this video was nearing the end of the fireworks for the evening.
Think about this as you celebrate the 4th of July. (VIEW)
"Little Duke" looks on as if to give approval! He is even covered up in a blanket. A real dogs life! 
Buddy is just taking a long deserved rest from a hard day. Guess who is our real baby...answer: Little Buddy?
Nothing better than a good bath and a clean and happy Cooper!
Really, Cooper does love his Nana, I think? Lane, Erin and Cooper have paid us a visit this weekend. Lane has a little vacation time (must be nice!). 
We have some visitors who decided to stay at least for the summer and made a nest!
It's great to get together as a family for the baptismal services of Alison. Look at little Chase who loves his sister.
What a neat baptismal service. Alison just reach the age of 8 years old and was baptised by her father. Liz Forsloff (Adam's wife) gave a talk on baptism, and Liz Forsloff (her nana) gave a talk on the Holy Ghost. Marsha Oshita and auntie Erin did a song at her baptism. We are all proud of you Alison.
Beachside State Park (just south of Waldport, OR) - It was our first camping experience this year. It was a little cold and windy. It's nice to get away and just relax. We watched all of Season 3 of "The Office" and did some reading.
Beverly Beach (just 6 miles north of our home in Newport, OR). Here is a neighboring camper from Idaho, and their dog "Little Maxx" - a 13 week old black cocker Spaniel. Buddy just seems to not really care abou Maxx. Temperature got up to around 90 degrees - really hot for the Oregon coast.
Here is our campsite with full hook-up services (with cable TV). Beverly Beach is one of the best camp sites along the coast.
After our visit to Twin Falls, Idaho - we traveled north to Meridan, Idaho to visit with our good friends - Mike and Vickie. Her NEW car!!!
Home of friends Robert and Kathi - Twin Falls, Idaho
While in Idaho we stopped for a brief visit to one of our favorite places, Shoshone Falls, Twin Falls, Idaho. 
What a neet experience to see her advance in life. Just getting together with Sean and his family was a real treasured experience. Continue to make good choices Kortnie. Have a great summer. We love you and your family.
