Oregon Day 1

Half of Dave's family lives in Grants Pass, Oregon. Our kids have never been there and we have only been there in the winter, so we decided we should make a summer trip there. And Dave suggested, why don't we bless Tayte by his family this time. So it was a short 3 day trip to see Oregon in the summer and to bless Tayte, but it was a fun filled great weekend!

Ty has only been on an airplane once when she was a baby, so they were so excited with their little suitcases to fly in the plane.


Madix's and Tayte's first airplane ride. They all did super for the 2 hour ride.





We got there late Friday night, then woke up early Sat. morning to go on the famous jet boat ride down the Rogue River. I was a little nervous to take Tayte, this being a "jet boat" that spins around and does 180's and all 50 on the boat get wet! But they all said she would be fine.


In the store before we left. Vienna loved Tayte and just wanted to grab her and it totally was making Tayte smile.


She till doesn't stay awake for long though, she zonked.

Cousins. So fun for my kids to see cousins that they never get to see.

Here's the boat that's gonna whip us all around, oh boy!


Some of our gang


I sat by Jenny in the middle with the babies, she helped me feel better.


Aunt Michelle took Ty under her wing and kept her safe and dry.


Tayte got a little splashed once but then I made sure she was covered REALLY good with her blanket and tarp. Didn't get a drop on her after that and just slept through the whole crazy ride.


Ty and Maile


Madix rode the tractor down. Look at her waiving all "cool" like she does this everyday or something:)


Then that night we got to go to Michelle's cool house and property and they found a frog for Ty!!! She heard about frogs there and has never seen a real frog so she was SOOOO excited!!


Madix got a turn to hold it


It was just a little tiny guy, I've seen pictures of HUGE frogs there but this was good enough for Ty.

Kimber, you amaze me! I can't believe how active you are with a new baby! You do such a good job taking pictures, taking sweet little Tayte all over the place, keeping up on your blog. Wow! Love seeing what your cute little family is up to!
