More Time With Candy and Collin!

 We headed to the coast again to visit with my brothers and their wives. We stopped at Cape Kiwanda in Pacific City on the way so Collin could enjoy the beach.

 Candy enjoyed time to sit and take in the sights, sounds and the smell of the salt air.

 Textures and color make me happy :-).

 Collin got hit by a wave :-).

 We are so lucky to live near the beautiful Oregon Coast!

 Collin likes to climb!

 Bill enjoyed a relaxing moment

 The sand dune at Cape Kiwanda is huge.

 Collin climbed to the top and then headed down.

Spending time with my brother Chris and his wife Bev

 Candy and Collin ended their trip with a delicious grilled salmon dinner (one that Bill caught while fishing with my brother Chris). We enjoyed them very much, and we were grateful for the time they took to come see us!

Memorial Day 2014

 We had a wonderful Memorial Day this year as my sister came to visit with my nephew Collin. We went to several cemeteries and cleaned and decorated graves. It was a wonderful way to spend the day together with family.

We ended our Memorial Day at a bridge east of Logsden where we threw our bouquets in the river to honor our Aunt Ruth, my mom's sister.

Family is so important to us, both present and past!

Amazing Missionaries!

 These guys are missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. As you can see, they have helped us out many times. We sure do love and appreciate them!

Farr Fest

 Rob and Gayle Spencer with their children Emma and Ethan.

Maggie and Drew got to go to the "Farr Fest" with us. It was very fun to gather with Bill's siblings and their children. We also got to see our nephew Rob and his family as they were visiting from Indiana. It was a special day!

 Lorna and Bob hosted this crowd and they did a wonderful job!!!
