Christmas Day 2010

Merry Christmas!!!

From the Hamilton's

My little reindeer.

On our way to Grammy & Grandad's house to open presents.

Jen making the fruit salad.

Doug slicing the ham.

Grammy carving the turkey while Grandad held the plate.

Before it was carved, the turkey and I had a moment. See pict below.

Somehow during cooking the turkey, its leg shot straight up in the air. I thought it was too funny so I matched the turkey's "yoga pose"!!! Haa.

All the boys were racing the monster trucks and dump truck they just opened.

Carson's 1st skiing trip

Willamette Pass

December 2010

Doug, Jen & Carson up enjoying one of the first weekends the lifts opened up. It was great weather and perfect snow for Carson's first time skiing.

What a handsome little man!

Carson rode the magic carpet up the little hill and went down the hill very slowly. He did really good!

I got tired chasing after him down the hill. I had to loose some layers.

Carson took a break from skiing and played in the snow that was untouched.

He crawled all through the snow that was about a foot deep in this area.

Peyton's Odd Attire...

Fall 2010

Peyton had a different idea of how to wear stuff. Here are a few good tries she made in the fashion world.

This is an ice bucket from a hotel. AKA: Peyton's new hat.

A new way to wear Carson's underwear.

" The shirt goes on this way mommy, don't fix it!!!"

She chose "mommy's shoes" to go with her outfit.

Camping at L.L. Stub Stewart

End of September 2010

This was one of the cleanest campgrounds we have ever been to. Small gravel in each camping spot. No dirt. Full hookups. Very different from the camping trip a couple weeks ago.

Carson playing in the rocks at our campsite.

Grandma Karen & Peyton sitting back and relaxing.

Carson, Doug & Peyton

Carson & Poppa Bob at the playground.

Peyton checking out the play structure.

Peek!

Bob & Karen's Airstream on its maiden voyage.

Karen's color theme for her trailer is orange. So, the tablecloth and dinnerware are no exception. Carson holding his orange fork ready for dinner.

Clear Lake Camping with Friends

September 2010

We had a beautiful first day there. Ally and I went on a great hike around the lake and jogged the last couple miles. It was dry all day and then that evening it started raining....and raining. We had a huge lake of water in the middle of the circle of trailers in just a couple of hours. So we dressed the kids all up and let them run through the puddle.

Niki & Mikes trailer (left) and our trailer. Please notice the lake of water in front of our trailer. We had to borrow a pallet from Tammi & Robert as our bridge to get into our trailer.

James and Ally's trailer. We had an awesome fire! Not even the rain and the puddle that encircled it would put that thing out. Peyton loving camping!

Carson in the "lake" in the middle of all our trailers.
