Halloween

Happy Halloween!!
We had a great time trick-or-treating with the boys. We had Harry Potter, a Motor Cross Rider, a Scary Guy, a Red Power Ranger and Baby Ryan as Superman joined us for a great night. We bobbed for apples, ate donuts off a string and had a blast giving out candy to the kids that came to our house. Rob had the fog machine and music set up at the front door...he was fogging us out!

Our weekend with Marty & Kathie

We had a great weekend away with Marty & Kathie....We played hard and partied hard!

Campbell & Dawson & Nick

Campbell and Dawson were loving each other. Nick and Campbell were watching a movie together.

Soccer & Pumpkins

Lukas played soccer today in the pouring rain. He is filling in on his friend Benjamin's team. After that we all carved pumpkins.

Shannie's Alaska Trip

I went to Alaska and spent some time with my Dad and Kathy. We took a row boat ride on their lake. I also spent some time with my dearest friends Lori & James and their adorable kids, Gabi & Aidan!!

Bauman Farms

We took the boys to the pumpkin patch. They had a great time with the apple canon and slingshot. Lukas won a gallon of apple cider, he shot the apple and it went through the 9" target!!

Racing update

Rob here. well that pesky Oregon rain ended our last race short of me getting enough points to get around the leader. So we ended up 2nd, out of 31 competitors for the year. Shannon did a superb job as crew chief, as we tied for the number one qualifier spot with the points leader. We won first round, then the rains came.
Yesterday Robbie had a great day of racing, qualified number two, and runnerd up the race. He is tied for third with one more race, next Sunday. Were gonna have to put up a new wall for Robbie's trophies and medallions.

Construction Continues

The boys have worked all summer on building their forts. They have put in hundreds of hours and nails (maybe thousands of nails) to build their masterpiece. Luke and Robbies fort has a door, a mailbox, a waiting room and a work bench. Nick and Parkers fort has a slide, picutes and a nice upper deck.

Captain & Campbell are here!

Our two new arrivals are here. We are happy to welcome the kitties to our family. Captain is feisty and Campbell is lovey. The two brothers play all the time, and we love them.

Shannie's Birthday in Bend

We went to Bend and hung out with our friends Jamie & Ty and their son Jackson. We stayed at the Inn at The Seventh Mountain. We had a great time in the pool, riding bikes and eating great food. Parker took a little nap...pool side.

First Day of School

The boys were all ready for the first day of school. Parker was loaded down with his Big Boy Backpack.

Detroit Lake

We took a day off last week and rented a party boat. We had great weather and the boys had a blast on the boat.

Boating with Marty & Kathie

We had a great day of boating with our friends Marty & Kathie. Marty, did a great job of driving his boat. Had a blast on the tube! Then Kathie drove the boys around on the tube.

We took the boys to Fishermans Bend to camp and fish. We had a great time, we went to Detriot lake, Brittenbush and the Santiam river. Parker caught his first fish. A rainbow trout! He is so proud of himself.

Racing

Robbie & Rob have been busy racing.... Both great at what they do. Last weekend Rob and I raced his car just the two of us....So I (Shannon) did it all. Get him in the car, bottle feed it, adjust the pills, drive the car back to the pit....It all went great until I burnt my leg on the headers....thats what I get for hanging with the big boys.
