Little Memories

I've accumulated quite a few random pictures in my email box, taken on Mark's i-phone that I couldn't bring myself to delete, but wouldn't turn out if I printed them. Each of them have a little story or memory behind them that I don't want to forget. And since that's the point behind this blog, to remember the little moments, I've decided to post them here so I can get them out of my email!

Willow 3 days old

Just days after Willow's birth, Willow and I joined the rest of the family at the beach for a couple days. Grammi and Papa had taken Aspen and Journey down with them after we had Willow, and Mark was getting back to fishing after having to put it on hold for the month of August.

Journey (3) and I on a coffee date. Celebrating her memorizing Gal. 5:22-23.


Aspen (4) touring a Navy ship with Mark and Dan during the Rose Festival 2008. He had so much fun seeing the inside of the ship and hanging out with the guys.

Aspen & Sofia (both 4)

Up until Aspen started Kindergarten, they often had play dates once a week.

Celebrating Aspen's 5th birthday on the boat with Daddy. Having a can of pop is a definite treat around here :)

We had some beautiful weather for his 5th birthday.

Troy's expecting! haha

(5 mo. pregnant w/ Willow)

Journey (2 1/2) hanging out with daddy in the backyard. In the summer (2009) we made a lot of fires and roasted marshmellows together before the kids bedtime. I love those chunky legs :)
