Putting WVCS back together and the Beach


Well the Stockwell's put the wall back up at WVCS... In a new place... We still have to do the finishing tape and texturing, then come back and paint it but the wall is up! Ben and John worked really hard to get all the sheetrock up and the windows in.
THEN... the Stockwell family went to the beach to spent the night! It was FUN! We spent the night in a "dog-friendly" motel so Kaycee came with us, which was fun! She LOVES the beach as much as we do!
Jeremy swam in the pool without his lifejacket or water wings! Mom was worried... Dad said it would be fine! And it was!







Ben had a great time jumping from rock to rock! He looked like Superman!






Weather was rainy the first day so the kids mostly swam in the pool and played card games, then the next day it was better! It was even sunny in the afternoon!
John, Alyssa and Jeremy had fun watching the water spout up around the rocks! Kaycee even went swimming in the ocean water!






John and Jeremy ran away from Ben as he snuck over the fence at the Boiler Bay Scenic Place!


Alyssa took this amazing shot! She also put the lens of the camera up to the telesope and took some close up shots of a rock in the ocean! She had a ton of fun with the camera!
Well, that was our fun trip! We will update again when the tape and texture is done at WVCS!

Webkinz and more BMX


Here comes Ben and August on the BMX track in Newberg OR and there goes Jeremy on the other side. Guess we will be spending a lot of time there! They had tons of fun! Jeremy found a friend and August and Ben were able to do some jumps and go faster since they didn't have to wait for Jeremy! It was a perfect day... overcast and about 75ish! Love that... no sitting in the hot sun for mom!
Alyssa has gotten me hooked on a new gaming site... www.webkinz.com. Unfortunately you have to own a webkinz stuffed animal in order to access the site! We have been having fun collecting "Kinzcash" and creating fun rooms in her house. She has many of these stuffed pets... 16 to be exact... and she has a huge list of others she wants! Guess she needs a job!

Jeremy the BMX Rider!


What a rider! He is a mere 6 yrs old and has only been without his training wheels for about a month! It's amazing! He is all boy... fell several times at the BMX park in Newberg Or and each time he would put his hand in the air and say, "I'm okay." He loves his bike and is very greatful that his big brother took the time to take off the training wheels and let him ride!
