Bring back any memories?? Look familiar?  When we went to Oregon  a few years ago I took my family back to the beginning. Rock Dr! Drove down the old road to the chapel.

My girls played on the playground at Indian Hills for a bit--It was so fun. I'm glad we took a few pictures. I had forgotten we had done that! I'll post a few more from that trip. I wish we could have been there for the California trip. We miss you guys (all of you!) - Kari and family

Can you tell where we are? The name tag says Elder Evans and the orange dot means "first day in the MTC--may need help" What a great week! Family and missionary! Thanks to everyone for making Brett's last week one to remember. We love you all!

Family party in Carlsbad July 2008

So here we are--I have a lot to learn about blogging but it is a start! As you can see we had a great time--Girl's sleep over at Grandma's, Brett with Sam, Brett and Grandpa with kids and on the pier with kids--we didn't catch anything but it was fun!

This is Mike, Drew and Hannah at Sea World. We had a great time! Grandma Janette, Grandpa, Brett and I went on our way over from Arizona.

Actually the last picture is of Grandma Janette!

Blog updated

This is a picture of Mom's belated b-day party/mothers day dinner and farwell to Dad before he left for China. Any reason to celebrate with ice cream right?

I just got around to updating our family blog. Thank you everyone for updating yours and letting us all peak into your lives. I love it! I can't believe how grown-up Drew and Mike are in the parade picture! It will be so fun to see you all very soon. - Kari

We LOVE Kansas

We arrived in Kansas last week & we have fallen in love! We're very happy to be here! I posted some pictures on our blog if you're interested. Brett, we are so excited for your mission call! We aren't too far from Tulsa so if gas prices don't go to $100 a gallon we might go check it out. We hope everyone is doing well!

Love you all!

HAVING FUN IN THE SUN

This past week Sarah, Austin and I were able to spend some time with mom, dad and brett at the beach house. It was a lot of fun as you can tell by the pictures. It was a little cool for half the time and sunny and warm for the last half. Austin loves the ocean and couldn't get enough of the sand and the water. We literally had to keep pulling him back from the water because he wanted to go deeper and deeper. Thanks mom and dad for a great weekend.
