It's early but,

Hey memorial weekend is fast approaching. with the new reservation system for the state parks you got to get in early! we reserved 2 spots in A loop, same loop as last year, same spots as 2 years ago, 49 and 50. If anyone is going to camp with us hurry up and resereve a spot! Joseph Stewart State Park is the name. Go to reserveamerica.com to make your reservation. we did reserve for the most people and rigs that we could in both spots for those that want to sleep in tents or just come up for the day.

By the way GO STEELERS! WORLD CHAMPIONS AGAIN!!!!!

Nevermind......

We won't be coming down until Christmas morning because Rod has a mandatory unemployment orientation Christmas Eve at like 4pm (AKA - State of Oregon is gonna screw up everyone's holiday plans). See ya'll Thursday.

Grandmas house

Hey everyone. Rod and I will be coming down this Sunday and on Monday we are heading over to Grants Pass to cut down some trees and get the house cleaned up for the next renters. If anyone can help out let us know. Whatever we don't finish on Monday we will get to on Friday when we go back with Dad.

Matt - did you still want that pine tree taken down? Rod will have his climbing gear so let us know whenever.

Christmas!!!

Ok, so there was some back and forth going on with what we are doing about the gift exchange, and not everyone was in the loop on what we had tentatively decided. Here is the final on it - we are doing a white elephant exchange, but we will be doing it per family, with a $25 limit. The kids won't be having a seperate exchange, and neither will the adults. All the family per present, so keep that in mind when you get the gift. Good ideas would be games, a "movie night" basket, dvd's - be creative! No gift cards, that is kind of coppin out! We will exchange them as usual at Dad and Mom's Christmas morning. Mom and Dad will be included in this white elephant as well so that they (mom) won't go overboard as usual on the gifts!! But, feel free to get them their own gifts from yourselves, Jan has a very good idea, ask her about what she will be doing for them if you need an idea.
**Remember that Jesus Christ is the reason for Christmas!! **

Let's talk THANKSGIVING!!

Who is going to be here, who is doing what, blah blah blah. I'm assuming we're doing it at mom and dad's again since that seems to be the easiest for everyone. Rod and I will be there :)

So I guess let's see who's going to be in town and then we can break up the meal from there.

WOW!!!

My sister told me about this comercial and I had to view it for myself. It is so outrageous and I thought you guys might want to see it too.

Taylor's Blessing

Hey just a quick note to remind everybody that we are going to bless Taylor this next Sunday. Our church starts at 11. Hopefully we'll see everybody there and then maybe we could put together a bbq or something since it is also Angie's B-Day.
