A great perk of being in the military are the sometimes random family days where Kollan doesn't have to work. Last Friday (20th) they gave us a family day with some fun activities on base and a bbq. Karter loved the jumping house, petting zoo, pony ride, and dunking booth. Ty slept through it all.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! IT'S EMPTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" No, we don't give our 6 month old Diet Pepsi, but he sure loves to play with bottles. At this particular moment, he just wasn't happy and we thought it looked like such a cute Pepsi Ad picture.
We stayed a few days in Park City while Kollan had an Optometry Conference. It was so much fun, and we were so excited that Kollan's whole family met us there for the weekend! We went outlet shopping and swimming (this was Ty's first time swimming)!
While in Utah, we had some family pictures taken by Mike. I thought they turned out pretty well, especially considering Karter was sick and SSSSOOOOO grumpy that morning, plus it was raining. But as it turned out, when we went outside, Karter perked up a bit and the rain paused for a few minutes! Yea!
We had a great trip to Utah which started out at Grandma Bell's for Memorial Day weekend. We loved spending time with Gma and Max (her dog), and also loved that we got to see Kirk and Falycia (or as Karter would say "Aunt a-ee-sha"). The only down side to this trip was that Karter got pretty sick- doesn't that always seem to happen on vacation?
We were married August 23rd 2002 and are enjoying life with our 3 amazing children. We've lived in Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming and now we're back in Oregon again, where Kollan's enjoying his job as an Optometrist, and part buisiness owner.
