More Pics of Fun in the Corn

The Corn Maize

This is how the girls looked when we finally got to the maze.

So today we headed out to Sauvie Island to find our way through a corn maze there. It was such a blast. We got there right before it closed so I think there was just us and one more family in there together. Taylor had a blast since she got to walk the entire way and carry her umbrella...even though it wasn't raining. Jason said it was like following Mary Poppins through a corn field. Probably her favorite part of the entire trip was an hour long game of hide and seek that her and I played with Jason and Rilee. Anyways, that's our latest adventure. Here's pics to prove it :).

We are a happy family!

Finally an Update

Thanks to Tamara Smith, we now have an update with Pictures!! Thanks for the reminder Tamara :)

Well lot's has happened since our last post. Both girls have had birthdays. Taylor tuned 2 on the 18th of July and Rilee turned 1 on August 14th. We celebrated pretty much the entire month long. We kicked of the parties with a "zoo party". We took a bunch of the girls's friends and thier families to the zoo, where Abby painted the kids's faces and we joined a million other kids for a fun day of gawking, crying and laughing. After we looked at all we could look at we met back at our place for pizza and cupcakes. We all had a blast. Within the next few weeks we had a party here at the house for each of the girls, plus a party with my folks and Jason's. Not to long after the girls's parties, we had one for me!!! So we've just been partying it up lately :)


The past couple of months we have finished up another quarter of chiropractic school, had a week long break, and are back in the saddle again. Jason is doing great in school. He had is best term yet as far as grades go and it was his hardest and busiest. So we are all feeling really proud of him. He's started his 9th quarter with a bang. Everyday he's been at the school from 7:00 to 7:00. It makes for long days for me and the girls, but we are getting back in our schedule and adjusting.

The girls are doing great. Taylor is hilarious. At dinner tonight her and Jason were telling "knock knock" jokes. She had no idea what was really going on, but she loved that we were cracking up at her. So it was fun. Rilee is so quite lately. She kinda sits in the background and observes her wild family. When she does decied to join in the "craziness" she jumps in with both feet. It's so much fun. We had a dance party today to the 80's music and Rilee got on her little princess skirt and was dancing with the best of them. Boy do I love these little girls.

Oh and both curly heads got their first haircuts. Rilee's little fly-aways finally got chopped off. It's amazing how different she looks. Taylor looks pretty much the same...just a bit tighter curls.

Well the pictures don't seem to be loading with this blog. I'm gointg to try and do a post of just the pics and see if it works.

Anyways, that's a bit of an update on us. Hope all is well with you and yours!!

The Youngs!

RILEE WALKS

The race to see who would walk sooner officially came to a close today. Last year on Father's Day Taylor began walking at just 335 days old. Ladies and Gentlemen, today Rilee scored her first ever victory walking at an even 305 days.

Wanna See? Here's a link to the video footage:

Jason's A Baldy

So today is June 13th, the day that the supporters of my cousin Cami were to shave their heads. We found out a couple of weeks ago that she is going through chemotherapy for breast and thyroid cancer. To show support, some of the guys in our family have shaved their heads and become "baldies" to help raise money for Cami's medical bills. Here's the address to her site. http://buyabaldy.blogspot.com/ Any and all donations are appreciated as her husband is in school and they have three small children, ages 3, 2 and 6 months. Anyways, check out her site. She amazes me with how brave she's been through this whole thing. I'm so proud!!

So back to Jason showing his support...well this morning he woke up at 6:45 and said "Today is the Day"!! I was still kinda out of it, so I had no idea what he was talking about. All the sudden I hear the clippers going in the bathroom. I ran in to take some pictures and see if he was really going to do it. So I don't have a before shot, but there are some "in progress" and after shots for all to enjoy. I guess he's gotten some comments at school regarding his new haircut. He said people start out giving him a hard time but once he explained why he did it and that it's not just a haircut gone wrong, people feel kinda bad. So he's having a good time letting people feel bad for teasing him :)

Happy Rose Festival Parade!!

Today we went to the Junior Rose Festival Parade in the Hollywood district. It was such a blast. The entire parade consisted of little kids, school bands and clubs that are around the Portland area. We went with a few mom's and kids that live here in our complex. We had such a blast! Here are a few pics! Enjoy!
