Aunt Beth's Baby

Jasper Jackson Walker arrived in June. We went down to Jackson Hole, WY for his blessing in August. He is just adorable.

Back to School

Jayden, Cooper, and Micah unanimously decided to go back to school this year. What luck for me! Micah is a new Kindergartner and super happy. Bedtime is so much easier now. Jayden went off to Middle School. She's just as beautiful inside as on the outside. Cooper has moved on to third grade and is loving the football season.

We made it back from California the night before school started, because education is important!

Tug Lived

We brought a new puppy home from Iowa in June and named him Tug. Tug caught the virus "Parvo" and nearly died. After much prayer and fasting by a bunch of sweet kids, he lived! He has recovered and back to being a stinker.

Fort Bragg, CA

Jared was lucky enough to work for Dave and Darla Paoli while schooling in Oregon. We had to see them! They have 27 acres on the ocean shore line which was a blast for all ! We saw (and smelled) a dolphin corpse, baby shark skeleton, lots of shells, and sand dunes for miles. The water was COLD. Thanks Dave and Darla, we'll come back.

I still have sand in the pockets of my shorts from that day. What a piece of heaven.

Getting Out

There was so much to see in California. Our friends Greg, Stacey, Dane, and Asher were amazing hosts. We were able to visit Turtle Bay, a Science Works Museum, and more. Beautiful birds and wildlife, gorgeous scenery and lots of water. Stacey is pregnant in the photos, so we'll show the boys.

California Trip

The kids and I took a drive to California. Along the way we stopped by Klamath Falls, OR to show Cooper where he hails from. Our dear friends couldn't wait to show us around the Redding, Shasta, Yreka area. We had the most fun right there at the Neitsch house amongst the chickens and whipped cream!
