 |
| Brooke (green sweatshirt on the right) sold 18 items for the school fundraiser, which earned her a limo ride with these other kids. It took them from school to Godfather's Pizza for lunch and back to school. |

 |
| Lots of rain and cold, but we climbed up the Astoria Column and flew airplanes off it. |
 |
| And went to the new Peanuts movie. |
 |
| To wet for a campfire, so we tried to roast marshmallows over the toaster. Just putting them in the microwave worked better. |
 |
| Dumping Knex out on a Sunday. |
 |
| It took me 6 1/2 years to fill up the first blood donor card, I wonder how long it will take me to fill up the next? |
 |
| Zach got to wear reverse head gear for a few months. Not fun for him at all, but he only had to wear it at bedtime. It was supposed to pull his top teeth forward to fix the underbite. |
 |
| Put Gabe to work! |
 |
| Thanks to the summer reading program, we got "free" tickets to see a Portland Trailblazer basketball game. You don't get any more nosebleed than this! |
 |
| Go Blazers! |
 |
| Thanksgiving with ALL the Nelsons! We love Tom's deep fried turkey! |
 |
| Nicholas had a little problem with the flour while trying to make chocolate chip cookies one Sunday. |
