2009-09 Eagle Crest

I taught Trevor how to get rid of his hiccups....they didn't stay away forever but it did work. All you have to do is plug your ears and take 10 drinks of water from a straw...I know sounds crazy but it works every time.

Of course we hit the putting course....I still love it. The first time I had my best round ever. No I didn't beat Trevor or Ryan. The second time I hit dad in the shin with a ball....yeah I was mad and didn't see him there. :O) OOPS

2009-09 Eagle Crest Metolus River

Mom, Bethany, Alyssa and I went to Sisters while the boys were playing golf and did some shopping. Then we headed out to see the Head of the Metolius River. The pictures don't really do it justice but it is really cool because the river just kind of runs right of from the side of a hill.

When we were in sisters a lady at a store told us about Camp Sherman. She said they had a fun store and it was beautiful and nice to just get a drink and sit. So we checked it out. It was beautiful and looked like a very fun place to camp.

2009-09 Eagle Crest Hike

It was Bethany's first time at Eagle Crest so for all of you that have been there this is the walk down by the river. It's always pretty and the weather was great.

We got to see some swans

Mom has more picture I hope to get from her to post.

Eagle Crest-Silver Falls

The last full week of September Alyssa and got to go to Eagle Crest with Mom, Dad, Trevor, Bethany, & Ryan. It was tons of fun. Monday Ryan had to take the van full of his stuff to Corvallis so we went to Silver Falls. Alyssa did not want to drive that far so she stayed back at the condo. Silver Falls is as pretty as ever. There wasn't as much water running but still nice.

Ryan climbing anything he can

Isn't this a sweet picture of Ryan and Mom....LOVE IT!!!!

Trevor had the hiccups on and off for the whole trip. While we were at Silver Falls mom decided to try and scare them away. She tried the normal hide behind a tree and jump out and scare him. This never work....so she decided to try something a little more extreme. I'm not sure if this picture was before or after but look at how cute the tree of them look...now look behind them, there is a cliff and two bars....mom got right up to Trevor and started to shove him over the railing....ok we all know she would never really do it but she scared him alright. It was hilarious and scary at the same time...and no the hiccups didn't go away.

This is the video Ryan took after Mom tried to scare Trevor

Ryan's Passthrough to Utah Visit

Ryan had a week of work off so we were able to convince him to come for a visit. On his way by to Utah for a few days he and Alisha (not sure if I spelled that right) stopped by for lunch and a short visit.

The kids told Ryan they had a song to sing for him outside (AKA Uncle trap...Trev knows of these :O) When he went out they threw some water balloons at him. Prior to this he knew they were up to some kind of mischief and he really didn't want to go outside to find out what it was. But being the fun uncle that he is he sucked it up and went. After all the whining about not being fun and not wanting to go out he ended up soaked to the bone and played for quite a while with the kids and the hose.

Of course in true Ryan/Nick fashion he had to do the run and leap over something to get the kids....it was very fun to watch.

Here's the leap

The jump

The tuck and role
The attack.....oh to be able to do that and not kill yourself. That use to be me....as evidence by my last trampoline flip...not me anymore.
