Linda Loo Weekend Meets Ensign Ranch (2013)

Warning: There are a TON of pictures in this post. All in collages granted, but still a lot. For Linda Loo weekend 2013 we took the extended fam to one of our favorite family gathering spots in the Pacific NW--Ensign Ranch.

We had such a fun time hanging out by the river (riding log horses, skipping tons of rocks, finding snakes, fishing, and randomly meeting up with cousins-my cousins-who just happened to be visiting the ranch as well) ...

Aunt J couldn't resist her many photo shoots...

Car fun (run boys, run!) ...

Horse back riding (poor g-ma could hardly walk for a week after this escapade--what a good sport for doing the trail ride with the older grandkids!) ...

M and G dancing and posing as always:-) ...

M photo shoot ...

Random fun ...

Group photo shoot ...

Silly pics ...

Slip n' slide fun ...

Family impromptu talent show (our tradition!) ...

Get's a little crazy out there ...

More craziness ...

But so much fun!!

And, a family wagon ride (even talked cousins L and K--and their boy--into joining us). Don't think it could get any better than that!

And to finish off April, we have ... Earth-Day excitement! Porter's promposal to this sweet girl!! Which involved singing to her (with his bro. and buddies) in front of about 75 surprised onlookers. Happy Birthday to G-ma Loo:-) And sunny family day at the park ... Looks like the man bun is still going strong!;)

Baby Joseph

Another little miracle, Joseph Benjamin Dueck , arrived in our family September 5 th , 2010 at 3:23pm. Of course, every mom describes the birth of her children as miraculous--I know, I feel that way about each of mine--but in this case Joseph's healthy arrival really did turn out to be something of a miracle. But before I get into the story, I have some catching up to do since I haven't blogged at all about this pregnancy. So ... Here's me on the first day of school which was just two days before Joseph was born. Since I was taking pictures of the kids, James decided I needed one as well. I'm actually glad he did, because I had been meaning to get a picture of my baby "bump" for days if not weeks and hadn't gotten around to it. Of course, I thought I still had plenty of time to make it happen. And just very quickly, I have to throw out some highlights from this pregnancy which for some reason all have to do with Mae ... Mae telling me (during the first tri...
