Oregon and Peterson Family Pictures (from July)

Back at the end of July Justin's family rented a house on the Oregon coast (Lincoln City) and we had a great time there with the whole family! We were a block away from the beach, went to the aquarium, saw a lighthouse, and even saw a pod of whales twice! We had a great time and we even got everyone together for a family picture! (which is quite the feat in any family, but especially in theirs! :) There are many people in the family who not only dislike getting organized family pictures, but despise it. Maybe there's some traumatic childhood occurence that happened while taking family pictures...hmm, maybe I'll have to look into that. Or maybe they were made to stand and smile for hours while getting family photos taken - oh wait, they did! Well, it was more like minutes, but I'm sure for some it felt like hours.) So here are a few of the memories we made:

Beautiful flowers in our front yard (if anyone knows what they are please let me know!) Braden and Kylee playing...or trying to pull on each other at least :)

Braden using Kylee as leverage to pull up to stand. He's going to have to learn some manners.

Yes, that is Justin wearing one of Braden's hats.

The three cousins! So cute!

Proud Grandparents

What a cute family!

I love this one. Dale told us all to kiss, and this is what happened...
