Nash Family Halloween 2009

The kids put in their costume orders for Halloween a few months ago and then POOF grandma made them appear. Once again Grandma Nash did an amazing job, Brooklyn's Eliza Doolittle was amazing!

Ruby- peacock

Otto- Bubafet (starwars)

Lily- Candy Corn Witch

Brooklyn- Eliza Doolittle (From My Fair Lady)

Ruby really got into trick or treating and couldn't get enough. She would yell at the kids at each house because she wanted to be in the front of the group. We let her eat all the candy she wanted, which was pretty much a mistake because she was wired and couldn't go to sleep that night. She was literally shaking and jumping with the sugar rush. Finally hours later we looked over and she totally crashed out. So, for those of you who say that sugar doesn't make kids hyper, (hint hint Nikki).....we saw it first hand in our house. Happy Halloween!!

The Nash Life On the Road

In August we loaded up the kids and headed to Las Vegas for a trade show for Knuckleheads....


Ruby was demanding........



The desert was dry and HOT..............


Daddy sang in the car........


We finally made it to the hotel and headed to the pool.........


Nothing is better than a cool pool in Vegas........





The new bridge being built over Hoover Dam.....



It was 114 this day at Hoover Dam, the kids were miserable...and I mean MISERABLE......







And finally show day..........


Although we enjoyed every bit of it, we decided that the kids are NW kids, we asked them if they would rather have 100 degree days in Vegas or a cool rainy gloomy day back home and they choose the cool rainy day..... I might even agree.

Family Outing to the Coast

I have been so busy traveling that I havn't had time to sit and post some pictures. I finally edited some of my favorite pictures that I took when my family came to visit. We stayed at our beach house on the coast and had a great time.
The kids put on a show for us and we roasted marshmallows and visited some beautiful light houses. My kids love their cousins so much, we just wish we could see them more!

It's a Knuckleheads Party

I have been traveling and on the road and just plain busy, so here are some new pics so you don't have to keep looking at the old ones on my blog.
These little guys had a Knuckleheads birthday party....how awesome it that???

Holland- no words

So, the last 4 weeks has pretty much been a blur to me, and I am still trying to recover from jet lag.

 

Since Sept 1st I have flown to LA, drove to Las Vegas (with the whole family), entertained 10 kids and 9 adults at our beach house at the coast, then 2 days later headed last minute to Holland to meet up with my parents and brother. 

Now don't think it is over yet...I head to New York in about 2 1/2 weeks then 2 days later to Florida where my baby bro is getting married. Obviously the trip to Holland was amazing and an experience that I will never forget, and was worth the trip. On the way home home I had an 8 hr flight to NY, then the 6 hr layover in NY and lastly a 6 hr flight home to Portland. My own bed has never felt so good before. 

Instead of words, I will let the images speak of my wonderful journey to Holland.  Home of my heritage, and home to many relatives that I had never met before and who welcomed us with open arms. I ate a lot and smuggled home 2 HUGE wheels of yummy dutch cheese and lots of yummy treats. 

(p.s. most of landscape images were taken with my iphone)

Off

Ok, I am off to Amsterdam for the weekend. It was a last minute trip and I can't wait. I have lots to fill in when I return!

Off to the races

I have been spending the week alone as my darling husband is hiking the rain forest's of Washington with the scouts. All in all, it hasn't been too bad, aside from the constant, " I miss Daddy, I am worried about Daddy" comments. This is the first time that we have been totally out of contact with Trent for this long, and the kids and I don't like it. Especially Brooklyn, she gets so worried and then gets the kids going, then they are all standing there at the top of the stairs crying. I am sure it was just a plot to stay up later or try to sleep in my bed, but it worked because I had 2 kids in my bed last night. So, much for having the whole bed to myself.

So, Trent will be home on Saturday, and will meet us down in Newport, Oregon for Brooklyn's swim meet. I will be down there already cheering her on. Wish us luck!

(Brooklyn is nervous again, and all stressed out, she is swimming 6 events total)

This is what summer is all about
