Brotherly and Sisterly Love



Cameron and Sofia really do play well together -
 Here are a bunch of photos of them having fun as brother and sister one Sunday after church.
I just stood back and snapped photos, even though they were in their church clothes, I held it in and didn't say a word,  I just let them roll in the grass and be silly, glad I did.












Cameron and Sofia just hanging out



These are pictures from September of Cameron and Sofia just hanging out together, love the look she is giving him...

She is saying I love my Juicy shirt (Aunt Corri and cousin Mackenzie gave it to her for her birthday), and it is one of her favorite shirts, she already has the knack for good style.



Watching TV, this is their favorite spot to lay on the couch.



Cameron's shoulder's are double-jointed and his arm can go way back, it looks a little gross at times.
He loves this little Remember Jesus wheel that he got from his primary class, it cannot be moved from the refrigerator he told me one day, okay I agreed.


She loves her princess shoes, in fact she loved them so much the first days she had them that they are the only shoes she would wear, so I took her to the grocery store with them on, and to the mall, it was the best while we were in Nordstrom shopping for me some shoes and here she is in the stroller with her "princess shoes" on, the salespeople really thought it was the best - they were calling her a future Nordstrom saleswoman... she loved every moment of it.

And those are Cameron's feet, he loves the shoes too!
The morning after we got them, he woke up first and so he came downstairs to watch some TV, well I hear this clank, clank, clank on the wood floor and had to chuckle because he was downstairs all alone just living it up in the princess shoes.  He'll die one day when he reads back on this one :)

Oh the simple things that can be so entertaining, he made this hat at his school art night last year - they love it and I am surprised it has lasted as long as it has.

Latourell Falls


In late September we decided to explore the Multnomah Falls area in Oregon (it's within 30 minutes from our home).  We chose Latourell Falls since it was an easy hike for Cameron and Sofia.
The drive was beautiful as was the hike and waterfall.
 





The leaves and moss and cobwebs in the trees were all very cool.


When we got back down the trail Cameron said "I am so tired" and just sprawled out on the bench.
 After a couple more pics, we got our picnic lunch and headed to the base of the waterfall to enjoy our food.





Sofia threw rocks in a little pocket of water while Cameron and Paris walked up the rocks of the stream, it made Cameron feel very adventuresome




Cameron joined Sofia for some more rock throwing, then Sofia screamed while Paris lifted her out so we could go eat lunch.  We found a great little spot under the bridge to eat our peanut butter sandwiches and chips.


Sofia was tired and almost fell asleep on me while we walked the trail back to the car.
We'll have to go do some more exploring of the falls, it was a lot of fun and very beautiful.
