Lincoln City, Oregon Oct 2009

Well we're back from our way too short trip to Oregon. Boy, it's just such a neat place and we'll definitely be going back. LOVED LOVED LOVED it.

We rented a house ... it was non pretentious (humble?) and not luxurious, but was very comfortable. Kind of like Grandma's house or something. It was about a 10 min walk to the beach. I could really appreciate this place in the summer months. There were some very beautiful homes that were very pricey.

Here's the photos, enjoy!

In case you are wondering, this was the carpet that was on the WALL in my basement bedroom. Nice.

HALLOWEEN HOUSE

MAKE SURE YOU CLICK 'PLAY' ON MY MUSIC PLAYER FOR AN AWESOME SONG!

Here are some photos of my Halloween lights. This was *really* important to the girls; to have a 'spooky' house. It's not that spooky, but it's definitely fun. I'm not very good at photography ... I used three different settings on my camera, but it still isn't very adequate. Enjoy!

GREEK FESTIVAL 2009

Ian and I look forward to the Salt Lake Greek Festival every year!

Basically there is *one* reason why we go ... THE FOOD! This year we spent $30.00 on cafeteria style food. Can you believe that? I can! SO SO SO delicious!

We also went into the church for the first time ever. It's very beautiful. I took a photo, but I didn't want to use my flash, so it's a blurry photo, sorry.

I would really love to go to Greece someday.

Lydia's first day of Kindergarten

Thursday, August 27th was Lydia's first day of kindergarten.

She's been waiting a long time for this. At the very last moment, I received a call to say they were switching her kindergarten teacher because they had too many students and just hired a previous teacher to lessen the burden on the other teachers (there were 35+ students per class, now everyone has around 25-30).

Lydia's teacher is Mrs. Kunze. She's very beautiful, I'll have to get a photo.

Lydia had a fun time, but now this morning she's giving me a hard time and saying she doesn't want to go to school. WHAT THE?! She's been begging me for two years now to go to school with Lily, and now she doesn't want to go? Unbelievable.

Photos are in backwards order ... sorry ... so the ones with Lily are the girls walking home from school.

Greer Family Reunion

We had our Greer Family Reunion August 7 & 8 at Heber Valley Camp. Boy, it was a lot of fun. The cabins were great, the location was great ... I definitely think we could go there again. The girls and boys had such a fun time. It was difficult for me to make sure the babies stayed safe since they would/could wander away and there was a fire going in the fire pit. Ian really enjoyed himself. He loves the outdoors.

I'm afraid I only took 4 photos, but other members of my family took tons of photos, so as soon as I get those, I'll add them to this bloggy.
