Ethan @ flag football

Ethan had a good game on Saturday. Especially on defense! He had two QB sacks and two pass break ups. One of which should have been an interception.

Drew's breakfast this morning

Drew decided he wanted bananas on his wheat chex this morning. I had to laugh when I saw he broke the banana into big chunks instead of having me slice them up for him.

Christmas Fun

We had a great Christmas this year! Santa was good to us.

Santa brought us an electric go cart. Yeah even Jenna had some fun driving it!

Carmel Apples

In honor of the Fall Season, we decided to make some Caramel Apples last night! They were delicious! I think Drew skipped eating the apple and just ate the caramel off the outside of the apples! He knows that good stuff! We'll be carving pumpkins on Wednesday and hope to get them up on the blog!

Mount Vernon Bike Ride

Jenna wanted to do a long bike ride for her birthday date. So we went down to DC and road the Mount Vernon Trail that goes along the Potomac river from Roosevelt Island to Mount Vernon. Here's a link to more information about the trail and a map. http://www.bikewashington.org/trails/vernon/index.php

It was a great ride! Beautiful views and nice paved trail. It was 18 miles each way!

Yeah we were a bit too adventurous! 36 miles was a lot further than we should have gone, but we sure enjoyed the challenge! Jenna is always up for a challenge, we just couldn't turn around before we made it to the end of the trail. Our return trip was a little slower, but we made it back and just have few sore muscles to prove we did it!

Here are two pictures one with Jenna at Mile 0 at Mount Vernon (proof we made it) and one at the parking lot at the North end (mile 18).

Jenna - Thanks for the great bike ride!

Trip to Mackinac Island

We had a fun week visiting Grandpa & Grandma Hofer last week! Below are a few pictures from our adventure!

Our Oregon Trip

We got back late Thursday/early Friday from our trip to Oregon. We had a great time with Joe, Edith, Sofia and Dad Smith!

Here are a few pictures from the trip. We hit Multanomah Falls, downtown Portland, and out to the beach.

Thanks to

Edith, Joe and Sofia for being such wonderful hosts!
