We discovered the multiple talents of family members during our Thanksgiving Holiday with the entire family.

Halloween at our House

Halloween at our house was kinda quiet this year until the neighborhood children began to come to the house.

Can you guess who these scary neighbors are?

Kathy and Rod have been busy the past few months with the Yes on Proposition 8 campaign in California. It started with walking precincts in August to delivery yard signs and now we have been helping with standing on the Raley's corner waving 'Yes on 8' signs.

It has all been rather fun but not without some fear and trepidation in doing something that we are not used to be doing. There apears to be a lot of people in our area that agree with us, because of the thumbs up and horn honks we get when on the corner, however there a re a few that yell and make other hand signs.

We both feel that we are on the Lord's side and are convinced that we are at his battle front in helping with the fight against gay marriage proponents.

We encourage all our family to stand with the Lord and help in our stand for truth and rightousness.

American River Rafting

This past weekend was full of fun with all the family (except Liz and Mary) for the baptisms of Rachel and Joshua.

Dad planned a fun outing with all the boys older than age 4 in the family. They went rafting down the American river Monday afternoon.

Most of them got wet, some not be accident. what fun !

Kaylee Rose

Kaylee Rose was the honored guest at the Chapman residence this week as she joined the family reunion. Grandma and Grandpa had so much fun with her and the rest of the Chapman and Mavy family. Mark even joined in the fun in Clearlake.

Joe's mom and her husband came and we had a fun barbeque with too much to eat.

Now that the July 4th is over we are looking forward to resting on Sunday.

We sure LOVE our family and every person in it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amaryllis

The Amaryllis is blooming and it is beautiful !

Depot Bay

When we arrived home following our trip to Utah and Nevada, Mom and I headed for Depot Bay, Oregon where John and Linda Halverson would also join us for a couple of days. This was to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary and Mom's birthday.

The time was fun and we had a great time in Lincoln City shopping and in Newport visiting.
We had lunch at Newport harbor on Wednesday with John and Linda and had exotic sea food. I got to eat dungenous crab and mom ordered mussels, which she was not too fond of. She added a salad that work out better.

We saw the seals at the harbor and also found it restful listening to the ocean from our unit where we stayed.
