Drum roll please....

Okay, I can't bare the thought of all our blogger fans (and I use that term loosely) losing sleep at night over the fact that we (and by we I mean me) have not updated this blog FOREVER!!!! So in consideration of all fans (all two or three of you....) here is an update on our crew since the last time we posted anything big back in June.

What better way to update than through pictures? Here goes.....

Went fishing with Grandpa Gerber in June

Got to see Grandpa Kennedy one last time in July

Crawdad fishin with Uncle Joel and Carlie

Carson hit the big 6!

The pretty gals

The Fam in August

Bought Our First House in August!!!

Lovin the big back yard

Carson's first day of school!

Standin' on a corner in Winslow, AZ.......

Mark and Taylor's big day

Carson catching his 3RD garter (don't think he'll have any trouble tying the knot)




Syd turning 1 (not as messy as we were thinking)

A birthday pic

Paul turning....old

Carson getting Student of the Month Award

Salmon in the Columbia River at McNary Dam (pretty cool)

Carson lookin for fish in the fish ladder/window (he should have put on his harry potter glasses)

Carson and creepy clown at the corn maze

Halloween '09 (no Andrea, we didn't take your idea!)

Sweet Pumpkins (daneen did the star wars and I did the avatar)

Syd trying to be like her brother (she'd get mad if you took off her backpack)

Syd with an awesome shirt on an awesome hair day


Well, I think that about sums up the last 5 months or so. We are doing great up here in Oregon. Grandma Kennedy is here staying with us for a while. It has been great to have her here. It's getting colder though so I'm not sure how much longer she will want to be here. She walks around the house with a coat on all the time while I want to crack open a window... Daneen is keeping busy with Sydney. Now that she's walking she is a handful and a busy body. Daneen has also been doing an awesome job of finishing up with the unpacking. We can actually park our car in the garage now! I am still enjoying my job. I work with some great people and I can't complain about my work environment either. Since we've been here I have seen whitetails, mule deer, elk, antelope, rocky mountain goats, bighorn sheep, a bear, turkeys, pheasants.... I can't wait to start hunting again.

So, if I missed something, oops. If you need some filler material or a better timeline, let me know. I'll see what I can do. Hopefully we (and by we I mean me) will do a better job with the blog now that things are getting to a normal, well regular, paced life.

Thank you, Paul! LOVE all the pics. Sydney's walking! She's looks like such a big girl. And props to Carson for getting student of the month. Way to go, buddy!

We miss you guys! Especially with Thanksgiving coming up. We're total loners. We had to invite ourselves to a friend's house so we wouldn't have to eat turkey alone.

Give the kids big hugs from their cousins.

I LOVE all the pics! Thanks for sharing! Looks like an eventful 5 months. I can't believe Carson is such a big kid...and student of the month. Impressive. :) Sydney looks adorable! Congrats on the new house, by the way. Looks fantastic! Love the back yard. So good to hear how you are all are doing. Keep those post coming. :)

Well, it was about time. Mom and I check your blog pretty much every day and we were about to give up on the idea of seeing an update.

Loved the pics.

Take care,

Dad Gerber
