Crazy Hats

I bought a new rain hat this past summer, have to get ready for the rainy winter season. Rose found the hat and thought she was something special wearing the pink hat. Silly Girl!

On our trip to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Rose found Mr. Potato Head's hat, and had to try it on.

College Bound

Saturday, Sept. 17th we loaded up the car and headed down to Corvallis, OR, home of Oregon State University - Go Beavers!

Kevin will be major in Engineering, but is also taking Spanish classes. He took Advanced Level Spanish in High School, so he will start out with a Jr. Level class in Spanish. Way to shave off two years!





For the next year, Kevin's new home will be Wilson Hall on campus.



OSU watch out, these three guys are now on campus. The party is just beginning.

Weekend at the Beach

Aug. 24-27th, Rose and I spent the weekend in Manzanita, OR with Grandma and Grandpa Goltz (my parents) and Rosie's cousins Darian, Anthony, and Choele. Our dear friends Evan and Sue let us rent their beach house for the weekend. The kids spent hours on the beach, playing in the sand and flying kites. It was cloudy and a little chilly on Saturday, so we spent the afternoon at the pool. We also celebrated Anthony's 7th birthday with birthday cake decorated in camoflage....it was hard to see the cake we were eating. (ha!ha!) On Sunday, we headed up to Seaside where Rosie and Anthony took a ride on the carosal and Grandpa, Darian, Anthony, and Choele went on the bumper cars. We had a great time at the beach with family.

Twins

I wanted my hair out of my eyes, as its growing longer everyday, so I asked Mommy if she would put ponytails in our hair. Here we are, we look like twins, with ponytails in our hair. My Mommy's so funny. I love her! -Rose :o)

Portland Rose Gardens

Friday, August 10th, Andy, Ryan, Rose, and myself took a quick trip to the Rose Gardens. The rose are still in bloom and beautiful. Rose had fun touching and smelling the Roses. Ryan didn't want to go at first, but he was glad to get out of the house. The weather was wonderful and it was a fun, relaxing activity to do in the afternoon on a sunny day in Portland.

Fun in the Sun!

On Wed. July 25th, the weather was nice so I asked Mommy if we could go outside and play. She thought it was a great idea....so I invited my friends, Hannah and Becca, to come over and play with me. Mommy set up the water table and the pool. It was a going to be a good day to be playing in the water. It's one of my favorite things to do, esp. playing with Henry's (our dog) water dish in the house.


Mommy put my bathing suit on and put my hair in pig tails...it looks so cute...I just couldn't stop smiling.




Here's another picture of me playing with the water table.













Mommy got creative with this picture....I'm playing with my friends, Becca and Hannah.













Becca and Hannah then decided to have a water fight. It was so funny watching them get each other soaking wet. I can't wait until I can join in the fun.

Rosie :o)

Woodstock Parade & Yellow House Brewing Extravaganza 2007

Saturday, June 14, 2007 was the Woodstock Parade and Festival. It was also Rosie's first parade last year...so we had to go to it again this year.

Rosie enjoyed the parade on her Daddy's shoulders.

Kevin's girlfriend Madaline was in the parade playing the bag pipes

After the parade, Andy and a bunch of his buddies came over for the "Yellow House Brewing Extravaganza"

As you can see, it was quite an operation with 3 brews going all day long

Rosie spent the day staying cool by playing in her water table - Thank you Grandma and Grandpa - I love it and have some much fun playing in the water. :o)

After a long day of brewing we spent the evening relaxing eating homemade ice cream - YUM!
