Family photos

Last year, we took advantage of a Groupon for JC Penny portraits. I think they came out pretty well. Vienne was able to sit still for a few minutes (always a miracle!) and I must say we are a darn good lookin' family. For comparisons sake, I've included two other professional family photos that we've taken in the past. Time flies!

Mother/daughter camping trip

Back in July of 2014 (yes, I'm that far behind with the blog!!), Vienne went camping with her Momma at Suttle Lake near Bend, while her Papa was at a work related camp, Caldera, just up the road. Momma and Daughter had a very good time, including swimming, eating hot dogs, mini hikes, playing board games, reading, smores by the fire and snuggling in the tent. It was also very warm, topping out in the 90s. Thankfully, they had plenty of sunscreen available.

Some of the antics:

New kitty cat!

Back in June of 2014 (yes, I'm that far...sigh....) we had a new addition to the Doucette-Hardy household: Sunny Doucette-Hardy, our new kitty that we adopted from Friends of the Felines here in Salem. Sunny has been a fine addition to our ever growing family (there will be 15 of us in August!) and he is a very fun and loving cat. We love him so much.

Disneyland pictures: Best of the best!

Enjoy!

Finally....Disneyland trip!!!

Yup, I realize I'm behind quite a bit in updating this blog in a timely fashion. It's something I've been working to improve...but, you know, well...it's hard living up to that promise when you have a 4-year-old running around the house!

Anyhow...feast your eyes on the video of our Disneyland trip that we took back in May. Yes, that May. It was a complete blast!

The video is too big to upload to Vienne's blog, but it can be viewed by clicking on the You Tube link below. Please give yourself 37 minutes to watch it.  :)

Father's Day

Jumping ahead to June...I had the distinct honor and privilege to be serenaded at Vienne's school for Daddy's Day!  The kids were a little out of tune and a lot out of sync, but NO ONE cared.

Finally!

In May of this year, Vienne finally went down the big slide at Playdates PDX all by herself. I still had to ride with her a couple of times first, but once she did it on her own, she didn't want her 'ole Papa to be anywhere near the slide after that. (tear rolls down cheek)
