Five Months Already!

Two posts in one day! Ethan turned 5 months on the 17th of this month. With it has brought so many changes. He is sitting in his Bumbo chair, rolling over..both ways, and is big enough to play in his excer-saucer his buddy Brady loaned him. Ethan is doing fabulous, and although periodically we have a tough day....he is as calm, cool and relaxed as ever. He has proven to be a great traveller. Travis and I often count our lucky stars regarding having such a good mellow baby. We are looking forward to the Fall and have thouroughly enjoyed our summer. Although it went by way too fast. We are headed to Cannon Beach for Labor Day weekend. We hope everyone has a safe, fun long weekend. The Hoovers

Bandon Weekend

This past weekend we cruised down to Bandon to visit our friends the Robisons. Travis and Daren played in the yearly golf tourney together and actually Won in a chip/putt off. It was very exciting. More exciting was meeting Daren and Jaunita's new baby boy Cody. He is precious and Ethan and him enjoyed hanging out together. We always love our time in Bandon, and are looking forward to returning in Oct. to help with cranberry harvest. The Hoovers

Multnomah Village Days

This weekend our little Multnomah Village celebrated it's 100 year Birthday. There was a parade and festival on Saturday. Travis, Ethan and I walked down and watched the parade and wandered through the shops. It was fun to see so many people out. Travis ran into a buddy from college who just happens to live with his wife just down the road from us. Hope everyone had a great weekend, and beat the heat. Take care, The Hoovers

Priest Lake '08

Hello crew! We just returned home from our yearly vacation to Priest Lake. We had an extremely relaxing and wonderful trip. We hung out by the water, played cards, caught up on the Hollywood smut (read our magazines), and went on plenty of boat rides. Ethan loved being at the lake and around all the family and friends. We had plenty of babysitters. His cousin Laurel was especially good with him. He wasn't too fond of the lake quite yet, but loved sitting in the shade on the beach and looking at it. Trav played golf a couple of times, and I got to start every morning with a 7am waterski. I was in heaven. I also tried wake surfing which was a blast. We are happy to be home, but can't believe the weather!! 104 today! Too hot for us. We need to be back at the lake! Hope everyone is doing well. The Hoovers
