Monday, July 18, 2011. Sommercorn family reunion 2011 was in Lincoln City, OR this year. We all drove in from north, east, and south to share some fun memories and a large beach house. The weather just started warming up as we arrived. Although it barely warmed up above 70 degrees, it was sunny the whole time so we could enjoy some outdoor activities. We did a quick hike together to a big waterfall. The hike was just a way to burn a few calories before we headed to. the Tillamook Cheese Factory! We spent...

Saturday, June 18, 2011. The kids are growing and changing so fast! Elliot is sitting up on his own with the occasional topple. Will's photography skills are slowly but surely improving. Elliot's head is cut off, but at least he's in the center. Will is also getting so good at reading! This stamp book says, "You need to watch TV and do fishie, and no clipping nails." In truth, he can recognize his name and some letters, but that's about it. Elliot started eating food! Thursday, June 2, 2011. This morning...

Friday, May 20, 2011. Am I really doing the peace sign with a grown woman who is significantly shorter than me? Why yes. In order to survive with my Japanese companions during my mission, I tried to assimilate into the Japanese culture as much as possible. I ate rice and fermented soybeans for breakfast. And I liked it. I covered my mouth when laughing and chewing food. I fastidiously sorted the trash. When I saw a white person I thought, "What are they doing here? That's my excuse for posting this one m...

Friday, February 10, 2012. This one is developing quite the attitude. I don't really mean attitude in a bad way. He is 14 months, and I guess that's about the time kids start showing a lot more personality and determination to follow their own agenda. He likes to do things to make us laugh like hiding in the curtains, sticking his tongue out, and shouting gibberish. Britton had a golden birthday turning 29 on the 29th! One of the cards said, "Knock knock. Who's there? 30" We are still in denial. We could...

Sunday, September 16, 2012. Summer is just about over for everyone, and that will finally include us too. Britton starts work next Monday, and our summer traveling days will be over. We had a great time this summer going to many places near and far. Unfortunately the Fourth of July fell on a Wednesday this year. What do you do with that? So we attended the annual Sommercorn family reunion the weekend before the holiday. This year we traveled to McCall, Idaho for some fresh mountain air. I have to...We sp...
