We Went to the Portland Zoo!

We were talking on night about going to the Zoo, so we took off the next monday from work and went up to the Portland Zoo. It was the first time that Corey's girlfriend Ashlyn was able to go on a family trip. It was alot of fun, and we can't wait until we can take another trip. The happy Family at the Zoo.

Butte to Butte on the 4h of July

Every year on the 4th of July as a family we walk the Butte to Butte. We have been walking it for 19 years. The McCluskey family has been doing it for the last 7 years. This was Ben's second year. It is fun, and after we do the Butte to Butte we go out to Breakfast.The McCluskey family minus Corey. He didn't want to get out of Bed. He had a Sunburn.

Albertsons Mommy's with their babies

I have worked for Albertsons for almost 12 years, and during that time have worked with some great people. When I found out that I was pregant with Ben. There were also two other people pregant at the same time as me. Sunny was due in Febuary, and me and Samatha were due on the same day in April. Benjamin was born premature at 29 weeks, and was 3lbs 3oz on January 18th. Cameron on the left was born 4 days later, and Sophia was born in the start of April. We thought it would be great to get the kids together for play dates.

Play Date #1 in April-May of 2007

Cameron, Sophia, and Ben

Sunny, Cameron, Samantha, Sophia, Ben, and Nicole(Me)

We enjoyed our play dates at a lot of different dinners during the last year. I was talking to the girls about how we enjoy getting together, but we realized that the kids never got to play. The boys are now 17 months old, and sophia is 14 months old We invited the kids over to our house to have a play date with dinner. All of the kids are walking except Ben who just wants to take his time. We thought that maybe they might be able to teach him how to walk.

Sophia

Samantha, Sophia, Sunny, Cameron, Ben, and Me. It was really hard trying to get them to all look at the camera. We are playing patty cake to get them to smile.

Corey's Graduation Party

I Just wanted to post some events that happened during the month of June. Corey gradated from High School, and we had a graduation party while our family was still in townCorey opened up all of his cards, and gifts. He recieved lots of great things. Everyone can remember that money is always the gift that you really enjoy. Corey really loved his tickets to Dave Mathews at the Gorge with his 3 day Camping Pass. He gets to take a friend with him (Kenneth), and they get to enjoy 3 concerts, and camp out. It should be really interesting to see what they will eat while they are gone.

The Great Big Group!

This is our Lunch Line.
