3 p.m. Wednesday afternoon

As of 3 p.m. yesterday it was still pouring buckets of rain. The river's level hadn't changed much from this for a long time it seemed.

Looking out from the kitchen window there is now two steady streams of water
pouring into our side of the river bank. This is the Tillamook River by the way. All the water to the left in the picture is the fields behind the barn across the river from us. Up closer. Yesterday afternoon it looked like this might be all the river was going to do.

Looking from our living room to the barn across the river. I am glad I went into town to pick the boys up earlier. Russell had to walk through all the water to get home. There has been a new development but I can't take pics until it gets lighter first...

I keep waiting anxiously for each post and your pictures to know what's going on. It seems like I remember this happening to your house a year or two ago. Is that right?

It happens every year. Sometimes more than once. Each time it's a little different. I just figured I would post a flood at our house in it's progressive stages. Just in case I didn't have anything else to do! lol

I just love this picture! The beach...it's the place to be!

I think this was in 2004. It was Nephi's first trip to the beach. The boys were all so little! My have they grown.

Meet the Parents...Russell and Candace
It all started for us when Russell left for Cape Town South Africa on a mission. Candace felt inspired to write him - so she did! We wrote for 3 1/2 years. Candace came home from her mission to the Texas Houston East Mission and we dated for 5 months. We married in July 1994 and have been happy ever after!
