We visited Donut Falls yesterday for a family outing. My parents came along also to grill come hamburgers and hot dogs. We had SO much fun. This place is very pretty! So many trees and a large flowing river close for kids to throw rocks. I made some salads and cut up some watermelon, the flys sure liked all the food! We stayed up there for about 4 hours and just relaxed. We are going to come back to hike the trail to donut falls. I didn't wear the right shoes to do it this time (I never do). There were a lot of campers and hikers out.. Guess the gas prices aren't changing the travel much. We are headed to Cortez Colorado over labor day for 4 days to see the old indian ruins. I am very excited about that. When we get our pictures downloaded I will show you some more of donut falls.

WE'RE PREGNANT!!!

I am only a few weeks but we are SO excited! The estimated birth is beginning of March. We are hoping for a boy but will be happy with either.

Visit to the Salt Lake

Antti and I were able to spend some quality time with just Liana recently. My parents took Eila for the weekend so we decided to drive to the salt flats to look around. I don't like that place much. It's stinky and there are alot of brine flys. I mean ALOT!! They look like dark maggots or something. Anyway, the view was nice but there is no way I would step into that water. We took some pictures and also spotted a snake. Antti had the best time out of all of us :)

Eila's birthday!

We had a great time at Eila's party. Since we already have so many toys and enough clothes to last another 6 months or longer, we decided to rent a bounce house instead of buying presents. It was a winner! She loved it and so did all of her friends. We had all our close friends and family enjoy a nice summer lunch. It was definitely memorable.

Oh Finland, how we love thee!

Well it's time for an update because I've got lots of great pictures from our trip to finland. It was purely magical. It had it's rainy days and sunny days. It was all I wanted it to be. Thanks to everyone who made it special.
