FHE at a waterfall =D

We had a blast tonight hiking to a waterfall and jumping into the freezing water! It's so cool that we can just drive to some secluded place and be in almost a rainforest! 


The trail:



 A huge tree
 The waterfall!

Update

So, it's been a month since we moved here. Let me tell you, it has been a month of amazing memories =D


First of all....our house! I love love love being in a house where it is dead silent at night! I love having my own driveway, my own yard, and my very own mailbox! We have loved every minute of fixing up this place and making it better. Here's some before and after pictures of the past month's work:


Our Backyard:




We have a really nice overhang where we're gonna start grilling this summer:




Our huge living room, this is only about half of it, but I love the huge window!
The gross purple room that we definitely repainted!
A close up of the nasty stain, we ended up ripping up the carpet to expose the hardwood underneath
Our hallway


Rod and Hayleigh painting the living room

Forrest and Chris taking off wallpaper in our bedroom


Me filling holes
Mom cleaning the bathroom
Lots and lots of painting!






Our awesome fireplace!










Our finished kitchen accent wall, looking into the living room!
Blackberries!!! they're weeds here in Oregon, and they're nasty bushes! So we spent a saturday getting rid of all of them on our property!
Chris, the blackberry exterminator =D He's so hot ;)
No more blackberries!
This is some of the blackberries in the backyard....it measured out to be 14 feet long!!
All of the blackberries ready to go to the dump!
Roses
This picture was one of our projects of weeding and edging
