Saying Goodbye to Landon


We had an excellent time in Sunriver, Oregon for the Gurry Family Reunion. We always love attending the one week event in Oregon, but had an especiaaly great time this year since we missed the last one two years ago since Kyla was born the first day of the reunion. Sunriver was such a wonderful place to take Kyla and there was so much for her to do. The trip was great right from the start, Kyla's cousins Rory and Griffin wanted to do the drive down from Seattle with us to "babysit" Kyla in the car. She was so excited to have them that she never even cried during the 6 1/2 hour car trip and only took about a 20 minute nap. They had a grat time feeding her snacks and coloring and playing with sticker books with her.

We got to stay in a great house with Jon's Cousins Stephan and Matt, and Matt's wife Tiffany and their 17 month old son Landon. We were staying just across the street from Jon's parents, his brother and sister and their families so the kids were able to walk over to play with Kyla and Landon. We had a little blow up pool in the backyard and both Kyla and Landon had a blast playing in the water.

During our trip we took several trips to the swimming pool. Kyla loved playing in both the big pool with the waterslide and the small tots pool where she could walk around and play. She loved going down the waterslide tunnel and being caught by daddy. She also loved floating around in a float in the tots pool. We also took them to a larger pool and Kyla loved the big waterslide which she went down with Daddy several times. She really enjoyed playing in all the different pools and we would like to start going to the pools back in Alaska too so that she can continue enjoying being in the water and start learning to swim.

We also took Kyla and Landon to a great inflatable bounce house, inflatable slide and a toddlers inflatable playground at the Sunriver Village. They loved playing their so much that we made two trips there in just one day. We loved going to the village to take Kyla and Landon to Goodies candy and Ice Cream shop. We ended up taking them almost everyday and they really enjoyerd their specail treats.

We had a kids bike trailer at the house so we took Kyla and Landon on some small bike rides around where we were staying. They both were happy being in the trailer and it was fun to ride around on bikes. During the past family reunions we rode bikes everyday since there are such wonderful bike trails throughout the community so it was fun to get on bikes again.

We also took Kyla and Landon out to the stables one day after brunch to go on pony rides. We were not sure that either of them would even get on a horse, but they both loved it! They had so much fun that they did not even want to get off of them. When Kyla was done with her short pony ride she gave her pony "blueberry" a kiss!

On our last full day in Sunriver we took a small hike up to Benhamm Falls where Jon had proposed to me 6 years ago. It was fun to go back to the spot that he asked me to marry him in and to take Kyla with us.

We really had a great trip any enjoyed seeing all of the family. It was so much fun to see Kyla play with her 7 cousins and we can't wait to see everyone again!!!

Kyla's Birthday Party Invitation


Kyla had a wonderful second birthday with family in Sunriver, Oregon during the Gurry Family Reunion. We celebrated her birthday with a picnic in the park, cupcakes and plenty of fun playing on all of the playground equipment with her 7 cousins who attended. All of the kids enjoyed spoiling Kyla and following her all over the park helping her swing, climb the play equipment and go down the slides. Kyla had a lot of family who attended her party. Kyla got some wonderful presents from family. Grandma and Grandad got her a leap frog tag and a few books to go with it, a book, cute clothes, a ballerina swimsuit, a dress up outfit and a cute stuffed animal pony. From Aunt Shannons and Uncle Brads family she got an adorable outfit and matching headband. Uncle David and Aunt Lisa's family got her a very cute Dora doll and Jewelery. From Tony, Sharon, Matt and Tiffany we got a beautiful princess dress, a matching princess purse and several sticker books and coloring books and a Mrs. Potato head. She also recieved some money to buy gifts with, so we will go shopping at toys'r'us in Alaska. All of the kids made Kyla cards with cute drawing and birthday messages on them. Kyla had such a wonderful day and we were so happy to celebrate her birthday with so much family around.

In the evening we had all of the family who were at the family reunion over for a Lasagna dinner at the house we were staying at and had a big birthday cake afterwards. Kyla was sung "happy bithday to you" by a crowd of 48 people! She enjoyed the attention but was a little intimitaded by the amount of people surrounding her looking at her. She needed a little help from Daddy blowing out the candle and then the rest of the night kept saying "Candle, blow it!", I think she was wishing she had blown out the candle herself.

Kyla was so happy all day and loved playing dress up with her princess dress, princess purse and Jewelry. We are so happy that she had such a special day and truly enjoyed every minute of her second birthday.
