The transition into 2009

Ben Favero on Christmas with his favoritest present...yard-o-beef.

KT, Joe, and Becca relaxing on the fence at the schoolhouse (at the 7F Ranch in Roberston, Wyoming on 12/29/08).




New Year's Eve trauma - right after midnight Ben and Becca saw us kissing and nearly reinacted it....yeah, it was weird. This video is the post trauma reaction.


Rachel and Jon caught in a laughing fit at the Favero home on New Year's Day.

Justin and KT. Nice shirt Justin...and smile.

Emily (Jeff's sister) and her 3 munchkins. Abigail showed up David and little William on this one - they must not have realized they were supposed to give a cheesy smile.

December came and went


Snow in Portland - this was the worst it got, and still many were going 15 MPH and had chains on their tires!


Scenes from the nativity story - reinacted by the extended Flamm family (on Jeff's Mom's side).
(12/20/08)

Granny and Grandpa Flamm looking great. Good picture.

Oh, there are the lovebirds at the Flamm Christmas Party.

And then the odd folks (Jeff's siblings) in this section of the party...Becca, Kaytie, Justin,
and Joe
at their best.

Ben and Teresa striking a pose at the party.

Us on Christmas Eve at the Spilker home (Teresa's parents).

Ben and Katie Spilker holding their niece, Brooke.

Jared Spilker with his crew (Brooke, Megan,
and Joshie).

Aren't these two adorable?
Sunday afternoon gathering for family pictures at the Spilker home (12/28/08).



Eliza Spilker (dancing for her baby cousins, Brooke and Megan) on Sunday.

Columbia River Gorge


Here are a few pictures (chosen out of the hundreds) that I (Jeff) took adventuring in the Columbia River Gorge on Sep. 23rd. Such great colors and beautiful waterfalls!

Looking from Chanticleer Point, with the famous Vista House on the right.

Latourell Falls.


Upper Latourell Falls.



Bridal Veil Falls.


Panoramic view of the gorge.


Fall was gorgeous!

Oregon Coast Aquarium and Yaquina Bay

While in Newport we visited the Oregon Coast Aquarium and the shops at Bayfront (at the docks of Yaquina Bay).


Freaky eels.


Freaky spider crabs.


Teresa touching stingray.


Jeff enjoying the feeling of being underwater with the fishies.


Teresa amongst the sharks.

Yaquina Bay Bridge seen from the Bayfront.


Seals at the docks of the Bayfront.


Teresa giddy as a schoolgirl at the candy store!
