Aunt Mandy Visits

We had a great couple of days with Mandy and we love her very much. We miss her already and hope she can come back again soon so we can laugh, exchange books:shows:diet recommendations, assist me at photo shoots, be in more of her own shoots, shop, eat caramel popcorn and generally have an awesome time together!

Sunday Evenings with the Family

We walk down our favorite trail to the beach. We see horses, flowers, and dogs. We skip, or throw, rocks. We wait on the bridge for the train to go by. We talk, laugh, generally enjoy each other's company. It is such a blessing to be able to live so close.

The Oregon Coast

Memorial Day weekend 2011! We had a great weekend spent on the Oregon Coast with our good friends. We visited the beaches, the Tillamook cheese factory, Cape Meares Lighthouse, Fort Stevens, and a beautiful drive up the coastline. Three days filled with sand, junk food, swimming, beautiful views, and lots of happy kids. Two nights with games, movies, more junk food, and lots of tired kids. Not to tired to stay up late though--giant sleep over party! What a great time we had, not to mention this is an adventure the kids won't soon forget!
