S Trail

It's so green, covered in plants, moss, and ferns, and so beautiful it feels like you are in a rainforest. It almost makes it worth all the rain. A hike that ends at the ocean, where you can jump in and get soaked(in your little mermaid undies if you're 4) what could be better? Noah loved getting to walk with his favorite little dog Bow alongside him. Addie loved collecting all the walking sticks he could find. A little something for everyone.

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!

My Karate Kid

It's true I tried to quit blogging. I'm just plain tired of it, but Jason really wants me to keep it up so I will try. Maybe just do several posts once a month. Like today, I did two. That's almost caught me up right? Not really but I'll try to stay on top of it. This is my little kung fu panda. He is loving karate and is the cutest little ninja out there. It's so cute when they do their positions and make their loud yells. I mean it's fearsome and awesome.
