A little of this and a little of that

Hello? Anyone out there still stop by? We are alive. All is well. Just busy. Somehow I blinked and a month went by. Along with many other things. The end of October found us at the beach enjoying a mini vaca with Kendra and Jesse.

The boys
Jack

Sisters! And as you can see the weather was beautiful!

Uncle fun!

Playing in the sand...fun and dirty!

Shark attack :) bahahaha

Top of the Astoria column...amazing views, and a lot of stairs!

Of course we had to check out the Goonies house!

Love that sign!

It was an awesome trip, beautiful weather, fun times exploring and a great break from our busy lives at home. I'm thinking we might have to make this a monthly ritual!

Fourth of July Weekend

Happy 5th of July! This weekend we had a tons of fun playing in the sand, soaking up some sun, riding bikes and just spending time together as a family. Saturday morning we headed over to Lincoln City, the weather was overcast and chilly and I was just thinking how wrong the weatherman had been when it suddenly cleared up! We ended up with one of the hottest, most beautiful days on the Oregon coast I have ever seen!

Nothing like a bonfire on the beach


You tired yet? And this is just two days worth of beach fun! Monday we hit the river with more sand and water and sun fun!

I think he's starting to get tuckered out!
