New kid on Campus

Dear Cutler,

You just started preschool and you're loving it. You love to learn, and you are very good at it.

I love your silly personality, and your desire to make people smile. Keep being kind hearted.

You make me feel so special when you wrap your arms around me and say "Oh mom, your the best."

Every 'popper' kiss is cherished. {a made up kiss that he gives to his favorite people}

Lately all I can get out of this kid are funny faces he likes to pull at the camera.

I love you.

Love,

Mom

Hood River Weekend

This made me laugh... Kapri walked under the pine tree, and sat.

looks so comfortable, right?

It was such a hot day. Look how flushed her cheeks are.

 Don't mess with this kid...

She may look innocent and sweet...

but this girl is BUSY. or i'm out of shape.

She goes. and goes. and goes. and goes and.... goes

Have you heard her sing? or babble? it is non-stop. She knows what she wants, and gets it.

Can we say INDEPENDENT. I don't know where she gets that from.

Don't get me wrong. I love it.

And how could you not adore this face?

Labor Day Weekend- Part 1

Our good friends Sam and Jim came in town for labor day weekend.

What a beautiful weekend. The weather was warm, so we headed to the beach.

We started at Oceanside. 

I LOVE living close to the coast. One of my favorite parts about being in Oregon.

It was warm enough to SWIM!

 What do you do when your kid gets swallowed by a wave?

Grab your camera of course. Tommy was pretty sad :(

Gorgeous Samantha, and her daughter Aisley.

Cutler loves searching for seashells, rocks,

 and building sandcastles! 

Joe, Kapri, & Cutler playing in the water.

 Summertime freckles. Those didn't last very long.

 Here we are at Cannon Beach. It was BUSY. We dove into town for Ice cream, and taffy.

The kids were pretty well spent after that.

Here is Cutler on the way home. Look at his little stache....

lol. He got it from drinking from a SoBe bottle, popped the blood vessels above his lip.
