Happy Birthday Dad

A few weeks ago was Brian's birthday. We celebrated by going out and getting the Computer he has been saving up for. Our new computer is a mac book. It takes just a little bit of getting used to the differences but I really like it. The best part is we can chat with Grandma and Grandpa, and Uncle T and Aunt R. The kids love it and have lots of fun saying goodnight to every one. Hope you had a good birthday dad and we will not tell how old you are :)

Labor day at the beach

Yippee a family day!

Time for sun and sand

We headed down to the beach for just the day last Sunday with Grandma and Grandpa riding along. What an amazing day! We went down thinking the weather would be bad but we would enjoy the day together. We stopped at the outlet mall to do a little Children's place shopping! Next stop was Winema we got to sit right next to Miss Melney and her family that was so much fun. The kids loved see all of them and the extra time. I loved how relaxing it was just to be there and spend some time together and some one on one time with each of the kids. I took over 200 pictures so to limit it to just a few to share was hard. So here is a few of my favorites from the day.
Daddy took this when Little Miss and I didn't know we were being watched playing in the water.

Daddy and Little Mister being watched this time :)

Little miss was not to sure about the sand at first she needed to think about it for a bit.

She thought about it and sounds like fun!


Little Mister is searching all over for things to add to his "belection"

"just how big is the ocean mom"

Little Miss loved the water so much. She wanted to play in so bad. We all took turns watch her run back and forth.


All in all and amazing family day!

obt exposed

Last Friday we went down to Oregon Ballet theater exposed with my sisters and friend Jess. The kids had so much fun. Little Mister kept telling anyone who would listen he was not a dancer he was a Jedi. The girls loved watching the dancers and sharing a snack. Miss M and Cousin A became instant friends. Are you surprised as they are both as sweet as can be!

It's seems the Jedi has distracted the girls once again from looking at the dancers.

friends and ballerina's too

Little Miss watching and moving here feet with the dancers.

Miss L watching and dreaming...


Miss L is so cute I had to show her picture again. Her mom did a great job on the tutu.

Ok so we have been really busy and I am behind on updates. Last weekend was so busy we had the last of swim and sports class for the kids. Then an evening with the G family bbq, playing at the park and games. Sunday was church then off to Cousin K's birthday.
At swim class Daddy got to take little miss down the water slide that she loved! This girl has no fear and loves to try new things.

At sports class little mister had lots of fun. He even got an award and a stamp on his hand for being part of the team. Way to go little guy we are so proud of you.

We joined Grandma, Grandpa, Grammy, Uncle T, Aunt R, and Uncle M for a great evening of fun. Little Miss got a new outfit and Little Mister got this amazing Darth Vader head that talks and changes your voice when you talk in the mask. We enjoyed a yummy dinner, adventures at the park and a mighty great game of nertz. I won't say who won because that would be bragging :) however there was a lot of sabotage going on which made the game that much more fun!


I will post some pictures of the birthday party later this weekend. Hope you all enjoy your cool Labor Day weekend!

downtown

We went down town today with Cousin A to see the Oregon Ballet Theater dance practice outside. oops that is next week! So instead we played in the park after our stop at the children's place where Little Miss got a new hat...


The kids played and let me take few pictures of them and Cousin A danced for us so we could say we saw a ballerina today. Little mister played like he was Luke skywalker on another planet. He made a few people smile at his game.

The best group shot I could get with this crazy crew.

We ended the day with a rare treat for my kids a lunch at McDonald's. I think this was little Misters favorite part of the day as they had star wars toys. He asked if we could eat there all time so he could get all the different ones. He even called daddy at work to see if daddy would go to McDonald's for lunch to get another star wars toy. Happy Meal any one? I know this little guy would join you or at least take the toys off your hands :)
Enjoy your weekend!

Little miss picture edit

Sorry no new update but little mister is sick again with a double ear infection so not a lot has gone on. Here is one picture however I could not keep to myself. A very talented friend of mine played with this picture in Photo shop elements 6 and I thought I would share it with you.

here is what it used to look like

By the way daddy took this picture. Good job dad!
Hey mom does that face look familiar?

time with dad

Weekends mean much needed daddy time.For Little mister it means working and helping dad outside or on projects, Also taking breaks for lots of star wars adventures. This time Little miss even got to join in the fun.

For Little miss is means distracting daddy from any work he might want to do so he will play with her. I was able to catch this sweet moment after a not so sweet diaper change.

I am blessed to have a hubby who is wonderful and loves to be with his kids! He is an amazing father and wonderful friend. Thanks Brian for all you do!
