Rest of Oregon Vacay

We had such a great summer in Oregon! We were there about a month and we stayed surprisingly busy. It was so great to hang out with all of our friends and of course our families. 

Claire had a great time learning how to sew with her aunt Katie and Grandma. Her and Grace made throw pillows for their beds.

The kids also spent a good chunk of time drawing with chalk. Claire's Dusty Crop Hopper pic.

Tons of swimming time in the backyard. We filled that pool so many times.

Grandma bought this fun Angry Birds pinata. It was a hit.

Took the kids to Pump it Up Jr. one day. It was great because the place was pretty empty. We were there for hours.

Making donuts with Grandpa. So easy, and so delicious!

All matchy matchy with Grandma.

Most of our time was spent chillin. It was nice to spend time together.

Our last day was spent bowling followed by a fun BBQ in the yard with a sweet dance party.

It was great to see everyone! I really loved having game nights and being able to catch up with so many people. Oregon is the best. It will always be home to me. See you all at Christmas!

4th of July and Party!

The fourth of July was a fun day again. Chris had gone back to California for work but he drove back for the weekend and surprised us. It was so great to see him! We spent the day outside playing games and relaxing with the family. In the evening we did the usual fireworks in the street. The kids had a great time!

Since so many people have birthdays in July, we did one big party for everyone. It actually worked out really well. Neil got his green cupcakes and plenty of new toys. He was a happy camper.

For Father's day I got my dad tickets to go see a Hillsboro Hops game. Since the game was on Claire's birthday I got her a ticket too. So the three of us went. It was over 100 degrees that day. Thankfully our seats were shaded. It was a pretty nice park, and we had fun even though the Hops lost.

On Neil's birthday we picked up his new glasses. Then we went out for an ice cream. He looks so grown up with them. How is it possible for my baby to be 5? Where did all the time go?
