A day at the Beach

 Last year we did a day at the beach with my family and it was so much fun we had to do it again! This Summer has been going by so fast... we realized time was limited. (Since I only have 2 more weeks til I have my baby!) So we went this Saturday. It was seriously SO MUCH FUN! I love the beach so much... especially when it's nice enough to wear swim suits and get in the water a little!

Before hitting the sand we spent sometime in Seaside. Of course we had to hit up the Merry-Go-Round... although Baylor was the only kid willing to go on! I asked Wes if he wanted to go on and he just said 'No, no' and shook his head. 

Logan, Baylor, Kyle and Mackenzie went on the Tilt-A-Whirl... can you tell Baylor was excited to go on? He said that was his favorite part of the day.

As much as I love all the fun stuff at downtown Seaside, nothing beats hanging out in the sand on a sunny day! We went to Cannon Beach to hang out. The boys were in HEAVEN!

37 Weeks Pregnant!



Wesley LOVES the ocean. He kept going in deeper and deeper. He didn't mind getting splashed and he wasn't afraid. He would say, 'Uh oh' as the waves were coming... and then he would squeal as the waves splashed him! At one point he was neck deep in water! Mackenzie was nice to keep playing with him the water since that's all he wanted to do!

Baylor loved getting burried... this picture cracks me up, he looks so content just hanging out under the sand!

 But this is my favorite... the double bury. Oliver and Baylor's heads look so cute poking out from the sand!

 Wesley looked cold in his wet swimsuit so I put clothes back on him... but then he got all the way back into the ocean in his clothes! Next time- swimsuits until it's time to go home!

 My Dad brought a kite so him and Logan spent FOREVER trying to get it up. At least a half an hour if not more. I knew Logan wouldn't want to leave without getting it up... and they finally did. (There were a few kite issues.) They both looked so happy once the kite was flying high!

It was such a fun day at the beach I wish we would have gone more then once this Summer. We are so lucky to live so close we need to do this more often. Can't wait to go again next year!

Baby Shower

My friend Kendall threw me a baby shower.  As you can see, the theme was '3rd Times a Charm' since it was my 3rd baby. So creative! I loved that she stuck to her theme and colors so well. Kendall always does an amazing job!

That is one BIG BELLY!

Lindsi and Rebecca

One of the gifts I received was this CHARM bracelet. (Because the theme was 3rd times a charm!) It was a group gift, from several people. I love it! I always love anything that comes in a bright pink box!!! It has the initials of my three babies.

This was such a fun, cute shower. So thankful for Kendall and all my good friends and family who came!!!

Majestic Farms

 A couple years ago my friend Kendall introduced me to Majestic Farms- a blueberry farm in Hockinson. I went for fun even though I didn't like blueberries.... but since then I love them. Every Summer I crave fresh blueberries. Me and Kendall went back this year. The kids may look like they are helping me pick... but really all they are doing is snacking. They were in blueberry heaven. I always try to pay a few extra bucks for the ones they've eaten but the workers say 'that's all part of the fun'... so true!

I filled my bucket to the top... yum!

My Birthday

I turned 27 on July 13th! Me and the boys went to the park and got frozen yogurt in the morning... then my Mom took them for the rest of the day. Me and Logan went shopping at Lloyd Center and then to dinner at Momma Mia. After that we went to 23rd Street in Portland to walk around and window shop. When we picked up the boys from my parents my Mom had a cake and gifts for me.

It was a great birthday!!! 

Hangin' with Baylor

Wesley takes LONG naps so me and Baylor have lots of time to spend together. Lately I've been spending that time napping... but a lot of days we will go outside and eat Popsicles on the porch together.
He is so much fun to hang out with I just LOVE HIM!!

 Baylor loves our garden. Even though it's just little he talks about it all the time and he likes to help me water it. He always says 'Thank you to our garden' in his prayers and asks that the strawberries will grow. It is so sweet.

Gotta love those blue Popsicle teeth!!

He was proud of our zucchini, ready to eat!

4th of July

We had another awesome 4th of July. It was perfect!!! The weather was so warm and nice. We had the best time playing all day, swimming, eating and of course watching a spectacular firework show! 

Wesley is OBSESSED with sunglasses... sometimes he gets them on right and sometimes he doesn't. Either way I think he feels pretty cool!

Happy 4th of July!!!!!!!

Red, White & Blue BBQ

I thought it would be fun to do a little something with my family in celebration of the 4th so we had them over for a BBQ on the 2nd. It was fun to buy all the fun 4th of July paper products and try a couple of the recipes I found on pinterest! We did a few kiddie fireworks in the front after we ate. It was fun to have that little extra celebration. I think we'll have to do it again next year!

33 Weeks Pregnant!

We bought a trampoline in June... best purchase ever we love it! Since we have the netting up the balloons on the tramp was really fun!

Wesley was afraid of the fireworks

But not Baylor of course!
