Sunny Fun in September at the Beach??

Yes I tell you it is possible! While Darrin and Nate headed off to a rainy Duck game we headed down to the beach. It was sunny, warm, light breeze, one of those rare Oregon Coast beach days where a long sleeve shirt is to heavy. We had a blast letting the kids run around, dig in the sand,

get their feet wet,

and even attempt to fly a kite. Poppa, Grandma, Uncle Eric and Aunt Cagney came along and it was fabulous to have 4 other people willing to run, play, and get their feet wet! Here are some pictures from the fun we had!

First Day of School!

Today starts a new chapter in my life as a Mommy. Both of my kids started school today! Dylan is now a BIG Kindergartner and Ally is is pre-school 2 days a week! Here are a few pictures of the first day of school!

Happy Birthday Darrin!

We celebrated my wonderful husbands birthday tonight. I am so thankful to have such an amazing man as my husband and the father of my children, we are all so blessed! Happy Birthday Darrin!

Power Tools Performance!

Power Tools is the kids choir at church that Dylan has been involved in. They have already had one performance this summer when we had Church in the Park. Today they had a "traveling" engagement! Our church has 3 services and the choir got to perform for all 3 today! The kids did a great job!!! Here is a video from one of the services, enjoy!

Happy Birthday Poppa!

Tonight we went out and celebrated Poppa's Birthday! We had a yummy dinner at McGraths which was followed up with the waitresses singing Happy Birthday and a fish had adorning my father's head!

After that we headed back to our house where I had made a YUMMY homemade Carrot Cake with homemade cream cheese frosting (go me!)

After stuffing ourselves we finished up celebrating with Wi.i Bowling! Fun.Family.Birthday.
