Sunny days

Whew! What a crazy life we've been leading. It's been quite a couple months and I've got way too many photos. I finally managed to pick a few from the vast sea (I could probably make at least three whole scrapbooks from the lot of them!) I hope it isn't too much in one go. You may want to get yourself a beverage and make yourself comfortable ;) Here we go!

SISTERS

At the end of June Logan had a few really busy days in a row so the kids and I (along with Aunty Coco) headed down for a little Goddy and Gremmy time in Sisters.

I think he won the race

Stopping over in Portland we took advantage of the great park by Grampa and Gramma's house and its fountains.

Back up north we checked out a park in Centralia. Logan and Rowan are being "maori" over there and Rowie is in "the jungle room" (from an Imagination Movers song)

4 months old! :D

We've been blessed with some good sunny days while being spared the incredible heat of last year. Logan made Rowan a "water slide" which got him going a little fast for his taste and he preferred to just jump in and out of the wading pool. I've got to add concerning the photo on the right, I just love my bare baby! Looking at this pic just makes me want to snuggle her!

OLYMPIC FLIGHT MUSEUM

On a recent search online for something to do in our area I found the Olympic Flight Museum. Just a little place down towards Tumwater with some vintage war airplanes and helicopters. The highlight of the visit was the old helicopter out back that you can climb in and "fly".

Rowan loved it!

They do have a posted rule against running. As I was lining this shot up he was walking and by the time the shutter clicked, well, you can see how fast a little boy goes from zero to sixty ;)

I love that pant leg is outside his boot
while the other is tucked up
on top :)

July 24th, a good day!

Happy birthday to Grammum!!

We got to visit Logan's Grammum for her birthday. It was a lot of fun. We hung out, played with the dogs, watched her new DVD of Celtic Thunder ;) went out for dinner and Rowan's first bowling game!

Before every shot he (or anyone else) took he'd say loudly, "One, two, three, go!"


























The cheering section was top notch!

Both the kids did really well!

Grammum's garden is so lovely!

Yes, it's been a busy couple months. And in just a few days we embark on an even busier time, our incredible journey. We're going to be on holiday for two weeks and decided that it would be a lot of fun to roadtrip across the west to visit some friends out that way. I'm not sure exactly how crazy we are but I'm pretty sure it's a lot, time will tell. We head down to Portland on Saturday then on to Sisters for a couple days. After that our route takes us along across OR and southern ID, after a dip into northern UT, we cut across WY, down into CO, back into WY, up to Boise in ID, finally we'll swing in to see my sister and her family in Walla Walla, WA before winding up to highway 90, onto I-5 and home.

I have a feeling a lot of the pictures in my
next post will look like this ;)
Until then!
