A Camping Trip To The Coast!

We went to Cannon Beach and Manzanita last weekend. This is some of the most beautiful country I've ever seen!

Amya loved the tidal pools and playing on the beach

(Dan enjoyed dessert that day!)

Check out the cool purple starfish at the tidal pools

Amya adopted Nelson's "Grow Bag"...those things are great for camping, or cold weather in general!

Hanging around the campsite

Bringing the pack-n-play is the single best decision we've made about camping!!

A little reference...

...oh, how we've changed and grown over the past couple years!

Oh No She Didn't!

So, we hardly ever listen to music in the car. The radio is usually tuned into NPR. Ok, we are NPR nerds!
Well, this morning NPR was fuzz...lost their signal or something. I pushed another of the buttons for pre-set stations and music came on. I looked at Amya in the rear view mirror and she was transfixed. I felt a little guilty for not exposing her to more music.
I decided to see what kind of music she likes. I pushed all four of the pre-set buttons, one at a time, and asked which one was her favorite. In general there was a rock song, a pop song, a country song and a mellow 70's song.
For anybody who knows me......re-read the title of this post and take three guess which one she insisted on listening to!

Big Love

Goodbye Grandma And Grandpa!

We had fun!

I've Been Waiting...

...for my kids to be able to take baths together! It is so much fun for both of them!

(and me)

Labor Day Weekend

Babies wearing big sunglasses is just funny.

Grandpa Rusty and Grandma Joyce Are Here!
