First Day of School

NB ready for her first day of first grade. She was very excited and has been counting the days until school starts.



NB with her friend Alex at school. And yes that is a tattoo on her arm! My Mom would HATE that.



We walked to school with our two neighbors and their kids Parker and Erin.

Beach Holiday!

We had our holiday to the Oregon Coast and rented a beach house in Waldport, Oregon! The house is great and right on the beach. You open the door and off the kids go. What was even better is the neighbors had kids the same age, so it was like one big party for them.



Here are the girls playing in the surf and contemplating what they are going to build in the sand!



We mistakenly called it a sand castle when actually it was a magical shell tree! We should have known.



NB and Colin playing in the sun. Just a note it LOOKS really warm but it wasn't. The kids just notice it less than me who is a big chicken if it is a tiny bit cold.



A funny piece of kelp that looks like a palm tree!



Colin loving his sisters hat I knit for her.

Birthday Boy

Happy 4th birthday to Colin! Well it was last month, but better late than never on my blog post! He had a Thomas the Train birthday party at home with friends and family. It was a very fun day and Colin was super excited. He really enjoyed playing with all of his friends. Everyone made it a very special day for him.



Cute Thomas cake and about to sing Happy Birthday.



Colin eating cake very neatly! Grandpa Ed will enjoy these pictures. Not feeling quesy are you?







Pinata time and I have to say all kids were very well behaved unlike myself as a kid when it came to the Pinata.
