Vacation Week!

This past week was a BUSY one! Ryan and I celebrated our 7th Anniversary at Bonneville Hot Springs Spa & Resort. This overnight trip was A-MAY-ZING! We got a mineral bath, mineral wrap and 80-minute massages, all in the same couples' room. Then, dinner. Oh. My. Gosh. 1st Class, people. The food was to die for!! The next morning, room service for breakfast. Delicious!!! What a wonderful treat.

Wednesday, we left for Rockaway Beach for 2 nights. Our first stop was of course the Tillamook Cheese Factory. How can you NOT stop there for ice cream and a tour? Then on to Rockaway. The house we stayed in was brand new, but away from the beach. There was a forested area backing up the house, so it was nice and quiet. We spent Thursday in Seaside - a very FULL day - and crashed early that night. Friday, we packed up and headed home!

Now..... we're exhausted. Figures, huh? They say you need a vacation FROM your vacation - and I fully agree. Now back to a new reality: KINDERGARTEN

Checkin' out the rental house and it's "amenities"


I love this shot of Jay. This was his first time being up-close-and-personal with the sand!

Oops! He fell backwards while sitting. Look at that tear! :(

Ryan has been bugging me to update this thing. I can't believe it's been almost 2 months?! Have we been busy, or what??

One day I came downstairs to find that my industrious #1 decided he wasn't going to wait for me to prepare his lunch. He found a hamburger bun, some lunchmeat, sliced cheese and a cheese stick. He prepared it all on an "adult" plate and sat down to eat. I couldn't believe it! :)

Here's Mr. 5-year old at his birthday dinner at Red Robin. The waiters placed the "hat" on his head and sang to him. I particularly love this picture because his face is so GENUINELY happy. It was an awesome day!

One of his creations - a robot. This child has been creating things and lining them up since before he was two. I love him!

Little Hubba Bubba - 8 months old. (yes, he is already 9 months old NOW, but I'm a little behind on updating the blog, ok??)
