stormy at sea!

So we were having record heat here in Seattle before we left for our little Oregon coast getaway. And it was sunny the entire way there, we were very excited. When we drove into seaside there was a smoky haze creeping over the mountains so when we checked in I asked if there were Forrest fires. . . no that is just the marine fog that is always here. A short while later were were in a dense fog, it was crazy, we were standing on the beach and couldn't even see the ocean.

So the first few days I was a little disappointed, But we bundled the kids up and out we went. We played in the rain on the beach. Not exactly as I had pictured . . . but hey nothing ever turns out the way you expect it.

Squid did have a nice fall on the tile floor of the condo, and she split open her chin really deep. There isn't a hospital there, so we butterflied it and then when it healed a bit we super glued it closed. Fortunately it healed up nicely, and is at the bottom of her chin, almost underneath, so it is not visible.

Apparently we are accident prone lately.. . hmmmm.

It was awesome to go to the tide pools at low tide, especially cannon beach. unfortunately whenever we went to look at all the fun sea critters I always managed to forget my camera.

I did get one at the homespun aquarium. . . it was very interesting. . . the aquarium that is, not the picture, ha ha.

Oregon Coast here we come!!!

So we have been home for a few weeks now, and . . . its time for a vacation. The weather has been HOT! here this week and it has been awesome! So awesome we are leaving and heading to seaside for about five days. You can be jealous because the ocean and sand is what I love. Oh and Sun, don't forget the Sun!

Congrats to Kassie and Shad!!

Kassie, my baby sister had their first baby boy this week!! They named him Caden I believe, not sure on the spelling????
I am so not jealous of your sleepless nights, but am very jealous of holding a newborn. I have decided once your kids are older then holding a brand new baby is very therapeutic. YOu can hold them and rock them and you forget all the bad stuff. . . although I am currently content to hold someone else's and give it back when I am done. . . hehehe!

I LOVE SUMMER!!

This week has been gorgeous, and I am soooo Happy! The week after we got home was typical washington 65 degree weather, and I was trying to come to grips that this was the rest of our summer. . . and then mother nature came through and brought us 90's this week. This is the way August should be!!!!
Way to Go Sunshine!

catching up on vacation. . .

So tommy and sid at murray park on pioneer day, cranking icecream at the wilson's, grandma pulling the kids in a floaty at starvation, and all the kids climbing in the apple tree after pictures for more pictures.

These are a few from our summer adventures with the wilson's

Just in case you were wondering. . .

Just in case you might be wondering what happens when a child runs into the path of another child swinging a real golf club. . . It lands you in the emergency room getting two layers of stitches in the kids head on a Sunday afternoon. Two underneath and six on top. And I don't know who cried louder H (the victim) or E (the attacker). H was crying in pain, E crying because his little bro was bleeding from the head and it was his fault. Hey at least he cares. . .???

Recovering?

So I have been avoiding the computer since I have been home, mostly because I have been really motivated to get my house in order. Thus I haven't blogged for ever. I will eventually get to it, but today will be spent preparing my RS lesson.
I have found if I avoid the computer then more around the house gets done. Go figure!
