Blueberry Picking

Posted on October 16, 2014 by Lindsey

Grammy and Papa came to visit at the end of July. Here are some pics from our afternoon picking blueberries.  We picked a great day to go. The weather was perfect, and we ended up with a ton of berries!

July

Posted on October 7, 2014 by Lindsey

Here’s what else we were up to during the month of July:

Jonathan hiked Mt. Si and watched the sunrise.

We pet sat our neighbor’s guinea pigs, Salt and Pepper. They were cute, but messy.

There was back yard sprinkler funIMG_3431 IMG_3437

And swimming lessonsIMG_3440

ReadingIMG_3445

And lots of park-hoppingIMG_3529 IMG_3530

Also lots of bike ridesIMG_3547

More readingIMG_3568

Know how everyone hates going to the DOL? Next time you’re there, just be glad you’re not there with three young children in tow. I will admit, they were very well behaved (until the last minute or two), and I was fortunate to arrive when I did. Shortly after we got there, at least a dozen more people showed up. Whew! IMG_3570

We had lots of cute bird visitors this summerIMG_3576

There were playdates and water balloon fights IMG_3599 IMG_3600  IMG_3606 IMG_3610 IMG_3611 IMG_3612 IMG_3616 IMG_3622 IMG_3631

Some monkey business in the tree houseIMG_3633

Makes for tired boysIMG_3632

You can barely see him, but right in the middle is our baby bunny who was born this summer. We saw him almost every day, and enjoyed watching him grow. IMG_3661

Our good friends, Jen, Oliver, Bjorn & Elina visited us one more time before they left for two years in Singapore. Sniff.IMG_3667 IMG_3669

This is a science project the boys did with M&M’s. When placed in water, the “M” floats off the candy.IMG_3673

TypicalIMG_3686

Visit with Auntie Ashleigh =  good excuse to go to Red Mill for burgersIMG_4836

And also to the Pacific Science Center. Our boys are scared of the butterflies!OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Neskowin 2014

Posted on October 6, 2014 by Lindsey

Here are some pictures from our summer trip to Neskowin, Oregon. The past couple of years Avery and Kieron have spent a week there with Nana and Grandpa. This year we all went down for a long weekend with Nana. It was Silas’ first time in the ocean, and he loved it! We lucked out and got beautiful sunny weather. As you’ll see, we spent a lot of time digging in the sand and playing in the creek that leads out to the ocean.

Shortly after arriving, we walked out from the condo to the beach. No suits necessary. The boys peeled their clothes off and got messy in the sand and water!

Kieron Rides a Two-Wheeler!

Posted on September 5, 2014 by Lindsey

In Early July, Kieron learned to ride a two-wheeler! I really think he’d been ready for the past few months, but he wasn’t too enthusiastic, and we didn’t want to push him. He told us this spring that he would do it when he turned four. So one day in July I mentioned to Jonathan that we should give it a shot. Jonathan took Kieron out front, and not five minutes later I got a text to come outside. And there was Kieron, riding along like it was no big deal! Bravo, Kieron! We are so proud of you!

We also had a bear visitor. Apparently he likes our coffee grounds… nothing like a caffeinated bear running around town!IMG_3062

Baking with Mommy

Play date with LilyIMG_3182   IMG_3233

Silas loves his marbles (or maudles, as he calls them). This marble maze is his favorite toy right now. He’s always asking us to set it up.

Playing trains.

My little Romeo. Every time we go out, this sweet boy picks me a flower (or ten). Love him!

My BFF, Jennifer, and her kids, Bjorn and Elina came and spent a few days with us before moving to Singapore for two years. (Tear).

It’s so fun to see these two growing up together
