One Fish, Two Fish.....

Yesterday we took a day trip to the Oregon Coast Aquarium. It was sooo much fun! We had the best time and the weather was beautiful. The girls loved all the different exibits espically the otters, sea lions, and puffins. Macey even touched a star fish! I love those kind of days where everything goes perfect and everyone is happy. We are having a wonderful spring break.... and we love having Rex home!

Rex is the BEST!!

Ok, I have the best husband in the world!! Really, I do! I believe that we were destined to be together :) He is my perfect match and my best friend. He makes me laugh so much, loves and plays with our kids, cheers me up when I am feeling down, supports me in all my ideas and dreams, works hard .... and best of all when I see him walking toward the door at the end of the day, I still get butterflies in my stomach! I love this man! The other night Rex went to our 24 hour walmart for a baby Tylenol run at 12:15 a.m. He came home with baby medicine and NEW MOON!! Yes, he got in line with teenage girls to bring me home the next chapter of TWILIGHT!! He is so amazing! Just wanted you all to know ....:)


I am one happy girl...

Sidewalk stories.....

We haven't really been doing anything around here that has been blog worthy but it bothers me when I go to long in between posts.....so here are our sidewalk stories. Here are a few pictures of what we do when the weather is nice....


We needed to take the car seats out for a little bit and the girls thought that is was so much fun to sit in them. Apparently car seats are so much better on the sidewalk than when they are in the car :)


Macey and Annie love to "paint" with water :) It is so wonderful because it dries in no time and they think they are really painting. Yesterday we had to stop Macey from drinking the dirty paint water, lovely.


We LOVE chalk! Whoever invented sidewalk chalk is a genius and I love them. We do hopscotch, trace shadows, and practice writing our names. Sometimes it gets a little carried away and find drawings on the door, bench, car tires, clothes, and Annie sometimes colors Macey :)


I have been loving the sunny weather aside that it has been a little windy. Oh well. I am very excited for spring break and spending some time as a family! I have projects to work on, crafts, job hunting, cooking, and family to all look forward too!! And hopefully more exciting pictures too :)

Watching the stars come out

The other night Rex was working late so I decided to take the girls outside to watch the stars come out. Well, we bundled up and went outside to see that it was a cloudy night. So we deiced to look for random cats instead which was a huge hit! We also listened for frogs and the girls walked around outside until Rex came home. It was lovey to get some clean fresh air :)

Sitting on the bench looking at the clouds...


On a quest to find cats.... there are a million cats around here so we did find a few!


We have a couple of tutus that we have been given so the girls were dancing around last night, it was too cute!

sunny weather.....happy kids :)

The past couple of weekends we have had great weather and that means get outside all day and wear those kids out! They love being outside and so do we, so we are all happy. A couple weekends ago we met my brother-in-law and his family at an animal reservation to do some hiking. It was more like kid friendly hiking because it was all pretty much flat. We happened to get a few cute shots..... but just a few because those kids are fast! And then Rex met his brother again this weekend at the Logging show. He took Annie while Macey stayed home with me and she napped :) and I actually got some house work done! We are glad we have cousins so close!


Taking a break after all that running....


Rex loves taking Annie with him... she also loves riding in the beat up old pick up with him :)


All the kids getting scooped up


What a pretty smile. She told me she had a great time at the "tractor store" or what we like to call the logging show
