Oregon Coast

Getting buried

Kyle and his sand crab

Boys and their sticks:)

Spencer just hangin' out on the beach

We took a day trip to the Oregon Coast with Holly and Chuck and their family. The boys had so much fun together playing in the water and building in the sand. Spencer even got buried all the way up to his neck! They all built sandcastles and ran from the waves. Owen was so tiny I wasn't able to put sunblock on him yet, so I made some shade for him with a chair, and some towels and blankets. He pretty much slept most of the time. The weather was great that day and I'm glad we were able to do this as a family.

Baseball

Nice Hit!!! Excited he made it to first base!
Getting ready to catch

This year was Spencer's first year playing baseball on a coach pitch team. He played T-ball the last 2 seasons and was ready to move on. He's come so far since last spring and really enjoyed it again this year. He had 2 great coaches and his cousin Jeremy was on his team again too. We're looking forward to next year.

End of School Days

These were Spencer's last 2 days of school. This is Spence with some of his friends at lunch during "play day"

Blade, Spencer and Lily...these 3 are very good buddies and hoping to be in the same class for 2nd grade.

Spencer and Mrs. Crowson...we'll miss her. She's a wonderful teacher!!

Spencer and Owen...Kyle is to the left somewhere, not wanting to be a part of the picture...go figure:)


I know this was back in June, but still I wanted to share them with everyone. Spencer starts school in September and he's a little nervous...not quite ready to go back yet. He is however excited to be a second grader, and see all his friends. As for me...I'm trying to cope with the fact that he's growing so fast and enjoying him while he's home these next few weeks. Kyle is also starting preschool in September and is very excited!! I was a little hesitant on doing 2 years of preschool, but I think it will be good for him.
Second Grade and Preschool...here we come!!!

Owen's First Photo Shoot

My cousin Stephanie came over and took Owen's pictures when he was 4 days old. He was so good and she got a lot of good ones. These are some of my favorites.

Kyle wanted in on the action which is surprising because I practically have to bribe him not to look away from the camera. For some reason Steph can always get him to cooperate:)


Isn't this one sweet!!!!!!



His tiny feet with Tyler's ring

It's about the creases!!

Look at those rolls!!




Hello!! Who wouldn't love this? Look at all the dimples!!!

These were both Spencer's hats

This hat was the first thing I got when I found out I was having Spencer. All 3 of the boys have worn it now...so cute!

Thanks Steph! This was fun!!!

Before Baby...

So much happened before Owen's arrival and I never quite had a chance to do a lot of posts so...here's a quick recap... Elephant ride at the Circus Science Works Museum

Lincoln Jog-a-thon

Kyle ran 8 laps with Spencer

When Spencer was done, a little part of him wished he would have ditched Kyle and ran a few more laps;) He still had fun and they both did a great job!!
