Oregon Coast/Sunshine's birthday...

I'm excited to finally be updating my blog, if only so I don't have to look at the picture of my sad, very used-looking belly staring back at me whenever I open my blog.

Anyhow, we have been so busy I haven't had time to blog. We took an aweosme vacation down to the Oregon Coast with my family.

My family did what we always do best- we sat around and ate lots of food.

We also flew some kites and built sand castles. 

My brother, his wife, and the cutest nephew ever.

Cameron, Apollo and Papa Ed went crabbing (but I don't have those picture. It made for delicious crab bisque though!).

And we threw Sunshine a little birthday party.


And there was plenty of singing and dancing


I love the Oregon Coast. It is so beautiful. I love my family. Although, next time I think we may opt for our own place of dwelling, since I'm pretty sure the kids were driving them crazy :)

We also recently threw Sunshine a birthday party... at Jump Planet. But I also have no pictures because I lost the charger for my camera. On the day of her birthday, we took her to Red Robin and had fun watching them freak her out with their singing and flair:


We also went to fondue for our 6th anniversary at the Melting Pot with some of our favorite friends, Tom and Michele.

We felt so spoiled.

Clearly, I have been neglecting my poor blog since I am trying to fit a vacation, a birthday and an anniversary all into one post. Life is full. I am glad I can at least attempt to record some parts of it on here. Having three kids four and under is very... consuming, leaving little time to reflect on things. At least I try!
