First day of school!!

The first day of school is here!! Both girls were uber excited for the first day. They couldn't wait to meet their teachers and see all their friends. We are looking forward to a wonderful fun filled year!

Natalie off to 4th grade.
Angela off to 1st grade.

Anglea in her 1st grade classroom. The little girl next to her is her very best friend Arleigh.




New girls room

Well we finally did it! The girls have been asking to redo their room for awhile now and it has finally happened. What a terrific job they did. They picked everything out. The colors, the new bookcases and bedding. It turned out so pretty, just like the two girls who live in it!

Great job girls!



Vacation Pics

Every year since the girls were 3 and 8 months (they are now 9 and almost 7) my husband and I have taken the girls to Cannon Beach for vacation. Again this year we had a fabulous time! Both the girls LOVE the beach. We all had a fantastic week enjoying the sand, surf and some much needed relaxation!





The girls were packing into the new Subaru ready for the ride to the beach.

After a long car ride and a quick walk on the beach the girls were ready to take a dip in the pool.


What do you think? Do they like the pool?



After the pool we went down to the beach and had hot dogs for dinner.





The next morning we found our favorite volunteer Lisa whom we have seen the last few summers. She is so wonderful! We are so lucky to have her show us around the tide pools. We get the chance to see things we would never see without her.

Just having fun jumping waves.




Our favorite candy store!



A couple of pretty cute kids!


The girls had tons of fun making sand sculptures.


I could look at this rock everyday and never get tired of it. It is so beautiful! More hot dogs!



The girls got new kites this year.


I love my family!


Every year we stay in the same room 223! It's our favorite.



We are on our way home. See you next year Cannon Beach!

I hope you enjoyed seeing our vacation.
