Young at Art

Crystal and Eames joined the three of us at a place in Keizer called Young at Art.  For a flat fee, you get to do whatever art project your little heart can think of.  You and I made a bracelet with pipe cleaner and beads, you painted, you played with playdough and we made a rattle drum together.  All in all, I think it was a hit!

Hawaiian Festival

We all went to Vancouver, WA for the Hawaiian Festival today with Jawea.  It was fun and we had a wonderful picnic lunch in the park where it was held.  But boy howdy was I glad Jawea drove.  It was so darn hot.  We would have all melted in our car without AC!!!!

Mommy and Riley Time

After campout, Dylan stayed at Grandma Colleen's and Papa Bud's.  So, you and I got some one on one time together!

Last night, I picked you up from daycare and we had dinner at the tacqueria.  After that, we went to a concert at Riverfront Park. Tonight, you and I cooked dinner together and hung out!  I so appreciate getting to spend time with you.

I worry sometimes that you might feel short-changed so I like being able to make you feel special.

Virtue Rendezvous 2014

Since I was about 8 or 9 I have gone almost every year to camp up Fairview.  Until I was 18, it was owned by Fred and Vera Virtue and they had at least one music campout a year.  After Fred and Vera passed away, they left the property to your great-grandparents and our family.

This year, we drove down with Ethan and Uncle Matt.  Laura was here visiting again from WY so she came with us too.  We got a late start but you, Dylan and Ethan did great in the truck.  Its good to see you all together.

Lazy Saturday

The three of us were lazy today.  We did end up making it to the library to hang out for a bit.  And, we got a short walk in after your baths...in your pjs.  You and Dylan didn't seem to mind!

At Riverfront Park with Laura

You and Dylan "decided"...I know it was really me but anyway...you two decided to show Laura the playground and carousel at Riverfront Park.  You were adorable today!

Laura's First Visit

Laura came to visit this week from Wyoming.  So, we took her to the beach in Bandon and camping at Grandma and Grandpa Shaffar's up Fairview.  She loved it and was thrilled to hang out with you and your brother.
