Tillamook Cheese Factory and Cape Lookout State Park

So on Sunday we took a spontaneous trip to the coast. We had been wanting to go, we just didn't have much time, so when church was over we decided to just go for the day. We had so much fun, and the kids really enjoyed it. (Chloe cried when we said we were leaving the beach)

These two are such goof balls, and hams when I tell them to pose for a picture!

They had sand on their hands and didn't want to touch each other!

Evan was telling me how the ocean worked. It was very interesting.

Chloe and her Daddy....

Can't you tell Chloe's having fun!

The Farmer and her Cow, and the Tillamook Cheese Factory!

New Cousin, Camping and Boating!

So since its been a while since I've last blogged, I figured I have to cram it all into one.

My brother and sister in law just recently had a baby and she's the cutest thing ever!!

Presenting Payton Augustina Leverich!I'm pretty sure the kids like their new little cousin!

Mom, Coco and I took the kids with us on the Western Washington Shop Hop , and to our amazement we actually finished the shop hop and visited 16 shops along I-5. The kids had fun collecting their own fabric and getting a stamp in their passport.

Taking a break. Payton's already gotten the goofy face down.

Over Father's Day weekend we went camping with Damon's family to Foster Lake. We had lots of fun just hanging out, riding bikes, throwing rocks in the river, and roasting gigantic marshmallow's. (minus my allergy's/asthma acting up) So it rained a little...whats new its the Northwest.

Devon and I had a bike race....although the bikes were a little small. :)

Shealyn likes to hang out with her MiMi. Its too cute! Love the smile Chloe'!

Chloe's gigantic smore!

Cousins!

Shealyn with Evan's goofy glasses. What a goof!

Then, this last week has been a whirl wind, and we got to end it with some fun! Some friends of ours invited us out on there boat, and we were all excited to go! The kids had never been on a boat before and had a total blast being pulled in an inner tube. The kids with there friends....Ready to go! They want to go faster!

They talked me into going with.

P.S. Evan also learned how to ride his bike with no training wheels. Although he hasn't mastered how to stop or start yet. But....he learned in a day!

Just an update. :)

This year we went down to the Woodburn Tulip fields. Its always so beautiful, and the kids have loads of fun!Evan......just being Evan.I'm not sure this is a style Damon and I should go with. :)I took the week of Chloe's spring break off, and Mom and I took the kids to the zoo. The Oregon Zoo is getting better and better every time we go. This time they have lions and the day we went was the first day of sun all week, and so ALL the animals were out sunbathing.The Lions looked just like the Lion King up on pride rock. Evan thought the lion statue needed its nose cleaned.
Chloe liked the little lion cub. Why do kids CLIMB on everything! Hope everyone is doing well.

Bowling with the kids

So last Sunday a boy from Chloes class had a birthday party at Big Al's bowling alley. That place is ridiculous! I could believe how huge it was. We have never taken the kids bowling, so this was a first for them. They loved it!

These two just get me everytime. They love hanging out, and doing things together. Too cute!Chloe tried her hardest to make sure that her fingers were at least in the finger holes before she tried to throw it down the alley.Evan could barely hold the ball up, but he insisted on doing it himself.We went bowling for a party for a classmate of Chloe's, here she is with the birthday boy.

The toothless wonder

The little girl has finally lost her front tooth! She doesn't like to wiggle them, so the only time anything happens to them is when I brush her teeth. So needless to say, I BRUSH THEM! Then this morning while brushing them, she could tell something weird happened with her tooth, and then all of sudden she spit it out. Now she has a hole, and guess what, her other front tooth is loose, so know we start this all over again!
