Harvest!

Last Sunday was such a beautiful day! Some friends of mine thought it would be a great day to drive some back roads and take some snaps! I jumped at the chance since school started Monday and my camera won't be seeing much action ;) It was a day full of laughs and even a little water adventure...

Portland ~ Part III

We hit a lot of parks this summer but the spray pad was THE favorite!!! Anesa and Rowyn loved seeing their relatives in Portland! We can't wait to go back!


Anesa was fasinated with her Auntie's walking stick that she purchased in China...she threw on her Auntie's hat and she was ready to go climb some mountains!


Rowyn getting tickled!


Anesa hangin on the monkey bars...


Hey mom...do I look like dad?





Anesa...always a little bit hesitant..if that is even a word?!?!








Rowyn spent quite a bit of time stamping on the water...


She did pretty good but more than a couple times...


this happened...people were watching her and laughing because they couldn't believe that she would hold her head there for 10 seconds or so...what a kid!

What a FEELING!

Anesa's is pumped to started dance again this fall! She even had Ro in the spirit!



I think that Anesa would have LOVED the 80's!


Ro all ready to dance!


Anesa trying to get Ro to dance...notice the choke hold...


Ro not sure if she wants to dance or play with the water pistol ;)

Diggin' for Gold

Or chocolate chips in Rowyn's case. This is how Ro has been eating her chocolate chip/M & M cookies...no messing around...but really does that surprise you?!?!

Chop - Chop - TIMBER!

Anesa started her first set of swimming lessons this week! She was a bit hesitate at first but is loving it! We are so lucky to have a fantastic pool in town...
Here are a few snaps from Anesa's first day!




Notice Anesa still has her necklace on that she made at the Day Care in June(on backwards so it won't interfere with her swimming)...she hasn't taken it off! I hope it rots off soon ;)

I am SO lucky!

Enough said!

SNAPS

I have been trying to take pictures of anything and everything this summer as I am still learning how to use my camera! Here are a few snaps that I took up north and out west.

Portland ~ Part II

Our next trip was to the Portland Children's Museum. The girls just loved this place...it had a grocery store, cafe, vet clinic, story time and water games! Anesa's favorite place was the vet clinic and of course Ro loved the water!


Anesa giving her puppy medicine!

Let's have a listen to that puppies heart.


Gettin' stocked up on groceries!

That is one big mouth!
