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!


Ro working on her puppy!


"A small fracture in the femur." (if dogs even have femurs)


Let's have a listen to that puppies heart.


Gettin' stocked up on groceries!


Working the cashier!


Notice Rowyn is manning 2 carts...not kidding (anyone who knows her knows I am not...lol)...she needed a lot of groceries!


That is one big mouth!


Papa and Ro waiting patiently while Anesa plays her solo that last 15 minute! Not kidding on this one either ;)


Anesa playing her solo on stage!


Rowyn working the lights! What a show!


Pottery with the whole fam!


Story time...notice Rowyn is not sitting for the story!


Water World!


This was Rowyn's favorite!

HMMMM...where is Anesa?

She is back for more!


Checking charts!


Getting a closer look at the wound.

WE HAD A GREAT TIME AT THE PORTLAND CHILDREN'S MUSEUM :)

Portland ~ Part I

Since I always seem to have my camera shoved in everyone's face all the time I am going to have to break our trips up into sections so I don't have to pull an all nighter loading pics! I am just not that dedicated...
These pictures are from our first day in Portland. We took the girls to an amusement park and they had a blast. It worked out great because the park was open in the morning for 6 and under only! This was sweet and to top it off the morning ended with story time and cookies and milk. Needless to say we didn't stick around for the cookies and milk as it was CRAZY...those kids really wanted their cookies! I am not going to comment under every post as the pics are pretty self explanatory ;)























Gotta love that my head it completely out of this pic...but I love Anesa's expression...this was one of her favorite rides!


Anesa shaking her tail feather on stage before the story!


Listening to the story...Ro sat for about 0.3 seconds ;)

LOVE....

MY NEW WATCH!






I just put together one of the watch bands that my friend Jana is selling and I just love it! I have to say that I am pretty proud of myself...only took me 3 times to string it!!! Thought I would hit the double digits actually ;)
This one is Lime Rickey and I am diggin' it! Best thing about these is that the watch bands are exchangable so you could potentially have one to match every outfit (I am sure this will be a goal of mine!)
Please feel free to check out her website!

Great Reads!

If you are looking for some great page turners to fill up the last of your summer evenings or in my case wee hours of the morn, then you HAVE to read this trilogy! Funny story about the word trilogy...when I was young, young like in my 20's I was so stunned I didn't know how many books were in a trilogy and happened to ask my brother and he has never let me forget that I was silly enough to ask him!!! Anyway, back to the series...highly recommend it! More than welcome to borrow mine if you would like!


The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl who Played with Fire and The Girl who Kicked the Hornets Nest by Stieg Larsson


My Coach bag that I got in Portland...has nothing to do with reading but I think it is great!

Unplugged!!

I had such a good time up north this year! The best I have had in a while. The weather was fantastic, the water was cold (which is a step up from freezing, and the girls were so good. Honestly the best part was being unplugged...NO TV (only old movies on the VCR), NO internet and NO cell service! It was great! I think that it is something I should/could get used to. I spend way too much time surfing the net and texting! Going to try to "unplug" more often ;)

I have so many pictures that I want to post from our travels this summer but have to sort through them. Here is my little "tree hugger" on a point near the campground up north! Thought she looked so cute in this pic! Stay tuned for more pics from out West and up North!



Rowyn ~ My little tree hugger :)


Couldn't help but post a few more pics...
