I am so far behind on blog posts! Time to play major catch up and try to do a quick recap of all of our various vacation trips! We loved our Oregon trip last month. It was so fun to get to spend time with Scott's family and do some exploring. We usually go in the winter, so it was nice to be able to visit in the summertime and do some more outdoorsy things. In addition to Father's Day, and Alan's birthday and the zoo, here are some other pictures of our visit! |
| We attempted a little project. We stripped wallpaper in the kitchen and painted. And we learned some valuable lessons for when we do this in our house. :) |
 |
| Apparently I didn't get a picture of the finished product, but here it is with the wallpaper gone. Scott also replaced the blinds, which look really great now. |
 |
| Even Alan got in on the paining! (Notice we let him paint behind the fridge) :) |
 |
| We had lots of fun playing and picnicing at parks with Grandma and Grandpa. |
 |
| Getting so big! |
 |
| But still needing a little help |
 |
| Loving swinging with Grandma and Grandpa |
 |
| And we even got to take a trip to the beach! It was a little overcast... |
 |
| But that didn't stop our boys from having fun! |
 |
| They loved every minute of it. |
 |
| Here is a picture of the newest member of the family... Gidget. She is a cute and active doggy and we all loved her. |
 |
| If it weren't for the sand fleas, James could have sat here all day. |
 |
| Here's Alan and Daddy flying the Spider-Man kite. |
 |
| Alan thought it was pretty awesome. He just kept running, even after the kite would plummet and drag it along the ground. |
 |
| And James was not concerned about the sandiness of the graham crackers. |
 |
| We had to replicate this picture, as it was one of my favorites with Alan. |
 |
| Alan even found a rock mountain that of course he had to climb. He kind of blends in, I guess. |
 |
| And I just think this is a great picture. Don't you think Scott looks like a celebrity? |
It was a great trip! Luckily we will get to see our Grandma and Grandpa Robertson again here pretty soon. We love spending time with family.
And we so loved having you here. Every minute we spend with your precious family is sheer joy to us!
ReplyDeleteI love my 'new kitchen.' The wall above the cupboards and window were painted red and it looks awesome. Thank you so much for helping (as in doing) this.
Not to be creepy, but is this the finished kitchen?

I like the red paint! Very fun. And how funny! I thought the same thing when I saw the picture of Scott and Alan. I think its probably the sunglasses combined with the fact he didn't know you were taking it. Very "Avoiding Paparazzi" look! Glad you guys had so much fun!
SO MUCH FUN!!! There are so many cute pictures here. I love the one of Alan with the kite, the one with the wind blowing in James' face and of course the celebrity pose. I can totally see this in People. :)
