Playing in the park-Stawberry Festival

I'm sorry I haven't posted in so long. You would think that me being on break from teaching I'd stay more on top of this. I have a lot of images to post, so I'm going to try and keep up on it.

Luke on the slide.

Dad is so fun.

Hanging with Cousin Cody

Cody, six week younger than Luke, is crawling and climbing everywhere. Luke just watched and watched Cody. I think it finally helped motivate Luke to start crawling himself. He's finally crawling forward! Ahh, we have to "baby proof" fast!

"Oh give me a hug!"
The boys enjoyed grabbing eachother.
Trying to get a photo for Grandpa, it was not an easy task. Cody wouldn't sit still and Luke hated sitting in the grass.
Happy Father's Day. Luke loves his fun dad.

All boy!

We bought this "Bike tractor" from our neighbors. The boys thought it was pretty fun. Next summer they will be able to actually reach the pedals.

Memorial Day Weekend in Yachats

It was one amazing weekend at the beach. It was so nice to finally get away from housework, work and just relax. We did a lot of relaxing!

This is the view from the beach house.

Jacob (cousin) is so good with Luke, they kept each other entertained.
Sometimes you just get the urge to push your sister around in the stroller.

Luke sure loves his Dad.

Hanging with Grandpa
Jacob calls Matt "Uncle," it's so cute. He was thrilled to have an uncle when we got married.

He thinks Matt is so cool.
Jacob thought is was warm enough to go swimming, it didn't last too long.Grandma pushed me too.

Pet Parade

The community comes together every May and puts on the funniest pet parade. The kids walk around with their animals like they're movie stars. Gynxy wasn't quite up for walking in it, so we opted to just watch. We were keeping an eye out for our neighbors.

Matt and Luke getting ready for the parade to start. Luke was stunned the whole time.

You can't really see them, but there were kittens riding along. This is another friend of Luke's named Sophia. (the babysitter's daughter) The Kaplan's walking Oscar.Chickens too!
St. Bernard, I would get one if they weren't so hairy!
Horses were last.

Wine and Jazz Festival

Despite the weather, we all walked around downtown Silverton visiting shops and sampling wine. We found this place along Silver Creek and it is going to be a future cafe. Luke loved looking at the water.

Stedman Visit

Carter stayed home so Tatum and Jason could get some shopping done. Isn't McLain a mini Jason? He has one solid little torso. He was born March 22nd.

I'm going to be an Oregon Duck

My Great Aunt Kay and Uncle Jack got me this outfit. It's finally getting warm enough to wear it!

Guitar Hero

Sometimes bad things happen to good people. We are living out our musician fantasies in our living room. Luke things his Dad is very funny rocking out on the guitar. He loves to play with the colorful buttons.
