Family Vacation

Hmm, I tried posting my video to share with everyone, but for some reason it is not working. Instead, I will share some pics from my family vacation to the coast that we took in August. We went to Bella Beach with my Colorado Grandparents and my Aunt Melissa, Uncle Mark and cousins, Emily and Chloe. We rented a house right on the beach in between Newport and Depoe Bay. We had lots of fun, but Mom misplaced the camera, so she didn't get as many pictures as we had hoped.

At first, I was nervous about the oceans and found the sand hard to walk on, but I soon got the hang of everything and had a great trip.

Here's me starting to figure out the ropes..



I got a little bit of sand on my face.



Hanging out with my dad.



He thought it would be really funny to bury me in the sand.



I thought it was pretty cool too.



By this time I was beginning to think the beach was pretty cool and that possibly this sand tasted better than the sand from my sandbox at home. I decided to test that theory.



It didn't.



Dad and I hunted for agates.



We had plenty of indoor fun too. Here I am playing with Chloe and Emily.



Kylie, Savannah and Mallory came to visit one day. Here I am playing with Kylie.



I don't remember why I was looking so grumpy in this photo of Savannah and I.



Here's a cute pic of Chloe. She is 30 days older than me.



Dad and I flew a kite.



And to end, a sweet shot of me and my Grandma.

Coloring, Gnomes, Wagon Rides

So, my mom's a slacker and I decided I had to take matter into my own hands or this blog would NEVER get updated. Here are some of my personal favorites from July.

Here I am coloring a masterpiece...

Creating a masterpiece can be hard work, even for someone as talented as me. I decided to take a break and act goofy. Mom thinks I resemble Uncle Greg in this picture.

At this point, I decided I needed a little snack. Seeing that there was nothing else around, I decided to try my coloring utensils. (Not too shabby)

Mom tried getting in on the action, so I had to hold all the crayons.

I have befriended the little people that live in and around my house. It's fun to pick them up and take them wherever I want them to go. They don't seem to mind.

Here's a pic of Dada taking me on a safari ride in our backyard. You never know what we'll see..

I get pretty thirsty in the heat. I bring my sippy cup and encourage Dad to keep going!

No one can resist my request for a ride.

Sometimes I miss my cousins really bad. This night Mom gave me their pictures to eat dinner with..

Kylie stayed the night with me one night. We went horseback riding!

And finally here's me helping sort the mail. Be sure to check back soon. I've got a cute video on the way. Unfortunatey it's way past my bedtime.

Sid found a perfect finger fit...

Mmm, this food is good...

Q-Bert...

Goin up & down this hill rocks!

Mom says I look a lot like Dad in this photo...

Sitting on my new couch...

And finally my Radio Flyer wagon...

July

The following photos were all taken in July.

Sid and Michael at Sid's 15 month doctor's appointment. Sid is very cool.

Getting ready for the 4th.

I had the week of the 4th off, so I took Sid up to Salem to see his dad. This photo is in front of the capitol building.

Sid really, really wanted this turtle from the Safeway Starbucks. The shoes are just adorable and together they make a cute photo. Sid has never once even looked at that turtle since we got back from this trip!

We went to Grandma Audrey's house for the 4th. Here is Sid in the sandbox before the sand got added.

Enjoying his food.

Sid with his cousin, Kiehin. Sid is not very happy in this picture. He did not want to share and threw a fit when I eventually removed him from the sandbox.

Cousins..

More to be added later!

Summer Days

Here are some photos from the summer.



Chillin' in the sandbox.



Climbing through his tunnel.



Heading to daycare.







Playing with Dad.

Father's Day 2007

We had a really great day celebrating Father's Day. It began with a sprinkle covered doughnut.



We then headed out to find some adventure and have a picnic. We found a really cool park on the other side of Sweet Home. I believe it's called Cascadia State Park. Hambone accompanied us.
