On the Columbia River

Last week the weather was beautiful so we took a walk down on the Columbia River. Here's Dame with Mad putting their feet in...

It was freezing cold!!
Noel was as happy as a clam being pushed in the stroller. :0)

LOTS of pics from the Oregon Zoo

Maddie is very excited to be on her way to the zoo...

...and Noel heading to the zoo for the first time.

Zebras!

Maddie feeding the birds.

Elephants!

Being cheesy on the animal statues--



Maddie loved the monkeys, too.
And, finally, a pig with tusks...

Rockabilly Noel

A couple weeks ago I styled Noel's hair for church with some of Dame's gel. Isn't he handsome? He looks just like his dad --minus a couple tattoos. :)

More fun @ Nana's

Noel LOVES being pulled in the wagon with his big sis.

Sammy-poos!!! Lookin' cute in the 'Couve!

Mad's truck

Here's Maddie learning to drive her truck with Nana's help. Sammy is keeping an eye on both of them. She has a lead foot like her mama. ;)

Maddie will be the next Guitar Hero

tea at nana's

we are back in the northwest and back online! yay! ;)

when the kids and i arrived it was grey, cold, and rainy... i was surprised how much i got used to the weather in north carolina. but thankfully the clouds rolled away and we got to enjoy the last days of summer here.

here are a couple pics of our first sunny day back in nana's (dame's mom's) garden. she could seriously charge admission to go back there. it's beautiful and extremely relaxing. maddie has her own play house (with a loft!), tea set, and truck to drive around --she's better off than her carless parents! haha.

Outer Banks slideshow

We went to the Outer Banks last Tuesday, 5 August. It was a fun trip --we saw a lot for one day! Here are the photos from the trip:
