DG's first trip to the beach

Last weekend me and Dallen took a trip down to Coos Bay to visit our friends that just moved down there a few months ago. We left Doug at home to some peace & quiet. This was Dallen's first trip to see the ocean & boy was he thrilled. I couldn't tell if he was most excited about seeing his old buddies Byron & Ayden or seeing the sand & ocean for the first time. I think it was a pretty close toss up!

Here's DG & Byron sharing/sneaking snacks


oh, how I'm missed you friend!


DG's ready for some sand & surf!


all the boys enjoying the beach


Dallen was so excited he was running around yelling & pointing at everything. It was the funniest thing ever. Still makes my heart smile!

hey, kid, what did you find?


oh a starfish!


and a crab!


Mommy & the sleepy one!


tribal dance!


best buddies reunited


free at last!


my happy kid






time for a sandbath!


and a sammich!


I've seen it all, now I can go home happy! (blows kisses)


here's me and Jill on our one night out. Wade thought it was a good idea to offer to watch all the boys so we could have dinner without the kids. I bet he was sorry! HAHA! Me & Jill went to this little restaurant called Oyster Cove they have the best cod EVER! We thoroughly enjoyed our night out!



thanks Jill & Wade for having us, we really had the best time!
