Park day

This was one of my favorite outings. I can still hear all the giggles from that night. I heart lots and lots of giggles... I remember hearing Taylor say, "Look mom... Look at all my cousins... we are use every single swing!"

Oregon 2010

I have so many pictures to sort through from our Oregon/Washington trip.. I don't even know where to start... Every day was packed full with so much fun..

Downtown. We rode the train to the Sand festival. Awesome train ride. Awesome castles. Awesome river. Awesome fun.
Train ride.
Look at my cute boys.. they are all matching.. ha ha.. they will so love that someday. They are usually dressed all mismatched looking like an orphan with no orphanage.. . but on this trip.. MATCHING. I so rock as their mom!
Sand castles.
Then we headed down to the river...
Where the boys enjoyed the beauty.. (Yeah right!? They were up to something.. .I just never figured out what. :))
And.. Jacq was practicing becoming a stunt women with our baby Lola..
Don't worry Lola survived!
We ran into more water.. Boys will be boys.. and this mom let them go wild. .. GO WILD friends!
How could I say no to this face?
Or this one?
Or this mad amount of fun...
Adventure one was a big success!

Miniature golf watson style..

Always a good time miniature golfing with my little fam.. . but it takes forever to do a round of 18 holes. So we changed the rules to fit our needs.. the kids all line up and take the first swing solo...
Then.. Ready.. SET ..GO! The goal is simple. Get your ball in the hole.
Everyone seemed to be having a good time... *cheese*
Until we realized that someone is just a little bit competitive..
and a tad too tired to be playing miniature golf...While the Max was smiling..Friend was pouting..While Alexander was being his goofy self..Friend was having her own time... crying.. in the corner by herself..
While Barrett was cheesing it up for his paparazzi momma...Yep.. you get the idea..When dad made a hole in one..Someone created their *own* hole in one..
I am exhausted reliving this adventure. It is safe to say that we have not been back miniature golfing this summer.. and it might be awhile for this mom to get the courage to brave 18 holes with this little lady... but all in all it was a good time.. and.. I am happy to say that we left happy...
