What About Me?

For the last event of the big labor day weekend, we had dinner at the park by my momma's house. Bekah just played with her little pull dog that I got at the one spot last year (I put it away for a few months because I was tired of having to drag it around to every place we went). Topher though was so cute-A bunch of teenager guys were playing basketball, and Topher found a ball-he just stood there looking at them, wanting so much to be invited to play. It was SO cute. He kept looking us and asking "eh?" Some day buddy.

Duck, Duck, Goose

We had an extra loaf of bread that we saved from the camping trip, we went to the pond up by my moms house and fed the ducks and geese. Topher wasn't much into feeding them, but loved chasing them. Me...a little scared of the geese, (a bad experience with them at Adventure Land Park in my hometown as a little girl), my kids have no fear though-even when they hiss and flap their wings at them. I hate them, the geese, not my kids...it took me everything I had to take these pictures without running up the rock wall. The best part had to be when Bekah said, "Look they're playing duck duck goose!" How cute is that!

This is how we roll...

Lovin the road trips!

We love road trips! Especially when it is just the 4 of us, my kids are both great in the car, no fighting or anything yet, so we opt for driving over flying when we go long distances most of the time. This weekend we weren't going too far, just to the coast-(Pacific City, in case you were wondering) but as usual the road trip was fun. Topher was asleep for most of the trip and Bekah watched a couple movies. I had fun with the camera, and Chad just drove. Good times...

Little Bunny Foo Foo

The campground we stayed out was over run with rabbits. How they got there is a mystery, why they stay, not so much. Everyone was feeding them, including my kids. Topher loved chasing them and they didn't seem to mind him so much, which was pretty surprising as he can be a little overwhelming. Bekah didn't want to stop feeding them anything and everything! It was a fun little campground and the bunnies were definately an added bonus to the festivities.
This pic is for Tab, she really wants to see pics of Charlie-she is missing him like crazy!

A day at the beach

We stayed right across the street from the beach-as one sign so nicely pointed out-300 steps from it! It was a lot of fun, although of course crowded because of the holiday and the choice waves apparently (there were SO many surfers on this beach-which was surprising since the water was so cold it was painful to touch. I know they had wetsuits...but still!). Topher did not want to leave at all this time, and Bekah got a little cold, so we didn't stay too long. We spent most of the weekend at the campground. We did go swimming in the pool and walk around at the shops, but not as much beach playing as you might think being that close, we went each day, but didn't play there much. Still any day even near the beach is a pretty good day still.

What to do with the kids...

...when they just won't stop running in the street when you are trying to pack up camp. This actually worked out really nicely. The kids seemed to enjoy it. Don't judge, you're just sorry you didn't think of it!

First Day Jitters

...it's 8:50am. Bekah has now been at her first day of school for about 55 minutes. Time is going by soooo slow. She gets out at 10:30-which I thought was a short school day, but it seems so long to be away from my baby girl!

She was so excited this morning. She had a great attitude, especially for being woken up at 6:30! I took a couple pics of her on the front porch and she was being so silly-just posing and being cute. I got to the school and all the high school students were waiting to help the kids inside. Bekah clinged to my hand and wanted me to bring her in, (and I wanted to bring her in too, so I wasn't pushing the issue in the least!). We went inside and the students helped her find her name tag and put it in the slot and then they brought her into the playroom, she looked scared-she was the first kid there, so I don't blame her.

I left feeling a little uneasy about it, hoping she wasn't in there crying. When I got to my car, I saw the Youngs pulling up with Taylor, I pulled around, and decided to go in with them to check on Bekah and make sure she was having fun. I had nothing to worry about. She was playing with blocks and having a great old time, talking to a high school student. I had her show me her cubby, (Taylor was hiding in hers by that point-a little overwhelmed for a minute, she did get up and start playing by the time I left though) and then Bekah went back to playing with blocks and barely gave me a second look when I said goodbye. Now if I can just get over MY first day jitters! I can't wait to go pick her up and see how her first day was!
