What a Nut!

Just looking through pictures today and came across this nut--boy do I love him!

Arizona

My mom and I flew down to Arizona two weeks ago to visit my grandparents down there and to buy their car they were done with. It was great to get to see my grandma as I haven't seen her since her fall this last summer. She is doing so much better then we thought she would be which is great! It was really nice to get away and visit them. But then we had a long drive ahead of us all the way back up to Oregon. We stopped in Cali for a quick Disneyland trip where we didn't bring our camera, but we did most of California Adventure & Disneyland from 6:30-midnight. It had been really stormy that day there, so there weren't many lines at all and we walked on to most of them! It was a fun memory to make with my mom. Plus we got a great new hybrid too!

Catching Up!

It's been a while, I know. Here are some pictures from the few days after our Hawaii trip with Andrew's parents & Aunt here! What a blessing it was to have them come out and watch our boys, but it was even more fun to get to hang out with them ourselves too! We are really looking forward to getting to spend time with them all at Christmas in New Hampshire!

This is how my boys win in Twister…a little push!

Maui!

My favorite snack in the world: strawberry papaya with passion-fruit & lime juice. The Wailua wheat beer is amazing too!

We had an amazing trip to Maui with our dear friends…it's hard to be back:) Here are a few pictures from out trip!

Pumpkin carving with my boys:)

So much for that...

I forgot my camera on the counter yesterday…we still took a few pictures, but they were just on our iphone & ipad, so they won't be fabulous.

My to-do list is growing long, and the time to do it in is running out! My mother-in-law & Aunt are flying out here soon, so I have a lot I want to do! Most of it is just organizing shelves & closets, but that's a big job! Today I'm going to try and get to every closet & shelf. I work tomorrow & have my last volleyball match of the season, so won't have any time, and then Wednesday I'm sure I'll be getting organized for our trip. Just a few more days!

Absent...

I have NOT been blogging, and I think that's because I haven't been talking pictures…so that's changing today! We're doing the pumpkin patch, so we'll be taking pictures, then I'll leave the camera out for our adventures this week and I WILL post! Stay tuned...
