Ocean Love :)

So, we took Everett to the beach. He LOVED it so so much! He loved the sand, he loved being able to crawl on and on wherever he wanted! It was perfect weather too, not too hot, but pleasant :) We played in the sand, and chased seagulls, and splashed our feet in the shallow tide. He loved it! It was a challenge to get him to look up from the sand for a picture, we got some darling ones though! I just wish John had been there to see how cute Everett was, loving the beach!

Could he get any cuter?!!!

funny face, I love all of his expressions!

See his tongue sticking out? That's how you know he's concentrating, ha! Cute...

Wanna frame this one of me and the boy...he seems so grown up! Almost a year old...BOO.

Cute mom and dad, it was so fun to be home and to have them all to myself! I didn't have to share them with ANYBODY!!! Lucky me!

Building sand piles with Grandpa...

Clovers at the Rhody Park

We went to Hendricks park, it was beautiful! We Call it the Rhody park because of all the Rhododendrons, they were GORGEOUS!!! Along the path we saw this clump of clovers and planted the little man there.

This is Everett's newest trick, Michael(Woodmansee) taught it to him, when we say wink, he closes his eyes tight, he totally thinks he's doing it, and it's theeee most charming trick ever!

Seriously, lotta clovers!

Oregon part 1

We got back form oregon today, the trip was no less than delightful! It's midnight though and I am pooped...just wanted to share a few photos, there will be more, lots more, we had so much fun! Thanks mom and dad for taking such good care of us for a few weeks, we miss you already!!!

My Dad and Everett were kind of inseparable, it was pretty darling, though it put grandma out when she tried to take him when dad had to go to work, and Everett just shied away from her tighter into grandpa's arms...he was like his little shadow, so cute, and My Dad just ate it all up! I LOVED watching them play together!

ha ha, shy little man...

Welcome NEW baby Everett!!!

Don't be confused, this is Justin and Jenni's newest baby born TODAY {I don't even know what time, or how much he weighed or anything...but this pic is PRESH!!!}

His name is Everett...and he is CUTE...that's all I know.

Welcome to the world baby, we are excited you are here!!!

First Hair Cut

Everett's hair has been sort of resembling a mullet in the back lately, and because his cowlicks are so funny, he had this funny swoop of hair in the front. So at the farewell BBQ at Jenni and Michaels (which was a blast BTW) I had Steph cut his hair.

Soo super fly! It kind of makes me sad because he looks more like a little kid than a baby, he wears it well though, so handsome! Love his little faux hock :)

in the car...his hair caught the sun just right, and he was glowing...

This last picture is from Sunday morning, Everett and I both fell asleep on the couch after breakfast, which is so rare that he falls asleep snuggling me like this anymore, it was heavenly, and when I woke up John showed me this picture, look at his cute hands! SOOO TENDER!!!

Picnic

We went to a park near our house for a picnic...I am in LOVE with this weather!!!

Look at my matchy dudes, orangey plaid shirts and brown corduroy pants...that's cute.

hahhaaa, doesn't this just make you smile, Everett's EARS!!! LOL!! He's such a happy kid!
A funny expression...


haha, these are all just really fun

So, this is kind of a nothing post, nothing much to say, just some silly photos to share :) Still working on unpacking, and enjoying each other every second.

Bike Ride

We took a break from unpacking this evening to explore the neighborhood and go on a bike ride! It was SOOOOO FUN!!!
This bike trailer was something we knew we wanted as soon as we found out we were expecting, it's the first thing we bought for the baby, this is the second time we've used it, the first time was last fall and Everett was SOOOO teensy!
We live on a golf course! One perk is that it's GORGEOUS, and another is that there are trails all over the place, and they are REALLY fun to ride on {although I'm not actually sure we are supposed to...???}
We tried to snap a family photo with our little point and shoot camera on the timer...it didn't turn out that great, but it's better than nothing :)
These pretty purple weeds are all over the place, so pretty!
Aren't the hills in the background so pretty? Like desert pretty, not Oregon forest pretty...different :) Plus as sunset, everything looks prettier!
Ahhh, I LOVE these photos! Everett LOVES to be tossed as high as we can throw him, he giggles non stop in anticipation when we are about to toss him :) Such a fun age!

Smooches :)

Everett showing off his hat from aunt Jenni, thanks Jenni, he loves it! {Okay he could probably care less, but I LOVE IT!}
John says he looks like Rocky from Rocky and Bullwinkle...Halloween idea?!!! Totally!

See?! That would be soooo cute! I could make John a bullwinkle costume!

Well, we're still BUSY moving in, unpacking boxes, but sleeping over at our new place is fun! It's starting to feel like home :)
