Tiny Dancer

 After sitting through the entire Nutracker ballet last December Aidy has been asking to take ballerina (ballet). She talks about it constantly. Our local dance school only opens registration once per year so we had to wait until the fall and now here we are!
She absolutely loves to dance and at the each class she never fails to aske when we are coming back. I didn't want to be a "dance mom" but if she loves it then I love it too!

3 little blondies - Aidy, Ada, and Hannah

Got to go back.....back to school!

Eclipse 2017

Admittedly I was underwhelmed by the whole experience and the kids were less than impressed. Maybe if I had planned ahead and bought the eclipse glasses it would have been more climactic! 

Lucky for Matt, he was in Lander WY and had one of the best views in the country!

Pacific City 2017

Day 1: Crabbing at Netarts and then ice cream in town!

Playing on the dunes and attempting to master sand boarding!

 Learning to clean clams and crabs with Papa!

We did so well with crabbing on day 1 that we went on day 2!

Visiting Depot Bay - we actually got to see a whale in the bay!

Family Crab Feed and Oyster Shooters!

Bon-fire and sparklers on the beach.

Game time with cousins.

Final full day so we deep fried clams and had the last of the oyster shooters.

One more trip to the dunes!
