9

Carl and I celebrated our 9th anniversary earlier this week. We had a low key day, Carl went to work and the kids and I hung out with aunt Chann, then we went to see the A-Team (which was a lot better movie than I thought it was going to be) and ate at Iggy's. We did a super low key anniversary because we are going to Hawaii at the end of July, yeah! We are having a great run we have a great home, great jobs, and two amazing kids, what more could you ask for. Carl is such a great dad and husband and I married my best friend, which makes life that much easier. I love you babe!

The Coast

We're at the Oregon Coast with the Gatherum's again this year. After a switch of houses, from a hole with a gas leak and potato bugs crawling everywhere to a $2.2 million gorgeous home, and a bunch of rain we are having a great time. This is one of our favorite places to visit.

Here are the kids at the Fish Hatchery in the Columbia River Gorge. Garrick ran away from the sturgeon, he said, referring to the fish, "He could eat me whole."

Marley thought she was so big hiking up Latourell Falls, she wouldn't let me hold her hands and kept putting them behind her back so I couldn't grab them. It was hilarious.

Marley loves the sand and didn't want much to do with the water.

Garrick loved running from the waves he was so funny and kept getting more and more brave, those waves are stronger than they look.
