Beach Trip!

Jeff and I took the girls to the Newport, Oregon to go to the beach today - we had tons of fun! We were gone about 12 hours and the girls did wonderful.

We went to Oregon Coast Aquarium







We then went to the beach! We hade to HIKE down and up this gigantic hill! I thought my calves were going to die on the way back up - Jeff was amazing and carried Aubrey back up for me ~ they get heavy so fast! The girls did NOT like the sand at all. Aubrey was fine once her shoes were back on but you can see that Adison wanted nothing to do with the beach!!!






Aubrey wanted to play forever - we decided it was time to go when her lips were turning blue!

We then went into the town of Newport to walk along the piers. We got to see the famous sea lions!



This is what happened 5 minutes after we loaded up in the car to head home!!!

Summer Time!

I am having so much fun this summer being home with the Aubrey & Adison. It is going by way too fast though! The girls and I are looking forward to having Jeff home with us for most of August - he has three weeks off!!!

Here are a few pictures from this summer. We have been going to the zoo, playing in the pool and water table, playing at the park and hanging out with friends and family. There are also pictures of the girls potties! I decided that I am going to start introducing the potties to the girls since I am home all summer. Right now they just like to play on them as you see!

Guess what happened today...

This morning was going so great! Until I get back to my classroom from my "no-cell phones allowed" meeting to find a voicemail from baby school. It seems that everyone is there is convinced that Adison has chicken pox. This poor girl. She has eczema that comes and goes, that is treated by some high powerful cream. Well, this weekend she started getting eczema on her arms followed by some red dots - that went away when we put the cream on. Now I get a voicemail that she has them all over her tummy and back and her girl-area.

I can't find a sub anywhere (really people, I teach kindergarten - it is like paid playtime for a sub). So, Jeff has to leave Lake Oswego after just getting there 1.5 hours before. He gets the girls and ends up taking them to the Dr. He has a fun experience there (a RUDE lady decided to yell at them for being late - she then got paid back by two VERY LOUD yelling girls she had to watch while Jeff checked in).

Turns out she has a viral infection (thanks RYLEE for sharing!!!!) that is just like getting a runny nose. She just has super sensitive skin.

Jeff gets the super-dad award again for today!!!

New Milestones!!!

1st Birthday Pictures!

No time for words...

My eyes are getting heavy... here are some recent pictures though!!!

Happy First Birthday!!!

Wow! So hard to believe a year has gone by already. Jennifer and I ditched work and took the girls to Cafe Sip n Play (fist time there...GREAT place!), a fish hatchery, a park along the Columbia and of course Babies R Us so the girls could get their birthday crowns and balloons. :) They also got their first taste of cake and Cold Stone ice cream with Grandma and Grandpa Conway. Needless to say, the girls were exhausted by the end of the day...and so are Jennifer and I.
