I'm Behind...

So, I have been behind! Here is a quick update of activities we've been up to the last few weeks.

Starting from February 4th, 2010.

Teagan testing out the durability of the new equipment.

They boys installing a new cable box.

My childhood friend, Maggie, her twin girls, Kennedy and Whitney, turned 2 on the 5th, and we went to their birthday party.

The girls with Jared's Dad.

Whitney in her pretty dress.

Teagan had fun with the balloons.


We love going to the beach as you might have figured out by now. This was from the 7th, and what a pretty day it was, hardly no wind.

From the morning of the 11th:

Valentine's Day:

James is reading the card that "Teagan" got for him.

Cards, chocolate, and a son!

Happy Valentine's Day!

New Sun Hat!

Now that it is starting to get nice out, and we love to go to the beach, I wanted to get Teagan a sun hat. So we stopped at the store and bought a sun hat and baby sun block SPF 50! The hat is too funny, it is blue and has pirates on it with palm trees and treasure. It is still a little big for him but he'll grow into it. But we went out to the beach while Adam and Ashley were down, and Teagan got lathered up in sun block and he got to wear his new hat.

I think it is funny.

Me and Teagan.

So cute! (and funny)

It got a little windy, so we put Teagan's pants back on.

Hanging out with Dad.

Nothing like hanging out with Dad and eating Salami!

A day at the beach

" Hello out there, can you see me?"

Teagan all bundled up inside his car seat, with his peace beanie on his head.

Off we go!

With my vanilla chai in hand and the baby, both favorites of mine!

Peek!

Daddy and Teagan

"Yes, Daddy, I'm fine, I'm just sleepy!"

Peter Iredale

This is a photo of the Peter Iredale Ship that was built in 1885. It recked here on the Oregon coast on October 25, 1906. Parts of it still remains, and I have been going out there and playing on what is left of the ship since I was little. Below is what it looks like today.

Rusty frame

Barnacles live on the lower part of the frame.

Here is looking through it towards the front of the ship.

Here it is in the snow.

Here it sits on a regular day.

When the tide is really low, and the sand has washed away, you can actually still see some of the teak decking.

The Beach-No Snow vs. Snow

Here I am, 33wks pregnant!

And now here I am 2 1/2wks not pregnant!

No snow


Snow!

(and yes, we did eventually go back to the car and put on our jackets! Don't worry mom-both of you.)

James and Kiely, she loves the beach, she can just run and run! Notice my husband, shorts and bare feet! (November 22, mind you)

Kiely and I on the beach, in the snow! (December 19)

James and I (and Kiely) like to go to the beach. Since we live right on the Oregon coast why not go. It is refreshing and beautiful. One of our favorite spots is the Peter Iredale beach. I have some photos that I was meaning to post up from our visit there from Nov. 22. Mind you I was still pregnant (33wks). As most of you know we have been having some snow fall here, and I was getting a little cabin fever staying at home, so I told James that I wanted to go to the beach, because I have never seen the beach with snow before. So here are some before and after photos.

Kerry & Todd's Wedding

Kerry and I on her wedding, Aug. 23, 2008. It was a beautiful wedding held in Gearhart, Or. Kerry and were friends in high school and grew up out in the country together, and were able to reconnect in January when I moved back to Astoria. It has been great fun for James and I to have such good friends. Kerry was a beautiful bride!
It was very special for James and I to be able to be apart of Kerry and Todd's big day. James and I at the beach after Kerry and Todd's wedding. We had such a nice time. I love it how my husband can always be himself, rolled up tux pants, no shoes, unbuttoned top shirt button. We always seem to end up being ourselves and have a great time with eachother.
