Love spending time away with my wonderful husband! We got 3 nights away and we haven't had longer than one night away since our 10th anniversary!
Walking the riverfront!
We spent an amazing afternoon at the SHARC in Sunriver relaxing in the lazy river! Kinda weird being there without any kids to watch, but wonderful!
Biking the trails in Sunriver!
We rented a tandem kayak and rode it up and down the Deschutes for a couple hours! Beautiful weather!
We stayed in our first Air B&B for our trip, and it was quite the cute little apartment over a garage! Everything you could need, except air conditioning! Ooops, forgot to check on that when booking! Fortunately with multiple fans, we survived.
By far my most favorite card Maco has ever given me! Such sweet words.....It's been a wonderful 15 years, and never would have dreamed we would be adding to our family for the next 15!!
Annual trip to Neskowin with Sittee!
Unfortunately, we couldn't find any dates that worked for Maco to come with us this year with his crazy b-ball schedule!

Ready for the beach!
Some of my favorite pictures from the trip!
Showing each other their new clothes from the Lincoln City outlets!
So I may be a little crazy, but I live for the farmer's market scones every year in Neskowin! Well I showed up 10 mins before opening to be the first in line, and the vendor wasn't there! I almost had a complete pregnant meltdown! I called the number on her facebook account and found out she has her own stand about 14 miles away, and you better believe I drove there to get my scones!!
The most amazing marionberry scones! Worth the drive!!
Sportin' Mama's glasses!
I was impressed that Kyrie flew his kite, even with barely any wind!!

Such a great trip and wonderful memories made!

Water fun with friends!
Mia on her way to her first overnight church camp! It was the only camp she wanted to do all summer long, and she was sooooo excited!
Fortunately she had her BFF Heidi there with her!
Bunks are all ready and time for us to go!:(
Love that we got updated pictures throughout the time Mia was gone!
She had a lot of fun, but wasn't a huge fan of the food or nap time!! We sure missed her while she was gone, but so thankful for this wonderful opportunity she had!

VBS fun!!
The kids absolutely love VBS at our church and getting to see friends, too!
Kinley lovin' on Kyrie at another magic show at the library! Although I did think it was funny that normally she prefers Mia, but when Kyrie's little girl friends from school came to sit by him, she was all over him, like hey, this is my cousin, he's mine!! She literally sat like this for about 15 minutes!
The magician was from our high school and was in Auntie's class. And the helper for the day was our cousin! So fun running into them today!
Smoothies after VBS!
Dress up fun!
We hosted a neighborhood play date to meet some of our new neighbors this month!
Mommy~daughter~son date to our favorite bakery while Daddy was in Vegas recruiting!
VBS performance during Sunday worship
So Kyrie is one of the most ambitious little kids I know......and stubborn too.....he wrote out scrolls to most of his classmates inviting them to a class basketball game in our backyard. He didn't have their addresses and didn't put our return address on them. Oh and no postage! He just shoved them through the mail slot and didn't care if they didn't get to them. He didn't want my help, so I didn't want to squash his idea! I wonder what the mail carrier thought!!!
Suit fitting for the wedding! He is so excited and wanted to wear the suit home and for the next 3 days before the wedding!
Park picnic time with Sittee!
Running through the sprinklers on a hot day at the park!
Mia played so well with this little one that I watched, while Kyrie was gone!
Kyrie waited for this day for about 365 days!! First day of the George Fox Bruin youth basketball camp with Daddy! Its for 3-8th graders, so he was still the youngest. It was a long week of 6am wakeups and driving back through 1.5 hours of traffic each day! He had an awesome week!!
Out for an evening ice cream walk on a 100 degree day!
Stopped for some time on the neighborhood swing!
Mia spent an hour giving me a complete makeover! nails, hair, makeup, and an outfit!
The finished product! Kyrie in the background playing basketball of course!
My BFFs from college came down for our baby shower!
Such wonderful sisters! This is the second shower that they have thrown for me! So appreciate their generosity!
So glad these two could be apart of this special event! Still kind of surreal that we are actually having a baby shower for our baby!!!
