Last month of summer

It's been a long summer but we had a very busy last month. We took a trip to Oregon (drove the 15 hours) and had a blast once we got there. We broke the drive up into two days so Cody loved staying in the hotel. Once there, Cody got to play with the other kids and Daniel and I got to visit with my college friends and their husbands. Not to mention see more of Oregon. After returning home, I also started back up on making holiday crafts since that season is just around the corner.

Here are the latest crafts. The tree is the craft that I am going to do for our Relief Society Fantastic Friday. It's way easy and really cute.

Here is Cody in deep thought on the first day of school. He's a big 1st grader now and is doing really well. He has a wonderful teacher this year. He plays pretty hard during the day too because when we pick him up he's filthy!! Boys will be boys!

While in Oregon we took a trip to the zoo. This here is one of the shows where birds fly over your head...literally right over your head!

We got to take a train ride to the zoo since we had to park so far away, but the kids enjoyed it.

We went to Cannon Beach and hit up the candy store, YUM!!

This is us at Cannon Beach. I loved it, it was so pretty and just a different feeling than being at the beach here in Cali.

We also hit up the famous Hillsboro air show. I loved seeing all the fighter jets. They are amazing.

We were able to see all sorts of helicopters and air planes.

This doesn't even describe how cool the jets are flying up close. They are so powerful, they give you chills.

The kids had a good time sleeping in the play room together.

We also did a little peach and blueberry picking, YUMMY!!

One for the basket, one for your mouth...

Ready to start picking

The kids got a little Wii playing in of course so the parents could play some games of our own. Good times for sure!

Thanks Jen and Allison for such a good time. I love my girls! And their husbands are pretty cool too. We had a great time and can't wait for our next trip to Oregon!
