Lincoln City Oregon!

The kids were so excited to get out to the beach. Our hotel was right on the beach and each room was an Ocean View which was really nice! We spent three night here! We had fun building sand castles, flying kites, jumping in sand ditches and running from the waves!

The path way walking down to the beach

I love the black in whites at the ocean!

I love this picture of my family! So sweet!

here Ethan is writing his Girl-friend Ava's name in the sand! The other day I printed the picture and took it to Ava's mom. She said I am going to keep this forever and use it someday for their wedding announcement!

Attack of the Seagulls! They were fighting over a lunchable that someone had left on the beach!

Presley and I digging!

A huge hole that we found. Later we decided to have long jumps in it! Such dorks

The little Travelers

Here is a picture of my two cute travelers. All I can say is Thank God for the TV DVD in the car!
The kids enjoyed watching movies on the way to Oregon!

Our first night we stayed in Mcminnville. It is just South Of Portland! We had dinner and then we hit the WoodBurn Outlet Mall! I love Oregon. Tax FREE! There are many great stores there and we did some school shopping for the kids!

Next morning we headed for Lincoln City to the Beach! First time the kids had been to a real beach with soft sand!

Lowest Tide of the Year

Pat's parents came down and we met my Dad down at Salt Water State Park for the lowest tide of the year! The kids loved playing out at the beach! We turned over many rocks looking for crabs and other animals. We spent time looking for sea shells and then had a picnic with the grandparents. It was a beautiful day out! After a morning at the beach we then got in the car and drove to Oregon for a three day Vacation. Pictures to follow!

Love Presley's hair blowing in the wind!

Presley and her bf Emma

Cruella and her litter of puppies!

Bert from Mary Poppins! I love how Presley is trying to pose like him!

meeting the Disney Characters

Day two was another great day! The kids got many of the Disney Character's autographs and we went on many rides. We went back to the hotel and 6 and let the kids swim in the pool for about an hour and then we got ready and headed to Downtown Disney for dinner. It was very funny because the kids were dropping off like flies at dinner even before the meals came. By the time we were done with dinner only the two big kids were awake! Needless to say it was a long walk back even though our hotel was right across the street from DL.

Ethan & Parker on Alison & Wonderland ride

Well I guess we can say that we are a pretty hard core Disney family since this is our fourth trip in two years to Disneyland and Disney World! What can I say we just love it! We spent four wonderful days down in Disneyland with two other families! It was such a blast and the kids had a great time traveling with their friends. I thought it would be a little crazy traveling with 6 kids and 6 adults but it wasn't at all; it went very smoothly! I see more trips in the near future with this bunch. Maybe next trip Vegas for the adults!!:)

More photos tomorrow!

More T-ball Pictures.

One of the moms made these buckets for each team member it's says Ethan on each side regular and upside down so that if it's up or if he is sitting on it he would be able to see his name!

And Ethan keeps all his baseball gear in it when he is at home!

And he hit's it hard!

Cheering on the other team!

Go LIONS!

Games over Presley and daddy walking to the car

Last Saturday was a great day for T-ball. It was beautiful outside. We got to the ball-field early and worked with Ethan on hitting. Wow did that make a huge difference. Just that extra 15 minutes and he was slugging it at his game. They played an all girls team called the pink panther princesses. So cute, make me excited to get Presley signed up!

Mother's Tea @ School

Last week Ethan had his Mother's Day Tea at School. It was so cute and all of the kids were so excited to have their Mommies there! We had a lite snack and then the kids gave us gifts and then the kids performed some of their chapel songs. Ethan was so precious and made me feel so special and proud to be his Mom!
