OREGON...

We had a great time being home in Oregon...
and we've got the pictures to prove it!
So let the good times roll...


we had a photo shoot daily with the Brody Bear...he's just so cute, we couldn't help ourselves!

so there is a story behind this picture...Brody poo'd and it smelled bad, call us wimps, whatev, but we were like - "let's not stink up the house" - so we took me outside on the deck and changed him there. Hey he didn't care - and it didn't stink so bad.

ZOO DAY!

We went to the Zoo with Tyson's sister Amy and our awesome nieces and nephew! We had a blast - the weather was perfect and all the animals were out and about - usually when we go the zoo the animals are sleeping.

So we considered this day a success!

awe the bear....we all know...I LOVE Bears!


we went on lots of afternoon walks which was lovely...


Brody started to discover a liking for his feet and on top of such a great discovery - Daddy and Brody watched the OSU vs. USC game. And that's all I will say about the game.

we went to VOO-DOO Doughnuts down in Portland one night with Jeremy and Namoi and it was tasty-tasty! Tyson had the "Maple Bacon Bar" and "some lemon kind" and I had hello! the VOO-DOO doughnut filled with the most delish raspberry filling I have EVER had! Please note my little VOO-DOO doll and the "needle" is a pretzel and the lovely "red frosting of blood" ozzing from the brain. Awesome, huh?

It was so good! We highly recommend going if you're ever in Portland.

and even though this has nothing to do with doughnuts - but it does have to do with voo-doo. On one of our travels a few years ago, we went to Haiti and learned that 70% of the people that die there, it's from VOO-DOO! Creepy, huh?


anywhos...moving along...


you can't tell here...but we all went bowling with my dad. Well, Brody didn't bowl - he slept the entire time - up till this picture was taken. We LOVE to Bowl.

here is our talented 3 month old figuring out, that if you pull on the elephants legs it rattles. Such a smartie!

Tyson studied for a BIG upcoming test he will be taking soon!
Brody was helping Tyson out - ya know, showing him the skill of studying.


we babysat our nephew Hayden one day - we played with toys, got in the hot tub, played with balls in the garage, walked on the treadmill, ran around the house, asked him 100 times what cookie monster says "COOKIES", and we feed him lots of Oreos. Yes, that's right Hayden's mom and dad....and it was fun! Pretty sure Hayden enjoyed himself as well.

Brody helped Grandpa mow the lawn.


oh he's so good to put up with us! So we borrowed my brother's bumbo chair to see how Brody would like it. He either wants to stand or sit up all the time - so we figured he'd love being able to sit up all by himself in the bumbo. Well, we were WRONG! All he wanted to do was try and stand up once he was sitting. Oh well, we tried. But he looks really cute sitting there - for like the 2 minutes that he lasted. Oh and yes we tried it multiple times. no luck. Silly little bear!
what do you get when you put a tired Brody in the hot tub? Well just the look on his face pretty much tells you it all. We thought Brody would love being in the hot tub, well he didn't hate it, but he also didn't love it. Our little water baby was kinda confused on why the bath tub looked so big. He pretty much kicked back with Tyson and relaxed and then we took him in gave him a little bath and he knocked out for a nice 3 hour nap. Next time we will make sure he's not so tired.

a picture from one of our many photo shoots - um, pretty sure he just looks funny here.

can't forget about the quality tummy time with the papa bear!


The BEACH! We went out to Seaside for the day and we had the greatest time! The weather was perfect and it was so much fun! It was Brody's first time to the BEACH and he LOVED it and the nice breeze that was blowing. He loves being outside - and being at the beach was the perfect way to spend a Saturday!


Our little family


Hello there! Am I not the cutest baby ever?? I know right! ahhh, we can't get enough of this little guy, we L-O-V-E him so much! So, once again we were hanging out - outside. The weather was perfect while we were in Oregon. I don't think it even rained the entire time we were home.
Now that is
Amazing!


Well there you have it! Oregon was wonderful! It's great to be home after a long trip - but it's nice coming back home and thinking about the awesome time we did have!
So...Until next time...
The End.
