Exploregon!

Birdie and Bry are still in town, and we are having a great time. The only thing is...they work way too hard when they visit. Here is a brief list of accomplishments they have done since their arrival:

• Weeded the gardens (this is a huge task in our yard, and generally in Oregon)
• Made the annual tower of cupcakes
• Done all grocery shopping for a week
• Cooked all meals for a week
• Cleaned both of our cars inside and out (another big task, we are kinda messy)
• Filled up the gas tank multiple times
• All laundry for a week
• All house cleaning for a week (see note above about us being kinda messy...)
• Babysat
• Hung pix
• Superglued various things that needed to be superglued
• Ironed (funny confession...I hadn't ironed ONCE since moving to Oregon 3.5 years ago)
• All garbage and recycling to curb (big deal because we have lots of stairs!)
• Made some chocolate zucchini muffins, which I am devouring as I type

I am sure I am leaving off a zillion things...but you get the idea.

So.....I am soooooo happy they they are off having a little adventure of their own today. O and I are both working, and little WKF is at school. I have receive some great photos from their day trip. It looks like they are finding some lovely spots! I can't wait for them to get home and tell us all about it.

They found Lost Lake, sent by Bry this afternoon:

For Outside Naps

I am loving this baby hammock. Thank you Ohdeedoh for always having such fun finds.

Handsome Nephew

Sweet boy, I will be there in a week to kiss those cheeks and thighs. Your mom says you are a porker, I just think you are handsome!

Silly French Men...

This is pretty funny. Maybe out of context, but after having done a good amount of work in France with French men, I am not so sure...

Come on Corey

I totally agree with the Queen of All Media, this was a weird outfit choice by Corey Feldman for MJ's memorial.

The Fourth!!!

I hope you all had a great fourth! We sure did!

Our little patriot!

Summer = skinnydipping!

Our little superhero!

The annual tower of cupcakes. Thanks Birdie!

Ready for the party!

The s'more pit was a big hit...I think it will be an annual thing.

Weenies on the Water

Next time you are trolling the waters of the Willamette, be on the lookout for the Weenie boat!

Maybe a Bit Too Much...?

Is this for real? A Baby Crying Analyzer...

Fun on the Water

We are having fun with Birdie and Bry, as usual. Yesterday we had a blast out on the water. It was a gorgeous day.

We love summer!

Pilates by Great Grandmother

Does your great grandmother do Pilates? Because WKF's sure does. We were at her house for a visit back in April, and O was teaching her a few moves. By the way, O is totally hooked on Pilates...have you tried it?

The rest of us just sat around watching...we were impressed...

Photo du Jour

O worked from home for a bit this morning. He got some good help.

It's Baby Day in Bean Town

Today I am thinking about this gorgeous mama, who is delivering her second son at some point today! I am anxiously awaiting her great news! And doesn't she wear that bump well?!
