Summer (birthdays, berry picking, swinging, bed time)

Wow, apparently if I take a million years to post something on here...a million picture accumulate to share.  Just a number of snapshots of our summer in Oregon!


at the duck pond...giving Jimmy homework time.

loving the bubble mustache and hair do!

Mmmm...brownie batter.

The windy beach

Never thought I'd like blueberries, but they are the easiest to pick.  No THORNS!!  Logan LOVES loves LOVES them.  He would help pick them as well putting all kinds in my bucket, eating unripe ones, not even phasing him.  It was quite the wild time!  We look good and tame at the beginning here...too bad we didn't take an after.  Had to strip that boy down!!
Yummy berry picking...mainly got TONS of blueberries.

29!!  He's officially in his "30th" year my mom has warn him, haha.  He has gotten to be rather old with a few more gray hairs popping out.  His greatest fear may be balding.  Got him some new biking shoes...which special in his size, means his 1 and only special present :)

coconut cake

Logan is learning he is a fan of birthdays

OUR BIG 1 YEAR OLD!!  How did we make it here??  It's been one crazy year and he has continued to be as wonderful as ever.  We love our little guy and can't imagine our world without him.  Our date nights we occasionally get just feel strange without our little man.  He means the world to us!!



Jimmy made this all by himself...scored and all ;)

and how to get a 1 year old to blow out a candle....
We practiced blowing bubbles, but that ended up always with eating the wand.  Jimmy had to hold this guys hands down.  He eventually just got his head so close a nice breeze from his breathe got that flame.

loving the balloons...

showing off his new toy that shoots out little balls.

quick!  take a picture in a white outfit.  love the outfit!
my grandparents got it straight from Thailand.

He loves bedtime with Daddy!

In fact, it's gotten to the point....no one but Jimmy can put him to sleep.  We get almost all the way there and suddenly as you think his eyes are closing...they POP open!!  "Dad"...."Dad!"..."dada".  UGH!  I often have to call Jimmy from homework to do the last 5-10 mins to get him to fall asleep.  He loves his daddy singing him to sleep.  No one can match this great man!!

the first time on the swing together!  We're both fans!!

Summer has been absolutely wonderful!  Our main project is getting our own separate space.  As I may have mentioned previously we are moving to the "shop".  It's a separate building that is getting entirely renovated with all the trimming of a regular apartment.  We will be there throughout Jimmy's schooling.  Life has been working out great here.  We are continually finding the best balance for our family, but bottom line is we are happy and would not change a thing!  Well...aside from magically making it so ALL our family lives closer :)  As for new things Logan has learned...he has learned how to smell the flowers.  SUPER cute!  He has learned spitting pureed food is naughty, but gets Mom to laugh.  It's really hard to stifle laughing at things you don't want your children to do.  He has started dancing to music.  Good times!!  Hope everyone else is having a great summer as well!!  Soon to come...summer vacation!  Hooray!!!
