Crazy Busy Weekend!

July has been a busy month for us. We have gone to two weddings and have celebrated 3 birthdays. I think this weekend won for busiest weekend in July by far. But it was a lot of fun and we enjoyed every minute. Friday my brother Ryan turned 28!!! I can't believe it! So we celebrated by going to the beach. We did a little shopping, ate at Mo's and then headed to the beach. Me, being the Oregonian mother, bundled poor Abby up in a sweat shirt and pants and a hat. Poor kid. I was shocked that when we got down to the beach it was actually...hold on to your seats folks.....WARM!! Shocking I know. So she eventually shed a few layers.

While shopping daddy needed a little snack. Can you tell that someone else did too!! She was seriously diving for the ice cream. It was the funniest thing I have ever seen. Those of you who watch Jon and Kate Plus 8 would know Kate would be freaking out by now. Not me....just a little stain stick. he he

Abby wasn't quite sure of the sand at first. But it eventually ended up in her mouth. She was helping build a sand castle. Well, Ryan and Daniel were Ashlynn (who is 2) and Abby were busy destroying it.

Friday was a PERFECT day. I wish I had a picture of Ryan and his family. The girls had fun with the sand and putting their feet in the water. Daniel and Ryan were like little kids themselves dodging waves, and ended up soaked. Thank you Ryan, Kyla and Ashlynn for letting us share this special day with you!

On Sunday, July 27 we celebrated Daniel's 27th birthday. We had a ton of people in our house! We ate bbq and everyone brought yummy side dishes.

Daniel got gift cards, golf balls, and a golf club for his birthday. I think its a putter...I am not sure. Not the golfing kind. Give me a golf cart and a Mike's Hard Lemonade and thats golfing for me. His mom told me that his dad took a lot of care picking out just the right club for him.

Happy Birthday babe! You are such a great husband and father. Abby and I love you so much!

I am looking forward to August. Maybe a little rest......then work! YUCK!
