Aunt T's Visit

Mr N's sister, or "Aunt T" as the children like to call her, came to visit over Memorial Day weekend.  It was great to see her!  The weather took a turn for the worse, but Aunt T did not mind a bit as it is already quite hot in Texas where she lives.

She & Mr N went fishing on Friday.  No salmon, but they did have fun reeling in some sturgeon.  Aunt T caught a 41" fish!!  Wowzers.

Saturday Mr N, Aunt T & the kids went to Silver Falls (Mrs N had a break).  The falls were lovely and Aunt T enjoyed the greenery.  Aunt T manned the camera, thus there is no photographic evidence that she visited Silver Falls!

"Why yes, I am a G."

"I'm pooped!"

Baby C mugs for the camera.

Monday saw us dragging Aunt T to Lowe's so we could get ceiling fans for all the bedrooms.  Fun!  Don't worry, we also squeezed in trips to Michaels & Craft Warehouse so Aunt T could get some cool beads for her jewelry making!  Come visit us again soon Aunt T!!

Baby, It's Cold Outside

We've got tons of snow here, which is extremely unusual for western Oregon. We're loving it! This weather makes Mr N and me want to move somewhere that gets more snow. We are really over the rain.

Miss E has been having a ball playing outdoors. Yesterday Mr N put the kids in a toboggan and dragged them around. Miss E laughed delightedly the entire time. The funniest part was that Bonesteele had no expression whatsoever on his face the entire time.

Oh The Rain It Has Be-gun

That title goes to a fake song I just made up. Sing it to a sad tune. Repeat until...April. Possibly May. Good old western Oregon. <--Gray. The color of the sky right now.

Bonesteele loves to balance on his stomach and wave his arms and legs around like a crazy kid. I think he has Abs of Steel by now.

And why yes, thanks for asking, he is wearing a Christmas romper. Note: this picture is a couple weeks old, and this romper is already too small for him. So it's a good thing I put him in it while I could!

Miss E thinks it is just the coolest thing ever to wear her parents' stuff around. Here she is in Mr N's cap and shades. Which are now missing, come to think of it...

I realized today that I really need an updated banner. Travis, pretty please? *Mrs N bats her eyes*

Mr N and Miss E Have Fun

Today Mr N took Miss E to a nearby waterfall for some fun!

Day Trip to the Coast

Travis, Jeanie and Jewell were at Cannon Beach a couple of weeks ago, so we drove up for a daytrip. We had lots of fun!

And contrary to photo evidence, Bonesteele came too.
