Oregon Coast- The Beach

Brad and I thought it was time for our family to visit the Oregon Coast. Its been three years since our family has played on the beach. And it was just time to do it again. So we set off for it during spring break. We rented a nice little beach house that was small but fit our needs (ie; washer and dryer, stove, fridge, microwave, beds, TV) Jaeger and Lucy

Savanah liked to play in this little river that ran into the ocean. I wasn't as scary for her.
Look what we watched wash upon the shore. We could see it bobbing up and down out in the surf and eventually it drifted ashore. What a lucky find. I wouldn't let them bring it home so we took a picture and let someone else do the honors having it as their beach find.

I had mixed emotions at the beach. Watching my kids out in the water was sort of scary for me. I often found my self screaming a horrible terrified scream for my children to come back or RUN! Brad captured this moment of me doing just that.

Bradley "surfing" Twin Rock is just behind him.
Our beach house is directly up the street from it.
Luke. This picture has a funny story. Luke was playing in the river that ran into the ocean. He was wearing sweats and got them all wet and they started to fall down. He took them off swung them above his head three or four times and flung them out along the beach. And ran around in his underwear. It was cold. It never was really sunny for us. As you will notice through the pictures. Anyway, People were watching us play on the beach from their car in the parking lot. Watching my three in half year old run about in his underwear in the cold weather. When we came back up the car. Which had been a while. They said to me "All we can think of is that maybe you guys are from Alaska, because it is really cold. We can't believe a little one like him would run around in this underwear on such a cold day."

This picture of Lucy cracks me up.
Brad must of took a picture of her just as she started to run.

Does everyone not do this when they go to the beach??

Lucy soaked from shoulder to toes. Shoes and all.
We saw the Coast Guard practicing. This was supper cool and thought of Bro. Durschi.


This is my favorite shoot of my boys running together from the ocean.
More pictures to come I just wanted to post these few for now. We all had so much fun. After a few days being home. Luke asked if we could go to the beach.

Cheeze Touch

For those of you who haven't seen the Diary of a Wimpy Kid Movie. Cheeze Touch is from that movie. I'm still not sure what it is. Although all during vacation and at weird moments during the day I'm constantly getting touched on the shoulder by my boys with a "Cheeze Touch".
We have added some new ones.
It's kind of like tag-your-it. Some of the new ones we've come up with are...
Whisker Burn Touch & Beach Bite & Deer Touch
Its so funny when Brad, Owen and Jaeger are all standing by each other. It can get dangerous. Last week we were on vacation. This is all we did...at dinner, walking, in the car, waiting in line, eating ice cream, looking at planes. Yeah, I'm telling ya. I'm ready to creative the MOM BITE. hum that's not a bad idea.

Happy Easter!

I hope you all had a fabulous Easter!
How do you like to watch movies?
In a coffee table bunker with train table over you legs?
awhhh that's relaxation.

What a better way to kick off spring break with a boys night out. Dinner specially prepared by the wonderful, Aimee who braved to have five starved boys who as it looks from the above picture totally messed up her living room.

Our Easter tradition is to color Easter eggs, then go to a local park and roll em down a very steep hill and watch them break to oblivion.

side note. Nothing to do with Easter. I just had to go buy this kid pants, again. He keeps growing. shoe size 7.5 size 14 pants.
