Multnomah Falls

I don't know how many times we have passed by this waterfall

the past year going to and from my parent's place, but we decided

it was time to stop and take a look! And we sure are glad we did!!

It was such a BEAUTIFUL day and the girls thought it was

pretty COOL!!

Just breath taking!

Big smooch for Papa!

And yes the girls have some WILD hair!!

And of course when you stop to look at the falls you

have to get one of their famous ice cream cones!!

YUMMO!!!

We ventured to the............

Yesterday we went to the Oregon Zoo and it was quite the adventure!

There was absolutely no parking so we rode the MAX!

The girls thought that was pretty cool! Once we finally

got to the zoo, we waited in line for about an hour to just get in!

It was $4 tuesday and tons of people were there!

But it was all worth it, the girls

had a great time and can't wait to go again!

In the wagon at the MAX station!

~Thanks Uncle Caleb~

Caleb spent all of last week with us while my mom and dad

were vacationing in Union, Oregon at girls camp! We had a

blast with Caleb! I think we went to the pool 4 of the 5 days he was

with us! Along with walks to the park, playing sail boat on

the bed, the library, the river, the movies to see Avatar The Last

Air Bender(by the way...the boys, Stu and Caleb said is was lame,

they were very disapointed) and a pizza party with some family friends.

All in all it was a great week, especially because it was so HOT!

Thanks Caleb!! The girls miss you a TON and LOVE you a lot!

Uncle Caleb and the girls!

Silly faces and a thumbs up!

4th of July Weekend

We had a great weekend filled with lots of adventures!

We went to the movies to watch Toy Story 3 and loved it!

Ainzlee seemed to enjoy it, she didn't fall asleep!

Then headed to the Sweet Factory to get a bag of goodies!!

YUM!

What a cute bunch!!

The girls didn't like the LOUD noise!

RaeLynn enjoyed throwing the pop its on the ground!

All of us!

Pop and Grammy with the girls!

Hope everyone had a wonderful

Independence Day!!

Playing at the river

The girls and I headed to the river yesterday to spend

the afternoon with friends! We had such a fun time!

The weather was so nice, but the water was still a little

chilly!! But that didn't stop the girls from having a blast!

Me & my girls!

CHEESE!

Sporting our sunglasses!

Rae was helping her friend Adan float down the river!
