Nathan's 1st Birthday

For Nathan's Birthday, we had just a few friends and family over for coffee and cake. But the day was soooo beautiful we headed to the park soon after. As you can see from the photos below, fun was had by all and our little Nathan seems to be as fond of cake as his sweet Mama! This was truely a super FUN day!

Oktoberfest '09 (The Highlights)

Oktoberfest '09 took on a new feel this year. With all sorts of new little one's running about, the energy below the knee was impressive! So much fun to share this party with the whole family!

By 8pm however, many had to put there babes to bed. It was up to the rest of us to carry on and of course we gained a few late comers for another round of Brats and Brew.

Good Times!

Pacific City Beach House

Mid September we rented a great beach house in Pacific City with some friends for a fabulous long weekend. This was probably one of the nicest weekends of the year! Lucky Us!!

Labor Day Family Soire

OKAY....I'm playing some serious catch-up here since Labor Day seems so long ago (over a month ago)! Well, we had a great family gathering sharing some fun times outdoors and enjoying a delicous meal together.

A serious game of BOCCE is underway here..

A Day At The Beach

In early August we spent a family day at the coast. Nathan had a blast exploring the beach, Drew got to surf and kite a bit and we all enjoyed a bit of nap before heading into Tillamook for a great BBQ dinner.Right after this photo, Nathan did a 'face plant' as he ventured over this log. Not too happy about it but recovered well as usual.
