Halloween

Geesh... a little late, but better late than never! Originally, Aayla planned on being a pink ghost for Halloween. I spent way too much time making a pink ghost costume and realized (on Halloween morning) that it was very impractical to have a 5 year old walking around with a sheet over her head. Luckily, Fred Meyer came through with one last little girl costume...

A witch and a transformer




Hope everyone had a great Halloween!

Don's Birthday Celebration

As most of you know, Don celebrated his 40th birthday earlier this month. We enjoyed a lovely dinner with a view at Portland City Grill. It was Aayla's first time to a "fancy" restaurant and we were even able to show her where we were married over 7 years ago. It was a wonderful night for a wonderful guy. We LOVE LOVE LOVE you Daddy!!

Flower Power!!

Aayla The Artist

Nap Time!!

As Short As Daddy's!!

Aayla got her hair cut a couple of weeks ago. When I asked her if she wanted to keep it long or cut it short, she said "Cut it short!! As short as Daddy's!" Well, we compromised. It's as short as it's ever been, but not quite "short as Daddy's!".

By the way, she wasn't really into taking pictures. Can you tell?

Silly Sally OB

Our newest family member, OB, is doing very well. He is a funny little guy. He LOVES burrowing in bags, blankets, curtains, you name it! He also LOVES sprawling out and sleeping upside down. He makes my heart smile!

He is fascinated with plastic bags (and crawling into them!).

This is seriously how he sleeps.


What stove?


OB says "Shhh, the crazy bit** is coming! Don't tell her I'm in here!"


Another favorite past time of his is chewing through plastic to eat whatever food lays beneath. We cannot leave anything unattended with OB around... unless you don't mind sharing with him!

Looking for anything edible!


So playful!
