Aayla and I just returned home from a long road trip to visit family and friends up north. I will post details and pictures soon...

All In A Week....

Whew!! We have had quite a busy week. Let's recap...

Owen turned four and we enjoyed his party! Jumping on the trampoline is always a favorite!

We spent the first part of the week at the Oregon coast. We had a great condo right on the boardwalk and beach. We had pretty nice weather and tons of fun!

Dancing in the ocean!


We enjoyed lots of sweet treats, like giant jaw breakers!


Aayla and Grandpa Jensen celebrated their birthday with a Strawberry Shortcake party (number 1) and cake for breakfast!!

We took pictures with the giants at Camp 18.

Back in Portland, Grandma Jensen and Aayla enjoyed playing outside, shopping trips and swim class.

Finally, we finished off the week with a Strawberry Shortcake party (number 2) with friends and family. Aayla is definitely a very lucky little girl!!
