Making Memories

We took our first family vacation to Seaside Oregon this past week.  We were able to spend three glorious days there.  I grew up going to Seaside for vacation, so I was super excited to share it with my family. We walked along the beach which was cold and windy. We couldn't spend too much time by the water G did not like the wind.  G was such a trooper.  She slept through most of the trip as she was hauled from place to place.  She is just a perfect little angel.

We stayed at the beautiful Seaside Resort, which you see here in the picture.  D's parents have a timeshare there and they were so kind in sharing their points with us.  Grandma also came with us. It was nice to have a babysitter on hand.  D and I were able to have a nice dinner together. We ate at the same restaurant we ate at four years ago on our honeymoon.  We honeymooned in Cannon Beach, which is ten miles away from Seaside.

We also walked along the board walk and took a ride a the Carousel . T spotted this awesome Thomas the Train set that he had to play with. 

It was a fun three days.  We hope to go back soon.  Maybe we can make Seaside an annual vacation spot for our family...we'll see. 

First Haircut

I finally gave in and T got his first haircut.  T wasn't born with much hair.  He didn't start growing hair until around 12 months.  His hair is still really thin and light.  D kept on bugging me that we needed to cut his fly-a-ways, but I was scared. I didn't want him to go back to the bald look.  I thought if we cut his hair it would make him look like he had no hair again.  But my brother and D were giving my a hard time when T's hair was flying around in the wind the other day.  So I decided it was time.  Surprisingly, I doesn't look much different.  He still looks as cute as ever just with no long rat tail in the back.  He was so cute when we cut it, no squirming or crying just stood there naked, we pulled him about of the bath to do it. Of course I took pictures and video and saved the hair for his baby book as every proud Mommy does.

Happy Easter

We had a lovely Easter weekend filled with egg hunts, candy and words from our leaders.  We spent Saturday with cousin Hadley and the Brawners.  We got some good group shots of the little ones.

 

Like she usually does G spit up right before we took pictures.  It landed all over her and Mommy.

T did good with the Egg Hunting.  But he didn't understand that he could stock up eggs in his basket and collect more.  He would pick up one in each hand and then see another and try to figure out how to pick it up with full hands. He made off with some great goodies and was happy to share them with Mom and Dad.

 

The rest of the weekend we snuggled up in our blankies and watched Conference.  We swaddled T during one of the conference session to see if it would calm him down like it use to.  He actually really enjoyed, I thought he might actually fall asleep.  We probably laid there for a good five minutes.

 We had a very Happy Easter and hope you did also!
