Oregon Coast Vacation

Here are some shots from our Oregon Coast vacation. If you'd like to see the rest of our trip, go read all about it on my family blog.

Drew is NINE!

 

Drew is OBSESSED with macarons, so I hired a local baker to make him some, along with a small birthday cake. He was very surprised

I don't think his smile could get any bigger.

Happy birthday, Drew!!!

Super awesome birthday macarons! And they're PURPLE!!!

Not only were they adorable, but they were super delicious! We had vanilla, chocolate, lemon, s'mores, and coffee flavored ones. Yum! If you're looking for some quality treats, go check out Mama's Best Bakery in Twin Falls. She's the best!

What a goof! His cake was a purple and orange red velvet cake. It was easily one of the best red velvet cakes I've ever had!

Probably the fanciest card I've ever made. It's always nice to see your efforts appreciated.

Among his gifts, he was given his very own Bible, complete with a spiffy cover, book tabs, and his name printed on the front. I could tell he was trying his best not to cry. Sweet boy.

Rob Is TEN!

Happy birthday, Rob!

Blow out your candles!

Man, they're tough to blow out!

Hey! Something's off about these candles!

They're TRICK CANDLES!!!

Drew's Spring Piano Recital

The master pianist himself. He worked hard, practiced every day, and rocked his recital pieces. So proud of him!

Drew with his amazing piano teacher, Miss Melissa Kunkel. She is the best!

What a nut! XD

Happy Easter!

We haven't had an updated family photo in SIX YEARS. SIX. For shame! =) Happy Easter from our family to yours!

Drew is EIGHT!

I can't believe this kid is EIGHT! Happy birthday, Drewser!

Matt's Headshots

Did headshots for Matt today. He's trying for a spot as an extra in a local independent film. Wish him luck!

Edit: He didn't get chosen, but I still love these photos of him. *SWOON*

Halloween

We celebrate a little early, opting for a daytime event downtown instead of door-to-door. Then the boys get to enjoy handing out candy to other kids on Halloween night!

I Love Autumn!

It's my absolute favorite time of year. Such beautiful colors!

First Day of School

It's the most wonderful time of the year! No, not Christmas. THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!! WOOT!!! =D
Okay, okay. I love my guys. I do! But it's been a crazy, busy summer and I'm a little...spent. Hanging out with them 24/7 does that to me. We had a great summer, but it's just time, you know? Here's to a great year! 2nd and 4th grades -- WOW!!
These two. They crack me up!
