Spontaneous babymoons, babies and summer fun

Kyle and I have been wanting one last babymoon before #3 arrives (our last night away together was right before Maddie was born two years ago, wow!), and Memorial Day weekend provided JUST the right opportunity. Gorgeous weather at the beach, a wonderful Nana available to watch M & M, and a last minute opening at the Stephanie Inn. Perfection! So nice, we loved every second.









Over a recent weekend in June, we drove over 600 glorious miles to visit the babies in the family. First stop was our precious new baby nephew Owen (proud new parents are my sister Jessica and husband Geoff). He is adorable, therefore I ADORE HIM!! My first experience being a flesh & blood auntie! (Although I must insert a shout-out to all my other ridiculously cute neices & nephews whom I also adore.)



Also that weekend, we attempted to also attend the dedication of our sweet neice Annalise (proud parents Kyle's brother John and wife Stephanie, and big brother Joshua) but alas we ran out of time with too many miles on the road! So we missed the dedication at their church unfortunately, but we were able to celebrate with the family at their house afterwards for a little dessert & baby snuggling.



Now on to other fun summer activities... Kyle took Madeline fishing (yes the younger one) alone for the first time! He figured it was about time he started having some special 1-on-1 time with both girls, they are both old enough now! So off they went to Hornings Hideout in North Plains, and had a hoot.

Whew! It was a hot one there for a couple weeks, in the high 80's which for Portland in May/June is NOT NORMAL. Awesome, but not normal. So the girls soaked up the sun in the backyard kiddie pools.

And last but not least, our youngest playing in the toolbox... Making Daddy proud!
