4th Annual Friends Beach Trip...

We will make a million memories with our little Nelson family of four, but I know some of my girls' fondest memories will be trips taken with friends. We just got home from our 4th annual trip to Long Beach with our dear friends. The playing and relaxing were both top notch, but it is always a time to look back and recall the girls from years past. As a new little one reaches milestones we are constantly saying "remember when"... our little girls are growing up (too fast if you ask me).


This year we spent day one in Astoria and day two was beach play time.


(Lots of pictures to come... they are too cute)

Little Buckaroos

There she is :) Over the next few years we'll be remembering her first walks on the beach






Happy Father's Day to the Best Daddy in the World!

Seriously, could they be any cuter!

Harvest Has Begun...

Yeah!!!

I know it's not much... and I am having to compete with a strawberry stealing magpie. I love gardening!

Today I am inspired by a quote I ran across on another blog... "Bloom where you are planted". That is my mantra for the summer. There are so so many daily blessings present in our lives, its just a matter of seizing opportunities for joy. Enjoy every moment... even when the magpies are stalking your precious berries.

Mom: Kyndra can you please help me clean up for Bunko tonight?

Kyndra: Oh yes, can I please, please, please clean the toilets?

Mom: Um, sure.


Life's little pleasures???
