Happy Father's Day!

I just wanted to put a quick post up and wish all the dads a Happy Father's day! Now I get to brag about my hubby ;)

Eric is an amazing husband! He has been my rock and my best friend. He has been a great father to Rohbi and gave me a beautiful son. He has such a strong testimony and has really been a strength to me. I'm grateful to have someone who is so strong in his beliefs, in my life. We have had a few ups and downs but it has only made our marriage that much stronger. I love him so much and am truly lucky to have someone like him in my life! Happy Father's day babe!

Fishin', T-ball, and Golf...

I've been stressing about how I could keep Rohbi busy this summer. She gets bored really quickly and now that school is out, she doesn't have all her school mates to play with every day. I signed her up for t-ball and she has enjoyed it a lot! She had her first game last night and she did really well! Last Saturday was free fishing day at the Grace fish hatchery so we went there and had some fun. Her Grandma Jean also talked to me about signing her up for golf lessons so we have been going down every Wednesday. I have also signed her up for swim lessons. Hopefully she will be kept busy enough that she won't complain too much about being bored. That kid hates being away from the social part of school. It's driving her crazy!!!





She lost interest really quickly while we were there. She wanted to play with the other kids there. She also wasn't too thrilled about touching the fish. Every time the fish would move, she would squeal and move away. She and Eric ended up catching 6 fish but they let all of them go. I think if we would have caught a big one, we would have kept it...

These were taken on my on my phone so they aren't' very clear.

She was excited about going until she got there and realized that she really didn't know how to golf and she got really frustrated with it real quick. They also had the first lesson inside the clubhouse because it was cold and rainy and Rohbi didn't think that was right. You're supposed to be golfing outside and she let us know that loud and clear. After the first lesson, she was ready to quit but we have talked her into staying in till the end.

Oregon Coast/Girls Weekend 2009 (cont...)

Continued....

The Inn At Spanish Head...the hotel we stayed in that opened up right to the beach. We were on the 1st floor



I think these pictures say it all. Nice relaxing moments on the beach.

Settling in for the night

Rohbi wanted me to get a picture of a crab while I was there and the only live crab we found was this little tiny one :)

I didn't realize that starfish were actually a different color than just the white ones you see.

These little green things were kinda weird. They closed up when you touch them.

There was a restaurant called "Lil Sambo's" and my daughter loves the story about Little Black Sambo. My mom, Rohbi and I were all pretty excited about this one :)

There was also a road called Bates Rd and I was going to go get a picture of that too but I was too tired.

On the way to Silver Falls



Silver Falls...so pretty and the smells were amazing! Words don't even do it justice!!!

There was a trail that you could follow and it wound all the way underneath and back up again.

Erosion chimneys

Oregon Coast/Girls Weekend 2009!

I know a few of you have already seen these pictures on Facebook but bear with me because there are others who haven't seen them. I'm not going to give you a big long schpeel on what we did but I will give you the basics of our trip! We had an amazing time and it was so beautiful up there!!! We flew into Portland where we met up with Jayne Ann. Saturday, we headed to Tillamook and spent some time at the cheese factory and then over to Cape Meares to see the lighthouse. After that, we headed to Lincoln City, where we got a hotel room that opened up right onto the beach. Sunday, we did a little shopping then headed back to Salem where we headed up to Silverton and went to see Silver Falls. We had a ton of fun along the way! Lots of laughs, memories, and fun!


This is so weird! This is giant asparagus!!! I guess it is supposed to be decorative because it was in a flower garden.

On the way over to Cape Meares



Giant slug!!!!! So disgusting!

Kinda looks like a scene from Twilight doesn't it? It seemed like that all weekend :)

Cape Meares...on the way up to the "Octopus Tree"

The Octopus Tree (Sitka Spruce)

These next pictures don't give the actual scenery justice! It was so pretty and green up there!
