Camping in Fort Stevens

Our good fiend Adam is blessed to have his birthday during the best time of the year to go camping. Usually the firs part of August is gorgeous weather, this year it was a little rainy at the coast but we didn't let that stop us from having a great time!

There were lots of us there, 5 campsites, lots of children, good drinks, friends, and food!

This was also the first camping trip Natalia could remember and the first one for Alexander! They had the best time and we are already planning the trip for next year. Us Duncan's are planning another weekend to go camping already too!


The kids were just chillin when we first got there and were setting up.

This is what happens when all they have are showers and you don't really want to be setting your kids down on a public shower floor!

Boys will be boys!

Poor Alexander and his tongue, everyone loves to make fun of him and the fact that his tongue is ALWAYS hanging just a bit out of his mouth!

Wilsonville Fountains

Kristen invited us to join her and her friends to play in the Wilsonville fountains a few weeks back when we had the REALLY hot weather. It is a really neat little park for the kids. Nat was a little mad at me when we had to leave, she wanted to stay and play but I really needed new tires on my car, so off to les schwab we went.

Alexander gets a hair cut

Alexander was starting to get the little duck tail curly ques sticking out of the sides and around the ears so I decided it was time for a hair cut. And who better to give him his first hair cut than his papa! Took us a few minutes to decide how we were going to get him set up for the cut, but we figured it out. He looks like such a big boy now!

Mackenzie

Almost everyone knows, my cousin, Becky had her baby girl on the 24th of July! I was lucky enough to go up to the hospital and get to see them both before she was even 24 hours old. And you know me and babies, I had to take lots and lots of pictures. Congrats Tracy, Becky and Austyn!

A tea Party

A few Sunday mornings ago Natalia pulled out this tea set a friend of mine bought her when she was a baby. I have never let her play with it, its just has too much meaning to me, I just have been so afraid she would break it. Now that she is older, she has been dieing to have a tea party. I finally gave in:

She called her Nee Nee and Chelsea and asked them if they would like to come over for a tea party and unfortunately they were not able to make it. She was very broken hearten. Apparently her mother is not good enough to have a tea party with, either that or she just spends everyday with me and wanted someone different at her and Maddie's tea party. She asked if she could call up May May. She of course said YES! Mary is the best sport ever, she loaded herself up in her car and drove the 45 minutes to come have a tea party with her two little nieces! The girls had the best time and Nat was so happy to have her May May here! Now whenever she is talking to people she tells them, "you can come to my house for a tea party!" She cracks us up.

I didn't have a table cloth small enough for the girls' little Ikea table so I pulled out the nicest thng I could think of that would work, a Lois Vuitton scarf my sister gave me! SPOILED little girls!

Good Times at Snyder Park

We are loving going to the water park these days. We bought some sand and water toys and the kids just have a blast. Alexander likes it when he can sit on the side and just put his feet in the water. He is not at all like his sisters are.





above: Sam thought it would be a good idea to crawl in the bottom of their stroller and got stuck, naturally I had to take a picture.
