Oregon Fall 2013

We made a last minute quick trip to Ontario to celebrate my Grandpa's 90th birthday!  Who by the way went GOLFING on his birthday!   While we were there he took the grandsons AND great grandsons golfing - how many 90 year old grandpa's can do that?  To be honest, I did not take nearly enough pictures.   There always seemed to be SOOO many people around and I'm just too distracted!


First off though, these two thought they should be driving the rental car.

As soon as we got to Great Grandma's the most important thing to do was go outside of course! 

Charlie and Grandpa wasted no time having a tickling fest. 

He got down after a bit needing a break

But then came right back for more!

At the party, you think these two like each other??? 

We tried to convince them to eat, but weren't very successful! 

They were more interested in playing with Grandma, Grandpa and daddy.   

All they really wanted to do was play outside, and Grandpa and daddy obliged for awhile, but as it got cold and dark, we had to find other things to entertain.  Luckily these random hula hoops did the trick! 

Also staying at Great Grandma and Grandpa's were some fun dogs - you can't see them in the picture because they ran away, but that's why Charlie is under the table.  He just loved watching those little dogs! 

And Adella learned how to give a baby doll a bottle.  So cute - until she dropped the poor thing on it's head!   

That's pretty much it!  I didn't even get any pictures of my Grandparents, but seriously, it was a made house the whole weekend with two parties, lots of visitors and just so much going on!  We sure did enjoy seeing all our family!

Guests

We like to show our guests a good time, mostly with food and their own water bottle - cause you know if they don't have their own, it's gonna get ugly!

Saguaro Ranch

One of the libraries we frequently visit is right next to Saguaro Ranch Park, so since the weather is cooling we headed out to the park after story time with our friend Nora (and of course her mom Laurel who was nice enough to take pictures for me!)

Trying to get all three of them in one shot did not work well! 

They found these fun stairs to climb up, we closed the gate but do you think that stopped them? 

And Charlie got a little scared when the peacock turned around towards him! 

The Smoothie King

This kid LOVES his smoothies!  For awhile we couldn't figure out why he would scream every morning at breakfast, and could not figure out what he was pointing to as there was no food or drink in the general direction.  Finally we figured out he wanted a smoothie!  He DEMANDS one every day now!  He will often choose drinking the smoothie over everything else on his tray (even sugary muffins).  No complaints here!  Little does this kid know he's drinking veggies... Hehehehe.  Oh and don't you dare try to give Adella the blue cup - that one is HIS!

Adventurers

It's no secret that Charlie and Adella LOVE to be outside, but what kid doesn't right?   I love that we have the pool fence up now and they can wander around and be silly!

This little girl loves to collect rocks!  

And then put them in a bucket.   I think she'll grow up to be just like both her grandma's who love to collect sea shells!
