Black Butte 2016!

We did it again!

Family trip to Black Butte Ranch 

We packed in SO much fun throughout the week and made lots of fun memories!

On our way over to Black Butte, we made a stop in Culver so Granny and Poopa could meet Cora.

And so Poopa could give Jack some "pain pills." 

Papa hanging out with the Grandkids

On our way out to hunt for golf balls along the golf course

Having some pool time with Mama!

Grammy getting her Cora snuggles in

We got to go to the fire department and enjoy a little kids event they put on. 

Jack got to put out a "fire!"

Helping Papa make waffles for breakfast 

Hanging out by Paulina Springs and playing in the creek for a while

My boys chewing on some grass

Jack was a natural when we took him for a horseback ride. He looked like an old pro!

Bye bye Black Butte...

 ....Thanks for all the fun!

August

The weeks are flying by.

Between feeding Cora and trying to keep Jack busy and having fun, we go to bed pretty tired and get up not QUITE rested enough. 

But life is FULL.

Here is our latest glimpse into life :)

Cora making use of her bassinet made by Aunt Kathy!

 We got a load of wood chips delivered (on one of the hottest days of the summer, yuck)

Jack didn't want Daddy to have to do all the work, so he made sure to get out there to help spread them in the yard.

 Trying to get in some Mommy and Jack time at Multnomah Days. 

Here we are doing a little arts and crafts together,

 and we made sure to get a little snack time and rest in too!

 Cora had to get an ultrasound of her hip. Her pediatrician thought one of her hips felt loose. Unfortunately, the results were inconclusive and we go back again soon to get another scan.

Jack is such. a. boy.

I do a lot of laundry.

Cora had her first play date with her friend Violet. 

The girls didn't chat much but their mama's sure did!!!
