Eight years ago we were skinnier, younger, childless, and happy. Today we are a bit plumper, getting older every day, parents to two beautiful girls, and HAPPIER THAN EVER BEFORE! I love you, Travis! Happy Anniversary!

OREGON!
We headed to Oregon on June 9th. We traveled up to Boise and spent the night. Trav had to work until midnight so, he and Keith came up after he worked and got there at about 5 AM. They slept for a few hours until we hit the road again headed for Portland, then slept in the car on the way. We stopped at a fish hatchery and Multnoma Falls on the way to Portland. 
Before we left Portland, we had donuts from Voo Doo Donuts. They were delicious! Trav had a maple bar with bacon, and I had an apple fritter - Addison even had one, she chose a chocolate one with sprinkles. We then headed to Tillamook Cheese Factory and had yummy food followed by even better ice cream on REAL waffle cones! Yeah! I was too hungry to take pictures whil we were there though!
Once we got to our Worldmark in Depoe Bay, we found a beach and Trav and Addi played in the sand. Hailey was all smiles!
The next few days were filled with beautiful adventures up and down the Oregon coast.
Addi and Gage were best buds on this trip, and hugged and held hands most of the time.
Addison loved the aquarium. She took me to every square inch of that building and told me all about what she saw in the tanks. She even touched an anemone! Trav and Hailey were less than excited to be there but put on a smile anyway.
After the aquarium, we headed to the world famous Mo's for lunch. Trav had a crab melt with clam chowder, and was in heaven. I stuck with something a little less fishy and had chili in a bread bowl.
The next day we woke up bright and early and headed to Neptune beach to see all of the neat things in the tide pools. It was lots of fun. Unfortunately, the tides were as low as they were forecasted to be, so we had to hike a bit to see cool stuff. Trav took off, like usual. I was determined to catch up with him and did well until I fell on one of the slippery rocks and tore up my leg. Luckily though, I saved Hailey and my camera from getting hurt. Addison loved seeing the sea stars...so did I!
This is my favorite picture from the whole trip...I love these three people!!!
Do you see the rainbow?
Devil's Churn - Trav was brave and went down to the waves, luckily he didn't get too wet!
Heceta Head light house (the tiny version)
Silly Hailey
Cannon Beach (the beach from The Goonies)
I didn't get a picture of all of our fun. I missed shots of kite flying, swimming, sand duning, and lots more. We had an absolute blast! Thanks to the Gines family, specifically Keith and Jo, for making it so much fun!

Hailey at Eight Months
I can't believe that this sweet baby is 8 months old already! Our lives wouldn't be the same without her, and it's just crazy for me to think that she's already been around for so long!
Hailey learned how to scream last week. She does either happy screams or mad screams..either way, it's loud! She's been sick and grumpy..I'm hoping the grumpiness will go away because at 8 months, her big sis, Addi turned into a monster baby, and I'm hoping Hailey doesn't do the same. Hailey doesn't sleep or eat as well as her sister did at this age. She goes to bed about 8:30 or 9:00, is up at around 1 AM to eat, and then again at 4:30 AM or so, and sometimes she is up again at 6 AM to talk and play. Usually I just put her in my bed at 6, and she'll go back to sleep after awile. I tried to be "a good mom", and make my own baby food. Hailey didn't love eating it. I went and bought some store bought food, and she's done better, but she's still not a great eater. Who am I kidding though, she's never been easy to feed. Why did I think solids would be easier? She does love the Gerber puffs, and eats them up as soon as they are put in front of her, and screams for more when they are gone.
Hailey's tongue is always moving. She always sticks it out when she smiles. It's pretty cute!
Hailey is now a speed crawler, and pulls herself up to standing, on whatever she can. Travis walked at 8 months..I'm hoping Hay will wait for a little while!
Hailey is our favorite little lady, even when she's screaming and grumpy! We love watching her grow and get bigger! Addi can't wait until Hailey is bigger to "pway" with her, and always loves to hold her and just recently has wanted to help feed her too. We absolutely love "Hay Hay"!

On The Move
Hailey started crawling today! My life just got crazier!! She started out slowly this morning, and she's just gotten better as the day progressed. She's a little poser in this picture. She's such a happy, sweet little thing!
Addison likes to take pictures with my camera. She took this one of her daddy. He just keeps getting thinner and thinner. He works out on our incline treadmill while playing video games. I think he's down to about 205 lbs now...Way to Go, Trav!
We are officially seven days away from our vacation...and seeing Daddy for TEN whole days! I made a paper chain count down for Addi today. We're excited!!
