Feeding his Anna some Popsicle and getting bit in the process...

Loving the new playroom that has since been rearranged twice...

Nanna's first birthday!

Enjoying the 4th of July parade

Some lite reading

Digging in and getting dirty.

Ok I promise my next post I'll introduce our new dog!!! I'm so behind on blogging!

Jacks fell asleep on the floor in our room and after I put him in his own bed he slowly slid back down to the floor. I think he's such a goofy kid.

Anna's Hats

Little Anna loves hats and especially likes to put them on herself!

Some moving updates

Since the move we have spent nearly every moment in our yard.

Here is another prime example of Jacks' interesting fashion choices. He's wearing a Bart Simpson T-shirt, green fleece pj pants, and a pair of Shayne's boxers...

We discovered wood floors under our carpets! They were very dirty and could really stand to be refinished, but what a pleasant surprise!!!

Moving really wore the kids out!

Jackson has even been sleeping in his own room quite a bit.

I don't know what I'm gonna do with that kid...

Sometimes Life Sucks

It's 8:30 and it's already turning out to be a hard day. To start off with I didn't sleep very well last night and had to wake up pretty early with Anna and our new dog (I promise I'll update you on that soon). I thought I'd try to get in a work out before the boys woke up, but knew I'd want to eat when I was done so I whipped up a batch of German pancakes (recipe soon!) and put it in the oven. The timer, and everything else digital on this new stove, is broken so I had to set a timer on my phone. I set up for my work out and got started. Anna is currently teething pretty bad so she kept crying and grabbing me and trying to get me to hold her and nurse her, so I kept having to stop and try to comfort her dpi could keep working out. After a while I smelled the pancake and decided to check my timer. My thirty minute DVD was more than half over and the pancake only cooks for twenty minutes. I discovered I had somehow paused the timer and in doing so burnt my pancake.

I sat down to nurse Anna and Jacks got up meaning I needed to figure out breakfast so I whipped up a new batch and stuck it in the oven. While waiting for it to cook I somehow managed to scratch my leg and Jacks stepped in dog poop. After cleaning that up I pulled out my second attempt at what is normally an incredibly easy breakfast that was slightly over done, but still edible. 

Now I'm off to try and eat and feed the kids. I hope the rest of the day improves and that I get to finish my work out!

 

If you can tell where we were from this picture chances are your an Oregonian or have at least visited the southern coast of Oregonat one time or another.

This picture is from later, they were showing off their Prehistoric Garden t-shirts. I love the Prehistoric Gardens!!! I used to go there as a kid. Honestly it's not the sort of place you go out of your way to see, but if you're driving by or are close for some reason you have to stop!

Here is Jackson looking for Dino treasure.

We went through backwards because we are both very rebellious and because we weren't paying attention, but since no one else was there at the time it didn't hurt anything.

Jackson loves teranadons.

At first Jacks was very interested in the stegosaurus, but then he was terrified and ran off yelling "Run run run"!

In case you were wondering dinosaurs wore raincoats. Actually that particular exhibit was under construction.

Where is it?

Oh there it is?

Like Nanna's hair?

Rawr!

Well if you couldn't tell we had an amazing time.

Even after we were done Jacks' map/spyglass kept on entertaining him. I have a feeling we'll be going every year when we go to the reunion.
