Christian's Angry Bird Party

Our Christian has never had a friend birthday party.  We decided it was the year to do one.   I have been planning on doing an angry bird birthday party for about a year.   I turned out to be a big success.  Christian had so much fun, he is already planning one for next year.

 

Angry bird balloon game has become one of Christian's favorite games.

I think the balloon game was a hit with all the boys.

 

Angry bird bowling!  I made it a little too hard for the kids. Next time I will fill the bottles only half full.

Tag, You're It!

We came up with a new game called Monster Tag.  People hide and the person who is it goes and find them and throws a ball at them.

 Oh the crazy places, we will choose to hide!

 Hiding in the closet with the blanket covering us!

They are in their stance!  Who will get hit?

First Day of School

Christian started preschool on September 10, 2012.   He has really enjoyed going to school and playing with new friends.

Mount Hood Lakes

On Labor Day, we took a trip to Frog Lake and Trillium Lake

Frog Lake doesn't look like much, but boy did we have fun once we found the frogs!

Be Soft! This kid knows how to get dirty and likes it!

The action unfolds!

I enjoyed the hike around Trillium Lake. Christian and Heather couldn't wait for it to end.

I have never seen trees like this before.

Astoria and Fort Stevens

My parents came the first part of June. We took them to visit Astoria and also Fort Stevens.

Grandpa giving Christian one of his famous bear hugs!

The first thing we did was to take the trolley to see all the historical sites of Astoria

Astoria Bridge - It is the longest continuous truss bridge in North America.

We stopped and visited Fort Stevens. When I told Christian that we were going to visit Fort Stevens, Christian thought we were going to visit his uncles house. It took me a while, to register why he kept saying uncle Steven.

Bridal Veil Falls and Cape Disappointment

Chris' sister and her children came to visit us. Christian loved having his cousins here. We took them to visit the Waterfalls.

Bridal Veil Falls

Cape Disappointment - no Disappointment here! The only disappointment that we had was that we were unable to go to the top of the Lighthouse due to us wearing our flip flops! I wished I knew that it was against coast guard rules.

Fun cousin time at the beach. The only thing that would make the trip better was if Chris could have come with us. He was greatly missed!
