you might be an oregonian if...

on the first sunny week of the spring
you plan a trip to the coast
it's not like there won't be other sunny times
like usually the whole summer
but never underestimate 6 stir crazy moms
& a sunny day

~~~~~~~~~~~
we drove over
to the coast
6 moms
11 kids
on a mission
to forget
to run
to laugh
to play
to explore

we drove over
& talked
& remembered
& smiled
& found out
& thought
& reveled

we drove back
happy
refreshed
ready
for more

i love this picture...
doesn't it just say
come join us
we are cute & ready for anything...


& we were cute
& happily i was ready for anything
namely
my dear little Q
getting absolutely soaked in a tide pool
& once again ending up bottomless
on the beach
(also happened in cali at thanksgiving;)

b & i were talking last night
about mr.Q
& the best way to describe him is
that boy loves life
no worries
no cares
no rules (until i arrive & spoil his fun:)
he just loves everything


miss merra
slept the entire time we were on the actual beach
in the bjorn
that was a blessing on top of a blessing
breastfeeding on the beach
not in my top ten

it was a fun time
we have a great play group
pretty laid back
up for fun

i am quite thankful for it too...
:)
