Oregon coast

A few weeks ago Justin & I got to enjoy a quick getaway to the Oregon coast to celebrate my dear friend's wedding. Though our trip was short, we had a great time. The wedding was beautiful - and they could not have asked for better weather! Of course, it was awfully cool to those of us used to 90+ degree heat, but it was perfect for a beach wedding.

it was a little windy, but we kept trying to get a picture of the 2 of us!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the view at the beach closest to wear we stayed - just a couple minute walk

The morning of the wedding we explored Seaside. It's an adorable little beach/touristy town. With the nice weather, lots of people came to the beach. Very little swimming, but lots of fun in the sand, kite flying, and dogs playing.

The wedding was lovely. K & I have known each other since we were 5 :) So fun to share in the day.

Beautiful

A lovely weekend escape

4th of July

We had a fun (though rainy) 4th of July weekend. We were so glad to get to see some friends visiting from Texas. Cooper & Will are about 5 months apart - they had a great time.


Getting a picture of this many kids is tricky...


Ryan got a turn helping Ellie Kate walk - it seems that's all she wants to do sometimes!


Isn't Jackson so cute?!


We spent the fourth with Justin's family. Again, getting a picture of kids is not easy...

Elle kept a little ponytail in for the first time that day - hooray!



It ended up being too rainy for fireworks, but we saw a great rainbow on the way back home. It was so bright!


Can you see the second rainbow just to the left? It's fainter, but still there! Will thought it was pretty cool.
