READ ALL ABOUT IT!

First of all I have to apologize for being such a lousy blogger.
Secondly, today I was cleaning out a cupboard for my mom and I came across this newspaper, The Phoenix Gazette. It was dates July 14, 1966. This was my mom when she was about six. Cute girl!

Yamhill, Oregon

We are back! This past week and a half we went to Nate's hometown of Yamhill, Oregon. We had the best time! Here is a picture of Nate's high school. I post it because it's the most beautiful school I have ever seen.


The first few days were spent in a beach house on the coast. We could not have asked for a better time. The weather was perfect and so was the company.
Ari wears this vest all the time. It is size 3-6 months. She wears it to sleep in, over her swimsuit, over everything basically.










This is at the park. We cant seem to get rid of Ari's pacifier. We are hoping she'll break the habit before college.



Ari loves her cousin Liv! While we were at Nate's aunt and uncles the girls had help themselves to some carrots and ranch. They were messier than the picture shows.


One day we went into Salem to ride the carousel. Naturally, the girls had the best time.

The first time they rode Ari wanted to ride the baby horse. It was the ONLY horse that didn't go up and down on the carousel and it was half the size of all the others. She was so excited. Funny girl.
It always amazes me how green Oregon is. Especially coming from Phoenix.
We also went to the Omnimax. We had a fabulous time. The museum just happened to have a dinosaur exhibit, so we were able to see a couple dinosaurs.

One of Ari's favorite things we did was ride horses. A family in Nate's homeward were so nice to let the girls ride their horses. Ari and Devy were in heaven.



Here Mindy is trying to catch a fish for Ari. Ari loves Mindy!

We had such a wonderful week. Thanks to everyone who made it happen.
