Calling All Elves

Okay. . .this Friday (11/2) 6:00ish until whenever at The P.P. They're starting the Christmas decorating on Wednesday but there will be lots to do (mainly trees) still on Friday for all of you that thought it sounded like fun. Any questions, let me know!! See you then. :o)

Sad Day

Some of you know my friend Amber Slaughter (Christensen). She has a beautiful little boy, Anderson (Andy) who turned 2 in August and just gave birth last week (three months early) to a new baby boy, Benson. Last night Benson passed away so we are all pretty sad today. Anyway, keep them in your prayers. I can't imagine anything harder than having my baby die in my arms. If you do know her, she doesn't want anybody to call or contact her right now. She said less is more and she just wants space. So just pray for her and her family.

Love That Sippy

Zach does this hilarious voice when he sees something he wants (mainly food) or someone he really likes (mainly Aunt Lizzy). Here's him with a sippy cup and kind of doing that chirpy voice.

More Coast Pictures

Here are some more pictures.

My favorite little Smurf

Me and my kids who were so happy to be having their picture taken with Mom.

Again, so happy to stop for a picture with Mom.

Smiling at Daddy. We always smile for Daddy.

Crabbing

Gimme That Grilled Cheese

Zach is SOOOO ready for some real food! Is he really only 5 1/2 months old?

The Petal Pusher

So most of you know my mom and dad recently bought The Petal Pusher. It's almost time to decorate the store for Christmas. I thought it might be fun to have a blog friend night at the store to "play". A night without kids. A night of early Christmas music. A night to use the espresso machine, make Italian sodas, start decorating the trees and the store. My mom even said you could take home some free Christmas stuff (or flowers or fall stuff) for all of your hard "work". Anyway, just give me a call or drop me an e-mail if you think it sounds like fun.

Family Trip to the Oregon Coast

We just got back from a trip to the Oregon Coast with my parents, Mark and Liz. It was SOOOOOO nice! We stayed in a beautiful house. The weather couldn't have been better. We relaxed. We roasted marshmallows and hot dogs. We enjoyed the beach. We went to the Oregon Coast Aquarium. We went crabbing. It was great. I wish we were still there. Here are some pictures. I have a lot of pictures so I'll probably do several posts over the next few days. :o)

A rare picture of the four of us together!

Zachery and Liz. I think they're related. I finally figured out whose nose Zach has.

Roasting marshmallows in the backyard of the house we stayed at. They had a cool gas firepit.
