camera happy

All of the following pictures were taken by little miss Rae. Most of the pictures she takes are of her own feet, furniture around the house or leaves on the front door step, but I have to give her credit because she has taken a few really good ones. 

After Raegan took this picture of Spencer she told him to check his blog! haha!

First day

Today was Raegans first day of  preschool. It kind of breaks my heart just a little bit. Its mostly fun and exciting because she is so excited, but on the other hand there is something in my heart that doesn't want to believe my baby girl is old enough to do this.

Raegan ALWAYS wants to do a "silly" picture, and of course I wouldn't deny her that:)

 I sat her at her desk and the first thing she did was look over to the girl next to her and say "Hi friend whats your name?" Precious.

Almost there!

Oh little Jane. 

You are so close to walking. 

And that oven mitt you insist on wearing really doesn't help speed things up. 

Come on baby girl you can do this!!

Lavender Farm

So lovely...

Loves for mama, lucky me:)

Lately Jane smiles like a pirate for the camera. Arrrrrrr...

Our buds Clark and Kjerstin. These guys are always down for doing anything fun with us and we LOVE it!

Seriously Oregon is so gorgeous. I love that we can be down town in 5 min. shopping and eating out, and then driving across beautiful country farm land in 10-15min. Its amazing. 

Philbrook Farm

This is my favorite place to take the girls in the summer time. There's nothing like spending the morning picking berries, while the girls make "mud soup" and fill up on Razz berries and blueberries for snacks. Oregon is SO beautiful.

A ride around town

We got to spend an afternoon with Seth's brother Brigham, his wife Shelby and their adorable kids Calhoun and Hannah. We decided to take a ride along the river front in style. The kids had a blast sitting up front & waving at everyone as we rode by. And of course we had to stop for Chipotle and ice cream along the way. It was awesome and delicious. I really do wish we lived closer to family:( Maybe one of these days!

The clouds parted & gave us CALI!

It was around February or March that Marissa and I sat on her couch, looked out side to the cold, grey, rainy day and started scheming a trip. It had to be somewhere sunny and no too much mula...CALIFORNIA! Three months later we said goodbye to our studious husbands and away we went. We stayed at Seth's Aunt Carolyns beach house in San Juan Capistrano. Seth and I had our honeymoon there (almost 6yrs. ago! crazy!) and last year we got to bring our girls and stay a week there. Its the greatest place ever. There is something so therapeutic about hearing the waves crash, smelling the ocean air and feeling the hot sand on your feet. Ahhhh. amazing...

I even got to see my old Hawaii friend Shira and her newest little one Brekyn! Jane was so into Brekyn, it was really cute.

The babies

Perfect afternoon for a walk around the temple

Marissa and her cute kiddos Spencer and Nellie

Jane looks like such a big girl here!

I love my baby girls

I could kiss on those cheeks alllllllllll day.

After Cali we headed to Utah for my little sisters wedding (who was the most stunning bride ever)!!! More on that part of the trip later...
