Oregon Coast

We were able to go to the Oregon coast with Joe's parents in February. We stayed in Depoe Oregon just north of Newport. We had a great time tide pooling, seeing the seals and sea lions, going to the aquarium, the marine science center, the lighthouses, walking around the shops, eating at yummy restaurants and swimming in the pool at the resort. We enjoyed the trip and the kids love spending time with grandma and grandpa Reese. Thanks for taking us.
Talan just stares at the camera half the time you ask him to smile or he wont hold still for you to take a picture of him smiling. Hes just like any other boy busy busy never wants to stop for a picture. Grandpa Reese took all these pictures for us but don't you worry i have been taking lots of pictures now that we have a blog.

Sydney Turns One!

Sydney turned 1 on March 24th. We had a little celebration at our place with both sides of the family. I also made my first birthday cake so i was pretty proud with how it turned out. I can't believe she is already one but still not walking so that is the next milestone we are waiting for :) Here are some pictures from her party.I think Sydney has a tear on her cheek from when i tried to take the cupcake away she was not happy.
Digging in! She loved the cake :) She loves all food actually.

Talan not sure about the birthday hats.

I had to put this picture on so we could see a few of the guests in the background (Tyler, Mary and Brittany). I'm sad we didn't get a picture of all the family that came.
