Sigh, I lied

Since I lied, and did not update the blog yesterday....here is a cute picture of Tate to make up for it. :)

Promise

I promise I will update the blog on Monday. :)

Karen's Birthday

Karen is my best friend's (Brook) Mom. Most of the year she lives in China where she is a teacher. Once or twice a year she comes to Oly to visit her kids. July 28 was her birtday. She had a wine tasting party. And a test. We had 8 kinds of wine to taste, and a piece pf paper with 8 descriptions. We then had to try and pick the right answer for each wine.

Now, I like wine. I consider myself a wine drinker.....I didnt get one right. Yep, I was the only person to get them all wrong. Loser.

Anyway, here are some pics. We had a great time.

Happy Birthday Karen. I hope all your wishes come true.

Mini-moon

We are taking our honeymoon in January. We are going to Costa Rica. But, we wanted to get away for a few days after the wedding. So we headed down to Seaside, OR. Here are a few pics. July 16-19



First things first...the beach!!







Enough sand for now.




I could not beleive it, but Tate LOVED the bumber cars. We had to ride them daily.





I know this is dark, but Tate is holding a star fish.


This is a little better.


This is something else we had to do daily....ride the train.


Off to Canon Beach to look for surf (no such luck). The big rock is Haystack Rock. Look familar? It is from the movie The Goonies. :)





I couldn't resist getting this for Tate.


Chris, tired of no surf, decides he at least will paddle out. I think he got up a couple of times...but it was not good surf waves.



While he surfed, Tate and I played.



Time for FOOD!



This is my new moto.

Party

So, we have been doing a lot with Tate lately and I always take pictures. I am going to try and update the blog every day or so with the events.

Today, we start with AJ's birthday. AJ is a little girl who goes to daycare with Tate. This was a July 26, 2008.

This a Baby Olivia getting ready to hit the pinata. (There are three O/Alivias at daycare. Baby Olivia, Olivia Hunt and Alivia J, aka AJ)



Tate taking a swing at it.


Mason trying his best.


Tate and Olivia Hunt playing.


AJ! Birthday girl with fun teeth.


Presents!!


AJ's farm cake. She loves horses.


Tate was playing outside and came in looking like this. I thought it was a black eye...but it is just dirt. :)
