This past week we spent some time on the Oregon Coast with Grammy Bonnie and Papa Dennis. We went camping, played a ton and had a wonderful time with them.
WARNING: There are quite a lot of pictures! Sorry, we were having too much fun to cut it down any smaller.
Making Marshmallow rhubarb cake with Grammy...yes, it was delicious and I ate way more than my share....pretty sure I gained a couple pounds over the course of the week!
Grammy explaining the finer points of being safe around the mixer....too bad she didn't have this convo with me before I had my little incident with the mixer....my poor finger!
Almost there!
Lounging poolside! I love these little chairs! They did too :)
Grammy and the girls! Murph too!
shooting papa before he heads back to work!

Teaching Kelti to use the squirters too!
I love these two sweeties sooo much! Aren't they cute in their surf shirts?
Grammy and Ashlyn in a shoot out!
Kelti acclimating to the water temperature...it was freezing at first!
I was going to do a separate blog about her earring, but I will just tell you know. Ashlyn decided to get her ears pierced on 7/31/11. We had decided to wait until she asked to have it done. That Sunday after I put her hair up and told her how pretty she was she said "I want to get my ears pierced" This pic was taken on 8/2/11 and shortly after she tumbled out of the hammock chair and her earring came out. Sadly we didn't see until her ear had closed up.....so now we are facing paying another $50 to have one ear repierced...seems ridiculous to me! Any tips on cheaper piercings would be appreciated.
