Previously, on Dexter

(Oops! I mean Life as I know it! I think I've been watching too much Dexter!)

While you are reading this post, I am headed to the Oregon Coast to spend a few days relaxing in the water, playing in the sand and then heading to the zoo with my family! 

For me, nothing says vacation like the ocean. And I don't get here often enough, but it's probably one of my favorite places ever.

This week I have 3 great bloggers who will be sharing some of their life with you, and I hope that you'll give them a big welcome and show them some love! I can't wait for you to see what they have in store!

But first, a little bit about our last week or two. We've been busy working on our bucket list and while a lot of things will get crossed off during vacation, last week we got a lot done too!

Get ready for a picture overload!

First, I did The Dirty Dash. It was so much fun and I laughed a lot. I got my share of bruises and aches but I can't wait to do it again next year! I'm hoping that I can get Travis to go along with me next time!

 We've spent a lot of time at Grandma and Papa's playing with cousins

Eating watermelon and way too much other food! 

Playing in the sprinkler and having water balloon fights

And cuddling sweet babies. 

 We lounged at the lake with friends, laid in the sun

shoveled in the sand

hung out on the paddle boat and had root beer floats

We woke up at 3 am and crashed hard in the car after some more play time at Grandma and Papa's
And took the extra long way home to ensure a good nap!

We played outside more hours than Tyler can count 

And helped Daddy mow the grass

We played at the park

Walked around the flower garden

And hung out at the water fountain

Tyler got his first two wheeler

And we hung out in the grass while we took turns helping him ride it

We spent a day at Silverwood theme park- and got lots of sun

We spent time in the shade while we munched on some snacks

 We rode lots of rides

And we cuddled the baby some more

We spent time at the pool swimming with friends

 And we had Travis' work cruise where we got to spend time with friends and eat yummy food!

It's been a great couple of weeks and I can't wait to share our trip with you! In the mean time, enjoy my guest bloggers over the next few days!
