A beautiful day on Lummi Island

Jen's boyfriend Steve has a family cabin on Lummi Island and we were more than excited to go pay a visit on a recent warm Sunday afternoon. Jen and Steve had Nick and I, mom and dad, and grandma up for a BBQ. We had never been to Lummi before so we were'nt sure what to expect.

He had a great place with an amazing view and only steps from the beach. We had a fun filled day walking on the beach, exploring the island, gorging ourselves on yummy food, eagle watching and just having fun! The eagle watching was pretty fascinating...after watching an eagle preen himself for a good half our right above our heads, he was attacked by a crow! We got to see quite the bird duel!!

Exciting News!!

Well, I should have posted at the end of the last blog about Oregon about this but I thought it deserved its own post :) We are pregnant! We found out the last day we were in Oregon but of course kept it quiet for awhile due to previous complications. We also received another shock when our first ultrasound at what we thought was 10 weeks actually turned out to be 14! So we were an entire month ahead of schedule!

We are due November 18th and we will be having our 20 week ultrasound here soon to find out the sex. And yes, we will be finding out :) I will hopefully get some pics up of our little gummy bear when we find out (BTW post people are saying boy...what do you think??)

YAY!!

A fun-filled trip to Oregon

For Nick's birthday this year I purchased tickets to a Trailblazers/Thunder game in Portland. I knew that he would be excited because one of his favorite players was coming into town (Kevin Durant) and he hadnt been to a game in quite some time. We decided to make a real trip out of it so we decided to go to the game, spend some time in Portland, then head to Tillamook and Cannon Beach.

We had an excellent time at the game. I was super excited because not more than 50 yards in front of us sat Dan Akroyd who is one of my favorite actors. He was sitting right next to Paul Allen so it really made my night! After that we wandered around Portland, visiting the infamous Voodoo Doughnuts and seeing the spectacular Oregon Zoo. Wow were we impressed with that place! It was so much fun!

After we left Portland we made our way to Tillamook where we toured the cheese factory. We took some yummy treats with us for our trip up to Cannon Beach. When we arrived we were stunned at the resort we stayed at. It was so beautiful. Unfortunately it poured the entire time we were there but we managed to get out for the hour it didnt to snap a few pics.

We had a great trip and will definitely be visiting Oregon again soon! Here are just a few of the many pics we took.
