Our last few weeks in photos--yes, PHOTOS!

Yes, we actually got all our millions of photos loaded onto our new computer (although we couldn't get the videos and it took about an eon to do so, hopefully, this won't be my last photo post.  Another project for another time...)  Anyway, below are an assorted mix of images from our lives the past few weeks.  The kids and I leave for the beach tomorrow, so I just might come back with a few more.  I can't wait to see the kids' reactions to the beach as it's their first time there.  My predictions?  Will will say "oh my goodness" and end up burying himself in sand that we will not get off him until he's about twelve.  And Kate will hop up and down in excitement and then precede to describe each and everything in continuous and vivid detail while not stopping for a breath.  I'm just hoping she's not too disappointed as she is convinced that she "will swim in the warm, warm water"--on the Oregon coast?  Probably not unless we bring her a wetsuit!!

Free face painting at the Smith Rock Half Marathon!  Ryan ran a fantastic race in under 1:30, Kate came out painted like a princess and Will found a lizard (which he called a "big, big frog!").  A successful morning, for sure

Will's latest haircut--he looks so much older!

Could it be that summer has finally arrived on the high desert?!  Love swimming/ ice cream play dates with Kate's friends!

Olympic Trials--athletes on their way to London (the fastest way, obviously!)

Women's 1500--these ladies were F.A.S.T.  We also got to see the men's 1500, men's 200 (LOVED the swagger of the sprinters!!), both 400m hurdles, the long jump and javelin.  SO worth the trip!  We feel like we know the athletes now as we sat in the front row and got to high five them all on their victory lap!

Painting with sissy

"Driving" a jeep at the zoo that looked like it went straight into the leopard enclosure

Visiting with the lions with Grandpa Mac

Will got hold of the camera and this is the picture he took!

Kate's lego obsession has resurfaced and she builds quite the creations all by herself.  An architect, maybe?

Mommy and Will with the elephants!
