Christmas Vacation, Oregon 2013

Christmas 2012 ~ Oregon Vacation

Keeping up with a blog is hard. It really is. It takes work and a whole lot of time. Life is busy...
I take pictures everyday. Sometimes many. I can't help myself, I love it. I have so many photos that I truly do not know what to do with them :) 

Here are a few pics from our vacation out to Oregon for Christmas. I love my family! 

FALL 2012 and Halloween!

FALL & Halloween 2012 ~ Raina and Ella trick or treating :) 

Summer BABY!!

Summer was short. And now it is fall... but this pic is just too cute not to add it!

I can't believe how much our little princess in growing!

We had a family photo shoot this summer. Raina decided she would skip her morning nap that day :/

The pics turend out great. Out of the 1,000 shots she took we managed about 40 "good ones"

Raina is 15 months in these photos. I know, I need to get with the program! But who in world has time?!

A day at the Park & Beach!

**Fun Summer days!!!**

"Yeah, I know I'm cute!"

 Little Cousin Hanna!!!

Having a picnic!

Playing on the beach...

"Don't eat the sand, Raina! yucky."

Raina had so much fun today playing with the cousins.
The melt downs started soon after this... so it was time to go home.
Raina took an extra long nap... which was much needed after this busy, fun day!  

EASTER with the COOKS! April 2012

 Easter weekend.
The Cooks flew in Tuesday evening. We had a great time while they were here :) The weather was fabulous!
Ryan took the time off. Bon-fires every night. Great food. And shopping.
Raina got to meet her cousins and Auntie & we got some great pictures!
We had Easter Dinner on Saturday night. They went back to Vegas on Sunday morning.
We love you guys and will miss you!!

 Micheal, Christian, Judy, Raina. What an adorable bunch!!

Great summer weather in April. Pretty sure they brought it from Vegas, because it got cold again when they left.

Bacon wrapped hot dogs roasted over the fire?...


..who knew.

RED WILLOW ~ I great way to send a few hours shopping :)

Auntie!!

 Judy did our toenails ~ Thanks Jude!!

 Homemade bread and buns, yummy!

HAPPY EASTER!!!

APRIL 2012 ~ Raina 13 months

13 Months ~ Raina is walking!
And getting into everything! If she can reach it, its out.
She loves taking things out! Out of the box, out of the drawers, cupboards...
It's so cute to watch her, and worth every minute I have to spend picking it up when she's done with it!

MARCH 2012

One precious little girl is ONE!!!

Raina took her first steps around her 1st Birthday! 

Has 6 teeth and got a molar soon after turning 1.

MARCH 2012

Grandma Cain (Mom) visited for Raina's Birthday.

We had a picnic at the park :)

Raina Turns ONE!!

I cant believe our little baby girl is ONE!

We did have a little Birthday Party.. "cupcake theme"

Grandma Cain even flew from Oregon to be here for her 1st Birthday. Raina's buddy Emma came. And friends were there to help Raina celebrate her special day. Raina had her first cupcake (first sugar) 

She was the life of the party! She cried when it was time to go! Our little party animal...
