Summer is (finally) here!

We are all doing the happy dance.

Anna's 2nd birthday at the zoo!

The happy birthday girl!

 Peyton and Anna

Zebra! (Anna shouted loud and clear!)

Lots and lots of walking at the zoo. Taking a break on Daddy's shoulders.

Anna turns two

Our little Wonder Woman is two!

4th of July

Kids in the annual Corvallis 4th of July parade. Anna sporting her Wonder Woman costume, Cole rocking it on his bike.

 

Friends and fireworks! Anna was a good sport, but she really didn't like the fireworks too much. She kept asking to go inside, but then didn't want to miss out on the action, so she resorted to covering her ears. Good thing she had Peyton there to keep her company.







Cole, on the other hand, was all about the fireworks this year. Love this photo of him with his buddy Justin. Two peas in a pod!

Mondays with Grandma

Both kids are spending Mondays with my mom this summer since Cole doesn't have school. This week they headed to the coast, with a stop at my cousin Nancy's house (farm?) in Eddyville. What a treat! From my mom - "They both had such different ways to approach the ocean....Cole was thrilled to get wet and throw sand into the waves. Anna was cautious and ready to run when the water started to come toward her. But Anna was an Ace at filling the buckets!"

There were many cute photos .... here are two of my favorites.
