Portland Temple visit

This morning we had some time so we drive 20 mins to the Portland Temple. It was beautiful!
So were our pics so i posted a ton! Sorry:)
Ryan was a wonderful "ham" and Beckham wouldnt stop running to take his pic!



My kids have never seen so many different flowers before:)

She kept twirling in her dress that Mimi got for her:)

This was a tantrum
My handsome husband




Heres a really funny running sequence of Becks- check it out


He was totally bookin' it

I loved the peaceful feeling there- great way to start our morning

Oregon Coast

Woke up from a nap to find himself at the beach... probably a little shell shocked.
I was told this was Cannon Beach.. i think its also the "Goonies" beach... correct me if i'm wrong though:)


This is Ryan in the "zone" :)



Cheese Factory anyone?! we didnt take the tour but we will another day

Bread Making

When we were growing up my mom would have us help her make whole wheat bread. She would have us pat it and make our own little bread loafs... then with the extra we would throw on some cinnamon and sugar and make cinnamon rolls... all the while we usually had some fun music playing in the background.

Until recently i was overwhelmed with the entire process... it all started when we were in San Diego last month and we came across this awesome thrift shop.. and inside we found a Bosch Universal mixer... barely touched for $30.. regularly $400.. My mom saw it and immediately got it for me...


So that leads us to today.. Today was a take-2 phase of the Bread Making lesson in my life with my Mom, and I totally LOVED IT again! Especially with the Bosch- I could make 5 loafs of bread at once instead of 1...

Ryan wanted to join in on the fun as well:) She was my good little helper.


Rolling up the Cinnamon Rolls.

and cutting them with the string.



Ok so my loaves were a little uneven but they tasted amaizing and smelled so good.

In Case You Didnt Know....

In case you didn't know we are expecting our 3rd little festus !!! October 5th ish.. which happens to be my moms birthday. funny huh! we are really excited and so are the kids. I am only 12 weeks along but I am getting big fast. I'm at that great point where no clothes fit me.. my regular ones or maternity yet..so its pretty fun. So 99% of the people i have asked say #3 will kill you... 1 person said her #3 was super super easy...! please give me some hope out there:) or advice for #3.

Beck-man

Beckham is 2! I cant believe it and he is finally happy... the entire last year and a half has been some what of a nightmare trying to figure out all of his allergies.. He was mad all of the time and obviously didnt feel well.. Now that we know he cannot have eggs, dairy, or soy....he has returned to us! :)So here's some happy pics of the new and improved Beckham!
They wouldn't smile until Adam threw a snow ball at them!
After snow-manning
My sis in law sent him some fun clothes and in it was a turtle Halloween costume... He will not take the hat off! hahah So he runs around the house in his "special" hat:)




Becks follows Ryan all around the house copying her and adoring her.... They are such a joy in my life:)
