There is no friend like a sister, and no sister quite like you.

Thanks for coming and visiting us Randy and Emily. My kids adore you (mostly Randy, sorry Em)

For Kapri's Birthday we spent the day at Oaks Park. Lynzie and Ledger met us there.

 The next day we went into Portland and did VooDoo Doughnuts and OMSI

Yum!

Over the weekend we went to Tillamook. We checked out the Cheese factory

 Went to Oceanside Beach. It was freezing, but the kids didn't care.

They both jumped into the ocean before I could stop them. 

 After Oceanside we stopped at Cape Meares lighthouse.

 After Cape Meares, we headed to Munson Creek Falls.

It was a short little hike that the kids could do. And it's always nice when there is a pretty waterfall at the end of it.

We pretty much did every touristy thing possible while she was here. 

Completely exhausting and perfect!

Under the St. Johns Bridge

We decided for Mothers Day, It would be nice for the Grandma's to have updated pictures of the kids.

Our church was under renovation, so we were meeting in St. Johns.

I have always wanted to do some pictures under the bridge. It is my favorite bridge in town. It was the perfect opportunity before church.

I think as a photographer it really tests your skills to take pictures of your own kids.  They aren't super impressed with you, because they deal with you everyday. Let's just say that we weren't super excited to go to church after this adventure, but I did get some cute ones!

Quick Utah Trip

We headed to Utah for my Grandpa Morgan's funeral. They had a really nice service for him,

and being able to spend some time with the family was just what we needed.

Our Utah trip was mostly documented by instagram.

I did get my DSLR out to snag some photo's of the kids playing in the pool.
