Opening of Roos Field

Colby was super excited to get to go to EWU's opening football game.  It was a special game as they were dedicating their new red turf field.  Elle and I tagged along for the tailgate and then headed back to Nick and Deidra's for some play time and naps. 

On the drive over we had to stop to change a stinky bum and put on pajamas.  It was a great place for a picture as well!



Checking out the new field!

Elle was totally into the band as it was practicing off in the distance.

First play of the game on the new field.

The morning after...

Marcus and Elle was super tired from playing with every toy Marcus owned!  Notice there are no pictures of Colby or Nick :)

Pacific City

May was a jam packed month for us!  We had double plans every weekend!  The weekend of May 22nd was no different! Elle and I headed to Rainier, where I grew up, for a baby shower for a very close family friend.  Colby had the camera as he was going to meet us at the shower so we could continue on our way to the Oregon Coast for vacation.  I kicked myself when I realized we didn't have any pictures of Megan's shower.  The trip from Rainier to the coast was very quick as we were traveling in the evening.

We headed to the beach the very next morning for some tide pool watching.

 

I think Elle liked the view from Daddy's shoulders.

We joined Nick, Deidra, Marcus, and Holly in Pacific City.  Nick's friend let us stay at his beach house for the week. 

Marcus loved the water even in the rain!

We headed into Tillamook to tour the cheese factory and to get some much loved ice cream.  Elle sure enjoyed her first taste of huckleberry ice cream!  Not sure who the naughty ice cream sharer was... Okay fine it was me!  I swore I won't let Elle have any sweets until her first birthday but seriously, Tillamook ice cream is the best!  How could I deny her that?

This picture really sums up Marcus's feeling about sharing his bath time with Elle.  Elle has no personal bubble and wanted to sit as close to Marcus as possible as well as play with all his toys.  Marcus was not amused, especially when she started splashing about...

Who is that boy?

Who is that in my basket?

Who is that on my changing table?

Who is that in my whale tub?

How dare he laugh at me!

Oh, it is Marcus! How silly of me!

Marcus S came to visit on Saturday. He even brought his parents Nick and Deidra for Mommy and Daddy to hang out with. It was a lot of fun and we wish they still lived close by. Guess, I have to go to Spokane soon to visit them and play with all of Marcus's toys :)

For Your Entertainment

I have quite a few pictures from this weekend but I thought this set was pretty funny. The “other” Marcus was being entertained by Ceci. I just started taking pictures every 3-4 seconds. It’s great in a slideshow but this will have to do...

Unfortunately, Ceci was done before Marcus was and the chase was on...

Baby Marcus S

Last weekend Colby and I headed to Spokane to hang out with my brother's family and to meet the newest baby in town! Marcus Robert S!

Marcus and I kicking it at the meet and greet shower.
