Tulip Festival

I took Dominic to the Tulip festival with a friend and her adorable children and we had a great time! It was fun taking pictures of Dominic. He is a very expressive little guy!




Our wonderful friends! They live near us and love having playdates together! We tried several times to get all of the kids to look at us and smile at the same time...almost impossible! But fun to try :) They are cute kiddos!

The girls love Dominic and are so helpful!

Dominic is a very independent little boy and loves to walk around by himself!

Happy Easter

I can't believe that Easter was over a month ago and I am just now posting these pictures! This year has been so busy with Dom's school schedule and with a very busy toddler on my hands that I don't have the time I used to be able to put into the blog. I am a little behind, but will catch up and try to stay on top of it as best I can!

We had a great time as a family that day! My parents came over for dinner after church and we had an Easter egg hunt for Dominic and he seemed to know what to do! We got some cute pictures of Dominic and even managed to sneak the bunny ears on him too! He only tolerated it for a
















A short video clip of Dominic hunting for Easter Eggs! Enjoy!!

Spring Break

We have had a great spring break! Dom was off work for the week, we were house sitting for some friends, and the first half of the week we had gorgeous weather!

My cousin, Elyse was with us the first part of the week and we had a great time showing her around Portland. She grew up in France where her parents are missionaries and the year that I lived there I went to visit them several times. Elyse is now attending Seattle Pacific University
and it was fun to have her with us!


We spent one sunny afternoon at Cannon Beach. The weather was gorgeous and Dominic loved running around and playing in the sand.







Then we made a stop at the candy kitchen to see them making Salt Water Taffy.

And a free sample of fresh salt water taffy. It was still warm! :)

We spent another afternoon in the Gorge, and enjoyed beautiful weather once again!

We saw this hat in the gift shop and couldn't resist putting it on Dominic's head!

We spent some time in down town Portland before Elyse's train took off.


He is already a Starbucks fan! It was an empty cup, but kept him very entertained!

While we were sight seeing, Dominic preferred to walk and loved pushing his stroller!

The video below is of Dominic pushing the stroller through the park.



We did quite a bit of driving and Dominic was fantastic in the car!
