Rayna and Rayden

As usual, the girls had so much fun playing together. They were so goofy and silly. It was very difficult to get a picture of the two of them because they wouldn't sit still or look at you at the same time. They played and played and when we left, Rayna kept crying "I miss my cousin Rayden" all the way home.

Brady at the Park

Brady had so much fun playing at the park. He followed the girls everywhere and wanted to do everything like the big kids. His favorite thing to do right now is hang on things, which is what he's doing on the little bridge. He was so dirty by the time we left, but he had a great time!

Rolling Down the Hill

Corey tried teaching the girls how to roll down the hill. It was a pretty funny sight. They kept going in opposite directions, especially Rayna. She'd get started and then end up rolling across the hill instead of down it. They had so much fun though!

Rayna's 3 Year Pictures

Okay, so I finally took Rayna in to get her 3 year picture taken. So, technically, she is 3 years and 3 months. I thought they turned out fantastic! I am so thankful because I didn't think it was going to happen. She started to get really nervous in the beginning and even started to cry. But we took a little break and then we got her laughing and got some great shots! She looks so grown up!

Our Day At The Beach

We went over to the beach on Saturday to escape from the 100+ degree weather we'd been having. It was so nice! It was in the 60's there and was a beautiful partly cloudly day. We played on the beach, had a picnic, walked around the harbor and ejoyed the local farmer's market and craft fair, played at the playground, and had a yummy dinner. It was a great day away!

Fun with Daddy! The kids and daddy had fun getting dirty in the sand. Rayna likes to make sand angels and got daddy to do it too.





Rayna loved the beach as usual. She had so much fun running around playing tag and other games. Her favorite part was playing in the water. She didn't want to stop!





Brady had soooo much fun at the beach! He didn't care how dirty he got and kept laying in the sand and rolling around in it. He loved digging in it too! He also really liked playing on the shore in the water. It didn't scare him at all. In fact, he kept wanting to go out farther!





I kept trying to get a good picture of both the kids together, but it is nearly impossible. As soon as one would look at me and smile, the other one would look away. Or get up and walk away.



We had some extra time before dinner so we took the kids to Azaela Park to play at the cool park. They both had so much fun climbing all around. It helped to tire them out even more so that they both crashed on the way home and didn't wake up until the next morning!

Josephine County Fair

We spent all day Thursday at the Josephine County Fair. We got up there at 7:30 to watch our nephew Joshua do his food prep competition. Then we walked around the fair and saw all the animals and exhibits. Joshua also had his pig there so Rayna got to go in the pen with him and pet Chewbacca. She loves the pigs! Later that afternoon we watched him do his presentation and then spent some more time walking around. It was an extremely hot day (109!!) and also a very long day, but we had a great time!

The Petting Zoo

Both the kids loved the petting zoo! Brady was a little unsure at first, but quickly warmed up to the animals. Rayna was all over the place, petting any animal she could!
