Catch-up #9: Everything up until now

I'm getting tired of doing all my 'catch-up' posts so I'm just going to do a really long one here and condense everything up until today.
We went to Hawaii in September. The girls are still talking about it and Kaia asks every time we go on a trip anywhere if we're going to Hawaii. Some day girl, some day.

On the shuttle to the airport from our hotel in Portland. They are a little excited can you tell?


Kaia was so tired that she fell asleep about 30 min. after take off...sweet!




Zoe playing putt putt backwards


At the world famous banyon tree in Lahaina




I think this picture is so funny! Chet and Zane could care less about taking one more picture but Zoe is posing pretty for the camera :)

Getting covered with sand


Playing hide and seek in the closet

The time change wiped us out and the only way to have half-way decent princesses instead of raging monsters was to take a nap every day


Zoe and Sophia, Shelley's cousin's daughter

Sophia ordering Chet off the 'Only Girls' towel!

On the way home

At PDX


Making tasty treats from the TOH magazine

Yumm!!

The girls and I had to use up a Groupon at the Aquarium before it expired



It was the most gorgeous day at the beach that I've ever seen in Oregon! Warm and barely a breeze!

We also went hunting in Eastern Oregon for a weekend...no luck for Ryan but the other hunters were successful


Who needs sons? Ryan has the best hunting partner in Zoe...she loves being outside with her dad!

We are in BIG trouble! Zoe made this sign for her bedroom door. She told me that it says "DO NOT COME IN THIS DOOR!" How does she even know that kids do that????


We used another Groupon to go to a pumpkin patch

Fun, fast, steep slide!




Hay ride

Playing in the wheat berry 'pool'

Zoe fell and bit her lip. She must have been exhausted because she fell asleep with the cold rag dangling from mouth :)

Kaia passed out too

Carving pumpkins for Halloween

Kaia was not too thrilled about pulling out the slimey innards

Zoe took this one of me and Kaia

Cleaning up the seeds for toasting. We've never tried this before and Zoe was the only one in our house who liked the final product. I am definitely not a seed eater!

Posing with our pumpkins in the background (please excuse my daughter's OSU nightgown...she is still learning to make the right choices about which teams are worth supporting)

Ryan was able to fill his doe tag

For some reason, cutting up the meat was exciting enough to beg for bedtime to be delayed a bit...weird kids

Shelley and I took our kids + Gavin to Wacky Bounce in Corvallis and then Burger King for lunch

This weekend, we took the girls over to Bend for the Sledfilm Snowmobile Film Festival. It was fun but next year we're leaving the girls with Grandma :) 5 full length films in one night is a little much for 2 little girls to handle. I ended up taking them back to the hotel quite early.

Kaia always konks out in the car when she eats ice cream. Lucky us though...we get to finish it up!
