The Pool At Newport

Newport Beach Photos

Daddy and Colin building sand castles! Colin likes to throw stuff. He got a stern warning here.

A little fearful of the waves.

Newport

September 3rd-6th, we went to Newport for a family vaca.

Here is where we stayed

The fantabulous view from our room. Oh, and our kids.
Had fun at the Oregon Coast Aquarium. (Not the Newport Aquarium. That's in Kentucky.)
No Daddy! No beer!
Dinner at the Rogue Brewery.

Welcome Baby Hayden!

Baby Hayden was born July 30, 2010. She weighed 8lbs, 15oz (we breed 'em big!). She is a very pink, healthy baby. Sleeps quite a bit (even at 6 weeks!) and pretty laid back. Only cries when there is something to cry about; hungry, has burps in her belly. She is the easy one to care for!

Colin did not like the hospital situation. Would not go near mom or baby Hayden (or Bay Hayden as he calls her). Now he loves her! Wants to hold her, kiss her. He even helps me feed her! I am pleasantly surprised with how good he is to her.

Colin is so not thrilled!
I guess she's ok!

July 18th, 2010

On Sunday, we went on a family trip to Enchanted Forest in Salem. Colin loved the slides, but not the dark spaces (e.g. the White Rabbit hole, the dungeon) so much.

He really didn't like the roller-coaster. Oh well. Perhaps next year!

Colin's Room: After

Viola! Jared did an excellent job painting and redecorating, turning a "stuff" room into a little boy's room! (now what to do with all the "stuff"...)

Colin's Room: Before

Our guest room was converted into Colin's room. Its bigger than his old room, and the process was just easier that way. Here are the before photos.
