Chloe celebrated her 7th birthday this weekend. She picked monster cupcakes so we decided to have it before Halloween. I'll post more pictures of the parthy later.



Being such a great mother I only managed to get pictures of one of my three children this Halloween. Oh well. Kaiya was dressed up as Boo from Monsters Inc. She was so cute, but was so done with pictures and the costume by the end of the night. I had to bribe her to get these shots.

My favorite place


As you all know I've a horrible blogger this past spring/summer. To make up for it I posted some of my favorite pictures from my favorite place. My friend Catfish says you are either a water person or a mountain person. I am most definitely a water person. (Fish, you should recognize this beach!) My favorite destination is Long Beach, Washington. I grew up visiting every summer, it's filled with memories of crab holes, sand, and family. I am now fortunate enough to pass on the love for the beach to my children. It fills my heart with joy every time I say, "Let's go to the beach." and my kids cheer. All of the kids adore the beach but noone more than Chloe, she is a glimpse into the past. She loves the water much like I did when I was little, she plunges into the cold waves with no abandon. Most of the time I have to limit her to wading but she can't help but stick her toes in no matter what time of year it is. I hope you all have a place that makes you happy, this is our family's "happy place".




This is my favorite shot of Chloe from this summer.
