SNOW!!!!

 We had a surprise snow storm blow thru the past few days and had way more snow thanwe have had in a number of years. The kids got a few snow days and we had a fun time... even tho I wasn't prepared. We threw away their sleds last spring since they were worn out and neither kid had snow pants that fit. UGH!! We improvised and there was still much fun to be had.

Lots of pretty snow!

Bodie is NOT a fan at all! 

The kids went up to Highland by themselves to see if they had friends there playing. The first time they've done that on a snow day. Bittersweet.. but I certainly enjoyed the warm house while they were gone...haha!

We made gluten free oreo snow ice cream and it was SO yummy!

Yay for snow days!!

Back to the Beach!

 

We went to the beach for President's Day weekend. The weather wasn't as great as we had hoped but we still had a great time being together away from the hubbub of life. 

(That's Matthew going on a run on the beach)

We went into Depoe Bay and decided to have lunch at the Sea Hag, a famour restaurant. It took FOREVER to get our food, and it wasn't all the great. We chose to just laugh at the experience and probably will never go back...haha!

We love long walks on the beach and going to expore the tide pools

...even if it's a wee bit windy!

We woke up to sun one morning and took advantage of it!

Movien night in the kids' room on our last night. 

Grateful for time away with my sweet family!
