Birthday Princess!!

Madeline is 5! We had a great party for her on Sunday with a nice size group of 30 people. Some how we lucked out with the weather! It was pouring before everyone showed up, cleared up and was sunny for the party, and then poured all night! Gotta love Oregon! She got many "cool" toys and it was wonderful having so many friends and family able to help celebrate with her. She was sure to remind us all that it was HER party and SHE is the princess. lol What a goof!
Thank you to everyone who came!
Last weekend we headed to Newport for the OSP Superintendent's Salute. It was gorgeous down there! We took the dogs down to the beach with OJ, Amy, Tori and their dog, Sammy. What a great time! Lucy couldn't get enough of the ocean and chasing the ball!

We picked up Jordan on our way home so she could be at Madeline's party and stay a couple days with us. At one point during the ride home Madeline was telling Jordan about a slug in the back yard. She said, "It wasn't eating any of our flowers... It was just sluggin' around!" Jeromy and I lost it laughing! Oh, the things kids say!

Madeline got a letter from her kindergarten teacher. She has Mrs. Biggs for the AM class. She's pretty excited because we can walk to school! We only live 5 houses from the playground and can see her class room windows from our driveway... She only goes one day the first week and actually starts everyday Sept. 10th.

For now...
