A Whole Month!!! (Well, almost!)

I got on our blog this morning, and realized that with today being August 9 already, I realized I had better hurry and post again or it will officially have been one month since I last posted! It has been a busy last month, with lots of fun things to post about, but I guess I have been too busy . . . or should I say, lazy? :)

Three days after coming home from New York, we left for Park City, Utah, to stay with Shane's family. We had a great time visiting with family, especially Shane's sister Wendi and her kids as we hadn't seen them in almost two years. Landon especially loved playing with his cousin Laci, who is only six months older than him. The two of them were even patient with all of the hugs and kisses everyone made them give each other!

We came home a week later, only to have Shane's mom, grandma, brother Mark and sister-in-law Melanie come out to visit us. We were so glad to have them come, especially Mark and Melanie since they hadn't been out to see us yet. We had fun taking them to Cannon Beach and showing them around the area.

The night after they left, we went to a Portland Beavers baseball game at PGE park in Portland. We decided to take the Max train because we've heard parking can be bad. Landon loved it! He was grinning the whole way. I guess we should ride that into town more often!

Finally, our last recent trip happened two days after they left last week when we drove to Ashland to celebrate Shane's 31st birthday!!! Jake and Stacey have been in California for the summer, so we met them in Ashland for some fun times for the big day. Tennis was of course included, and Shane enjoyed playing in his brand new tennis shoes he got for his birthday. We also went to the park for a hot dog roast and played some horseshoes. Saturday night, we all went out on the trampoline to watch a movie on the "big screen" (a projector shining on a white sheet). It's been a fun few weeks! Here's a few pictures of the month's activities.

Playing boules in our backyard with the Malans. Landon felt left out, so he had to play with his ball. You can see him in the back waiting for his turn.

We hope you enjoy the pictures. I'll try to do better from now on! Hope to hear from all of you too!
