Sand Cabin 2010

This August we had our second annual family vacation at Lincoln City, or as my kids call it the Sand Cabin. It was a great week, and the boys were able to go lots of adventures. Sorry it took me so long to post all of the pictures. We went a little crazy and took over 400 pictures, so it took me forever to go through them. Brayden is already asking when we are going back to the Sand Cabin, he has a long time to wait!

Thanks to Aunt Kelley and Uncle Matt, Brayden is asking for an IPhone for Christmas!

Ladies Weekend!

This past weekend I got to go away with my mom and sister on a girls getaway to Woodinville for some wine tasting, and I LOVE WINE!! We had an amazing time, tasted some great wines, and got some good bonding tme n. It was strange being away from the kids for 3 days, but after a few glasses of wine it got a little easier! We stayed at Willows Lodge....

We started our weekend off with a private tasting at Columbia Winery. I really feel like we learned so much, and suprisingly I seemed to enjoy the Red Wines over the White.

The following day we went over to Saint Michelle for a tour and another private tasting. Yes we were there at 10:00am. We were the first one's there, and the last time I started drinking that early was college!

The grounds are beautiful!

This is where our private tasting was held. They gave a plate of meats, cheeses, and fruit with our wines. During the tasting they showed us how to pair our wines with food. The most suprising thing was that you should never serve grapes with wine, it completely changes the wine and not in a good way. You have to try it. Take a sip of wine, eat a grape, and then take another sip of wine- NOT GOOD!

All of those barrels are full of red wine!

After Saint Michelle we walked a few block to a couple of other tasting rooms. I was really suprised, there are 50 or more tasting rooms within walking distance from Willows Lodge. One of my favorite was Dusted Valley, it was really good wine. Brit and I have become member of their Stained Tooth Club!

Brian Carter was another one we visited.

They gave Brit a bday hat to wear.

1st Race

This past weekend B ran his first 1 K race, and dad did the 10K. Kuenzie and I were the cheerleaders, but were instructed not to cheer to loudly because he would have to run with his hands over his ears and it would slow him down. He did great and actually ran the entire race. Rob did really good to, especially for not training at all.

Brayden's 1st day school!

This last week was Brayden's 1st official day of school! I can't believe summer is over, time is flying by way to fast. Kuenzie had to get in on the action to. She was a little sad when she just got to go to Grandma's for the day and Brayden go to go bye bye somewhere.

I can't believe how old they both look, where did my babies go?
