Fun In Oregon

We decided to take a spontaneous trip to Oregon to visit my best friend Erika and her family. I LOVE her camera and her photography skills so the great news is there will probably be a lot more updates while I am on this trip! :) Here are some of our moments. This is a typical scene you will see with Gabriella. She loves to cuddle me and east my face,
Gabriella attacking me...
We took the kids to a bouncy house yesterday. This is all of us at the bottom of the slide.
Here is ALL of us except Fernando who was taking the picture (two moms, two toddlers, two preschoolers and two babies...) yah call us crazy...but the kids loved it!


Ben and Lydia were the first to have the idea to go down together.... and it just escalated from there.
These two have been the best for friends

Gabriella reached a new milestone! She had now hold her own bottle. Not that she has one very often but I pumped one to bring with us.
Here is Ben trying to talk himself out of his 'pretend' ticket that policeman daddy was giving him. He is convinced he is quite persuasive.
I just love this little girl!!

She was trying to eat the ball that was practically bigger than her!

Ben chillin
hanging out on the chair...we hardly see them since they are always off playing pretend something or other... but who's complaining we are all having a great time as always visiting my best friend and her family. It works out so well that our kids are so close in age. Ben and Ballerina are 2 months apart. Landon and Sweetie are 3 months apart and Gabriella and capt A are 5 months a part. So fun!!! More pictures to come
