March

In March, we went: 

Whale watching at ecola State Parlk with the Bowles and the Clydes.  We didn't see a whale but had fun hiking around and picnicking. 

We took the bikes and rode on the prom. 

Played on the sparkling beach.

Took a trip to Tilamook. This is one of the view points along the way just outside of Canon Beach. 

We went to the cheese factory and had lunch and ice cream as well as a tour of the factory. 

We had a special movie night.  Ashton bought  Frozen and we surprised the kids.  They knew we were having a movie night and even got to pick out yummy treats for it but they didn't know what the movie was.  JJ loves Frozen and Ashton was beyond excited to get it and surprise his little girl. 

We also went Indian Beach when we went whale watching. They showed us where the sea anemones are and Dex even braved climbing around like all the other kids. It has become on of my favorite places to go. 

We had so much fun.  

February

In February, we announced we were having a baby at the end of August.  We find out what we are having in about 10 days.

We built a fort and read stories in there

It snowed and we were all really excited.  We've been missing the snow.

 It was very dry and didn't stick together very well, but we managed to make a teeny snow man.

We made pink pancakes for breakfast on Valentine's Day.

and Juliette got her mug with her picture on it.

JJ figured out that you can stick combs in the door frame of the linen closet and make them stay.

On Ashton's day off we went to the cove.  We saw lots of surfers and people clamming.

We found "wild" hermit crabs

JJ got all messy.  Here she is showing me a shell she found.

And the boys practiced balancing rocks.

We had fun!
