Oregon Vacation

-
We had a wonderful time on our vacation to Oregon. Here a few pictures of the highlights:


Mommy and Charlie on the beach. Charlie had a blast throwing rocks and wandering around the ocean. 
Grandma and Papa Sayre were vacationing out there as well. We all went through the tunnel to the other side where there was more ocean and rocks! During high tide, you cannot get to the other side unless by this tunnel.
Momma and the baby and the Dada.
Cliff, Charlie, and Adam, with the beautiful rocks in the background.
Charlie "spelunking" in a cave with Daddy (not sure where he is...).
Charlie playing ball with Brooks (the Jack Russell).
Uncle Gene, Charlie and Uncle Bob posing at the Tillamook Cheese Factory. Driving peacefully down the road.
And then Charlie "steered" them off course....Charlie doesn't like going "straight."
Hanging out in the sun at the Ocean House!

Thanks Uncle Bob and Uncle Gene for hosting us for the week! We had a great time. Apparently, I was really good at taking pictures the first few days, but forgot to photograph the rest of the trip. 
Other highlights include:
-Great Margaritas
-Great Card Playing
-Cliff 2.0 showing up for a game of cards, until Cliff 1.0 returned.
-Eating out at the "Screen Door"-best Southern Food EVER!
-Eating at the "Schooner" and having an AMAZING vegetarian pizza and wings (best I have ever had, way to go Netarts, OR!)
-Going to the Portland Zoo
-Having a few hours out on my own to go shopping (no sales tax in Oregon!)
-Seeing Liz Ruckh and catching up
-Great Wine
-Good laughs
-Encouraging Bob to attain that 1% that he dreams of...

Favorite Quotes:
Bob: "Portland is where the youth go to retire."
Bob: "Don't lie Adam, you didn't go to a conference, you were leading the Occupy Portland downtown."
Adam: "I am all about the Occupy Portland (or anywhere idea), but all these people look like they are homeless...."
Bob: "I am a 1% "wanna be"
Nicki: "Bob, I think you are going to lose your 'gay card' if you keep supporting the Republican party and the 1%."

Pro-Life or Not?

I am reading this great book by Shane Claiborne called "The Irresistible Revolution." The author is a Christian, but he is the type of Christian that Jesus was, not the type of Christian that we perceive ourselves to be. When he tries to live like Jesus, he really does. He is ALL about ending poverty in this nation, about feeding people, making wealth more "communal" (oh man would the Republicans HATE that!), and living like Jesus did. I certainly do not live like Jesus. I rarely communicate with the poor, the low in life's, the sick and diseased. I am not proud of myself for that. This book puts a new spin on Christianity and while most of our "churches" attest to following Jesus, it is certainly hard for them to "follow" Jesus on a 3-4 million dollar/year budget. Just saying... With that said, he has an AMAZING quote on pro-life. I "am" pro-life, but I have always stated that I am pro-life in every sense of the word. Anti-war, p...

My first born is officially four! I can hardly believe it! What an amazing journey it has been and I thought I would share a few things about him. Height: 40.5" (54 percentile) Weight: 33 lbs (20th percentile) BMI: below the 7th percentile. So he is tall-ish and skinny...a good way to be!! Eating: He eats a fairly healthy diet. He obviously strongly desires desserts at all time. He will get through dinner, just so a dessert can occur! Ha. I think he has my sweet tooth. Right now he is in love with cashews, raisins, granola bars, and broccoli. And desserts! He often makes dinner a seemingly long battle, in which he is the only one left at the table. I am sure we will work through this behavior as well. Sleeping: No more naps, but takes 1 1/2 hours of quiet time in the basement playing by himself. He then sleeps from about 8pm until 8am. Just recently, he has been going all night without a wet diaper. So, we are officially night trained as well. It is kinda cute how he...
