Bush Park Pictures

Here are some fun pictures from a recent photo session with Uncle Jeff. He hasn't re-touched them yet, but we wanted to get them posted before they are out of date. After you check these pictures out be sure to look below at the other new post from tonight. We've gotten a little behind on our blogging and we're trying to catch up so check back soon for some exciting new "firsts".

Its our Blogiversary!

Its been about one year since we started this blog. Our first major post was when we took Conrad's sisters to the fair last year. I was a couple months pregnant with the babies and it was so fun to take Elizabeth and Sarina and imagine how it would be to take our kids. I remember blogging soon after and how sore I was after walking around all day and then sitting at the computer on a hard chair. It was probably one of my last major outings of my pregnancy and soon after this I was spending most of my time on the couch. This was because of wanting to avoid pre-term labor and later simply because I could not hardly move. Oh how pregnancy and having babies takes a toll on your body (I will save that happy subject for a later date when I can look back with some perspective.)Well, as you can see we did take Mila and Nolan to their first trip to the fair. We went with our friends Katie and Jose and their son Owen on Fri. night. The people watching at the fair is always amazing...that's all I am going to say about that. Soon after we met up the Lizama fam, Jose and Conrad went on the search for some fries and came back with a pile of fries called "Mt. Hood" with chili and fake cheese all over. They also tried the ice cream, a corndog, and helped Katie with her elephant ear. We looked at the exhibits, saw how many twins we could find (about 5), and just wandered. We also did some feedings on the fly and even changed all of their diapers while they were sitting in their strollers by the foot jiggily machines (because you know we would never put our babies on any of the available surfaces at the fair). We had a great time even during some screaming by Mila when it was getting close to bed time. I hunched over and held her hand as I walked next to the stroller until she fell asleep.
On Saturday we drove over to the beach and spent two nights with my parents in their camper. Conrad stayed the first night with us and met up with some guys for our friends Dru's bachelor party (the main purpose for our trip out there). We visited our friends Paul and Toni and their cute kiddos, went to the outlet mall, and found our favorite beach spot on 16th St. in Lincoln City. When Conrad was at the bachelor party my mom and I took the babies on a long walk to the fabric store and to check out the place we are using for the women's retreat we are planning. We also had a chance to drive down to the beach, put the babies in the carriers, walk around, load up, and head out when we were done.
