34

Justin turned 34 yesterday and so we got home from the beach in the afternoon and I made him his favorite dinner and an apple crisp for dessert (he doesn't like cake, can you imagine?!??!) We had such a great 3 days together as a family hanging out, not watching TV and just relaxing. 

Happy Birthday to my sweet, caring, hilarious husband. You are not only a great man, a great provider and protector of us but you are an amazing father and a loving and compassionate husband. My soul mate, my best friend I love you to the moon and back!

Easton liked the candles of course



 I make a great apples crisp but I wasn't sure when we'd get home from the beach how much time I'd have etc so I bought this boxed one because I just wanted it to be EASY! It was actually really good, I added oatmeal the the crisp part because I like lots of Oatmeal in mine, and put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on it, super delish!


Backpack thingy

I have been wanting on of these backpacks for Easton because he's getting too big for the Ergo and Bjorn (Plus it hurts my back) but I didn't want to spend $200+ for the REI ones, its not like we are hard core hikers, ya know? So I saw in the babies r us magazine that Chicco makes ones and with my babies r us bucks and 20% off coupon it was only $60, score! Easton loved it and we loved it! Super comfy and easy to wear/use etc. I highly recommend this product!

 And it has this clear plastic shield that goes over his face, it was perfect because it started raining and we could cover him up!

Cannon Beach

We had a wonderful weekend in Cannon beach celebrating fathers day and Justin's Birthday. We played in the sand and ocean lots, shopped, ate, day drank while the baby napped (so fun)! We stayed at the Hallmark resort, and it is right on front of haystack rock, you can walk to town, it allows dogs and we had a covered patio looking out at the ocean so when Easton was sleeping we could hang out there. It was PERFECT!
My instangram photos- I am obsessed with instagram now, its so fun!!!
 Easton eating Sand! I kept telling him no but he was persistent so he tasted it and did not want anymore.

 Sunburn!
 This is what a 8 month old does with the sand shovel and pail!


Standing on our deck looking at the views...

 We cant go to the beach without Mackie, he loves the water, sand, waves and especially the cool temps. Although it was pretty warm!
 First sunburn, I feel terrible! It was overcast but it still got him. Just his nose and cheeks a little pink nothing too bad but I still feel like a bad mom :-(
 This was the cutest candy store, I had to take some pics!
 YUM!

 Pinterest is taking over, signs were everywhere!
 Coug representation! It's rare to see this in Oregon!
 Cute "name trains"! I am wishing I would've bought this now! I think I might order it online! Would be a super cute gift too!
 Super cute cafe we had breakfast at, very delicious, thanks for the rec Prita!
 The lazy susan cafe- its in a little house, very cute and small! fresh out of the oven scones, muffin, yum!
 We stopped for wine tasting but got denies because we couldn't go upstairs with Eason!
 Pretty hanging baskets line the street
 I like the 3 sign cluster of these.....
 Love this tall wine bottle, wish I had a wine cellar to put it in! Someday....
 Haystack rock
 Cannon beach is the cutest beach town I have ever been to! Look at this cute sign for the library- love it!
 Bench outside the library, so darling!
 In love with this pic, what is he smiling about?
 Love his profile looking out at the Ocean
 My 2 loves
 We went to Ecola state Park, its breathtaking!
 Last morning, the blue skies were beautiful!

50 shades

I have been neglecting my blog because I have been caught up in the dark and twisted life of Christen Grey. What great books! I read all 3 in a week and Justin was out of town for 4 days of it so when I wasn't Feeding/playing/changing Easton- I was reading. I haven't been this swept up in a book (or 3 ) in a long time! I can't help when I read but think which Actors would play these characters if this was made into a movie and here is what I have come up with so far. This is how I picture'd these characters.....
Kate- Annalynne McCord

Elliot- Kellan Lutz
Anastasia Steele- Anna Kendrick
This was really hard and then it just hit me.. Christen Grey- Chris Pine

What do you think????? I want to hear how you guys pictured these characters too!
I pictured Mrs. Robinson as a blonde bob'd Demi Moore- perfect right?
