Beach Trip

It was a beautiful weekend at the beach. Dallin and Todd spent the whole day at NAACs (native American arts and ceremonies). It's a scouting thing. Mason put together a little mini ocean. It was really cool. He had sea monkeys and sand fleas in there.

Hunter and his cousin Nicklas spent most of the time wandering the beach together.
Gavin and Alaina had a fun time playing in the water. Yes it is January at the coast and Alaina is in a swimsuit. She spent two hours in that suit.
Gideon loved it. He could've stayed out all day if it hadn't finally got cold.

Something New

I thought I would try something different and highlight each member of the family and focus on them for one blog entry. I struggle trying to give an update of what everyone is doing and think I will have more fun this way and hopefully it will help me blog more often.

So today it's on Gideon. He is such a delight. Today while I was talking to my sister at the door he walked out and climbed down the steps. Then when he realized no one was stopping him he took off as quickly as his little legs would carry him, which was half way into the sopping grass. I thought it was so funny I didn't have the heart to stop him. He crawled around for about 5 minutes in the sopping cold northwest outdoors when I thought it would be best to bring him in and clean him up.


One of his favorite things to play with is the dishwasher, today he made the bold move to climb up on the dishwasher just in case I might close his favorite toy up.
I don't understand what he is really doing here but he puts his face down and gets it all wet. I catch him doing it all the time.
This is his blanket he must have it when he sleeps and he gives a cute little squeal when he sees it.
