Birthday to Birthday

We started out April right by celebrating Grandpa's birthday!


Nothing makes the boys smile like spending time with cake...I mean family!

This is how I like to see my men!

An early morning game of chess.  Dylan didn't even have time to get dressed!  Actually this could have been taken at anytime of the day...since Dylan would prefer to be sans clothing at home if at all possible!

We planned a 3 day trip to Cannon Beach, OR...which couldn't have been a better weekend at the beach in early May!

Blue skies makes us happy folk!

And low tides and good tide-pooling always keeps us entertained for hours!

Who is that BOY?! 

Showing off some good finds!

After the first day which was pleasant but a bit windy, it was sunny and about 85+.  This was THE hottest Oregon beach weather we have ever experienced. 

Sitting in their big hole.

Too sunny Mom!

The boys LOVED the big tub in the hotel room...so much so that they took 3-4 baths a day while we were there!

From our room...taken by one of the boys.

The boys dug a huge tunnel one day...see Dylan's toes!

And his head!  He was able to crawl through!

Very proud of his tunnel!

Mom celebrated 'not being 40 yet' (not that there is anything wrong with being 40!).  And again we had a lovely sunny and HOT day.  More reason to celebrate with friends.

Kids are super excited because there are three cake options and one was an ice cream cake (thanks Rob!).

A bunch of cuties eating their cake together!
