staying busy in january...

january is one of those months that i like to be busy in.  the low lying valley fog can get to me this time of year, so we try and run from it or just stay so busy we don't notice it! :)

first time in the BOB with no carseat!  it sure makes miss olivia look like a big girl!
the girls and i explored oregon state campus one day...we had so much fun walking/running to the covered bridge.  

lots of construction going on at OSU...the girls loved watching it!

we escaped the fog and headed to the coast for 70 degree weather...it was such an amazing day!!!
LOVE oregons winter sunshine!
it was brians birthday weekend, so he did some relaxing in the sunshine!  of course with three little tigers crawling on him! :)
oh sweet girl...she loved the beach!
pebble beach was fun with these two cuties!
such a gorgeous day!
we stayed for the sunset because we just didn't want to leave the sunshine!

and sometimes you have to skip school and play in the sunshine at the zoo too! :)

i miss my play dates with this little lady!   
although it has been so fun watching her grow and learn so much this year in school!
amelia's picture request! :)
porcupines!!!
we had an awesome time watching the gymnastics at OSU!  
and sometimes we just run to the hills to find sunshine or just to play in the snow!
happy january!!!
