Spontaneous Beach Trip

I woke up the other morning and decided it was the perfect day to go to the beach. . . . after taking Makayla to school I contacted Becky to see what she was doing for the afternoon. . . . well we went for it. We threw some stuff together, grabbed our kids after school and headed to the beach. We met in Newport since we were coming from different directions and had a wonderful afternoon! It was about 75 and sunny, such a perfect day at the beach!

The kids got such a great suprise. They had no idea when they headed off to school in the morning that they were going to be seeing their best friend at the beach that afternoon.

Introducing Baby Doty #3

1st Day of School

Makayla went to her first day of Kindergarten today!! I can't believe she is so grown up. She was up and out of bed before Michael was even home this morning and ready to get going. I thought it would be more of a challenge but she moved quicker than I had ever seen to get ready to go anywhere. She even had time to make Kaden breakfast!

Look at her smile, she is so excited. Daddy got off work late so we waited for him to get home to head to school. I think Dad had a harder time letting her go then mom. I had to drag him out of the classroom. :o)

Once we got into the classroom you could tell Makayla got a little nervous. But we got her to find her cubby to put her stuff in, she checked herself in and then it was time to either color or read while waiting for class to get started.

All in all the first day was a success!

Oregon State Fair

We went to the Oregon State Fair for Labor Day. We took the kids and our niece Katrina. They had $1.50 ride day so the kids got to have some extra fun!

Last year Makayla really wanted to go on the Farris Wheel but she was too little, this year there was no stopping her. She loved it!


Poor Kaden was too little to do any of the rides, our first time up to the carousel the worker let him go as long as I stood there even though he was too short to ride. . . . the second time we tried I really had to stretch him tall for the worker to let him on. He had so much fun! He is still telling me about the horsey. ("round and round and round")

Kittens

The kittens will be 5 weeks old on Friday. They have just figured out how to walk and are really starting to play. We took them outside for the first time a couple days ago and they really liked it. They are so cute!
