A week in Camera Photos

Autumn is upon us.  Don't tell anyone but I'm ready!
Here's some random pics of what we did this week

Beach weekend

I forgot to pull out my camera all weekend at the beach (becoming too dependent on the fact that my phone has a camera)  We spent a wonderful weekend with friends in Rockaway Beach.  Randy went fishing and caught a HUGE salmon, Violet, Claudia and I braved the weather and took a short walk on the beach.

Birthday party fun

Happy Birthday Miss Dalia.  We loved the Pinata (and especially the candy inside!)

Happy Birthday Ellie

I'm lucky enough to have a childhood friend who lives in Portland.  

Her daughter, Ellie is turned three last weekend.  

Celebration included: animal masks, tattoos, birthday cake (with a sparkler on top!) bubbles, food, and the best part? Water balloons.  Good times were had by all, Happy Birthday to one of my favorite little people around.

Pretty Princess Diego

Ballet

Violet started ballet (with Amelia) last week.
I'm sure there will be a million pictures to post... they are so cute.
So far they are in love with it (and each other)

DeGroot Family Vacation

I vow to post more!
I have so many pictures to share from our summer adventures, and this week I realized I can post from my phone! So I now promise to be better, to share more, and let you see how our daily lives have been rolling along.
We spent our summer vacation at Campland at the Bay.
A week of RV camping, wave runners, beach, sunburns, lots of red meat, and of course family!
I have many photos of Violet and Jubilee to share, so be prepared for the onslaught.

What happens when they found a can of Coke

I love this Idea!!
