photo dump

so here's the deal in our life right now. I'm working 40+ hours a week at the apartments here. Justin is working almost full time at his job at Portland State with an hour commute each way to and from Portland. And the kids are left to their own devices a lot which has been...not ideal. We're busy. Too busy. I snap pictures on my phone but they don't make it o to the blog because I just don't have the time. So they build up and build up until I have 300 photos taking up space and I have to just dump them on here to get more room on my phone. Also not ideal. And definitely won't make for interesting reading of our family history 20 years from now. However, I just got a new job that is part time with weekends off managing a smaller property that comes with a 3 bedroom house for us to live in. We're so excited. And school starts soon for Justin and Audrey. So things should slow down soon and we should get our schedule back which always makes me a happy mama. But for now: pictures. Lets get to it shall we?

The kids are both loving my office and sneaking in there to play/make a huge mess whenever they get the chance.

My Grandma and Grandpa Bunn were named grand Marshals of the Dairy Days parade in Wendell which made me so proud and SO homesick when I couldn't go...

We've found the best ice cream I've ever tasted at salt and straw and we go there, uh, frequently. 

We're still hitting the farmers market every Saturday morning for beautiful flowers and produce and yummy cookies

Miss Audrey has lost two teeth and learned how to ride a bike. Growing up way too fast!

My kids have been amazing through this whole up and move and move again transition.

David's new obsession is to "trap" everything in the house. He ties up his sister's dolls. "They're trapped mom!" He puts the laundry basket upside down on the tv remote on the floor. "Mom I trapped it!" The other day we found a butterfly net at the thrift store he's used it to trap everything and anything. "Mom, I trap you!" Yesterday I found this on the doorknob of my bedroom. 

We've seen blackberries growing everywhere here so we stopped by the side of the road one day and picked a TON. So yummy!

We've been school shopping and getting excited for fall as well. The other day we made potatoes and peas for dinner which made me miss home again...but it was so delicious so not all bad. :)

We took a three day getaway to the beach a few weeks ago that I'll post pictures of soon.
