Dance Party

Scott loves to dance. He's not too bad either!

Tillamook Cheese Factory

I am so behind on posts, so expect a lot over the next few days. So much has happened, I am having a hard time keeping up!

While we were at the beach, we went to the Tillamook Cheese Factory. Husband and I went there on our honeymoon (we're dorks, I know) and it really a neat place to go. Not to mention they have really yummy cheese and ice cream. My favorite is the Tillamook Mudslide and Husband's is Peppermint Candy.

Scott had the peppermint candy ice cream since his dad couldn't be there.

Scott also thought everybody else was a whole lot cooler than us.

He did let us pose him with the cows.

I posed too.

I bought Husband some salt water taffy while we were there for his birthday and drooled over all the cheese. I did buy a small block of their special anniversary Extra Sharp Vintage White Cheese and it was sooooo delicious.

When Dreams and Reality Blur

Do you ever have a dream that feels so real, when you wake up, you're amazed to find out it was a dream? Or when something you do in your dream, you do in real life and it wakes you up?

I've always had really vivid, interesting dreams. I used to have a re-occurring dream that scared the daylights out of me. I had a dream one night that was so upsetting that I woke up crying.

One night I dreamed that someone was breaking into my house. I was pregnant with Scott at the time and so I was pregnant in my dream as well. I tried to wake up my husband but I couldn't get him to budge. I tried pulling him out of bed, but instead of waking up, he slunk to the floor. Taking matters into my own hands, I grabbed a pistol and confronted the burglar. I yelled at him, "What are you doing in my house? You better get out of my house!" Except, there was some colorful language sprinkled in there and it was those words that I decided to yell out in my sleep. It woke up me and my Husband, we had a laugh and then he checked the house to make sure there was no one there.

Last night, I had another dream that bled into real life. Not as exciting as the last one, but it made me laugh when I woke up. In my dream, a friend was accused of stealing something and the police were raiding the office where we worked (we were medical professionals for a private party hall to the rich and famous and had a small office with tvs to see where we would need to go in case of an emergency which meant we just spied on everyone) and I was going ballistic! I let out this huge sigh in exasperation and it woke me up. I laughed and then I hoped I hadn't woken up Scott with it.

Anybody else had something like that happen to them? Or am I just a freak of nature?

Scott and the Bear

This wooden bear statue at the beach became Scott's second best friend. He would talk to and hug and chill with him all weekend long.

After Picture

He was not hurt after the face plant. He was more upset that he was rescued than getting a face full of sand.


P.S. Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Face Plant

Here it is!

Thanks to Scott's Marmee, we figured out how to get this thing done!

Enjoy!

We Interrupt...

I haven't forgotten about the Face Plant, it's coming, hopefully in video form but if not, there will be a before and after picture.

The interruption is to tell you that.....

(drum roll please)

I'm Staying Longer!!

Now this might not seem very newsworthy until I add this last part........

(drum roll please)

Husband is coming!!

The last time he was home was for our wedding reception a little over 3 years ago this month. I know he's not excited about the plane ride, but I bet a break from 95-100 degree weather is something to get excited about. The only downside to this new arrangement is that we won't be coming out for Christmas.

His mom is super excited to have him come out. The last time she saw him was right after Scott was born, when we took her to DisneyWorld. I am so blessed to have a wonderful mother in law who raised up a righteous son. When we were dating, I was repeatedly given the advice to watch how he treats his mother, for that is the way he will treat his wife. I know he will (and does) take care of me because of the way he takes care of his mother, still to this day.

The Beach

Scott loved the water. He went swimming 3 times on Saturday. He pitched a fit every time we got him out. It was such a good weekend.

Face Plant-up next.

The Park

More Husband

I love my Husband.

I hope you read this.

The other day we were talking about how 'clean' the house is (which isn't very by the way, so much for that) and I asked how he was doing for dinner since I'm not there to cook for him.

He reported that he is doing good, lots of frozen already prepared food stocked in the freezer and....
"Last night I ate a family sized lasagna, I wasn't feeling too good after that."

I should hope not. It feeds a family of six to eight.

Usually I make just enough that he can have seconds or I put it all away before he gets too much.

He had to go on a 6 mile road march this morning though, so I think he's worked it all off.

And, it's been so hot, he's had to water the garden twice a day. He also made some zucchini today and parts of it were hollow. What does that mean?

I'm sad my vacation is drawing to a close but I have started to miss him. It'll be nice to cuddle next to him at night again.

Pictures from our beach trip coming soon. Two words-face plant. Stay tuned for the story (and video if I can figure it out).
