Egg Fun and Waterfalls

We traveled to Silver Creek Falls this weekend for a nice little hike. Here are the boys at the top of the falls watching the water go over. I just love Kyler's curls in these pictures.


The boys right under the falls It was pretty steep, I am one tough momma! (Perry actually pushed pretty much the entire way. I was holding it for him so he could take some pictures.)
Throwing Rocks in the river... watch out Kyler!Kyler being "cool" in Dads hat

Cash and I dyed easter eggs today. Most of them ended up cracked, but he sure had fun.
Cash the scientist
The finished product.
Kyler thinks its too funny that Dad is throwing rocks in the river and splashing him. Yep Kyler is our water baby- aka Nemo. In the video he is laughing so hard he falls over. The river is pretty loud so you cant hear it very well.

Biker Cash and Astoria

This picture was taken at a very windy beach just south of the Columbia River. We got out of the car took some pictures and got back in the car.


The Astoria bridge-- goes over the Columbia River to Washington--You can barely see the ocean in the left side of the picture (the white part are waves crashing- below the clouds of course) the bridge just keeps going and going.. the end is no where near the end of the picture.


Cash and all the boats


Cash sitting on our bed watching the boats before church


Cash watching more boats on the couch-- you can kinda see one boat to the right of his head


The whole gang (well except me the photographer of course) Perry's parents and his little sister Jackie, Uncle Sam and Aunt Anna, the boys, and the dogs.
Cash and Dad at Gearhart beach on the way to Astoria and yes that is Kyler in the background, a lone toddler on the beach slowly walking towards the driftwood- dont worry mom he wasnt as far away as he looks and I was watching him:)
And this was the best moment of the month! After over a year and a half Cash has figured out how to pedal. I went to his open house at the school last week and his teacher and I were talking and she goes look! And there's Cash pedaling away like he has done it his whole life! His therapist and I had just been talking 2 days prior about how wonderful it would be if he would stop "Fred Flinstoning" his bike and just go.... well he did it! He doesn't have the helmet figured out yet, but thats ok. I love the video of him on the bike (he's at his school) because it just shows how much he has improved in just a month of his new diet and of course school. He makes great eye contact, acknowledged that I said hi, and he is working both sides of the brain by pedaling! Go Cash!

And the other video is of Perry of course teasing a sea lion in Astoria. Sea Lions are huge but move extremely fast so of course Perry just had to get as close as he dared.
