Oyster Fest and Ocean Shores















The first weekend of October is always Oyster Fest in Shelton, WA. This year we went with my mom, brother, nephew, brother's girlfriend, and Brandon's parents. We enjoyed wonderful weather and ate lots of yummy seafood. Jackson got to ride his first horse and he took a trip around the fairgrounds in a little train attached to a mower. Preston fished for the first time (in a kiddy pool). He almost fell in once but Grandpa saved him. In the afternoon, we headed down to the ocean. We flew kites and played on the beach. My mom, I think, flew her first kite. Jackson and Brandon splashed in the water. I am thankful I brought another set of clothes for Jackson. We ended the day at Brandon's parents eating pizza. Good Times!

Jackson's 4th Birthday and Fair Adventures




In the past few months we have attended numerous fairs over Washington State and celebrated Jackson's 4th birthday. We attended the Kitsap, Walla Walla, and Puyallup fairs. The pictures are from the Walla Walla fair. I wasn't feeling well so Preston and I stayed back at the house but Corey, Jillian, Brandon, and Jackson had a good time. Jackson had three fun celebrations for his birthday. The first one was at our house with 15 kids. The second was with Grandma and Grandpa at Chucky Cheese, and the last one was with all of my family and Brandon's parents at Oyster Fest and the ocean. He keeps asking if it is his birthday again. Too much of a good thing I guess!
