{ the OR coast }

Life's been crazy busy lately!  Which is why I'm just now blogging about our trip to the coast last weekend !  here's our trip in pics...

this picture has no significance other than the fact that we finally got a new (to us) car that is an automatic.  After both driving a manual 5 speed for years, this means that we can now hold hands and drive.  it's the little things in life, right?

my darling nephew jack and adorable niece tatum

tatum with her new hoop earrings ! she's growing up so fast! her and grandma had matching earrings.  this is my favorite pic from the whole weekend !

we relaxed a LOT and actually had fun cooking a few meals :) 

My darling mom

we loved watching the wildlife from the back porch!

my handsome, sweet, {huge} nephew Luke!

the summer has been crazy and life is hectic, but this was a nice relaxing weekend away. 

we thrift shopped, walked on the beach and just hung out.

Have a great weekend everyone!  Oh, and head on over to Blonde at Heart {one of my favorite blogs!} to check out my very first guest post!  I was so excited when she asked me to do it!
There are some more ideas on there about re-nesting shutters, so check it out!
