Wedding Weekend for Sara and Corky

I know you've been waiting to see these wedding weekend pictures!! I got everything I needed except from one friend, who got some amazing photos of Mike and myself, but I forgive him due to circumstances :) Will hopefully post those later!

Without further ado...

The wedding party BBQ Friday night.
Overlooking the bluff towards the Willamette River. Could also see the trains crossing the bridge from here, which thrilled Jake to no end.
All the bridesmaids and Sara, the bride (in white shirt).
Yum, smores! There were even vegan marshmallows!!




Rehearsal dinner on Saturday evening.
The actual rehearsal was on the 4th floor of a parking garage. It was actually pretty cool.

Bridesmaids.

The dinner and speeches were on the 5th floor rooftop.
There's Mike in the middle! (I was sitting at the head table.)

Wedding Day! Sunday afternoon/evening.
The beautiful bride, my friend Sara.

Oregon Country Fair, Year 3

This year our OCF experience included camping the weekend at Zumwalt Park. We joined 8 other families and had a blast! There were lots of kids, good food, and good company. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't quite as cooperative, as it was cooler than expected and thunderstorms drove us away from the fair on Sunday. Nevertheless, we are planning next year's camping/fair event!
(These are only some of the 128 pictures I took over the weekend! The full album is on FB.)

Arrival and set-up on Thursday.
Dyed-hair girls.
Swimming in the lake.
Baby-belly buddies.

The community area.
Three nights sleeping in a tent...
Green-hair buddies. These two had such a great time all weekend. Max is just 4 months older than Jake.
At the fair on Friday... Mike was happy to go get his favorite salmon burger.
Wrestling playmates.
A photo of Mommy by Jake.
Hippypotomus.
Chocolate coconut bliss ice cream!!!

Back at the campsite... iPhone love. (No, not ours.)
Napping buddies.

An attempt to take a picture of all the kids. Didn't work.
Last day... packing up and eating.
Pink ladies.

The rain came...
Heading home.

Some Entertainment

I know you are all waiting for wedding weekend pictures, but you'll have to wait some more. Apparently my brain was not working and I took ZERO pictures of myself and Mike looking pretty. But I know other people did, so I'm waiting for them to send pictures to me.

In the meantime, I'll entertain you with the following pictures:

Playing at the playground right before naptime, so he was tired.



I was shocked to see these raccoons in our backyard.
Turned out to be a mother with THREE babies.
Thank goodness my cats were inside. I hope they were going somewhere far away.
And one of my sweet, sweet boy.

Raspberries!

Raspberry season *just* opened in Oregon so we went to get some of the first of the red jewels. Yum. We got just about 6 pounds on this trip. Will go again later for more!


And also, for my berry-picking records, Mike and I picked 8 pounds of blueberries less than a week prior.

Happy 4th of July!

Busy, busy weekend for us. My best friend, Sara, is getting married on Sunday and we started the first of 3 nights of parties last night. Fun, fun!! I've been too busy to do the picture-taking, but others have been taking lots so I hope to get a few from other people to post.

Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe 4th! Happy birthday, USA!
