Family Picture

We enjoyed our Thanksgiving at home this year and managed to get a pretty good family photo taken!

Multnomah Falls

During the last week of my Summer vacation we decided to take a few day trips to try and full fill our Summer to do list. We headed up the George to Multnomah Falls for a short hike. The Falls are always beautiful, even on rainy days. But that day was not rainy at all, it was gorgeous and warm! Wyatt took a ride in the Ergo, enjoyed looking at nature and having a snack during the hike. After our quick trip up the steep path we hiked back to the car and headed a little further into the George, to Hood River and had a great lunch at Full Sail Brewery! It was a great day and a beautiful drive!

Children"s Museum

Summer was coming to a close and one of the things I wanted to do with Wyatt was take him to the Children's Museum. I knew he would love it; but wanted to avoid the crowds because he can get a little wild when he gets excited :) He had a blast! He especially loved the water room and the transportation room; mainly the train table!

MAUI!!!!!!

We got the chance to go to Maui this summer with the whole family; Us 3, Grandma and Grandpa Cook and Auntie Erin. We were there for 11 days and had an amazing time! We played on the beach, we went swimming, snorkeling, hiking, to the aquarium, out to eat and relaxed every day in the sun! Wyatt had an absolute blast! His favorites became playing in the pool and digging in the sand. Here are just a few, of the many, pictures of Wyatt enjoying the Hawaiian sun!

Graduation!

June marked the end of a chapter in the NW Erlandsen's life; Andy finally graduated from medical school! It was a very proud moment for me, after watching him start this adventure, go through the experience, and finally achieve his dream! For the occasion, Andy's parents came to town. We all had a great time celebrating this monumental achievement!

Camping!

In June for my birthday we decided to go camping at the Coast. The weather was nice, which made for an enjoyable time. Wyatt had a great time playing around the campsite, climbing on everything, and doing what boys do best; get dirty! Here are a few pics from the trip!

My Boots!

Wyatt really loves his rain boots. He has 2 pairs and is constantly putting them on and taking them off! Here he is in his Fireman Boots!
