Got Crab?

Jacob, JJ, Mike, Tyler and I took a little trip to the Oregon Coast for my birthday! 

We even got to go crabbing ... capturing the moment with my kids on the water with a brand new experience for us was priceless.

Oh ~ please take a close look at my infamous pink rain boots ... do you see the white duct tape heart and star?  The are covering up a hole.  I was SO bummed ... this is their last horrah.  RIP, pink boots.

Is life good? Hell yeah!

We caught some crabs, a funny fish, and got a personal tour of The Cannery got to sample freshly smoked ahi!  The kids pose for the camera, above :)

 

What could be better than a pure, wholesome adventure with some Winchester Bay locals and your true loves?

Gratitude! Thanks! Appreciation!

Here I sit in my son's first house far from our Denver home.  We just cut up bread, onions and celery in preparation for our Spearfish Shed Stuffing we got a few years ago while spending Thanksgiving with Grandma Welker.  Although everything around us is new ... we are here together with familiar smiles and old stories told for the um-teenth time :)  I am so grateful for this opportunity to spend this holiday with Jakie and JJ, Clay and Casey in Eugene. 

This IS what life is for.  For the things so simple and precious! 

I also wanted to share a new photo of Santiago with his new ribbons ... cool, eh?

With love and gratitude to turkey and stuffing, Spiderman and Georgie, sunshine and blue skies,
