Yesterday at Jamison Square

Isabella, Jack and I had lunch with Travis and then headed down to Jamison Square to have ice cream from Cool Moon! I ordered a wonderful ginger ice cream shown here, Jack ate most of it...but it was still wonderful. Isabella ordered an equally good ginger chai ice cream and ate all of it herself, even after dropping it on the stone steps and picking it back up. She also got to "play" in the water at the park. We met Heidi at her work and by that time Isabella only had on her panties because she had soaked her jeans in the water.

Lesson to self...never roll up a pair of pants on a 3 year old, they will just wade deeper into what ever body of water is near.

Big Boy Shoes

Jack got a new pair of shoes yesterday, he is a big boy now and so he needed some real shoes to go outside in. He loves his shoes!

Jack's Big Boy Cut

Abigail and her friends Homecoming 2008

Here is the only picture that we have of Abigail in her lovely dress for Homecoming. The girls all went together, who needs dates when you can get dressed up, go to dinner, and dance your shoes off with your girlfriends?

Jack's first BIG BOY haircut

Photos to follow.....Jack got his first real haircut today! With the manly clippers and all. He did great sitting on the kitchen table while I "buzzed" his beautiful blonde locks off onto the floor. A nice clean cut boy is perfect! No more hair over the ears or collar for Jack, it's all high and tight now!

Ice Cream

Some friends brought in some wonderful ice cream last week.....lemon lavender.....from Cool Moon ice cream. What an amazing treat!! I think we will need to go and check it out, its right next to one of our favorite coffee shops Sip N Kranz up at Jamison Square in Portland.

Friends Pic

A bunch of my friends from work went on a little adventure with Ecola Hills winery to the Seahawks game today!! They sent me a little photo of the stadium so I thought since I have never been there I would share it with all of you too. We have talked about going, it just hasn't happened yet. I am sure it will sooner than later. Seattle won by the way.

The Silly Side.....

In true Talbot style, Paige makes the same face that her dad makes when you want him to take a picture. I know that this will make her happy or at least bring a laugh.

Jack

Thank you to Travis for sending these cute pictures of Jack taken tonight while Paige and Colin figured out the whole "flower" thing. More to come of Jack's new big boy haircut.....it finally happened yesterday

Paige and Colin Homecoming

Ok the last one is a little dark but I may be able to fix it at home!! I am at work but wanted to post these beautiful photos of Paige and Colin taken this evening. I haven't even heard if they had a good time or not....come on they had a great time if they were together. We sure will miss having Colin around so much once he leaves for U of O on Wednesday!!

Homecoming 2008

So here it is Homecoming 2008, and both of the girls are now in high school.....what the heck! I am sure I am not ready for this, but here it is. So there will be dresses and hair and makeup done this afternoon, all for a couple of pictures, shoes kicked off at the dance and a dinner that won't be as good as they want it to. Good times.....pictures to follow.

One from a friend!

This one was taken by my friend Amy yesterday at the Commons!! Very sweet.....thank you Amy!!
