We're gonna party like its your burfday!

Happy 28th Birthday to Stevie-O!!! Even though your Birthday is squished in between mine and your sons, and you think you get the shaft, we still love you and are so happy you were even born!!! oh and my mom and sisters did make you this special cake in your favorite color.



On Steves day we actually drove home from the beach and spent the evening at his moms house playing soccer, and football and having a fun time with Marty, Suzie, Mackenzie and Dan I mean Doug (a little inside humor....)
On my day we hung out one last time with my family and then headed to dinner with Steves dad and came home to have birthday cake. We had a great time visiting family!!





Here is a cute pic of the kids all zoned in on the TV at the hotel as we were loading up to leave for home.

Stevens 6th Birthday.... at the beach

Stevens Birthday was great. We got to be with our family and spend time together. After we got back from taking Steven to breakfast we had family pictures, swam in the pool, went to the beach, had dinner, ate PB cupcakes and partayed! But Stevens favorite day was the day before when he got to go crabbing with the big boys (Steve, Uncle Wes,Uncle Jeremy) and his cousin Westin! He said he loved having dad/son time.

Swimming at the beach

One the kids most favorite things about going to the beach is the pools at the timeshare. The kids LOVE them! Sydney enjoyed swimming with her cousins. Steven was jumping in all over the place (with life vest)and getting over his fear of going underwater. Tori has has always loved the water and has no fear....which kind of scares me. She would jump in from the side and I would let her go all the way under before I got her and every time she would come out of the water with this huge smile and say "Again!" It was so cute! She also loves swimming with her aunts and her "friend" Lauren. Mom got into a tiny little water fight with the boys which resulted in her looking like a drowned rat. No mercy from Jeremy ;)






This is Steve's best whale impression.



These seals were on the rocks right below our front lawn.

Kanooth family Beach trip 2011

We headed up to Washington with our van packed...literally to the max to meet up with everyone and head to the beach. We were all bummed Leif,Rachel, the twins, and Lairen werent going to be able to make it. They are always so much fun!
Tori and Westin enjoying...destroying their donuts before we leave.


The weather at Depoe Bay this year was great considering it didnt rain once! Sunny and warm the first day and sunny and windy cold the next two.
