First part of July

This is my sister Kim. Her husband is in the military and is currently stationed in Korea x 1 year! She decided to pack up her 5 kids and make a road trip from Utah to Eugene. What a good sister huh?! Here she is with my niece Addison meeting Lucy for the first time.
I wish she could have stayed longer. She pulled in on a wed., we went to Florence on Thursday and played at the beach and went Sand Boarding on the sand dunes there. Very fun, and you must try it.
We were both pooped after our beach day, and she had been on the go a lot for this trip that her last day with us we just stayed home and let the kids play. Here are some of the pack playing ino ur back yard. They had a ball on the swing set.
We really enjoyed her visit, and after she pulled out of our drive way to leave, Grant said "Oh mom, now we're alone." It was sad. We miss you guys already!

4th of July

We had a good time going to a BBQ at our friends house. The kids played outside in the water.
Here is Miss Mae sporting her cute swim suite (thanks Vic) and her cool shades.

Grant just relaxing watching the kids play.


My two cowboys. They love to dress up and play together.

Lucy's Blessing weekend

We blessed Lucy in July. My parents drove up from Eastern Oregon. This was the first time my Dad got to see Miss Mae. I think she charmed him. The morning after my parents arrived we decided to go pick blueberry's. Our neighbors/good friends were near us while we picked, and the boys enjoyed having "their girl" helping them pick berrys. We love you Clara.
Jeff and the boys showing our bucket. My parents got about 12.5 lbs and we picked 13.5 lbs. That evening we met up with Jeff's family and ate at a buffet. We had 22 people total eating there. No need to cook and make a mess when you have that as an option.
My Mom made Lucy's blessing dress from her wedding dress. It turned out just perfect. It was exactly what I wanted and fit her perfectly. I didn't have a picture of my Mom dressed up for church holding Lucy, so I made sure to get one after church.
This is Miss Mae in her pretty little dress. She did very well during the blessing. I thought she looked so sweet in her dress.

4 generations of Hedgpeth's. This is Jeff's G-ma, his Mom, him, and Little Lucy.

10 Year Reunion

Oh highschool. Those were the days. We went back to Eastern Oregon for my 10 year reunion. It was a fast weekend for us, and I am still recovering from feeling tired. I had a great time seeing all of my classmates that showed. I really enjoyed seeing everyone's families. I wish I would have taken more pictures, here are just a few that we did catch.

On the right is my good friend since 1st grade. Her little baby is just a few weeks younger than my little Lucy. It was fun to be pregnant at the same time and e-mail and talk with eachother about it. On the Left is my good friend since 7th grade. We didn't know eachother until 7th grade, and for the 1st week of middle school people thought we were the same person, then they thought we must be twins. I would get called her name, and people would ask her questions thinking she was me. We looked a lot alike back then. Funny, I didn't realize we both are wearing black v-neck shirts, guess we're trying to still look alike. haha.
They had a day at the park and you could bring your kids to play, and then in the evening we had a nice dinner with just the students and their spouses/partners. It gave us a chance to really sit and visit without being distracted. I had such a great time.
This is on our way back at a rest stop. The boys needed to walk and stretch their legs.

AWESOME VIDEO

My sister from Utah came to visit me for a few days. It was a BALL. I already miss her. We had a great time. I will post pictures later. She showed me this video before she left and I LOVED it. It's a musician from Utah who put together the Taylor Swift Love Story with Cold Play Viva La Vida because his 7 yr old daughter loved those songs. You've gotta listen to the whole thing. My boys are SO doing piano lessons. Enjoy! Before playing this scroll down and turn off my music on my music player thing.
