My Herring Family: May & some of June

I can't believe that William's 2 months old already! Time's really flying by. We are all so in love with him and enjoying every moment. Even interupted sleep isn't too bad because I know I get to hold him. He's so wonderful and we're all so grateful for him.

We've done a lot of fun things this last month. We:

Welcomed William with a GREAT babyshower. It was hosted by my amazing cousin Dori. Thanks Dori!

Amy's amazing Train cake for William!

We celebrated Memorial Day Weekend with Rebecca & Julia's families. It was so nice and a much needed vacation for Brian. We started out with shopping in Cottage Grove and back to Julia's for pizza for dinner. Then on Memorial Day we had a picnic and horse rides at Bec's new horse boarding barn. It was so gorgeous that day and we all had a nice and relaxing time.

It was Bec's b'day too so we sang her the birthday song and gave her the human birthday card. You just say "happy birthday" :-)

Me and B. What a beautiful couple! :-)

The cousins: Samuel, William, Lilian, Tristan, Micaela, Savannah, Georgia, TJ & Aislyn.

Mic @ swim lessons given to all 2nd graders in the school district. She loved it which was a HUGE accomplishment since she's terrified of water.

Graduated from swimmer's 1 class. YEAH!

Liam's 1st fishing trip. The whole day was free fishing. You didn't need a license. We went to Promatory Park and fished in Small Fry Lake. It's a lake stocked just for kids. It was so so so much fun. We had a blast! We caught 8 fish between our two families and we look forward to our dinner together of fish and chips :-) This day was put on by Clackamas County Fish and Wildlife. They had a hot dog lunch provided and activities, aside from fishing, for the kids. It was a great day! Great memories with Great friends!

Mic's 1st fishing trip too.

What a GREAT day!

These pics are from the Grad Party for Daro and Taryn and there friends Matthew and Sebastiao (Ev's foreign exchange student). It was so much fun and there was tons of food and I ate WAY too much and made myself sick. But it was worth it. :-)

The BEST cake on earth! I don't even like cake but when they do the frosting out of cheesecake I'll eat way too much! It was sooooo...GOOD!

One of the baskets I made for the guests of honor for there cards that people brought. The frame had their pics and their names around the edge. It actually turned out totally cute but the pic's not that great. It was fun making them and they were very affordable. Everything from the dollar tree! My favorite store!
