One Sunday when both Shawn and I had to teach our seperate classes I ended up getting a helper with my Sunbeam class...
I am just happy that Shawn only has to teach once every other month!

Cannon Beach and The Portland Zoo
Looking back through my May pictures I realized that I did not post our family beach trip to Cannon Beach and our fun and wet day at the Portland Zoo.
Shawn had a free Saturday and did not need to spend all day at school doing lab work so we took advantage of that and headed Northwest to Cannon Beach. It was a warm sunny day and Callie loved playing in the sand...until she realized there was water and after that we could not get her out of the cold ocean. We had a great beach day together and cant wait to go back.
Callie and I also joined My Mom, Savannah, and cousin Porter for a wet day at the Portland Zoo. Callie had not been to the zoo yet and we decided to venture out even though there were a few clouds in the sky. It ended up raining a majority of the day but since we are from Oregon we just put on our hoods and went for it anyways and ended up having a great day checking out all of the animals.

Cousins!
Shawn's 27th Birthday
We celebrated Shawn's 27th birthday on June 7th. Callie and I went to the Dental School and met Shawn for lunch and snuck and decorated his locker with pictures, signs, and balloons. Then when he got home from school we had a special dinner, opened presents, and ate some German chocolate cake. Shawn is such a great student, husband, and father-we love him!
Callie's first American Girl Doll
Last year when we found out that we were having a girl my mom went and ordered a Bitty Baby from the American Girl catalog and decided to give it to Callie on her first birthday. When I was younger I loved the American Girl books and dolls and had few of them myself and I hope Callie loves them as much as I did growing up. Callie is a very good mommy to her baby doll and carries it all around the house and gives it lots of hugs and kisses.

So excited to see her baby doll

Callie's First Birthday
Cant believe that my baby is 1 years old. To celebrate we had a big birthday party with lots of family and friends. We had a taco party with a pinata and cupcakes for dessert.

She was not too happy when the cupcake was finished but we had to go take a bath and get cleaned up for presents
She loved opening her birthday presents and got lots of great gifts from everyone
Callie's birthday invitation that we sent out to everyone
Alot has happened this last year with moving to Oregon 2 weeks after Callie was born , starting Dental School, and having this amazing little lady join our family. She has brought so much joy and happiness into our lives!
We try to take advantage of warm days and head outside
We have not had to many hot days yet but when we do we head outside and let this little water baby play with her water table and in her little pool. She also discovered that she LOVES watermelon.
Cabin Trip
Shawn had an extra long weekend over Memorial Day weekend with no school on Friday and Monday. So we invited some friends from the Dental School and headed up to grandpa's cabin in the mountains. We had such a great time together with everyone. We had 8 adults and 6 little kids 3 and under. Callie loved the cabin and spent most her time outside collecting rocks and pine needles. We also went to the fish hatchery, took a hike to the Head of the Metolius River, went to the Camp Sherman Store, and went into Sisters.
