Happy Birthday, Ray Ray!

We took a quick trip down to Southern Oregon to celebrate cousin Ray Ray's 4th birthday!










We left on Thursday evening after Scott got off work, dropped Sydney off at my Aunt Peg's (...thanks, Peg and Steve!) ate a quick dinner in Eugene and arrived at Grandma Jan's before we knew it. Tyce and Shay did amazingly well on both the trip down and back :)

Here are some pictures from Aralia's birthday party:

We had a lot of fun at a nearby park before Aralia's party. Tyce was there, too, but spent a lot of time in the car trying to go potty in our portable potty chair (yes, we have a little toilet in the car! ;)













My sisters and I went to downtown Ashland for dinner and a girls' night:




















This picture was taken shortly before we left on Sunday. This is one of Tyce and Shay's favorite things to do...look at pictures or videos on the camera.











Thanks, Grandma Jan, for the wonderful hospitality! We had such a fun time and wish we could've stayed longer. And thanks to Uncle Cory, Aunt Kolleen and Cousin Ray Ray for hosting such a fun birthday party! We're so excited that the next time we see you, we'll be meeting our new baby cousin...we can't wait :) We love you!!
