Well, I graduated today...

There was a whole ceremony and stuff but the fun is what came after the graduation!!

To start off the day my diploma and I played cards.

 Then we baked some cookies.

 We watched some t.v. together.

 I let the diploma listen to our babies heartbeat.

 And to finish off the day we snuggled!

Look at the fun you all missed out on! 

More of our baby!

We put pictures up on our fridge of the little guy and our favorite names around him. Our favorites though are Vaughn, Zander and Corbin. Every once in awhile we just randomly snatch one off and slam dunk it in the trash. It's a fun way to pick the name :)

 This one is actually kind of creepy because it's his little face but all I see is a creepy skull.

 This one is my favorite because you can actually see his profile!! He has a little human face! I can see his nose and big pouty lips and his little ear! He has a cute little belly too! I'm in love.

 This one is crazy awesome, he pushed my belly and we were able to see his whole hand! He's waving at me!!

The newest little family member!

He's a boy!!!
I'm sorry the skype didn't work but I took pictures of our ultrasound for you guys!

So far we have some names we like: Vaughn, Carter, Hunter, Cooper, Cole, Max,  Derek, Luke, Keith, Dean, Heath, Tanner, Nate, Blaise, Xander, Blake, Brock, Knox, Ash, Corbyn, Quincy, Reid, Tristan.

I got the packages!

Yankee Doodle Dandy

 So, Matt and I went to Cannon Beach, Oregon for the 4th of July. We went with his family.

Haystack rock is the most notable landmark on the beach.

When the tide was low, there were tide pools right by the rocks that we could walk around. Lots of starfish Actually they are called "Sea Stars" as are not fish (buckle up, you are going to be learning lots on this voyage!)

This intersection is supposed to be haunted by a logger who was killed in the 1940s during a forest fire.

We went to a neighboring city called Seaside to watch fireworks. Aerial fireworks were allowed on the beach and everyone was doing them. It was like a 2 hour fireworks show all around us! While we were waiting, Matt and I played sand pictionary.

Seaside is also important because that was where Lewis and Clark ended their Westward Expedition.

I didn't know that until we got there, but in 1st grade we learn about Lewis and Clark, so I was excited!

We also went to the Tillamook Cheese Factory and saw how cheese was made. We ate ice cream while we toured and got lots of cheese samples.

Nearby, there was a Cape Meares Lighthouse (different than the Tillamook Rock lighthouse) that Matt and I went in. Its really stubby looking, but it is on a very high cliff. It was a very steep hike to it.

It was so beautiful there! Very different from other beaches I have been too.
