Thanksgiving

Devin's sister Leslie came to visit us for Thanksgiving! It was so nice having her here and the twins loved having their Aunt around.

We were able to spend a day in Portland seeing the Japanese gardens and the Portland LDS Temple, go to Silver Falls, and take a tour of covered bridges.

Thanks Leslie for coming! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Silly Kids

Since it has been raining a lot, we have been spending a lot of time inside. This has really brought out Lindsey and Dylan's silly sides. Here are a few silly moments we have enjoyed:)


This picture doesn't truly capture the moment... but Lindsey got behind Dylan and they both started laughing and squishing each other. It was a fun moment and I loved seeing them playing and laughing together. Priceless.

I came out of the other room to find that Dylan had taken his shirt off and put his hat on running around the living room.

This is what happens when I don't pay full attention for a few seconds:)

Mary's Peak Adventure

One afternoon the Twins and I decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and go up to Mary's Peak. It was beautiful and refreshing and so worth huffing and puffing up the trail pushing the twins.

It was a little windy up there :)

We had a little picinic at the top.

Jack-o-Lantern

Our first time carving pumpkins together.

Halloween

We have had such a fun Halloween season (if you call it that). We went to a pumpkin patch where we road on a hay wagon to this field and they dropped us off and let us pick a pumpkin and then came and got us. The twins had such fun time.

We then had a fun time trick or treating with some friends of ours. The twins really started to get into it.

This is our friend Brenden who came with us. He and Lindsey are great friends. At church on Sunday they were holding hands on the way to nursery. Too cute:)

Random Happenings

My goal was to try and be more on the ball with posting like my awesome sister in-laws who are now doing two-three blogs a week. I don't know how they do it. I can't get motivated for some reason. So this post has random things that have happened the last few weeks. Across the street from our house.

One afternoon the twins and I decided to go on a ride on the country roads around our house. I thought this picture was unique with the side mirror showing the road behind us.

One morning Lindsey had been carrying her doll around the house. It was time for breakfast so I told her to go put her baby doll down for a nap. I came into the living room to see that she had dumped the cars out of this bin and put her sleeping baby in it . Too cute!!!!! Such a girl:)

I celebrated my Birthday with my sweet family. Devin made a delicous dinner and got this yummy red velvet cake.

The twins waiting for me to sit down so they can pray.

Lastly, I have been in the baking mood lately. These cinnamon rolls were fun to make and the outcome was so delicious:)

Sweet Grandpa

Here are some adorable pictures with Dylan and Grandpa Pehrson when we visited in September.

For Your Entertainment

Here are some videos from the last few months. I do have to state on video number 2 that Lindsey has never done this again and it is not encouraged... did make for a cute video though.

Random Fun

The Twins and I have been having fun the last few weeks finding new summer activities to do. Here are some pics from our fun.

Cute picture of Lindsey!

Handsome Dylan.

Newport Beach

We went to the beach on Saturday which is about an hour from where we live. It was so much fun! Dylan has never been so happy for so long. He loved running into the freezing ocean water and watching the waves. Lindsey was happy playing in the sand at first and eventually enjoyed running around on the beach. The happiest of the Lucas clan was our dog Lexie who ran, played and splashed in the water. We are so excited to live so close the ocean and hope this will be a frequent place to spend our days. (I have lots of pictures up... couldn't decide on what pictures where the best. There were to many:)

Dylan being "buried". He thought this was the funniest thing ever!
