Summer So Far In A Nutshell

Hi everyone. How has it been?

We've just been residing here in my parents home for the last week while they are out of town. There is something unbelievably wonderful about not sharing walls, having a dishwasher, and and washer and dryer at your disposal. Not to mention the air conditioning although we've only been able to use that for a couple days since the weather in Seattle has been FUNKY. They are gone for two more weeks and we originally were only going to stay one but I think we might be getting use to this house thing. Time to find a new house, maybe? I think so.

Do you wonder what has been going on with the Heff's? I'll share some highlights since I am sure you are sick of looking at the pictures of Disneyland.

The Marriage Celebration Trip
I made a quick trip down to Utah to celebrate one of my favorite persons in the world nuptials. You might remember when I did a post a while back about finding love and I had a few initials referring to my friends who were still looking for love. She is the K in the K I referred to in the post. Dreams do come true and good things come to those who wait, so that is why I never give up my hope for my friends that are still looking for love out there.

Aren't they cute? They are a fantastic match for each other. 

We had a girly sleep over the first night I got there and stayed up talk, talk, talking until like 4am and then the next day I was reminded that I am way too old for that lifestyle but would not have had it any other way. Scott had Cash for the weekend so I was baby free. It was glorious and the time away was refreshing. Thankful Scott is fully capable and willing to do that for Team Heffernan.

Oregon Coast
We spent the 4th with Sarah/Rush, Rik/Eva & co in Netarts, OR. We rented a big house and just had a relaxing him talking and laughing. We don't get to see Rush and Sarah enough so it was dreamy to have such an extended amount of time hanging with them.

We drove over lots of bridges.

 The view from our back porch. Not to shabby.

Among many things, we saw some people cutting the cheese at the Tillamook Cheese Factory. I felt like I watching Sesame Street where they show you how things are made. It was fun but I thought it was going to be bigger and I had hoped to get to wear a hair net and shoe protectors, and walk around in a line with a tour guide wearing a microphone so we could all hear him while he made wild arm movements, spitting out interesting facts that I couldn't consume fast enough about cheese and the amount of product they pump out in that place a day. It didn't happen. SIGH. Although I was too lazy to read the boards they had posted around. I guess I am a audio-visual learner. Here is a picture of the assembly line which had me hypnotized. I could watch that machine run for hours and not get bored. Maybe I am in the wrong profession?

Cash got plenty of time with his aunt Rush. They are bffs now. 

I send Rush pix of the man regularly so she doesn't miss too much. 

We love being with these two. 

(I don't have a picture of the Croasdee's but we love being with them too.)

Cash is already into wrestling his friends. 

Body slam on Welles who was a good sport. 

The weather was great the whole weekend too. Fun, fun trip. 

The Oregon coast is gorgeous.

Swinging

We're getting really good it. 

Clapping while swinging = true joy

Cousin reverse spider swinging = brilliant

Thirty-One
Scott had a birthday. We celebrated by getting beef sukiyaki and sushi. I love this man. I am lucky to get to grow old along side him.

That's all for now folks. I'll try to not stay away so long next time around.
