Seaside Oregon

 

bulletTim's Mom celebrated her 60th Birthday on July 4th!  

Yep, she's a firecracker baby!  

(I KNOW!  She looks so YOUNG!)

bulletHere's just a few photos from our yearly gathering.  
bullet I am sorry I didn't get a better "photo album" together to share...

I hope that some of the other family members can help me fill in the HUGE gap! 

bulletI missed lots of folks and events! (I promise I'll add more photos if more are provided.)

Seaside Oregon was this year's location. We rented two great beach houses and all our families had plenty of room to relax and enjoy each other's company. The sun was shining, the beach was inviting, the fireworks were amazing...and I spent the entire 5 days CRAZED with worry!  I kept thinking, "I should be doing more to help out!  There's SO many of us and they're all on vacation too!  What can I do to help more?  Who's with our kids?  Are they into something?  Are they 'bothering' anyone?!  Perhaps I should help make dinner?  Oh, I could pick up some of the mess.  Hey, where's that vacuum...?"

Naturally, I was making MYSELF crazy.  It was a fantastic vacation -- Tim was great helping with our kids!  Heck!  I couldn't ask for more!

bullet

Alas, I just couldn't stop worrying about every little detail!

bullet

So, NEXT year I'll try to relax more...

*giggle*
