Here's one more video from our time at the beach, Amanda and Dan's perspective on the wave "avoidance...."
This was such a highlight of our trip that I couldn't resist making the addition. (And plus I had to show off the new editing technique I learned today [rotating the video]....Thanks again Annie B!)

Summertime Fun 2010 (Part 2)
...The highlights continue...
Day 4:
(July 5, 2010)
Off to the ocean for us today. We took a detour (missed the highway we needed) so added an hour to our trip. We stopped for directions and received three options to take; back tracking the way we came, 70+ miles out of the way (already about 40 out of the way), or heading along a different highway a couple miles ahead. We'll take curtain #3 please.
Saw beautiful landscapes along the way and sang along to John Denver songs. Amanda even tried feeding broccoli to a duck but the duck wasn't interested. Hmmmmm......
We arrived in Seaside, Oregon and the first thing on the agenda was lunch.
After our bellies were full we headed to the beach. Odd to have bare feet in the ocean with rolled up jeans and jackets on.
Next door to the taffy store was an ice cream store with $.75 cones! Amanda and I each had a double for only $1.25.
A fantastic vacation spot! All three of us fell in love with Seaside and I suspect we'll be returning in the future, hope so anyway...

We went into the Salt Water Taffy Outlet more than once. They have 170+ flavors of taffy so it took more than one look to decide which flavors to take home. We each spun the "Wheel of Fortune" to see if we'd win a prize. This trip I was the only winner in the group!
A fantastic vacation spot! All three of us fell in love with Seaside and I suspect we'll be returning in the future, hope so anyway...

Summertime Fun 2010 (Part 1)
Highlights from our vacation to Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington. We stayed with Uncle Harold & Aunt Marilyn Horrocks in Vancouver and had the chance to visit with Leann and Aunt Renee Horrocks in addition to the others mentioned. Uncle Harold and Aunt Marilyn kept us well rested, fed, and entertained the whole time we where there.
DAY 1:
(July 2, 2010)
The drive was pretty right along the Columbia River and the Lewis & Clark trail majority of the way. Great weather till rain in Portland.
Stopped here on our way to Portland to get Amanda. Had some time to kill since her flight was delayed. See the bridge? We “hiked” to that to stretch our legs. Saw a family from our ward here too!
DAY 2:
(July 3, 2010)
Took the train into downtown Portland to go to the Saturday Market.
We were lucky enough to transfer trains in a different part of Downtown Portland. Good thing the train came when it did or some serious cash might have been spent!
Uncle Harold’s parting words to us were, “Don’t buy a pot pipe.” (We thought about looking and purchasing one since Sid purchased a ceremonial, Native American pipe on his mission but we refrained.) A clue as to what to expect at the Saturday Market and a true one at that; lots of art, hippie, & random craft vendors. There were street musicians, break dancers, and even a man spouting about souls that need saving. Lots of interesting people to watch and things to see.
Happy B-day America! We attended Uncle Harold and Aunt Marilyn's ward with them at 1:00 pm. When we came home Randy, Susan, Kayla, Carly, and Kade Plessinger were there (as well as Kayla's roommate Amber) and dinner was almost ready. Teresa and Justin Green came too (Ed had Bishop duties and wasn't feeling well so he couldn't make it). We ate, visited, laughed. Around 9:30 Kade put on a fireworks show. When we got outside there were fireworks going on all around the house. Amanda got on the roof & said it she didn't know where to look to view them. No need to go down & pay to see a fireworks show (as Vancouver was doing this year) the show was great where we were!

Despite the delay we picked up Amanda then headed to Uncle Harold and Aunt Marilyn's home. After some dinner we learned how to play the card game "Garbage."
And also learned how to play "Five Crowns." Both were very fun and I suspect we'll be playing them again in the future.

Greetings One and All
Amanda gave me these great trees for Christmas. They have had lots of use so far. Even though they aren't perfect trees and I'm fighting the wind with everything I put up (once even fighting the wind to keep the tree itself upright). It has been fun finding creative ways to welcome people to our home each season.
For Dan's birthday. (Previously posted here.)
Our current decor.
I had glittery, styrofoam eggs on the tress for Easter but didn't think to take a picture.
(Too bad there's not an outlet close to our front door or they would be lit up not just decorated.)

I Thought I Made Myself Very Clear...
So Dan and I share a Facebook page. He keeps suggesting that we have our own. After the recent confusion with birthday greetings on HIS birthday, I'm starting to think it might be a good idea. After reviewing these comments from Facebook, let me know what you think...(Names have been eliminated to protect the innocent, and unobservant. Repeated messages are just as they appeared on FB.)
Here I try to correct the confusion...(Attempt #2)
The messages continue (and so does the confusion apparently):
Here was my message on our FB page a couple days later:
- Dear Dan: "Tomorrow is a special day, it's birthday time for you. I'm really glad to celebrate your happy day with you! Zip-a-dee-ay and heigh-dee-ho Here's something I can do. I'll sing a song that we all know, Happy Birthday to YOU!" Love, JaNae (Message I put on our status the day before Dan's birthday with the intent to make it clear it was Dan's birthday.)
- Happy Birthday Danno!!!
- HB good buddy....dang...you're gettin old!
- Happy Birthday from the land of ice and snow.
- Enjoy your day!
- Dude! Happy B-day! (zippercheck)
- Happy Birthday to YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU! Wecome to the new Washingtonians!...Enjoy your day JaNae!!! Hi to the " Cuz Danster!"
- Happy Birthday, Janae!
- Happy Happy Birthday to you Janae. I miss all your songs for birthdays, Miss see you but am glad that we are on FB together so I can see how happy you are. Miss you Have a super fantastic day.
- Happy Birthday JaNae!
- Happy Birthday JaNae!
- Have a happy birthday!
- Happy Btrthday JaNae! You look sooooo happy. Have a great day.
- have a great birthday!!
- Happy birthday DAN--I think. ;-) Hope you are having a good day.
- HaPpY BiRtHdAy to you ... put a GOLD star on your forehead...Enjoy your DAY!!!
- Happy Birthday JaNae! Have a great day!
- Happy Birthday!

- Dear Dad (stop).
Today is YOUR birthday, not JaNae's (stop).
I hope people get the hang of it soon (stop).
Otherwise JaNae will think YOU are supposed to get HER something (stop).
And that's cruel and unusual punishment on your birthday (stop).
...Love (stop).

- Happy Birthday JaNae! I hope you're having a great one!
The messages continue (and so does the confusion apparently):
- Hope you have a super happy birthday!!!
- Hope you have a wonderful Birthday Janae!
- Happy birthday, JaNae! Hope it was a good one!
- Happy Birthday! I still remember that lovely singing Elephant birthday card you sent...I send it often and think of you. " Happy Birthday song" just for you Janae! ;^)
- Happy Birthday Sister Horrocks I hope you had a awesome birthday
- Happy bday!
- Happy Birthday!
- i am not sure but isnt it Dans birthday today????? I am going to have to say yes. Hope you had a great day Dan (Yes, yes it is! Haven't the messages from Dan's wife and daughter clarified things yet?)
- Happy B-day...no matter who's birthday it is ;-) In my world, anyone having a birthday means it is a day for a party! Wahoo! xoxoxoxo (Smart girl, just gave a generic birthday greeting regardless of who's day it was, way to play it safe!)
Here was my message on our FB page a couple days later:
- Thank you for all the birthday wishes. It was Dan's birthday and I think he had a great day. We chuckled at the confusion, sorry about that.
