Eye Doctor

A few weeks back, I took Sage to the eye doctor. When she was born, she had dark spots on the whites of her eye. At her 3 year check-up, they seem to be a bit more noticeable. Dr. Elia suggested we got see a pediatric ophthalmologist up at OHSU to make sure they weren’t anything serious. Turns out, they are basically ‘freckles’ on her eyes and that she shouldn’t have any problems with vision or anything later in life. The only thing that was suggested was to wear sunglasses when outside.

I was so impressed with Sage and how she acted at the appointment. She did all of the tests so easily and loved going out to the waiting room to see the fishes. I am such a proud mom when she does so well at the doctors! Glad it ended up being nothing to worry about!

Here are a few very cute pictures :)

Birthday Celebrations

This past month has been a month full of birthday celebrations!!

On September 27th, we celebrated Mac's second birthday at the pumpkin patch! It was our first visit of the season and we had a great time.

Then we celebrated Finn's 1st birthday on October 1st over at the Bales house with cupcakes. That following Saturday, we celebrated at his first birthday party at Baggenstos pumpkin patch. We got another fun hay ride and more pumpkins to bring home. Both kids loved this place!

On October 11th, we celebrated Nolan's 3rd birthday at Tigard Play-park. This was a gym filled with all kinds of kids toys and play structures. We only brought Sage, as Evan was home sick with Grandma and Grandpa. It was a pretty cool spot to let the kids run wild!

On October 12th, we celebrated Laila's 3rd birthday at Build-a-Bear in the mall! This was pretty fun- Sage got to pick out a bear to name, stuff and dress up! She had a lot of fun doing that. 

PHEW!! We got through them all! Lots of birthday's for all the little special friends in our life! Happy Birthday to Mac, Finn, Nolan and Laila! We love you all little ones :)

Brushing Teeth

Sage does such a great job brushing her teeth! She is using a big girl toothbrush and toothpaste and is learning to rinse and spit! She watches herself in the mirror and all the “bubbles” the toothpaste creates. And it’s pink- an added bonus!

And naturally, Evan must be doing the same thing. He brushes his teeth and pretends to spit too. It’s probably one of my favorite parts of our morning routine. Getting them dressed is a very different story J

Duck Game

Brad and I were able to make it down to a Duck game this year, thanks to Mike and Lynda letting us have their tickets while they traveled!
I hadn't been to a game in two years! (how did that happen!?!) We had a lot of fun. We tailgated in a new spot- the Boy Scouts field and Autzen is very different with all kinds of changes! It was fun seeing it all.
We went down with our friends Ariel and Ben and had a good time tailgating and watching the Duck game.
Now, if only the outcome of the game was different, then it would have been perfect :(

Sick Days

The kids have not been feeling all that well the past two weeks. There was a day or two that Sage was not allowed at school because she had a runny nose! Bummer!
Evan never got to the point where he needed to miss school.
I brought Sage into work with me for a little bit on the one day I had to go pick her up! She had fun hanging out with me, pretending to work like me, on her iPad playing her "puzzle game"!
Here are a few pictures!
