To the Happy Couple!

Congratulations to Jeremy and Jessica!

We love you both!

Last weekend Nathan's little bro Jeremy got married! AWWW! It was a beautiful, sunny, SoCal location, in a backyard in Newport overlooking the back bay. We had the honor of being in the wedding party and especially enjoyed the opportunity to walk down the isle arm-in-arm again (thanks Jess)! All four Hynum siblings were reunited, including little sis Beth Anne all the way from Paris! It was so good to see all the extended family again too! What a blast!

Give me S'more!

We spent this father's day on our first campout of the year, and even though it was pretty chilly at the coast, we would go again tomorrow...as long as we had the Dominguez' and the Tinnin's with us again! We totally love these guys and we had so much fun we might just have to make this into a yearly tradition (well, at least whenever we're home to visit) Take a look at all the fun we had...

Thank you CPK!

So get this...last Thursday we went to California Pizza Kitchen with 2 of their "lottery" style coupons, the kind that are in a sealed envelope until a manager opens it and reveals what you have won. The first coupon was a free dinner for 2! So that paid for our meal plus extras for the kids.
The second one was...Dinner for 6! But we had to use it before the promotion ended on Monday. Right away we called up two couples that we had recently met and wanted to get to know better, the Arnold's and the Handley's.
We can honestly say we haven't had so much fun since New Years '06 at the Vanderschuit's (those of you who were there know that's hard to beat) We left on a total high from laughing and talking and we were blown away by how much everyone had in common! I mean everyone had at least one connection to each other person. By the end of the evening it felt like we had all been friends for years! If we didn't have to pick up the kids from the babysitters [which we almost forgot about] we'd probably all still be talking!
And to top it all off...the family that babysat for us was soooooo cool! And that was before Jamie found out the dad was a CIA trained chef who has worked for Bobby Flay!
(To foodies that means he might as well be superman!)
Thank you CPK for an awesome night with awesome new friends!

Sunshine Day!

Although we have enjoyed our time here in Portland, one thing we are looking forward to is more sunshine. Last Sunday was the first sunny day we've had in a while, so after church we packed up a picnic and headed out to the park! We stayed outside all day long to soak up as much of those rays as we could! It was fabulous! The day was topped off with a BBQ on our back deck with our family...what a day! Check out this video, it says it all!
