New Ride

Beckett has a new ride these days.  Our neighbor, Bob, brought Beckett a new wagon!

 He loves it! 

Evening at the Beach

This evening we headed down to the beach.

It was low tide, so Beckett and Daddy played in the tide pools.

Beckett even got to touch a starfish!

Pure Enjoyment!

What a great way to end the day. :)

Up at the Table

We said goodbye to Beckett's high chair this week!  Beckett is officially sitting at the table with us.

Beckett seems to love sitting up with the rest of us.  What a big boy he is!

Hanging Around the House

Today Beckett and I stayed home all day and played around the house.  Beckett spent some time coloring this morning. 

Then this afternoon we cooked up some playdough.

Beckett sure knows his way around the kitchen.

Then it was time to play with the playdough. 

Here he is in action...

19 Months Old

Yesterday Beckett turned 19 months old.

 We took him to the park to play.

 Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

 He is so much fun these days!

Labor Day 2011 Camping Trip

For Labor Day, the Lundes headed to Howard's Prairie for a camping trip. 

This was Beckett's second camping trip and he was quite the pro!

 He was an expert at putting up the tents, with Grandma's help of course!!

 Dad was the expert fire maker.

 Snuggling up around the campfire is always the best!

 On Saturday we set out for a hike. 

 We hiked 4.6 miles, around part of the lake.

 Beckett and Grandma goofed off a little bit, along the way. 

 After all that hiking, we headed down to the lake to cool off. 

 The boys had a great time boating.

 Grant had tried fishing two times at Howard's Prairie in the past, but never had any luck.  He thought maybe the third time would be the charm. 

 Beckett and Momma cheered Daddy on!

 And Daddy caught a small one!!  Beckett was very excited to touch it, right before Daddy let it go. 

Daddy made it look so easy, so Mom thought she would give it a try.  Unfortunately all she caught was moss. 

 Grandma and Beckett enjoyed ice cream from the pier.

 A few more random pictures...

 Happy Labor Day!

Fun in Portland

The Lundes just got back from a week and a half in Portland.  We had a great time staying with Nana and Uncle Eric. 

While we were up there, we went to our first professional soccer game at Jeldwen Field.  We had a fun time with the Duvall family. 

Beckett and I spent LOTS of time at different parks in Portland.  One of our favorites was out in Sherwood, where they had a water feature and sand.  Beckett looks like he has a black eye in the picture, but it is just a little sand. 

More fun at the playground...

One morning Beckett and I went out to a blueberry farm to pick.  This time Beckett got the hang of it right away.  He picked berries for quite awhile, but somehow his bucket never filled up. 

While we were at the farm, Beckett was fascinated with the planes that were flying over us.  He kept pointing and yelling, "Bird."

Nana put Beckett to work, helping her in the kitchen.  What a helper he is!

Beckett loved his Nana's bath tub.  I think he thought it was a swimming pool.  He spent a lot of time practicing his kicking and blowing bubbles. 

We saw lots of family and friends.  Beckett was excited to spend some quality time with his baby cousin, Mason.

Of course he wanted to try out all of Nolan's toys. 

Fun at the beach in Seaside.  

More park time with Nana...

There were tons of ducks at the park, which were very tame.  Beckett walked right into the middle of a group of them and they barely moved. 

What a great trip!
