Stuff

This is only 3/4 of my harvest this year, since I'm still doing blackberries. I think my Grandma will be great full for berry season to be over, since I send her a text and picture basically every other day, of my amazing picking! (Yes, my Grandma texts!)

Strawberries, Raspberries, Blueberries, Marionberries and Cherries.

More jam somehow got made and shoved into the freezer after this.

We picked these cherries for a really cool program called Salem Harvest. They were free, we just had to give half of what we picked to the Food Bank. This is our half, which I barely froze any of. I'm surprised we didn't have bowel issues!

We've been spending a lot of time at the coast; squeeze in the warm days while we can, I guess?

Cory has a new obsession . . . surfing.

Here he is learning.

Here he is mid-fall.

Here is his teacher.

Looking good! Plus, I love that lighthouse in the background.

The girls and I enjoyed the sun on the beach with our new friends. They moved into our ward a couple weeks after we did and we've quickly become Bosom Friends.

Merrick and Em.

Cory and Tyson, friend/surf instructor/reason-why-Cory-is-obsessed-with-surfing!

Cute girls Tessa, Emory, and Berkleigh.

Otter Rock, my favorite Oregon Beach thus far.

Cory thought he'd be funny and had me take this picture. He then photo-shopped it to look like he'd drawn a mustache and missing tooth on his friend's nice new bill board, welcoming him to his new Podiatric clinic. We think we're funnier than we are, cause when we sent them the picture, they thought we'd actually done it!

A different day at the coast and a different beach. People were scouring this beach for agate. Two seconds after this photo, the wave engulfed me. Not fun.

Tessa, of course, wanted a photo shoot. All the posing was her idea. She makes me laugh and scares me all at the same time.

Emory was content to play in the sand.
