Easter

Easter was so fun this year!! I got to make Eli's Easter outfit. I did a bow tie, matching shoes and his sweater vest. It was so fun to dress him up! I completely forgot to take a family picture of all of us. Dang.

After church we had a yummy dinner, and Eli found his Easter bag on his own. That boy is a chocolate lover!! (Thanks to my brother for sneaking him bites). He can sniff it out in my diaper bag or on the table!

We also had an Easter egg hunt. Who cares if we are grown ups! We had a blast. My mom, brother, Bryan, and I all hid some eggs then hunted for them in the backyard. This was by far the toughest egg hunt I've done, but It was very memorable. I love my family :)

(these pictures are right on my computer but sideways here...sorry.) 

just turn your computer or stand on your head ;)

Tillamook

Monday we went to tillamook Oregon. And who could leave the cheese factory without getting tillamook ice cream! Heaven! We tried mudslide chocolate, cake batter, Marion berry, raspberry white chocolate and s'more! Oooh :) Eli slept on the way then enjoyed ice cream himself ;)

On the way home we stopped at a funny little place and had great fish and chips!

After the drive home eli had to get out gis wiggles, which meant trying to escape the house. After we came back we had tin foil dinners on fire pit. Bryan would have been happy having a fire every night :)

Hike Around Town

I just took pictures as things happened but didn't keep good track of what we did each day.

The first day we were there we had dinner with my dad then the boys watched a basketball game and Eli played with bright blocks. We need some of those. He loves them!

The next day we went on a along the river through town. It was 5 miles but didn't feel that long at all! My mom got us a used baby pack in perfect condition. We tested it out with Eli and he liked it so much he fell asleep!

And no day is complete without helping us unload the dishwasher ;)

Oregon Here We Come

I have lots of pictures condensed down to a handful of posts, so hopefully I can get them up this week.

Oregon was so great. We stayed just busy enough to so lots of things, but it was also low key and relaxed so we didn't feel rushed. My mom only had to work a couple days the whole break so we had lots of time to play too. And my brother came for his spring break from college!

So here is Eli helping me pack. I think he was excited ;) then the morning we were scheduled to fly out it snowed several inches and we were afraid our flight would be canceled or delayed but all wet smoothly!!

Spring Break

I have not been home To Oregon in 15 months so I am stoked to be here!! I'll post more when we get back to the desert.

Life in High Speed

wow.  I didn't know we could actually work this much!

Have we done anything in the past few weeks?

Dishes?  Nope
Cooking a real meal? No
Vaccuuming?  what's that?
Laundry?  Don't you wear your clothes inside out when they get dirty?
Sleeping?  yea right!

I don't know who is trying to kick our butts with work but its working.  I'm going to talk to my manager tomorrow about getting at least a 1/2 day off a week.  50 hours a week is not cool. 

I don't even have fun things to write about becuase I hardly have energy to stay awake while eating dinner.  If cereal even counts as dinner :) 

But next friday Bryan and I will be snuggled up on the couch at home in Oregon watching a Christmas movie with our family.  If I can only make it one more week.
