Kids personality shown in their decorating!

The beginning of Spring Break included a huge project. Dave designed and built a loft bed for Miles room! Though very time consuming and quite a great challenge, after much sawing, measuring, drilling, hammering etc. the final product is very cool. Miles is thrilled with his loft and that will be something we will treasure forever! It is so cool. The loft has enough room underneath to create a fort feeling! His desk, a chair, shelving and even a desk light are all under the loft! Besides a few minor details, "Miles Man Cave" is complete! The pictures do no justice but enjoy!

 Katrina, Miles and I painted a deep blue that Miles picked out. Then Dave began assembling the wood and piecing it together!
Dave worked so hard on this!

Sports Memorabilia all over the place! Miles chose where to hang most everything!

loves the drums and is quite good!

Katrina, what are you doing up there?! haha.



Katrina's room was the color she wanted it when we moved into the house. She loved the purple room. She picked out her own bedding, we hung curtains, she became poster obsessed and placed most the items in the room where she wanted them! From stuffed animals to her favorite chair in the house this room is ALL Katrina!

Neighborhood OMSI Trip, By: Katrina Baker

On Monday we went to OMSI. We got ready to leave and followed the neighbors.We drove into the neighbors drive way and we waited until they came out from their garage.So we started our neighborhood OMSI trip! When we got to OMSI we saw the lego exhibit and it was really cool. My two favorite things were a peace sign made of LEGOS and crayons. A couple minutes later,we went to the kids play ground and it was fun. But more fun for Jeffrey,and Cole because they are little kids. Then , we went to the ball room. It was so cool!!!! Later, we went to the science chemistry exhibit room. That was my favorite room. After that, we went to a electronic room. It was okay. Then we went upstairs which was not cool at all. Next we got ready to leave. It was such a fun fun day!

Short But Sweet For Certain

We have had a wonderful weekend with my Mom and Dad. They arrived Friday at 1pm, we had a nice dinner and watched Lehigh beat Duke in March Madness Championships! Mom and Dad are celebrating 30 years of marriage and Mom turned 50 so we had a little gift for her which was fun! Saturday morning after breakfast we hit the road to Cannon Beach and had a really great time on the beach, shopping and eating at Cannon's famous MO'S where we had some of the best clam chowder and fish tacos I have ever had! The drive was crazy because one second it would be snowing and sleeting and the next second the sun would come out! We didn't know what to expect when we got there but it turned out to a BEAUTIFUL day! Mom, Dad, Dave and I went to Maher's Irish Pub in Lake Oswego again this year for the St. Patty's Day celebration and had quite the party last night! My friends Lyndsay and Emily joined us and we had a ball. Katrina and Miles really enjoy my parents. We have played games relaxed and really enjoyed their company. Today, Dad is making chili and chicken wings, we have dips laid out and Sangria's in our hand ready to relax after our morning at our new church....We will miss them when they're gone but enjoying them while they are here!! They are headed back to Texas tomorrow.....

Mom and Dad married 30 years!

Happy 50th Birthday Mom!


LEHIGH WINS!
