Thursday, Katrina's 4th Grade class went on a field trip to the Heritage Center in Tualatin! They all dressed as Pioneers because they have been studying the Oregon Trail. The field trip was fun for them as they had covered wagons, homemade lunches, wash boards for laundry, etc and did things as Pioneers would have back then!
Katrina's teacher Mrs. Hole dressed up with the kids as well....they all looked great!

My dear friend Jenn turned 35 this week and her husband planned a special surprise weekend getaway for her and her girlfriends (lucky us!) to have some fun! None of us knew where we were headed until we arrived at Jenn's Friday night for instruction. We found out we were headed to the Heathman Hotel downtown for dining in a private room! We had a fabulous time and enjoyed a really nice dinner. Then we headed out to a bar in the Nines Hotel and wow what a view! It was a wonderful celebration for Jenn and well deserved. The majority of the girls stayed downtown at the Heathman for the weekend and had a lot more fun celebrating, shopping, dining, seeing music etc. but myself and Lindsay came back last night. Lindsay's son Nick turned 10 this weekend (pics below) and she couldn't miss that AND being 9 months pregnant, I decided coming home to sleep and relax this weekend would be smarter than partying with the girls as a possible party pooper! :)
