SUNRIVER OREGON -SPRING BREAK 2014

Dave and I rented a house in Sunriver for Spring Break for a few nights. We loaded up and hit the road for some fun.

We are all in!!! even Boggs! Let's hit the road!

Magazine, snacks, Boggs and sunshine!

the scenery is beautiful in Oregon

WELCOME TO SUNRIVER!

the house we rented was great....

it had a great hot tub!

Katrina asked what this was....A wall phone was absurd to her...

game time and coffee

 I forgot to pack a swim suit for RJ so we bought him a swim diaper while we were there because he couldn't miss out on the swim fun...he loves the water!

RJ AND DADDY

 

We saw our friends in Sunriver. Katrina was excited to spend the day with Stella at the water park!

 Saturday we took a beautiful hike. RJ rode Daddy's back and we had a great time. The views were so beautiful....pictures NEVER do justice.

After our day out hiking we worked up an appetite and ate at the Village at Sunriver Brewery and couldn't pass up a sweet treat afterward at Goody's.

 

On our way out we hit up a café for breakfast and coffee and RJ made a funny mess with eggs ALL over him...he is so funny.

snow on the way home. the trees were astounding

 

Today we went on a walk and played outside. Spring blooms everywhere!!! So happy Spring is here!

Dallas Texas Spring 2014

If there is one complaint I have in living in Portland, it's being too far away from family! We miss our families.

RJ and I took off last week for a visit with my Mom and Dad! Dave was working and Miles and Katrina were still in school last week . Their Spring Break started this week. My sister and her four adorable kids were in Dallas too on their Spring Break so I got to spend wonderful time with my niece Isla and nephews Finley, Brogen and Amden. They are busy busy and so much fun. Mom took us to Six Flags Kid Land. The boys were in heaven. RJ and Isla even got to ride the train! My sister and I got to spend an evening out together which we had not done in years...probably since before Finley was born! I also got to see two friends from college I had not seen in years! It was a great visit and as always went by way too fast!
Our babies are getting bigger before our eyes, so of course, LOTS of pictures.

Enjoy.

RJ and I on the plane- He's a great little traveler

RJ had a couple accidents on the way to Texas and we went through 3 outifits....so he went without pants the last leg to TX.

we arrived....and play time was ON. RJ and Isla

Mom and Dad- Dad grilled pork steaks the first night

 We had a little 1st birthday for Isla....her birthday is April 1st and Ashley is having a party for her, but since we can't make it, we had a mini practice celebration!!

 

We played hop scotch while Dad (Papa) grilled.

Ashley got some QT with RJ

as you can see RJ is almost three months younger and about the same size as Isla

RJ could NOT get enough of the water and bath time.

 TIME FOR ISLA's BIRTHDAY SONG! HAD TO HAVE HATS!!
