Field trip & Birthdays!

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!

Neighbor friend Nick and Katrina share a class and have become close friends

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! :)

the beautiful crew with the Heathman doorman. such a fun bunch of friends.

A little of the latest....

Spring is moving into summer faster than we can blink! The kids only have 4 weeks of school left before summer break where they will be in camps, enjoying time in the neighborhood with friends, lots of family visitors and a new baby brother.

Last Thursday was art night at school where the kids showed off their art work from the school year. I taught art with a couple of the Mom's in Katrina's class once a month all year and it was truly fun! To show off their work and see performances by the after school programs was great!

My sister is still rockin it as a Mom. Baby Isla , my niece is over 10 lbs already and doing really great as the little sister to three brothers!!! Busy, Busy!

We are 35 weeks pregnant and counting the days for RJ's arrival...we are ready and organized for him to be here! With each passing day we can't wait to meet him more and more.

Besides the usual crazy busy, dance, soccer, and hanging with friends, Church and youth group; I am wrapping up at work as RJ is expected soon, Dave is doing really well at work, and we are still loving Oregon...Miles had his last day of youth meetings before Summer this past Sunday and Pastor Tyler wants him to be in Leadership Programs at the church. He also recently made the Classic Soccer Team again for this season! Katrina is still loving dance and singing her heart out. Her girlfriends and her have been practicing using cups as the beat to music and singing...Sleepovers are most weekends a must...and lots of singing and dancing takes place!

The weather has been wonderful with minimal rain and we have gotten a lot accomplished in the yard!

Pics of the latest below! Happy Spring....(Turning into summer in the blink of an eye!)
