Easter

Thiss year we colored eggs with shaving cream and then Andy let the kids paint his face they had a lot of fun. our extended family was out of town so we had friends over for Easter dinner and I got to cook everything myself since they just moved. I was super grateful for all the help I got from Andy and the kids and we had a good time. We are so grateful for our savior who died for us and the opportunity to celebrate his resurrection that gives us opportunity together forever.

Spring Break 2019

This spring break we took the kids to the last section of the word coast we haven't yet explored as a family. We started by spending the night in Portland and visiting a super awesome superhero themed restaurant and then taking the kids to the state capital in Salem next day. We were able to see Sweet falls write a dune buggy across the dunes drive down to see the redwood Forest of Oregon and of course play on the beach. This was our first experiment was staying in a yurt at a campsite. We stayed at Sunset Bay State Park. We were so grateful for a heated yurt after playing in the beach and being cold or on those cold spring winter nights. It was also great to have actual beds and I definitely think we'll try it again. We had a good week together and now we know our favorite places to go in the places we'd like to go back to sometime. last but not least we stopped at the tulip farm in Woodburn again this year however because it's been so cold there weren't really any flowers we'll have to go back another time.
