This is for my brothers!!

I know that my brothers do not look at my blog so maybe this will get there attention!! (Mom If you ever look at my blog get the boys on to see the cars and then maybe show them the pictures of the girls)
I had Wacey go to Target with me and we got a little side tracked with the car dealership across the road. Wacey says he will visit the dealership one day to buy one for himself!! So we discovered the cars and I also discovered a pumpkin patch here that next year we have to visit. I heard some girls talking about Rolloff family farms that is only about 15 miles away from us, so I looked it up online to see if we could go and this is what I found...Have you ever watched Little People, Big world? It is right here in Oregon about 20 minutes away from us!! I have watched the show and thought it would be really cool to see the little village they have set up there and had now idea I would ever live so close, and I missed it by 3 days. Go to the website www.mattroloff.com ~ I live right by it... CRAZY.

Addey has had a hard time trying to decide what she wants to be for Halloween. Hannah Montana or a Skunk. My mom bought a skunk and a baby chick for Halloween last year and Addey had already picked out her Snow White so she wore that last year. This year she really wanted to be the skunk since she did not wear it last year, although Hannah Montana was hard to pass up too. Reece's baby Chick still fits her and she looks SOO cute in it so when she tried it on Addey decided she can wear the skunk this year because it will still fit this year and next year it may not!!! So keep tuned for Halloween pictures... But mom could not resist the $5.00 buy one and get one, Hannah Montana wig!!

One of the things I have missed ( I will not get into all the things I have missed) is BREAD. I have looked everywhere and I can not find Grandma Sycamore bread and the weekly visits to Marion's house to get bread and rolls is just killing me. SOOO.... I made bread!!

tagged

I have been tagged by Amber, This picture is from my 4th folder and its the 4th picture. I tag Alisha, Cheri, and Alayna. Find your 4th folder and 4th picture in that folder and describe it.

This is actually one of my favorite pictures!! Addey is about 10 months old in this picture and she was playing with Uncle Cade and Cache!!

Keeping busy...

We are staying pretty busy, and I think we finally have a schedule! On Tuesday Addey has Ballet and Tap and Reece has Gymnastics, on Wednesday we have our mommy and me with some girls from our ward, and Thursday Addey has gymnastics and Reece has princess Ballet. On Friday we can either go to open gym and practice our Gymnastics or we go to Play boutique were the girls can play and go to different things like story time, puppet shows or creative play where they put on plays. There is so much to do here for kids!! Since we get really tired of being in our apartment it makes it a lot easier for me! I do miss just sending them out to the yard or being able to go on trips to see the animals at the farm, but this will do for now. And the girls are loving it!!!! The pictures are of the new gymnastics outfits and the Ballet outfits the girls got. The pictures of the pumpkin patch are from our trip we made with some girls that asked us to come to their playgroup with them last week. There are lots of Little girls for Addey and Reece to play with!!!

Pumpkins

Today we went to Lee's farms to get us some pumpkins. i t was so much fun, we went on rides saw some farm animals and picked our pumpkins. When we pulled up we thought it would be boring because we have all the animals at home, but Addey loved telling everyone about all the animals and Reece was the star of the show riding the ponies!! We ate fresh donuts and went through a corn maze. After we picked the perfect pumpkins it was time to head home but we had a fun day at Lee's farm!!

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Oregon here we are!!

I have posted some pictures of some things we did while my mom, dad, and Cole were here. I did a separate post of each thing we did because I have so many pictures and I wanted do describe each event. I want to thank my mom, dad and Cole for helping us move and having a little fun with us before they went home! I will post some more pics of our new apartment and what the girls and I have been doing lately.

Multnomah Falls

Just before we pulled into Portland we stopped at the Multnomah Falls. It was a much needed rest from driving all day and a nice welcome to our new residence! Plummeting 620 feet the Falls are breathtaking and with all the lush greenery and beautiful trees it is amazing.

Tillamook Cheese Factory

The day before Mom,dad, and Cole left we took a little drive to the Ocean and the Tillamook Cheese factory! We got to go and see the production of how the cheese is cut and packaged. It was a lot of fun to go with my dad. I think he could have sat there for hours and watched every detail and figure it allout. I could have sat there and listened to him figure it all out, but the girls were soon ready for the fresh ICE CREAM!! YUM YUM!!

Our trip to the coast.

This was our trip to the Ocean. We had been driving for two days and then unpacked one day and needed a break. My mom, dad and Cole were leaving the next day so it was great to have a day of fun before they left! It was rainy but it was still beautiful!!! We went to a lighthouse and it was a little walk to get there, it started raining as we were walking and Addey was not happy. I have always thought lighthouses were cool. I love how the stories of ships out in the ocean look for the light of the the lighthouse and know were to go. I think I am going to decorate my bathroom with the pictures of our first trip to the ocean. I love the picture I posted at the top of the tide and beech with the Oregon trees and even though it was rainy and the winds were blowing there was sun peeking through and it was a beautiful day, even in the rain. I will also put the picture I took of the light house, it isn't a great picture but it will remind me to follow the light and I will know were to go! We went down on a a beach on the sand and it was amazing to watch the big tide's come in. Again it was rainy and windy so the tide was Huge and it looked like it was going to come right over the top of us. I loved how it would be calm as it got to up us but looked so big just a few miles out. I think I will enjoy being so close to the ocean (especially in the summer) It is so beautiful and amazing and I am glad My mom, dad, and Cole got to go with us! Next time maybe Cade and Cache can come!!

Joy in the Journey

Well we are here and Oregon and have had a busy week getting here and in our apartment. I have lots of pictures, but am not totally set up and did not have my camera hooked up to down load my pictures. Maybe that is what we can do for Family home evening tonight!!

Today was Wacey's first official day of working FULL time for RMT international, So therefore I was on my own. I got up and picked up and put a few more things away. I then decided I wanted to try to get out!!I have been proud of myself and I think my dad would be proud to. We got ready and we went to Deseret Book and got Reece her own Book Of Mormon and a case for Addey's. I then decided to get real brave and went to Costco!! We live pretty much in the city but you really can not tell because of all the tree's. To get to our apartment you have to go up a windy hill and it is all covered with tree's and shrubbery. But it only took me about 10 min. to get to costco so that reminds me how I really am in the city. I would have to plan my trips to costco before.

Well I will try to get my camera set up. I have some beautiful pictures of the coast!! I can not believe I live by the Ocean, It only took us about 1 1/2 to get there. I am open to visitors any time!!! Anyway it is beautiful and green here and I will get some pics up!!! I am trying to enjoy this Journey, It is hard to be away from family but me and the girls are having fun hanging out and I am glad we are on this JOURNEY together!!!
