Well, I dont. But justin did...

He got sworn in, as in he is a legit lawyer now!!

the coast

We had a family getaway to the coast (because everyone here knows its NOT the beach) this weekend, which was fabulous!! We headed to Oswald state park, that has a gorgeous little hike to this great cove, and a first-come first-serve camp ground. It was beautiful weather, good waves, and lots of family time... What more could a girl ask for??!

some good old fashioned family time

Right after the Mattices left, my brother, his wife and little girl came up to visit. It was so much fun. We went to Mt. St. Helens, pudding on the rice, the Nike employee store, out to a delicious dinner, pudding on the rice several times, house hunting, my cousins football game, out on the river, swimming, and just had a really great time together. I miss all my family so far away, but it is so fun when they come visit... maybe next time they wont have to sleep in the baby's room!

VooDoo Doughnuts...sooo yummy!!!

swimming!!

ammendment

sorry, but I have to mend my "Mattida" post and add that my wonderful, beautiful, fabulous, sweet, giving, generous, amazing cook, did i mention beautiful Aunt took her entire saturday to watch Rhys so we could go to the game!! Im thinking she enlisted the help of her equally fabulous daughter to care for my little rascal, but either way...I owe you both a huge thank you!!!! I love you guys!!

Mattida reunion

So our friends the Mattices came out a few weekends ago to visit us and go to a Oregon Football game. Ryan played for the team were we met them our first year in Eugene, but now they live in Utah. We have been the best of buds ever since and love when they come out to visit.

We took out our paddle board and a canoe onto Lake Oswego... so gorgeous!Went to the Ducks vs. Utah game... So fun!! As always it was much to short! We miss you guys!

dahlia farm

A few weeks ago, I met my Aunt and Auntie at the Dahlia farm in Canby. Its this little town like 20 minutes from my house with acres of all kinds of Dahlias. Needless to say, I LOVED IT!! Totally loved it. You walk through rows and rows of these flowers, each one different from the next, and all so pretty. They come in all colors, sizes and pedal varieties. You mark down the ones that you like and order them to be delivered in the spring time. I cant wait until I have a house that I can plant anything I want in because it will definitely have a ton of these flowers!
