Good bye Oregon!

The Last Oregon Post!
I was so sad to leave Oregon I love this place!
this is the view from our balcony in Seaside.
MyKelle loved to make sand Angels. What a mess.
Indian Beach. My sweet husband carried Gage on his shoulders all over this beach.

More Jumping pictures at Ecola State Park.

Tillamook rock! What a pretty sunset.

Gage would sit like this all the time and Dad would always say, "Well Gage you look comfortable, Can I get you anything? A beer?" Gage would just say No, but it made me laugh every time because Gage just looks so chill.

I love this Place!
The Clan after we filled our stomachs with lots of yummy cheese and delicious Ice cream!

Gage's job was to take the cooler inside, and he did it all by himself! Good job Gage, you are so strong.

The Science Museum! An Octopus and a really big starfish!


Devil's Churn! I love this place, but it's really scary because you could slip and fall in the ocean and well you would be history.
We always stand by the rocks and wait for a big wave to splash so we can get a cool picture like this.....


I think that's the biggest wave I've stood next to! Everyone just yelled RUN after this picture so we took off so we wouldn't get wet.






This is a pretty view at the top of the mountain!
And of course a jumping picture on top of the world!

THE END!!! I LOVE OREGON! I can't wait to go back!

The Beach and Astoria

We finally made it to the beach!! Yeah, it's so pretty!
Our hotel is the one in the background and we stayed on the top floor.
The water was so cold when you first go in it, once you got numb it was okay.
Gines family fun! I don't know what Adam is doing!
The jumping pictures start! I love this picture.
How cute is Jeremy just enjoying his time on the beach? Very cute!
A pretty view of the Oregon coast, but our head are in the way.

Cape Kiwanda or Goonie beach. We got to park right on the sand. We watched a Hummer get stuck in the sand. It was pretty entertaining.
I do I feel like Edward should have been on vacation with us. Oregon is so foggy and misty, but that's what I love about it. The weather just makes you calm and relaxed. Oh I just love our Oregon Coast vacations.
Cape LOOKOUT!!!! (We're not in arches babe)
Cape Mears
Cape Mears Lighthouse, doesn't my dad look so pretty? YES!
Oregon Coast + My Hot Husband = A Perfect Vacation!
Jumping at Cape Mears
Adam brought his Skim board and we all had a fun time on it. I think Katie had the most fun! ;)

This is at the top of the Astoria tower. It takes a long time to climb and by the end your thighs are burning, but it's so worth it. Not only are there some great views, but you also get to see Adam freak out! (video below)

Ft. Stevens

I love this place! I love to run all over the fort and in and out of the buildings.

More jumping pictures!
We were being stealth!

Jeremy and Jessica looking over the Ocean protecting us!

We got to sit in this cool Army truck. I don't know why this is such a fun place, but it keeps me entertained.


Here is a great video of Adam being totally scared. He is so mad at me the whole time I filming this. I was jumping up and down to make him mad. Adam was shaking and sweating the whole time, sorry I did this Adam, but you are too funny.
Still more posts to come! Stay tunned!

My happy Place day by day!

I love the Oregon Coast so much and I was finally able to take the love of my life there! We had a great trip, we all got along, ate at Tillamook like 9 times, and finally got to experience WARM Oregon. We sure did miss Trav, Nat and Addison though! We left from Layton on July 23rd a day earlier than we had planned.
Day 1
Gage and MyKelle were GREAT kids so well behaved and so funny! They sat in the back of the Santa Fe the whole 2,000 miles. The first day we just drove to Boise so we could knock some hours off of our drive the next day.
Day 2
The next day we drove to Portland. We had to stop A LOT to go potty! Before we go into Portland we always stop off at this Dam and some pretty Waterfalls.

We got into Portland, ate at a pizza shop and went straight to bed after a good Mario Kart competition, too bad Adam and I suck really bad on the mine level.
Day 3
We went to the Portland Temple and did some work for the dead. This is my favorite Temple and I'm so happy I finally was able to go into it.
I heard about this place called Voodoo doughnuts off of the food network Channel and I told my family that we had to go there. Adam decided it would be a good idea to go because he had a rough night sleeping in the same room with Jeremy, who sleep talks, and me, who woke up sobbing because of a dream I had. This is what I bought to share with my family. Adam also go a maple bar with bacon on it, delicious!
Yes, in the picture you see doughnuts with, M&M's, coco roo's, froot loops, oreo's, and chocolate peanut butter. Also that HUGE blue one in the middle, MyKelle ate that in like 5 minutes.
Stay tuned for the rest of day 3 and 4!

Happy to you HOT STUFF!!

Happy Birthday My Hot Husband!!! I can't believe that you are 27 years old!!
Jeremy, I love you so much and I can't even start to put in words what you mean to me, you are my life and my world. You are a light in every one's life I'm so happy that I married someone as sweet, thoughtful, kind, happy, and positive as you!
You are my biggest example. You show me in your actions how not gossiping, saying rude things, and not feeling sorry for yourself can make you a more happy person. Seriously, I've never heard you say a rude thing about anyone and when I am you always make me look at their good qualities and remind me to Love them. You've never be angry or upset and have had it affect your life you just always find a way to bring out the good. You taught me how to stay positive and happy when things are not going my way. You are leading me to become closer to our Heavenly Father and are teaching me so much about the Gospel. You are guiding me down the right path and I learn more from you everyday by your actions, I wish I could be just like you one day.
I can't thank you enough for accepting me for me! You are always willing to be goofy with me you pose for pictures with me, watch my dumb reality TV shows with me, listen to me sing SO LOUD, pretty much do anything for me, but most of all you cherish me and I can see that. You are such a great Uncle to our Nieces and Nephew's you always have a lot of love and energy to give to little kids and I can't wait to start a family with you so my kids can have an awesome Dad!

I love everything that you do for me. I can't tell you how many times I have come home not wanting to clean, do laundry, or cook dinner and you have already done all 3? Well counting today... A MILLION!!! You are a huge help in my life and I thank you for treating me like a Queen!! Thanks for also sending me flowers at work on random days or picking up the new Miley Cyrus CD, some lame Musical on DVD, and surprising me with Marriott retreats! How did you become the most perfect Man? I love you so much and I'm the LUCKIEST Girl in the whole Universe!

I hope you have had a good trip to Oregon! I'm happy that I got to spend 12 Whole days with you! Now that we are back at work I miss you all day! You are so awesome and really can't say enough about you, but I must go and sit with you now because we have been apart too long!!

Finally May updates

Sorry I haven't updated my blog at all in May, but here are some of the activities I captured on Camera!!
May, as everyone knows was pretty rainy, but we were able to get a round of golf in with my family!
You are all aware that Adam likes to do the "number 1" sign in pictures so at first glance you may thing that that is what he is doing. However, Adam is actually doing the "loser" sign and pointing to Dad because he wanted to let everyone know that he was beating Dad! Good job Adam! For Mother's day Ann gave us pedicure coupons so we could go with her and relax. After Charlie's race we decided it would be nice to have our feet massaged.
Pretty toes!

Thanks Ann! I love pedicures!

Our chic-fil-a "free for a year" ended at the district on May 22 so we used our coupons for our last free meal there. It was a sad day, but at least we still have 6 more months at the Jordan Landing location!

After Jeremy bought his motorcycle my Dad wanted to go for a ride so we took off on a Saturday and drove up to Pineview. It was such a pretty ride and so nice to feel safe on a big motorcycle.
On memorial day we went to the Graves with my cousin's it was such an awesome turnout! Seriously we had like 60 of my cousin's at the Bountiful Graves. It was nice to see everyone on this beautiful day! This was my favorite picture of the day. It's me and my cute cousin Amanda, who I've always pretended was my little Sister.
We also went up to Ruth's dinner on the Motorcycle and met up with out friends Nate, Kindra and their adorable baby Braley. Ruth's dinner was recently updated, it was so beautiful to eat outside, with live music, and to be in the nice mountain air. Thanks for invinting us Nate and Kindra you guys our Rockstar! Let's go again soon.
Don't you think that my Sister, Katie, and I should compete in the Olympics for synchronized diving?
Katie taught me how to dive and then we had to full routine: 1- bring our arms up, 2- bend over, 3- bend the knees, and 4- dive in. We made our Mom watch us like 12 times and then we waited for her to tell us how good we were. I felt like we were 5 again because we kept saying, "Mom watch us!!"

That was May in a nutshell. Hopefully I'll get our June activities up soon.
