Oregonian photos

Here are our photos from the past few days. The camera just isn't capable of capturing that much beauty. Even so, it's gorgeous!

Here are the few photos we took as we were leaving the house:

meet our new HOME

We are home! We arrived in Oregon Friday at 2:30 am absolutely exhausted! We met our landlord Friday evening and viewed the home, which we LOVE! We found everything we were looking for in a home, the house is gorgeous, the photos don't do it justice. There is a fish pond, plants and flowers all over the front yard. Lexi's room is painted just right for a little girl (purple with butterfly stencils), Kyler loves his room, our room has a walk in closet! The new elementary school is right outside of the cul de sac that our home sits on. The best part is the view...gorgeous tree covered mountains right in front of you! A river right in front of the mountain. The landlord is awesome, we hit it off right away! She is an animal lover just like us. We were so caught up in the moment we forgot to take photos until we were pulling out of the driveway, these are the landlords photos. We move in July 1st! I will post all the photos from the trip later.

It's been a beautiful week, in the 70s! Too bad Jared's missing it, he left to Chicago yesterday for a trade show. It's just a short trip, he'll return Thursday. As soon as he gets home, I'll have everything packed and loaded in the car ready to drive to Oregon. We're going to look at homes, well pretty much one in particular that the landlord said it's ours if we want it and so far we LOVE it. :)

Some photos of the week...

Marissa sent Lexi 4 new bows! Here's one...how adorable is that? Thanks aunt Marissa!

Happy Easter!

Our Easter started off at 7 am with the kids saying "it's Easter!" and me replying "stay in your bed, wait for me to get the camcorder ready!!" haha to which they listened to. They ran out to their baskets, full of candy and toys. They were so excited, it was so fun to see the light in their eyes spark.
At 11 we met up with my mom, brothers, sister, sister in law and nephews at the park. The kids hunted eggs and we played football and frisbee. My mom brought the kids a TON of stuff: kites, balls, footballs, chocolates, and silly string. She brought me some beautiful orange lillies. We had a great time.
At 3 we headed to my sister in laws for dinner with my mother in law, sister in laws, brother in law, grandmother in law, nephews and niece. We had a good time chatting and the kids spent the day outside jumping on the trampoline.
Overall it was a great Easter, on the way home I asked the kids if they had a good time and Kyler said "best Easter ever!" Hope everyone had a great day.
