Bridal Veil and Multnomah Falls - June 25, 2018

Day trip drive to see big waterfalls! We stopped at Bridal Veil Falls and Multnomah Falls. Most of the "waterfall highway" and hiking trails are closed because of a big fire in September 2017, so we didn't get to see any of the others or do the hike to the Multnomah bridge. It was still a fun family adventure.

Devil's Lake - June 18, 2018

Family drive along the Cascade Lake's Scenic Byway. Our first stop was Devil's Lake. Throwing rocks, walking on logs, tiny frogs and a snake. It's a cool place to explore.

Speaking in church - May 27, 2018

James and I spoke in sacrament meeting. It's the first time we've been on time to church.  Church starts at 10 a.m.  We took our "proof" selfie at 9:58 a.m.

Excited for baby sister - May 16, 2018

I got a "free" box of baby items in the mail today, a bottle, pacifiers, a couple onesies, wipes, a tiny diaper, coupons for formula and this zebra swaddle blanket.

Of course, we had to test it out. With Lincoln's legs tucked up, the blanket is big enough to swaddle my six year old!

And we have a "picture" of our baby sister on the fridge after the latest ultrasound (May 14)

New Truck - April 9, 2018

We drove to Seattle on Sunday night and stayed in a hotel (yay! pool!)

On Monday morning we went to check out truck #1. It turned out to not be our truck and we went to a nearby playground to see what other trucks were in the area.

 Thankfully, the #2 truck turned out to be the #1 truck and after much paperwork and food stops and gas stations and lots more driving, we got home with a new-to-us 2006 Toyota Tundra with an extended cab for 2 carseats and a booster. It also has a camper shell for hauling around camping gear and skis.

Lincoln likes the moon roof feature.

Bogus Basin - March 30-31, 2018

 

On Friday night, we celebrated Easter with an Easter Egg hunt on the Magic Carpet at Bogus Basin with all the cousins. So much fun! Meta's first time skiing all by herself. Now we know she is motivated by chocolate and candy. Surprise, surprise.

 Lincoln is also showing off some good skills: stopping skating, stepping - all for Easter eggs and after skiing a bunch this afternoon.

Saturday was day 2 of skiing! Lincoln is going strong. We slept in the motorhome last night. Meta didn't want to ski again, so she spent all day with Oma at the motorhome.
