Tuesday: Day Eight: Portland

Tuesday morning everyone slept in until 8! I think we were all super tired. We took our time eating breakfast (macs deli) and packing the suitcases. We said goodbye to the family the night before and we didn’t want to put everyone through it again so we decided not to go over [...]

Easter Plans?

What does your family do for Easter? We try to keep the religious aspect as our main focus. It is huge after all. But I also like Easter baskets and want to do some of that too. This is the first year that Cora is going to really, really get it [...]

Monday: Day Seven: Portland

Like I said in my previous post, Sunday night was kind of a problem with Della not sleeping all night.  We had about four hours of sleep and everyone was pretty exhausted and on edge so we took it slow Monday morning.  I took Della down stairs for breakfast at the buffet the hotel offers [...]

Sunday: Day Six: Portland

Sunday started off with Kelly going to Vancouver (Washington) for a 10K. He got second place and we are all so proud of him!! After the race he came back to get the family and we all drove over to my sister’s house.
We stopped at Target on the way for a few things. I [...]

making a shirt dress

Literally from a men’s dress shirt – love this idea. I found it via whipup.net (again) and it looks intriguing. Anyone ever try anything like this? I will probably find a shirt at Goodwill instead of using the husband’s!

Saturday: Day Five: Portland

Saturday started off on kind of the wrong foot with me not being able to sleep most of the night before.  Some people moved into the hotel room beside us and had a screaming child.  It started at about 7 p.m. Friday night and continued all through the night.  My body is trained to hear [...]

golden 28

Today on the 28th of March I am 28 years old. It’s strange to think about being this age since I still feel 16 some days (and am wondering where the real parents of these kids are). But at the same time I feel completely comfortable here. Kelly always laughs and tells [...]

Friday: Day Four: Portland

We were slow moving this morning and didn’t get going until after 9 a.m.  It seems to work out okay though.  We met my sister and her family downtown at Powell’s Books. It was one of the places on our list of places to see and I’m glad we made it! The store [...]

Thursday: Day Three: Portland

Thursday started off with an early wake up at 7 a.m. Really that is our normal wake-up time but the girls stayed up late the night before so I thought they’d sleep in. We ate at the hotel room for breakfast that we had previously purchased at Trader Joe’s. Banana bread, peanut [...]
