Lea's b-day party

A few months ago we decided that because family was going to be in town for Zaden's blessing, we also wanted to celebrate Lea's b-day with them. It was so much fun having all the cousins together!! I just loved seeing them interact with each other! Lea loved her party. I was a little worried about the weather because that whole week had been very humid, but Saturday turned out so beautiful and a little too hot for my liking. But that made the kids have so much fun!!! We had a slip n slide, a very little pool and Lea's new trampoline as a hit. All the kids loved jumping in it! (thank you nana).

 

Jason and I decided to give lea a tricycle for her birthday!! She loved it!!!

It is hard to get family all together and I feel so blessed that we were able to do so. Although Lea's b-day is not until the 16th, She had so much fun with everyone!!

Our Portland Adventure

After visiting Seattle we came to the conclusion that there are lots of things to do in the city. We have always been in the suburbs and haven't really explore the city of Portland at all. A few weeks ago, we decided that it was time to check out Portland. We decided to go to the Ira Keller fountain and also to the Crystal Springs Garden. It was a very hot day and we had lots of Fun. We invited my little sister, Keally and Lea really enjoyed her company. 

We truly enjoyed our adventure and we can't wait to explore more. 

Easter

Easter was a few weeks ago, but I had lots of pictures to share. We started our Sunday with an Easter egg hunt for lea. She loved it! We then headed to church and had wonderful lessons about the atonement of Christ and that He is Risen.

After church we went over to my parents. The Easter Bunny also left some treats for us there! This year it was just my brother's family, my parents, Keally and our family. My sister could not make it  and we really missed her and her family.  All the kids had so much looking for their eggs! The Kids were also able to decorate cookies. Lea didn't really know what she was supposed to be doing, so we did it for her. Instead she just ran around the house eating the frosting. 

Lots and lots of updates....

I can't believe that I haven't blogged since Halloween!! That's crazy. Well this post is going to be full of pictures of our latest adventures. Where to start...

So we are out of Rexburg. We really miss our friends and neighbors, but we are glad to be here in Oregon with family. Jason graduated in December and I was able to walk with him even though I'm not done with my degree until April. I'm so proud of him and all the hard work that he put into school. Jason is currently working for an internet marketing company and doing some things of his own on the side. I'm finishing up school and taking care of Lea.

Our empty apartment

I can't wait to be done with classes. I am taking 18 credits this semester and it has been a little hard. But I'm so glad that I only have 2 1/2 weeks left until I get my Bachelor's. I couldn't be any more happy!!

We took family pictures with Jason's family.

I love this one of Lea

I celebrated my 21st B-day in December! 

We celebrated Christmas with Family

We went to my sister's for New Years.

We took a trip with Jason's parents to Florida and the Bahamas!!

During all of these adventures, I was pregnant. By the time we actually went to the doctor I was already 13 and 1/2 weeks and they were able to tell what we were having. This pregnancy was a total surprise. We were being careful and cautious, but I guess Heavenly Father had another plan for us. I'm due August 5th. Lea and her baby brother will be a little less than 2 years apart, but that's okay. The pregnancy has gone pretty well. I get nauseous really fast, but nothing very extreme. I'm so excited to have another baby. I can't wait to meet him! And Jason couldn't be any happier. He really wanted Lea to be a boy, but that didn't happen. So He is extremely excited about us having a boy. Lea is going to be such a great sister. I can't wait for her to meet her brother. 

Egin Lake

We went to Egin lake a few weeks ago with our friends, Andrew and Emily. We got a little lost on our way, but we had fun. It wasn't really what we expected, but lea loved it. She loved the water! Here are pictures of our adventure. 

Sunshine!!!

Today was such a beautiful day that we had to go outside!!! This morning, I took lea for a walk with one of our friends. We had lots of Fun!! Then, when Jason came home we had to go on another walk. Lea had a great time being outside and playing at the park!!!

I can't believe that just a few weeks ago it was so cold that we had to bundle her all up!!

Here are some pictures. Enjoy : ) 

A few weeks ago

Today

I think Jason enjoys playing at the park more than Lea
