"It is within our families that we learn unconditional love, which can come to us and draw us very
close to God's love. It is within families that values are taught and character is built,"

-Elder M. Russell Ballard

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.

A trip to Seattle

Last weekend we went to Seattle to visit some friends. It is such a beautiful place! We were able to have a wonderful dinner at Chelsea and Alex's parent's home. They were very sweet to us and let us spend the night in their new home. We have known Chelsea and Alex since our first semester married in Rexburg and we have become very good friends with them. We had a great time catching up with them since our move.We had a great weekend full of adventures and memories while visiting with Chelsea, Alex and their baby Eli and also Mike and Mandy. 



Mike and Mandy recently moved to Seattle and they were very generous to show us around town. Mike was Jason's MTC mission companion and Mandy is his sweet wife. We had so much on our little adventure with them exploring Seattle and seeing all the fun things there are to do around!

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.

We are back

We are back from Hawaii!! We had a blast in the sunny weather with family. We spent a little over two weeks there and unfortunately some of us got sick (that included lea). Although she wasn't feeling well, she was still a very happy baby. She really enjoyed the sand, especially the part where she would put it in her mouth. 

Just to warn you, there are going to be ton's of pictures. I loved our vacation  so I wanted to treasure every single moment of it!
