There was lots of dress up and dancing going on. We all got in on the action of course. We even had a spotlight dancing one of the nights with the lights off and flash lights on.
Our mischief makers.
The library and feeding ducks.
The Portland Zoo. Beautiful day. Sage is hiding in the stroller. Why is it the older kids want to ride in the stroller and the younger ones want to walk? If you enlarge this picture you can see my rotten stinker of a daughter trying to bite her brother. I'm excited for this new phase in her life :) Ciara needed a picture of Herbie for one of the frames in her house. Man that little bugger is hard to catch. He doesn't sit still. I think this bottom one is the best I caught??
Oregon is gorgeous and soooo green. It only rained a couple of days while we were up there. Surprisingly. Here's little Herbie sportin' his cute little umbrella. Oh, I love him.
Drake fussing because he was cold and wanted his blanket.
I had one request while visiting Ciara. I wanted to go to the Oregon Coast. We were at the beach for maybe 10 minutes. The tide came up and swept Sage off her feet. As you can see she wasn't very happy. It was cold and she was soaked from head to toe. Everything except her beanie was wet. How is that possible? I couldn't help but laugh. Ciara and I both just kept looking at each other and bustin' up. Chaos..I guess that's the way we roll. We stripped her down and wrapped a big blanket around her.

All of these pictures are awesome. The hardest I've laughed in a long time is enlarging that picture of Ava going for a big bite. ha ha ha! That is cracking me up- probably because Anika's a big biter sometimes too. oh the joys. all those kids together- chaos for sure.
Welcome back! Looks like you had a great time!
You are so awesome Kelli. Thanks so much for coming and helping me with my life. It was great having you there to vent with, talk to, clean for me, and help me care for mom. I love you so much! You are the best!
Awesome! We're actually thinking about moving up there this Summer. Does your sister like it up there?

I love it here in Portland. I recommend the west side of town Hillsboro or Beaverton area if you are a younger family or a young couple. The east side is closer to Mt. Hood, the Gorge, outdoor activities. So it depends on what stage in life you are at probably. We have lived on both sides of town and have loved different things about each. We have been here 8 years. Wow! Where did they go?
