WERE HERE I AM NOT SURE ABOUT SANE!!!

We are here is Portland. We moved out on the 21st of Aug. Micah and his Dad drove the moving truck and I drove the kids in the car with the dogs. It is a Twelve hour drive and we did it over two days Suprisingly enough It wasn't two bad other than everytime we stopped it was a thirty minute process to get the kids in and out of places and then letting the dogs out. We Spent a long day on saturday getting everything out of the truck and then relaxed on Sunday. I started work that Monday at OHSU. Micah flew back to Utah on The 25th and he will be there until the 8th working. We Miss him and our excited for him to come home. My mom has been here the last eight days and has been tons of help cooking, cleaning and of course watching he kids while I did my first 2 weeks of orientation. She flew back today. Thanks MOM! So far things are going good. I am thankful for my GPS I don't know how people got along with out things like that. We haven't done a whole lot because I have been at work so much but we did go to the Zoo one day for a little while and that was cool. I took the kids to ride the tram up to my work they thought that was sooo cool. I have learned to ride the bus and max line which suprisingly I don't really mind. They have a lot of cool farmers markets on saturday here and The weather has been great not to hot not to cold. Here are some pictures of Jesse and Dustins new little girl Haylee. She was the exact same height and weight of Treyson. Payton loved her and always wanted to hold her. The other things are just random pics I love and miss everyone in Utah and am looking forward to visiting soon. But in the mean time if anyone wants to come visit you always have a place to stay

THE TIME HAS COME!!!!

The time has come. We will be moving to Portland Oregon next week. We found a townhome in Beaverton Oregon which is a suburb of Portland. I also will be starting a new job there at Oregon Health Science University which is where Micah is going to school. I am working on a Bone Marrow Transplant Unit. This is the Job I was going for and When we went out there last week The manager hired me on the spot. I was so glad because then we had more time to look for a house. So next friday The kids, the dogs and I will be heading out over a two day trip. Micah and his Dad will follow with our stuff. I hope everything goes ok. these pictures below are just a few Pictures I took of the school and where I will be working. I will be working on the 14 floor of the building and it looks straight out over the whole city of Portland. The school has a tram that will take you off the hill into Portland it is really cool. Portland is one big forrest there are trees everywhere you look soooo green!!!! This is me standing on the ground right in front of my work so the trees are kind of blocking but that is Portland below
This is the Place I will be working on the top floor The tram leaves from right there.

This is the some more of the school I am so amazed it is on this mountain in the middle of all these trees

LAKE POWELL!!!!

This past week we were able to go to lake powell with my whole family minus Christan's family, Daniel and Chase and of course my Grandpa who will always be missed. however it was a great trip My Grandma Rented a 70 foot houseboat for all of us. We had two boats and a Jet ski to play with. Everyone got a turn to do what they wanted. Micah mostly liked the wakeboarding on the jet ski with Randy and others. I did get up on ski's and the wakeboard but not for long it was still fun though. We also had plenty of tube rides that were full of action to say the least. I think we all have bruises from that. Payton even rode on the tube with Kaylee and Micah which really surprised me. they however tipped over and after that she didn't want to go again. Payton had so much fun playing with Kaylee on the beach and well to put it as Kaylee said Treyson is an animal. My aunt Kristine and Uncle Scott were in charge of getting all the food and there was a lot believe me Thanks everyone who helped make our vacation great. Here are a few pictures to capture the memories. Micah on the Knee Board notice the scenery behind him awesome

CALIFORNIA!!!

The kids and I went to WestLake California this past week with My sister Tara and My Mom. The Purpose of our trip was to go see My Great Grandpa Just which yes my childrens great great Grandpa. He is so with it and does so well for his age I was so amazed. We have not seen him since my wedding almost 5 years ago. We had a short stay but were able to do fun things. We went to zuma beach in Malibu. This is always a fun experience for me. There is something about the ocean that leaves me in aahhh. I do not care if it is freezing cold I still enjoy the experience. The kids were also able to experience it for the first time. They were both a little scared of the big waves but they enjoyed playing in the sand. Micah asked Payton how she liked the beach and she said she got sand in her eye and the water was cold. We also were just able to do a lot of visiting with my Grandpa and meet a lot of his neat friends. I do however have to say that I was sooo glad to be home and have Treyson back in his own eniviroment where it is baby proof and he can get some good sleep. He had a really hard time but hopefully he can get back to his normal self. He is always crazy but not quite so bratty. Anyway here are some pictures they go backwords so enjoy.
