Mother's Day

My sweet family took good care of me today.

-Eliza let me sleep until 6:30 (however, let me clarify that did not mean she did not have me up in the night - just that she wasn't up for the day wanting to play at 5AM!)

-The boys didn't get up until 7:00 (what a treat!)

-The boys crawled into our room to my side of the bed and yelled "surprise, happy mother's day!"

-A pancake breakfast was made by Drew and the boys for me.  Again another 'surprise' was given once  I walked down the stairs

- Cards were given, Drew had flowers for me and the boys had special gifts.  Cole had a MOPS school hand print craft and Sam had a jar that he made at preschool filled with flowers.  They both were so sweet - they will still be in my home when I am 80 years old.


- Church, followed by snail collecting outside, Vietnamese take out for lunch, quiet time for the kids and then time at the park before supper finished off the day. A perfect day.

 I am so blessed!

Sun River and Portland for Mid Winter Break

Drew had a conference in Sun River OR this past winter and we made the call to tag along for a little vacation.  Things were slightly dampened by the fact that it appears Cole has developed car sickness since the summer. Ugh.  The drive was so long! However, it was worth it in the end and we had a wonderful time relaxing in an amazing little chalet, enjoying the snow, sitting in the hot tub, sledding and skating!  Couldn't have asked for more fun!  A stop at our favorite in Mt. Hood - El burro loco! A glass of wine after our 6 hour road trip turned into 10 hours due to car sickness!  Right before our Owl Walk.  We were told we could walk into the wood and hear the owls. What a bust!  3 cold and tired kids in the dark woods and no owls!  It's now a running joke in our home as the  tour guide kept 'hooting' trying to draw the owl's attention.  If we want someone's attention in the house we often hoot at each other now...
