Yay we went on a trip home to Oregon and it was so much fun. I loved every minute of being in Portland. It did rain everyday but I don't care because I love it there so much. We decided to drive but Haylee did great the whole way. The real concern about driving is how I would do because I don't like road trips. I would much rather fly. But I did good in the car too. We spent time with my family, went to the nike store in downtown portland, ate, went to omsi, shopped some more, watched movies, watched basketball games, and we even went to Washington to visit my aunt and uncle. My goal in life is to convince Weston to move to Portland. I think I'm making progress. We did move west from Rexburg to Boise.
I think Weston and I make such cute dinosaurs
We went to Omsi, the science museum in downtown Portland, to show Haylee all of the fun stuff and I guess science is not really her thing. It put her right to sleep.
Weston and I remain very calm in an extremely dangerous situation
Stacey on the other hand is in a complete panic and is not handling the situation in a calm way
My mom's birthday was March 30th so I was glad I could be in Oregon for her big day!!
Weston and I stopped at a fish place on the way home. They had a ton of fish there to look at so Weston was very happy to stop and see that. He wanted me to make sure and get the sign that says rainbow trout in the picture so make sure to notice that.
My wonderful grandpa is so great with all the grandkids and great grandkids. I think he has 27 grandkids and 22 great grandkids with one great grandchild on the way.
My beautiful mom. Like I mentioned earlier it was her birthday the weekend we were in Oregon and I was so glad I could be there for that. I love my mom so much and now that I'm a mom I am so thankful for all she did for me growing up and still does for me this day. She is an amazing person and I learn so much from her. She is such an example to me of patience, kindness, unselfishness, compassion, and basically she is just really good at everything she does!!!!
My awesome sister Stacey also lives in Oregon so it was a lot of fun to hang out with her too. I love how her and Haylee are sitting in front of the fire together. Very cozy! Haylee is all smiles and giggles around Stacey. They sing together and have a good time so that was fun.

Karen thanks for inviting me to your blog...I feel very special! :) Your haircut is soooooooo cute!! And Haylee is getting so big, she's a little person now! And...don't worry the last one, but your Easter pictures are so cute! I love the little props you use, she looks so cute!! Hope all is well...
I am so jealous. I would love to go to Oregon. It's been so long and it is beautiful up there! I love the Dino pic of you and Weston. Thats great!
I love all your captions Karen. And the Easter pictures of Haylee are soooo cute!
That's awesome that you went to Oregon! Visiting family is always the best. I love the pictures, and yes, I noted the rainbow trout sign! : )
hey, looks like you had a fun trip. hopefully we can get together sometime this week. Somebody who knows you left a comment on my blog for you... check it out sometime.
Karen---absolutely love your hair cut!!!! GOOD MOVE!!! Glad you're trying to convince Weston to move to Portland...how's that going? Isn't marriage all about both giving up some things?? Well, this is how I see it...you always said you would NEVER live in Idaho and you gave that up and live in Boise, it may be time for him to give up Idaho and move to Portland!
I always love going home. I hear your going out for the summer! That'll be fun!
It was super fun being with you for a day! Thanks so much for coming up to Washington! Haylee is darling, and you and Weston are pretty cute, too! Love you guys!
