Portland Saturday Market

We went to the Portland Saturday Market today.It was like a fancy hippie swap meet. It was great.

They also have this fun fountain there.

The kids loved playing in it.

Kes got brave and went through.

Tons of people come every week to shop, eat and hang out.

He loves to be free!

VooDoo Doughnuts

We went to VooDoo Doughnuts!!!We have been wanting to try this place since we saw it on the Food Network shows.

So many tasty choices.

Our selection.

mmmmmm bacon maple!

By far the best kind!

Chad loved it too!

Ya, I tried a piece of every kind- all 14!

New Home

Our new home. View from our back balcony.

View from our front balcony.

We are in all 3 floors.

Street view.

It is so pretty here.

This is the freeway- just beautiful.

It makes freeway driving enjoyable.

On to Oregon

Heading out at 3 am. Chad wants me to mention that the truck weighs 8ooo lbs, we towed 6000 lbs- plus all the human and moving stuff weight- and we still got 17 mpg on the way to OR. The flash was a little much.

Poop break- oh, the joys of motherhood.

Pretty red rocks in Utah.

Hi Chad!

Traveling in style. Cal's face is white from donuts and Kes has no shirt from barfing up his Dramamine on it- pretty nasty pill, I don't blame him.

Interesting blue rock.

Taking a break at a school playground, illegally, since school was in session.

We tried the public park, but used condoms at the bottom of the slide is a no go.

This playground was nice though.

This is in Green River, UT.

WEEEEE!

Another break at Ange's Grandma Norma and Grandpa Ira's house in Mapleton, UT.

Playing Grandma's organ.

The camera died before Chad could set the timer and jump in the picture.

Next day we stopped in La Grande, OR for a park break.

Kes is rocking nausea bands on his wrists instead of trying Dramamine again.

The race is on.

Celebrating Nana Elayne

We had a chance to go down to Arizona to celebrate the life of Chad's Nana Elayne, Ina's mom, who passed a few weeks ago. Elayne was a person who lived life to the fullest and was happy to do so. Tons of people showed up to her Celebration of Life Party on Saturday and we were able to share in the love and spend some great time with family. It was a beautiful and fun filled weekend. Here are some pictures of the tender, competitive, hilarious, fun, random and even illegal things that went on.
