Hello my loves!
What an adventure this weekend has been!!
After work on Friday we hopped in the truck with James, Susi, and Tom. Yes, TOM! It was awesome! Where did we go?? OREGON!! We went on a short road trip and we had a blast! It wasn't short as far as the miles go, it was short as far as the days go! We left Friday around 5:30 and we pulled in about 12:30 early Sunday morning. James found an old truck he wanted to buy to help fix the one he already has. So we went with him to get it. We took our truck and it did great! It was touch and go for a little bit...pulling a huge trailer and huge truck up a mountain is rough work! But we made it! It was SO fun to spend some time with Tom. We usually don't get to see him at all so spending 36 straight hours with him was awesome!
Friday night we only drove half way. We stopped right outside of Boise to sleep for the night.
This is what happens when Tom is around...a total and chaotic mess! HA!
Saturday morning we got up early, had some breakfast at the local IHOP, and then we were on our way again!
The place we got the truck from was literally in the middle of nowhere! I feared for my life...we had to herd cows to get there...We took a scary dirt road down to where the truck was. It was a truck grave yard. Even though it was alarming, it was quite beautiful!
This picture says it all! HA! Cracks me right up!
Yup...this happened too! I'm telling you, it was an ADVENTURE!
Happy brothers!!
After we got the truck all loaded, we headed home. It was about a 9 hour drove home. We stopped and had lunch and we had to get gas...a lot. We averaged about 7.5 miles a gallon on the way home. Yikes...
Oregon is seriously so beautiful!! I wish we had the time we go to the coast. It's one of my favorite places ever!
I'm so glad all of us were able to go! Even more grateful that we all get along so well and stilled wanted to hang out with each other after spending all that time in the car together!!
This weekend we also celebrated little Luiz's birthday! He is such a spaz and a total boy but he has the biggest heart! And the little boys just love him! We were joking at dinner about how they are all different ages, but the same age mentally! HAHA!
Getting these kids to take a normal picture is nearly impossible...
He requested trick candles. All the kids were trying to blow them out. It was pretty funny!
Speaking of these children...Daren and I took them all to the park the other night. Oh the crack me up! They found this mustache there and all took turns wearing it. Who knows where it came from?! We probably shouldn't have let them play with it but oh well! Hopefully they are all caught up on their shots!
Sure do love these kiddos!!
Tonight we went to see my grandma. Her headstone looks great! And there we lots of flowers on it! I rearranged them in an orderly fashion...and cleaned the bird poop off.
And last but not least....This is going to be our new house!! We should close in about 2 or 3 weeks!! We are SOO excited!!
We went to look at carpet and Daren found one he likes! He wants it to be soft like bird feathers on his feet!
HA! I love him so much!!
That's all for now folks!
