Time flies!

We have dried out up here in the northwest. It was a wet winter, but spring is finally here. The first Easter we were here it was around 80 degrees, and this year it was in the 50’s. Its finally back up to the 70’s and 80’s now, and we are loving it.

Jami bought some plants for the front yard. I don’t know the names of them, except for the rose bush. Ask me about a car part and I can tell you, ask me about a flower or a bush and I will just tell you it’s a flower or a bush…so, we got a couple flower plants to put next to some other bushes in the front yard. Yeah, I am a guy, I know.

We are looking to possibly move. We are feeling like we need a bigger yard for the dogs to stretch their legs a bit. They are getting bored with the small amount of room they have, and are tearing it up. The grass is struggling, the hot tub cover is half eaten,(puppies love to nibble), and the kids chairs get pushed around the deck all the time. We need a bigger playground for them and the kids.

I don’t know if you remember JJ & Gretchen who sang in our wedding, but they came up to the coast last weekend and we met them there, spent the day with them and had a great time waling on the beach, and finding little trails to hike on. We did some more Geocaching as well. That’s always a ton of fun. The picture above is of Ana on the beach.

The kids are growing fast. Jorryn is not yet four years old and he is almost as tall as Ana. I need to measure them again to see exactly how tall they are, but they are getting to big, too soon, at least it seems so.

There is an amusement park here in the Portland area that has allot of fun rides that the kids can go on and is not expensive at all. We try to go a few times a year, and we now know for sure that Ana and Jorryn could probably take on any roller coaster Disneyland has to offer. They are CRAZY KIDS! They love all the rides.

We went to the zoo, and low and behold, we saw this sign on the way out. Apparently its okay to drink while you are in the zoo, but you can’t drink after you leave. I was confused, but now know for next time.
