Portland Continued

Just some more pics for our families back home!

Portland

A couple of weeks ago, we were able to able to go to Portland for the weekend. While there, Jeff and I did a session at one of the most beautiful temples! It was so wonderful, it lifted us up the rest of the weekend. Hilary was with us so she watched the girls for us. The next day we took the girls and Hilary to walk around the grounds. It was so packed! They were very busy, but what temple isn't on a Saturday? Also, there were quite a few people in work clothes cleaning the grounds, gardening, and scrubbing the temple.

Smooth Madilynn

I know this is a long video, but I just had to post it! Madi has been surprising me with her dancing. Gracie usually is the one to shake it and command the attention, but not last night! Go Madilynn! (I don't think Gracie liked the camera on Madi so long, you'll see why)

Little Dancers

Gracie in green

I love putting on some Michael Jackson and watching my girls dance! They only really dance to his music. I think it's time to get them into dance lessons!

Party at the Counter

Last October when G. Lau and G&G Baird came up to visit and celebrate the girls' 3rd birthday, G Lau started a "party". This is how she got the girls to eat some food one day she was here. She let the girls bring their stools into the kitchen and eat at the counter top. Now they sometimes like to do it still. So this is them having one of their parties, eating dinner in their princess outfits with straight hair. Hey, whatever works to get them to eat right??? Madi is Snow White and Gracie is Cinderella :)

Beach House

Awesome jet tub!

Cute! Shopping at the awesome outlet mall.

My beautiful sisters Kelsey and Hilary.

At a neat cemetery on our way there.
Two days after Christmas, we drove up to Lincoln City. My parents rented a beach house for two nights and three days. It was so much fun. We really missed my other sister, Cordie and her family. Really wished they could have been there too. Unfortunately it rained the entire time, but we stayed indoors and played a lot of pool and games we brought. The girls just loved it! They will still sometimes talk about the beach house. Thanks again Mom and Dad! We love you and miss you all.

Sunday Pics

It is always fun going to church when my family is here, and of course there are pics to be taken! We missed Hilary, she had to work. :(
