Over the hills, and through the woods.....to Grandma's house we come!

PORTLAND, OREGON Here we come!

Here's Aydan on the ride to Boise. He was very excited to ride in the big airplane to see Grandma!
He was being a goof and trying to steal the camera away from me! He did pretty well on the ride there. He was spoiled with new books, puzzles, and toys, that occupied him pretty well. He fell asleep the last hour...so that was nice!


Melanie and Aydan waiting to get on the plane!

Here's Justin getting a snack in before the 45 min ride!
Aydan was so cute, looking at all the planes. Very curious indeed! Oh! and Aydan got his very own suit case....a penguin back pack with wheels! It was full of entertainment....he did awesome at pulling it around! How cute!



When we arrived in Portland my mom and Dennis took us all out to eat at Almalfi's (or something like that) and it was delicious! It was just a block or so from where they live, so we walked. That afternoon was the only afternoon full of sunshine...so we took advantange of it!
Here's Aydan sniffin' the spring flowers! (yeah...it's spring there!)My boys, enjoying themselves!


This is a street light post, and I took a picture of it because we thought it was funny. All the staples, nails, and other things on it from former flyers and papers. It was interesting!
Here is another interesting pic of a basketball hoop. The houses in the neighborhood we were in did not have driveways so, they put their b-ball hoops in the street! While we were in Portland my mom got us tickets to see Wicked! It is the prequal and sequal to the Wizard of Oz. It was awesome and so funny. All the actors were so wonderful, and had beautiful voices! Thanks again mom and Dennis!
Here is Aydan eating candy from the Easter basket my mom gave him at my moms house. Which was small, but extremely cute!
Pool Time!
Once again Aydan is amazing in the pool, and he can't get enough. He begged and begged to go to the pool when we were not there already!
Cute pool pics of my boys! My mom, Aydan and I swimin' away!
We were lucky enough to get to go and see where my mom and Dennis both work. They work at Harry's of Basic American Foods. This particular plant makes soups. Dennis took us on a grand tour of where they make all the soup. It was really cool. There is a lot of preperation that goes on! There were buckets and bucket of ingredients! It was great! Thanks again Dennis!
Bye Portland! We will soon see you again! We had such a great time, and we both agree it was not long enough! Justin loved this little break and is mad at himself for forgetting to take the camera along we he went golfing....on a really beautiful course! Thanks again Mom and Dennis, we had a fantasic time!
