Temple square

We went to temple square tonight to see the Christmas lights. It was fun to see how much the city had changed since I had been down there.

Race Track

I took the kids to PIR, Portland International Raceway. One of my friends from work was racing his car there so we went to watch the action happen. They were also having the British Field Meet. There were a ton of Jaguar's, Landrovers, Crazy original mini's, along with some of the coolest little open wheel race cars. Oh to be a millionare and have the money to race. I guess I better spend my few bucks somewhere else.

Pattern maker

I came home from work the other day and went to set the table for dinner. When I opened the drawer I found the silverware all neatly arranged. Come to find out Jaida was making patterns. It's fun to watch your kids grow up and learn.

Camping with the girls

We went to the daddy daughter campout. The girls and I had fun roasting marshmellows and sleeping in the big tent. It rained on us during the night and Jaida decided to drink a lot of juice and had to make a 2 AM latrine run.. After a rousing pancake breakfast we went to the river and played..

is that a hippo?

We went to our ward party but it got rained out. So we went to the Tillamook cheese factory and then to the Cape Mears lighthouse. It was really foggy so Meg got some really cool shots with her camera.

On the road

We drove back home yesterday. It took us just under 12 hours to get here. Part of the in drive entertainment for the girls was Logan. He loved to play kick the ball. It was great to see the Columbia river and sleep in my own bed. Thanks for the fun Utah time everyone!

Hot tub!

I also cleaned a little bit in the hot tub room. We found our microwave from Texas that was still in the original box the ward members packed it in when my parents moved 14 years ago..
At least you can see and open the top to the hot tub now.

Making Mom Happy

I spent today getting my parents garage cleaned out so my mom could have her car in the garage. It has always been full of my dads work boxes from Texas. So for 14 years it has been sitting in the garage.

Now it is finally gone and my mom can get her car in the garage so the Utah heat won't ruin the car.

Jedi's beware

Also at the parade were the star wars guys. I think some of these guys have waaay too much time on their hands.

Catching up with the past.

We went to the parade and we saw the car that the ID guys did after I graduated from the program. My professor died this year so they had a special sign for it.

Nudge bump and grind

After a few minutes and some really skinny thinking. I was able to get the Accord in the garage. Here in Portland, they think that most families have one small car and a bike so all garages are tiny. But now we can keep both cars out of the rain.

Cleaning the Mess

Well, I spent most of my vacation cleaning and moving my dad's "stuff" to his new office. More needs to be done, but while going through stuff in the garage, I found the roll of fabric my mom used to cover our old couch we had back when I was 5.

Getting to Utah

We made it to Utah just before midnight. So we beat our record time. We would have done even better had we not hit construction traffic at 11 at night. Meg even decided that she wanted to drive so she got to drive 150 miles of the 800.

The girls loved watching movies and Logan loved the whole trip till we got to Utah. So we had screaming Bubba for an hour.
