Spring Is Coming!!!

I have always loved Spring!

Spring time here in Oregon is unlike anyother Spring I have ever seen before. It is only the very very beginning of Spring here and already it looks like back home in Logan, UT. It's crazy. I can't wait to see full bloom spring time. So excited!!!

I'll try and post pictures as I see things bloom.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

And Just When I Thought He Wasn't A Planner.....

I came home after going to my brothers state cheer tournament in Portland to find this sweet surprise left around our house. . . It just "tickeld me pink"!

*Ok first clue - When I'm on I'm hot!! If you don't pay attention to me I can ruin your whole plan???*

... The Clue Got Me To This One...

*Good job you found me, OK clue #2 - When I'm done I'm snuggle and soft, but to get this way I must first go round and round???*

...You Wouldn't Believe What I Found ...

(YUMMY ... a new oil and reed set!)

*Wow you're good!!! OK last one and this one you will have to think about. - I'm your new favorite place to sit first thing in the morning. Alot of people use this room to catch up on reading or just sit and think???*

I loved that the message is written in soap! My mirror was very clean after... :D I do want to mention the part that says "alot of people use this room to catch up on reading or just sit and think" Ha ha ha... I laughed at him. This statement is true! YA - if you're of male origin! LOL

It made a great ending to a great great day. I love you babe!!!

My flowers after a day in water! They looked so so pretty and lasted so long!

(I still have the large bouquet, it looks amazing, and today is the 28th)

Last but certainly not least I'll tell you what the card says!

*Your eyes, your smile, your laughter, your voice, your touch... I love your everything! ~ The card sings 'What I Like About You' and has a sweet little message inside for me!*

We all went and picked out a live, beautiful Christmas tree!

Chris actually found this one and we all loved it! It fit PERFECT!
After the kids strung the lights we ALL decorated it. Needless to say, my dad had done so well it was everyones favorite!!!

The decorations were amazing and the tree was so fun to decorate!

Adding some finishing touches! :D
My favorite! The little elves in the windows!!!
Paige added even more around the house and now you can't help but to feel so happy when you walk in!

Shopping in PORTLAND

What a day of fun....

Here is all of us girls across the street from Saks Fifth Ave.
Just outside there was a man playing on plastic drums, he was very very good. There was a man tieing ballons and a bagpipe player.
My favorite was the statue! I had know idea that he was real when I walked by until everyone was taking pictures. :D

Just after lunch! We all felt so much better.
Paige and I at Jakes Bar and Grill. (Notice my new coat!!! I LOVE IT!)

The end of a long, fun day shopping. From left to right: Paige, Jane, Angela, and I.
We stopped in Woodburn at the outlet mall on our way home. (I didn't feel like posting those pictures. :D)

Thanks for the fun day girls!
