Project 365

I have been spending more time focusing on my Photography and trying to find ways to pick up the camera. Well a fellow Photographer came across this idea and has been doing it the last week and a half. It seems so simple yet so complex! You have no control over the topic you go with what is given, there for you have to use your camera in ways that you may not of thought before! Brilliant! So I created another blog to showcase my one picture a day for 365 days. I am going to start tomorrow this weeks topic is In the Kitchen. I will be on the third day so only four days of this topic. This will also help motivate me to blog more!! I am excited! Make sure you add it to your google reader so you can check in everyday and leave me some feed back. There is also a link on this page just click the Photography link on your right.

New Hair do's

I have been wanting to try some new do's on the girls, Madison's hair has gotten long enough to do more with and Trinity has such curly hair but it has gotten long enough as well. I figured today would be a good day to start since they were going to church with Grandpa and Grandma. Well it wasn't as easy as I was hoping but the finished product was adorable. So here they are. Trin was a little grumpy till I said where is the Doggy

(we have no dog some how it always works..lol)

Enjoy!

My cuties

I know I have been absent... Sorry! The reason is because I am pregnant and blogging has been the furthest thing from my mind. I have had no desire or drive to sit down and say anything. I have done tons the last five weeks but will save that for another time.
I took some cute pics of Alexis and some of Brandon at soccer today so I will post them for now. I am trying to get inspired to post a great update but as of now blah. =)

I threw in one of Maddy and Tirn too.

A day at Saturday Market

The Saturday Market in Portland, Or is a mixture of the high class, the hippies the regulars and the freaks of the Pacific North West. You never know what your going to get when you venture threw the small aisles of the eclectic booths. You see everything form soap to jewelry to fuax Jimmy Hendricks willing to take a picture for some change... It has a little bit of everything great about Portland. For these reasons we had to take Ricky to show him around and give him a taste of what Ptown is all about. We brought Alexis and Brandon as well, there first time at Saturday Market. It was a fun day. They saw a lot asked a lot of questions and ate some good food. Isa was so good and I think she loved the loud sounds of music, people and the max. We sat under the trees on the waterfront and enjoyed our surroundings while feasting on some of the Markets finest food. I got a chicken skewer with rice, noodles and and egg roll. It was delish! Ricky and Tracie got a plate of Mexican delight. Rice, beans and a burrito. The kids had to get a Big Elephant ear( You can't avoid the Elephant ear stand with two kids around, they are drawn from miles away) and some fresh squeezed Lemonade. We all shared with Isa, she was enjoying the variety. After our bellies were full and we had a nice break we took a walk to the famous fountain on the Waterfront. This thing is awesome and especially so on a hot summer day. People come to let the kids play and cool off. The only bad thing is it wreaks of chlorine. Other then that it is a beautiful sight. It changes its form every few minutes and so you never know what is coming next. It is really fun. Alexis went in fully clothed! Pants and all! She talked Brandon into getting his feet wet but when he was close enough pulled him in! They had a blast. We decided after the fountain it was time to head home. We had our fill and thought the pool sounded nice. So we went to Grandma and Grandpas for a swim. Once the kids were cooled off we took them home and then went for some Sushi. Tracie has been craving it and I am always up for Sushi so we went to a little place here in town by the mall. We curbed our craving for the moment had some nice conversation and called it a day. I can't tell you how nice it is to have Tracie around. I love our talks and the time we have had to bond. We talk a lot on Skype when she is in Peru but there is nothing like having her here. I am so glad that we are getting this time together. I just love having a sister!

Today Nathans grandparents are coming for a visit. We are going to have dinner with them.I am making a yummy dessert from Pioneer Woman!
I am sure I will have more pictures to share later. =)

What I will be making for Dessert tonight! Thanks Pdub!

Feeling Great...

Sure is a great feeling! LOL
This week has been so much fun and it isn't over yet! Tracie Ricky and Isa finally arrived on Tuesday! It has been to much fun spending time with them. The girls just love each other. Trinity is really great with Isa she holds her hand and shows her things, she tends to pull on her a little hard at times but not to bad. Trinity doesn't understand how Isa can walk but can't do things crazy like her. It prolly makes the wheels turn in her head!

We are so happy to be able to spend this time with them. We will be sad to see them go. I am glad it isn't till the middle of August!
We are excited for the next few weeks and all the stuff we hope to do like the zoo, Seattle, beach, camping. I am looking forward to buliding the memories!! I will be updating as much as possible!

For now here are some pictures so far.
