Sunny Sunday!

Our new house is just down the street from a great park. We walked down on Sunday to enjoy the beautiful weather.
Here are my favorites (there's a lot!)

Another Day, Another Party!

It seems that we have had a lot of things to celebrate lately. Last night, we hosted a SURPRISE party for one of my best friends, Maria. We tried to plan a party last year for her 30th, but she and I were both pregnant in our 3rd trimester and not the biggest party animals at the time. So we made it up to her this year with a great party... And the best part was that she was actually surprised. Love Surprises!

Ummm, we are really mature!

I'm going to end this post with a sequence of our friend Matt eating about 50 little smokies and all the sauce.

He got paid 100 buckaroos if he could do it. You better believe that he could put that down.

 What a supportive wife...

Last bite and 100 dollars paid!

 

That wraps up the second party at our new house!
We just Love our new pad!

 Up next is Ella's big first birthday!

Everything but a Smile

I did a little photo shoot trying to get a picture for Ella's birthday invite and this is what I got...

Everything but a smile.

Wait, is that a smile?...oh no, she is just eating.

Yum

Ladies weekend

I'm off for my first girls weekends since becoming a mom. I'm both excited and nervous but mostly just excited! I'm excited to spend time with my favorite ladies and for Ella to spend some quality time with her daddy. Here is a photo from our last girls' getaway! 

Cheers to the Golden Girls!

This week was all about our Oregon Ducks. 

On Monday we had our first party at the new house to watch the Ducks play Auburn in the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP! The party was a success... the Ducks were not! We lost in the final seconds to a field goal. We are still very proud of our 12-1 Ducks. It was an amazing season and we can't wait for next year!

Our roomy house was great for the party.

Ella Boo loved all the food, especially Sara's cheesy rice!


GOOOOOO Ducks

Sara got her hair done by Alayna

The kids loved the stairs! That kept them busy all night.

 

 Jimmy was our big winner. He has yet to pick up his money. The holding interest is adding up quickly!

A half-time costume change! Quack Quack!

On Thursday, Grandpa John got us tickets to opening night at Matthew Knight Arena. We were very impressed with the Arena and the show they put on, and as an added bonus- The Ducks Won!

We took lots of pictures to remember that special night!

 Remember this photo from her first and last trip to Mac Court.

Here she is with Mom and Dad with the Knight Family on the court behind us. We are excited to go to more games and maybe some cool concerts here at Matt Arena.
