Belly Pics 5/10/13 weeks
Ok, so here are a few belly pics....don't laugh :) After looking at them I see I need to be more consistent with position and background....it really isn't interesting until the next couple of months anyway! As you can see, my chub from week 5 is still there on week 13 just a little more obvious :) So here you go, I will try and start keeping a better post now that I can sort of see a "bump". We find out what the bump is on June 3, so stay tuned!

Easter Bunnies and Naked Dude
Happy Easter everyone! Hope you all had a good weekend and for those of you here in Oregon, stayed out of the rain!!! It seems every Easter you can count on a rainy day....poor little kids looking for eggs :( No wonder most of my memories of Easter eggs hunts were inside a house!! Anyways, about the title....No we didn't see the Easter bunny but we did see the other this morning! :)
So the story goes; Matt and I are driving up to Portland to Beth and Jacob's for Easter lunch but as soon as we get onto the freeway traffic is slowed way down....oh boy. But only after a few miles, it clears right up....no problem we are back on track. At this time we see a state trooper car on a side road next to us flying past, he must have been going 80-85, and when he finally got to the on ramp he was right behind us. Of course we move over as do the cars in front of us and the cop car is gone. We get a few more miles down the road and again I see a trooper speeding along a side road and fly onto the freeway as another cop comes whizzing behind us. "Oh great, there is a huge accident in front and we are going to be stopped for hours", but we were wrong! By the time we got to Salem, we saw a line of cop cars about a mile ahead of us....Car Chase! Finally the action stopped with traffic slowing down while passing about 8 cop cars all surrounding a little red car pulled up on the middle grass median...one cop had a very large shotgun out pointing it at someone on the ground with several other cops restraining someone. Well, as we passed we got a pretty good look at this white, buck naked guy face down in the grass with his hands cuffed behind him. The female cop who was waving people pass had this look of disgust and humor on her face....you could tell she couldn't believe what she was doing on Easter morning! We have been searching but haven't found the story on the news that explains why the dude was completly naked!
Well we made it up to Beth and Jacob's, and had a lot of good stuff to eat. I have a couple of photos of the carrot cake Beth made that was just awesome! Bob and his gang stopped by for a few minutes and I finally got some updated pics of Ryder.
So here are just a few photos from today, mostly of Ryder, sorry I wasn't quick enough to get a photo of Mr. Naked Driver! :)
The Yummy Carrot Cake!
I love his mohawk

Look at those Blue eyes!
Looking up at Jacob...
....still keeping a close eye on him :)

BBQ and Birthdays
This past Saturday we had quite the gang over for Beth and Bryce's, and later realized Rasha's, birthday. What started out as just Matt's siblings ended up being a whole lot more people and a whole lot more fun :) My mom put on a little magic show, I don't know what was more fun to watch, the show or Cedric and Asa's faces. Besides the birthdays, Matt and I were showing off our finally finished house, especially now that it is officially on the market. I thought I had taken many more photos but I guess I got too distracted talking to everyone! Here are just a few from the party, mostly the little kids and a few more of Rylie for Amma Pam. Thanks to everyone who made the trip, it was a lot of fun and made us realize how we need to get together more often!

The Catch-up
Ok, I know I owe some text and some photos for my absence of late. I guess the easiest way to go about this is go through the last month and a half and chat a little about it all and put some photos at the end. So, here it goes:
Brooklyn's Birthday
Mid-February Matt and I went over to Bend to visit friends and to go snowboarding...finally. It was also my friend Cambria's little girls 1st birthday, so of course, I tried to get some cute shots of her :) Anyways as always we had a great time, Tasha loves running around with Abbie and Maddie and we love hanging out with the crew. As some of you know we are looking to move in the near future (moving stuff a little further down), and Bend is at the top of our list.
Red Hat Convention
End of February I headed down to the Red Hat Convention at the Cow Creek Casino in Riddle. This is the second year I have made the trip down to "hang out" with these crazy ladies....and it is always a blast :) The last post I had put some of the pictures from the convention up. There was the Duck Race Pool Party, the Carnival dinner, the High Tea and the 50's bash.....always moving and always changing outfits!! Photos are on the previous post...
Moving
Well after all the crazy work we have put into this house of ours, we have decided to put in on the market. We always knew we were going to sell it and actually held onto it for longer that we had originally thought! The market isn't too bad, actually, in Corvallis so we will see what happens. No idea for sure where we might end up, we have been looking at Bend, Portland, and Seattle. But we first need to sell this place! Here is a link to the listing for our house, take a look!

Nichole Van Photo Workshop
The first weekend in March (now this is where things get crazy), I flew down to Salt Lake City for a photography workshop by Nichole Van, she is just an amazing photographer that I really admire and she was offering a beginners workshop....I just couldn't pass up the opportunity. Plus Matt and I have racked up a few airline miles so at least the trip down was cheap :) As a bonus, I ended up staying with one of the other workshop participants that lived close by in their huge beautiful house with the most amazing views! I wish I took some photos of that! Anyways, it was a blast, I learned a lot and hopefully will be able to start using some of the tips! Here is Nichole's website and Flicker page to get an idea of her work. http://nicholevan.typepad.com/ or http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicholevan/
Here are a couple of sample shot we were practicing with:
Mexico
So I flew into SLC on Friday and flew back to Portland on Sunday. Matt met me at the airport, we went out to dinner with Beth and Bryce, stayed the night at Beth's house and Beth drove us back to the airport at 5:45 the next morning to catch a flight to Mexico! I told you it was crazy....in 72 hours I had been on 6 different flights! All I can say was I was happy when we finally got to the warm and the sun! And happy that Pam and George were there to meet us :) There had been a little concern that they would make it down on time and be there waiting, but the sun and relaxation must have done them well....they were there smiling with a beer in hand waiting to show us the ropes of taking the bus all around town.
First stop, of course, was the grocery store to stock up on the essentials. Although we would be staying at a little apartment/condo, our plan was to spend the first 2 nights on the boat. There is definitely a different boating world amongst all the sailors....even the first night as we ate out at a little outdoor restaurant we ran into multiple people that knew Pam and George (they were both referred to as "Mollyhock") and these people knew where they had come from, what their travel path had been and were asking about other boats they hadn't seen in a while. It was really pretty funny. Anyways, our first full day we sailed out to some islands that were suppose to have some good snorkeling, (it was pretty cloudy and choppy weather so we didn't get in), and then off to anchor off the beach that our condo was near.
The place we ended up staying was great, I would totally recommend it. We aren't the big resort type so this was perfect, a 2 bedroom place among 3 or 4 other units about a block from the ocean in the middle of this tiny little town. Here is the website for anyone interested; www.casalaspalmas.net the owners were so funny and nice, willing to do anything for you. I really don't have a whole lot since we did a lot of hanging out and enjoying the sun and company. We did have a surprise the first night though, we happened to get there on the town's birthday celebration night (now remember this was a Wednesday night, not Friday or Saturday), and do they know how to party, and play music loud....until 3:30 in the morning!! We bought fresh shrimp and fish and spent a lot of time cooking and eating :) On Saturday we finally got to do some snorkeling on the other side of the bay. The funny thing is to get there, Irene (the owner) dropped us off in front of this huge wood gate that had an obvious "No Trespassing" sign and told us that you just pop through the hole in the fence and follow the dirt road down to the beach. We were a little skeptical at first but it was all ok and we ended up at a gorgeous empty beach! So of course we had a blast but I am glad to be done traveling for a bit! :)
Pam and George looking like they are floating in the water, (actually they are in a dingy)
My little horse friend that got tied up the the fence with no food or water for 2 days....I took him water, we was a little mouthy :)
and last but not least......
Frog
During all of this craziness Matt and I found out that we are pregnant and due around mid October. So far everything has gone well, we had our first appointment last week and everything looks to be on its way :) If you are confused from the title, we have lovingly named it Frog, until we know the sex and have a name! After all of this we have realized we can't do just one life changing thing per year...we always end up doing at least a couple....(buying a house/getting married, selling a house/having a baby) :) oh well.
Well I think I have caught up at least a little bit, hopefully this post gives you a little in site to all the fun we have been having lately!!

Although this was the end of our trip, I thought this would be a good picture for the beginning of this website
