Portland ZOO

It's the BIG day, but since the wedding was at 4:00 in the afternoon we decided to spend the morning at the Portland Zoo. The kids loved it and they love the word ZOOOO.

It's a beautiful zoo, so incredibly green and a great size as well.
We were not able to finish the entire zoo but we got to see allot of cool animals.
Kids language is really good now, they are saying all kinds of thing and after the zoo the new word was giraffe.

Bridal Shower

Friday morning all the women met for breakfast in honor of Melissa.

The room was filled with family and friends and everyone had a great time sharing funny stories and memories of Melissa.

The whole group!
Cheer's to Melissa, we all love you so much!

Meet and Greet

Erich and Melissa invited everyone over to their house for appetizers and drinks. They had game's set up in the backyard and everyone was able to see their new gorgeous house.

Checking out the house
Erich and Melissa got the kids gifts and they LOVED them! Logan's favorite thing now is trash. Throwing away trash, taking the trash out, watching the trash truck and his favorite word is trash. He walks around saying it all day. So he was the happiest kid when they got him a trash truck. He loves that truck! And he puts all the trash into it.... even the dirty diapers.

In The AIr

First flight of the day at 7am we were up and off to Portland. All eager and excited to celebrate my brother Erich's wedding.

This was the kids first time on a plane and they were eager to check it all out!
The flight was only about half full so we were lucky enough to get to stretch out and have two rows to ourselves. It was a huge help!

2 days of prep, 2 kids, 2 carseats, 2 strollers and seven bags later... we are in Portland

First Hair Cut

He's my big boy now!

He did so well, scared but didn't say a word. However he dug his face into Daddy's so hard he had a big red mark. SO CUTE!

A Day At The Pops

We had a great time today with Tiffany and her two boys at Irvine Spectrum. The kids love the fountains that pop up and sprout from all over.

All the boys playing together... The cutest.
Ellie needs a little while to warm up to the water.

When they aren't playing with the water they fill up their cups and drink it.

After the water we all went on the merry-go-round.

Park, Zoo and Bike Riding

We spent the day at Irvine regional park today. We started off with a bike ride over to the zoo.

Almost ready to go ride but we got a little side track with the peacocks walking by.
Logan and Daddy checking out the bear's.
They had a great petting zoo area and loved feeding the animals and brushing the animals.
Ellanie like's to feed the animals one pellet at a time... poor animals are never going to get full.
After the zoo we rode all around the park.

And ended at the playground. We all had a great time.
