Eugene Trip

Our spring break began with a long overdue

trip to Eugene to see some great friends!

We stopped in The Dalles to say hi to

Grandma, Papa, George and Heather. We made it to Eugene in time to put a very sleepy

Parker to bed. He doesn't sleep well in the car.

Then we enjoyed dinner with Jon and Lisa!

They are expecting a little one in September!The next day we went to story time at Barnes and Noble.

Parker got to meet the Cat in the Hat! We stayed with Todd, Maryn, Gibsen, and Logen.

We hiked to the top of Skinner's Butte.

The weather was perfect that day!

We had a great view of Spencer's Butte across the way.

That's where Jeff proposed to me!

He thought those cables were pretty cool too!

I love this picture! Parker adores his Daddy!

Mike, Heather, Gwen, Evan, and Claire.

Parker loved having his own cup and straw!Mike (being crazy) and Jeff

Gwen feeding a chip to Parker. Too cute!

This was one of those rare moments when

Parker fell asleep in the car. So precious!The next day we went to visit Brady, Julie, and baby Owen.

Owen wasn't feeling too well, but it was great to see them!

On our way home we stopped by the Woodburn Outlet Mall.

Parker didn't like shopping, but he had fun running around outside!

We stopped in Pendleton to see Aunt Kara.

Parker was running after Jeff and Kara saying "Wee!"

so they would swing him in the air!

Here are some video clips from our trip!

Mommy & Daddy Time

Snuggle times like this don't happen very often,

but I cherish them when they do!
