Monster Trucks














James took the boys to see the monster trucks for the first time with his mom and dad and their cousin Javon. Personally I think he just wanted to check out the Ducks new basketball arena. Maybe that is why I subconsciously dressed the boys in their Beaver gear and didn't even realize it until the next day :) The boys had lots of fun but i think their favorite part was getting to wear the ear muffs. They started practicing with them earlier in the day and even wore them all the way home. Grandma and Grandpa Dodge know how to keep the boys happy...food. They ate lots of pop corn and had flags to wave too. They were all tuckered out by the time they got home.

AC Gilbert's Discovery Village
















Nana had the day off so we high tailed it up to Salem and took the boys to the Gilbert house for the first time. The boys were the perfect age for this and they loved all of the activities. Despite the drizzly gray weather I think their favorite part was all the outdoor play structures.

Salem Riverfont Carousel








I've been wanting to take the boys up to the carousel in Salem forever now so it worked out perfect to stop by on our way home from the Gilbert house. The boys loved the horses and they didn't seem to get dizzy like mommy and nana did.

Aunt Lorraine


The boys got to see their great-great-aunt Lorraine today. She is my grandmother's younger sister and she lives in Portland. While I was in the hospital at Legacy Emanuel Lorraine came to visit me every Thursday and spent the entire day there. This is the first time that she has seen the boys since they were one day old in the hospital. She came down for my grandma's birthday and she brought the boys some really cool bouncy balls that light up.
