*Trip so Far*


Katie and I have had a great trip so far! Our first night on the road we stayed at an RV Park in Lake Shasta. It wasn't too bad, not the place we had planned on, but it worked!
This is a picture of Mount Shasta from I5 on our way to Crater Lake. It was really hot where we were and no snow and very clear! We had a great view of Shasta.
This is a picture of Katie and me our first night with our super cool kids headlights in the tent. We were really excited!
Katie and me at Crater Lake! It was so warm and clear and beautiful!
This is our campsite at Susan Creek on the Umpqua River between Crater Lake and Roseburg. It was a gorgeous campground.
We are now in Hillsboro, a suburb of Portland, getting ready for Katie's cousin's wedding. On Sunday we are going to Hood River.

*Morro Bay and Bible Party*

We went camping this weekend in Morro Bay with my parents and some of the Pizza Night crew. We had a great time! Waldo enjoyed his first camping experience, we got to see the Easter Chicken, and tested out all of our new camping equipment that we got for the wedding. We also did a couple of hikes, which seemed to tire my Dad and Mat out.
Here they are, napping in our new chairs in the sun!
This is a picture of our little family overlooking the mudflats in Morro Bay on our hike through the Elfin Forrest. So cool! And WINDY!

Along with our camping excursions, we decided to have an Easter party last thursday. The theme was to dress up as someone or something from the Bible. Not everyone came, but everyone who did dressed up. It was great! I love seeing everyone and dressing up just adds a little flair to the evening. Here is a picture of Tessa, Katie and Me, late in the evening.

We had had quite a few margaritas and a couple games of beer pong by this time.


Tommy and Josh dressed up as Mormon Missionaries. That's my pink bike helemt.



This was taken at the beginning of the night. Katie was Eve (thus the apple), Melissa was Mary Magdalene, I was the Seventh Commandment (Thou shall not committ adultery), and Katie was the "virgin" Mary.
We had a great Spring Break, eventhough neither of us actually has a spring break now. Thanks to everyone who made it what it was!
What did you do for Easter?

*On the Inside*

The inside of our house is finally done! Here are a few pictures!
This is the living room. Brown and orange of course!
Living room looking at the kitchen, before we got new floors.

Kitchen and new floors!
