Ice cream anyone?

Housewarming Party!

Yesterday, Steve and I hosted a housewarming party and invited friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors to check out our new house.  It was a great success with over 50 people coming through to get the tour.  A BIG thank you to Greg and Cathy who gardened, weeded, painted, arranged flowers, BBQ'd, helped with prep and clean-up, and kept our guests happy while Steve and I gave tours.  Here are some pics of our new house for those that couldn't make it.  Party pics to come soon!

Jamison Park

Kaelyn and I have been enjoying some beautiful SUNNY weather in Portland lately.  We met Steve for lunch today at this park that just happened to be the first day the water was turned on at the fountain.  Kaelyn's lucky day!  The news crews were on site and we got interviewed as well.  We will have to watch the news tonight to see if we made the news!  Kaelyn was so sad when it was time to go.  We will definitely have to go back! Here are some pics and video from our fun time.

My Cleaning Helper

After watching mommy clean the house, Kaelyn decided she could do it too.
