portland, OR

We took a little trip to Portland to look into some jobs. We had a great time! It was a little rough getting to portland (flight drama) not Graham he was great just cancelations and what not, but we finally made it a day later and got to enjoy the beaufitul city of Portalnd. We stayed downtown in a fun area with plenty of shopping to keep me content. We also enjoyed some yummy restaurants. Plus the best part was seeing our sweet friends the Ben & Megan and Andy & Rachel. It was so fun to see both of them. Thanks for letting us see you guys!

little graham at our hotel...we missed Sophie but she didn't seem to miss us. Maybe we should go out of town more often...

Multnomah Waterfall

What! The trees and leafs were ridiculously huge! Could you imagine racking these? I felt like a vampire was going to come out and get me...

The Portland temple was truly beautiful. I could have stayed on the temple grounds for hours.

three months

sweet graham was offically 3 months old on halloween. I can't believe how fast he is growing. He is so much fun! He is smiling all the time and just started to giggle...we can't get enough of that sweet sound. He recently started rolling over and is getting pretty good at grabbing things (it's sweet to watch him concentrate). Sophie can't get enough of him. She loves to squeeze him (sometimes a little too tight) and when he cries she sings a song called best buddies...pretty much all she sings is best buddies....best buddies.....best buddies. It is too cute! We are LoViNG both ages of our kids right now.

Halloween...boo!

We had a fun Halloween. The night before we carved pumpkins and had homemade hot chocolate. Then on Halloween we went to Pumpkin Fest during the day in downtown Franklin (which is one of my favorite things..it full of all these fun activites for FREE) Sophie had a blast! That night we went to the Critchlow's for Chili then headed out for some trick-or-treating. It was perfect weather, a little cool..felt just like fall. The best part was when people would ask Sophie what she was for Halloween she would say" A titty tat." She was a cute Kitty Cat and enjoyed every minute of it! Graham enjoyed his ride in the stroller...maybe next year he'll get some candy.

Sophie only wanted to make a happy pumpkin...so this is what Ben came up with.


John looks like a ghost in this pic...pretty spooky!!

Look at that face..she was so excited!

The end result, now I have to hide her pumpkin because she wants candy 24-7.
