Thorns Game With Cousin Kristin

Scott's cousin Kristin invited us to a Portland Thorns game.  We had never been so we were really excited to go.  We met her at her place and walked about a mile to the stadium.

Thorns score!

The final score was 1-0 with the Thorns scoring the only goal.

After the game we walked back towards Kristin's apartment.  We stopped and had dinner at Pastini's on NW 23rd. After dinner we had dessert at a yogurt shop and played Apples To Apples.

Scott and Lauren tied to win Apples to Apples.

New Flooring

We finally were able to decide on and purchase the flooring for the living room, dining room, and hallway.  

Before-with the carpet remnant we put over the painted sub floor.

Making progress

We went in to check on Lauren after bedtime and we found her fast asleep with her crochet hook and yarn in hand.

Landscaping & Flowers 4/8/15

My parents gave us some planter boxes, so I bribed Emily to help me unload the dirt from Scott's truck.  Her reward was being allowed to set up a Facebook account.  She was a happy girl!  

The planter boxes all filled with dirt

We spent a lot of time last year redoing the front landscaping. 

 It is starting to fill in and look really nice.

Easter

EASTER 2015

My Easter egg garland.  I made it last Easter.

Easter baskets

They were super excited about their Phillies t-shirts!

My parents, my brother and his wife and kids, and Scott's mom all came over for Easter dinner.  My brother, Aaron and his wife, Caitlin made dinner.  I assisted as needed.  They made chicken fettuccine alfredo.

I asked my mom to take our photo.  She struggled with it because it was 

my cell phone camera.  It was hilarious to watch her try and navigate it.
