Parties to Parks and everything in between.


I am WAY behind in my blog/journal, so I am going to say just a little bit about each topic and post pictures. It’s the pictures we want anyway right!

Graduation party
Before we left Cedar city Blake’s parents threw him a graduation party. Grandma Sharon, Jim, Jackie, Zach, Tanille, Cathy and Richard were all in attendance along with Blake, Carson and myself. The hit of the night was Blake getting his brand new barbeque grill!!!! Okay he got a picture of it and a Home Depot gift card. It is now sitting on our back porch where it gets used often.  
Here is Carson at the party



Moving Salem
We are back in Oregon!! We have learned to really enjoy Oregon and the people here they are so great. We had so many friends help us move our stuff from the storage bay to the uhaul truck. And then approx 10 guys form the ward here showed up to help us move everything into the apartment. The Relief society even brought in a meal the next day so I would not have to cook while trying to unpack. Thanks everyone. We like our little apartment the front room is spacious and the bedrooms are perfect the kitchen on the other hand is a nightmare. No counter space and no cupboards.

                                                       Here are some pictures in our new home





We are glad to announce all the boxes have been unpacked or stored. I hate living with boxes.

Mother’s Day:
For mother’s day after church we packed a picnic lunch I had made the day before and went just up the road to Silver creek Falls, and where able to hike around the lower fall. It was a very busy place that day and we plan to go back on a day that is not so crowded and visit some of the other 10 waterfalls that we did not get to see. It was a very nice outing and such a beautiful day.



You get to hike behind it, it was wonderful





Graduation
Well Blake did it he Graduated from pharmacy school, YEAH!!!! We are so excited and had a good time at graduation and celebrating just the three of us. What is next for Dr. Francisco? He has to pass his board exams. After that maybe we will get a week with no studying. Lol

Wearing our alumni shirt


8 Months old
Our little boy is 8 months old now, I can hardly believe it. He plays more and more and eats lots and lots. He has decided that naps are for babies and he is a big boy. So he screams bloody murder when it is nap time. He says momma when he is in utter distress (stuck on his tummy in a different room or anywhere he can’t see mom), loves to eat anything and everything except chicken, and loves to play with his new truck that he got from a friend, especially if daddy will play too.
He is a big boy he weighs approx 21lbs and is around 29.5in tall. I bought him a couple 18month rompers the other day and they fit him great. Lol


All the little buttons make noise or do something when played with.


He puts in his own binky

He does not crawl or roll yet but he is figuring out how to get what he wants by sliding around, and yelling.

Park
We found this fun little park that is only half a mile away from the apartment





 Well we are having fun and enjoying the adventure of being graduates and parents. 
Hopefully I will post sooner next time.
