Our first stop on our way to Alabama....Bakersfield!!

One on first night after leaving Oregon we went to Bakersfield, California. We spent the night in front of Dustin and Candi's house. We got there too late to see the kids; but our lovely daughter waited up for us. Then in the morning after being greeted with a little knock on the door by two wonderful kids we went into the house where Dustin and Candi fixed us a great breakfast. Our visit here was way too short but we were happy we were able to see everyone before we moved across the country. I had meant to take pictures with family in Oregon before leaving but never actually did it. So sorry for no pictures of us with the family in Oregon, no one will regret it more than I.

Friends from Kohl's

There are actually quite a few friends from working at Kohls in Albany that I will miss. Mitzy I will miss your laugh and your friendship. But I know we will keep in touch and keep that friendship; even if we have to travel a long ways to stay friends. Natalie I will miss your stories of your boys and miss the time we chatted in the office. Thank you for that space heater you can see behind us there; without you I would have been frozen in that chair. It is a good thing you are on line so much. So we can keep in touch. I am posting just the two pictures because I didn't get all the pictures I wanted and a few others that were taken just aren't flattering to either person. But know that I will miss many of you!

We will miss these cute faces!!!

Here are some of the faces I will miss the most from moving away. We are happy with the move and we think we will love living in Alabama. That doesn't mean we don't have people back on the west coast we will miss dearly. We will miss our family and friends. These are the faces we will miss the most! Taylor and Jayden cuddled up in the morning watching television together. Logan sucking on a fun dip stick. He loves his candy like his Momma.

Just a couple of pictures I took along a drive home in Oregon

Top picture I took on our drive home from Seaside, Oregon to Albany, Oregon. We stopped many places along the scenic drive home down the 101. Bryant is wonderful and knows how much I love to stop along the drive to just take a few pictures and look at the view. So here is a couple of shots I took on that drive home. The tree at the bottom is one that I said I liked; and there was not a place to pull over on the road we were driving on. Luckily there was no traffice so Bryant just stopped in the middle of the road. I opened the sunroof and stood up to take this picture. I love trees!

LOGAN

Just a few more pictures of an adorable little boy. Isn't he just so cute? Of course he is, he is one of my grandsons.

Seaside Oregon

Bryant and I enjoyed a weekend away in Seaside, Oregon. We had never been to this little town before and found it very nice. We stayed at a nice hotel, which a beach front room. We spent a lot of time in two oversized comfortable reading chairs, watching the ocean and reading. Want a way to relax. We walked the main street of shops and did a little shopping. Ate some wonderful food at a few different restaraunts in the area; and walked the beach enjoying each other's company. If you are in this area; this is one town to stay at for a weekend. I would recommend it to all my friends.

Logan loves Whoppers!

Logan came over with Mommy and Daddy to Grandpa & Grandma's house for dinner last night. Since he couldn't have our spicy chicken taco's and burrito's Grandpa decided to see if he likes chocolate in the form of Whoppers. And he loved them. He ate three whoppers and Grandpa thought he might loose a finger. Logan entertained us all watching him go after that candy!

Our walk on our way home

We stopped at a little pull out on our way home and found a trail. So we took a short walk and found an amazing view. It is very nice to take the time to stop and enjoy the sights along way. Makes a trip out of town even better. Spending some extra time to just relax, enjoy God's beauty and appreciate each other's company.

Mt. Washington, Oregon

Here is a view of Mt. Washington. We stopped at the viewpoint on our way home. And also a picture of me :) at the viewpoint of Mt. Washington on hwy 20.

Sisters, Oregon

Bryant and I drove over to Sisters, Oregon. Where we spent the afternoon going through all the little shops and having a wonderful lunch. A very relaxing morning and afternoon.
