Yay for getting our car seat! But we are going to have to exchange it because it won't fit on the BOB :(

Breanna and I... Good friends since 8th grade! She is expecting her 2nd boy in mid June. I can't believe we are having baby boys a few weeks apart from each other!

Diaper Cake made by my Aunt Karin... its so pretty I don't want to take it apart!

Babymoon

Last weekend we headed over to the coast for a little Babymoon. We stayed at the Craftsman B & B in Pacific City. This was the first time we had stayed in a Bed and Breakfast. It was fun, but I'm not sure if we are the Bed and Breakfast type. It felt like we were guests in a stranger's home. I think next time I would rather we spend the money on a nicer hotel. Here are some pictures of the weekend...

33 weeks... He will be here before we know it!!

This weekend we are headed to Medford for my baby shower!!

Way to go River Design Group!!

River Design Group, the company Russell works for was named one of The 50 Best Places to Work. River Design Group was listed #27 one above Keen! Other names on the list were Cliff Bar & Company, Eddie Bauer, Patagonia and Timberland. 


Flathead Beacon, a weekly newspaper serving Western Montana (RDG's main office is located in MT)  featured an article about River Design Group being listed in Outside Magazine.


If you are interested in seeing the list pick up Outside Magazine! I looked for the list on their website but couldn't find it. But the magazine is on news stands now! 

Happy Easter!

I hope you all had a great Easter! We spent our Easter Sunday a little differently then we usually do. This was the second time in my life that I wasn't with my family. This year we decided to stay home for Easter. In the morning our church met bright and early at a park in Corvallis and did some clean-up to it. Then after that we headed down the road to the fair grounds where we had our church service. It was different wearing our dirty work clothes to Easter Sunday church service. But it was fun to pitch in and help at a local park which doesn't get much TLC. Then this evening we hosted dinner for 6 couples who didn't have any where to be for Easter dinner. I cooked my first ham, made Bartlett Baked Beans and deviled eggs! Everyone else also brought a side dish. It was hard not to be with family today but we are very blessed with great friends!

The words to this song is why I celebrate Easter...

True Love

By Phil Wickham

Come close listen to the story 

About a love more faithful than the morning 

The Father gave his only son just to save us 

The earth was shaking in the dark 

All creation felt the Father's broken heart 

Tears were filling heaven's eyes 

The day that true love died, the day that true love died 

When blood and water hit the ground

Walls we couldn't move came crashing down

We were free and made alive

The day that true love died, the day that true love died

Search your heart, you know you can't deny it

Come on, lose your life just so you can find it

The Father gave his only son just to save us

The earth was shaking in the dark 

All creation felt the father's broken heart 

Tears were filling heaven's eyes 

The day that true love died, the day that true love died 

When blood and water hit the ground

Walls we couldn't move came crashing down

We were free and made alive

The day that true love died, the day that true love died

Now Jesus is alive 

Jesus is alive 

Jesus is alive 

Jesus is alive

Jesus is alive

oh He is alive

He knows he can

When blood and water hit the ground

Walls we couldn't move came crashing down

We were free and made alive

The day that true love died, the day that true love died

Come close listen to the story

Side note: Despite the rain and wind, Russ finished the fence this weekend! (Yay) Pictures to come...
