What a busy week already! I ended up going to The Dalles monday morning and stayed the night so my aunt and uncle could see the kids before they headed back to Utah. Thats a long drive with just me and the kids. Its a little over 2 hours. More like 2 and a half when you have to stop and pee! We had a great time though. Owen played so hard with his cousins. Brielle fell in love with uncle Jack, but that might just be because of her vast love for MEN. I am in SO much trouble with her, or will be someday. She absolutely LOVES men. Its ridiculous!!!! I am supposed to be doing laundry right now, so I can start to pack for our trip. We leave sunday. I am so excited and cannot wait to take the kids to the zoo in Portland next week. Its going to be so much fun. Owen is absolutely going to love it!!! We are going to be gone for 8 days. It will be a great little vacation for us all.
