Weekend in Portland

We went to Portland this past Saturday and Sunday. Here's what Kaylin looked like for most of the ride there:

To have her pacifier and bunny she has to be asleep, so she usually decides to take a nap pretty quickly when we go on long car rides. I don't complain. I don't know if you can see them, but her baby is wearing the underwear I made for the potty party. This baby pretty much always wears underwear.

After checking into our hotel, we met the family at a restaurant for dinner. It was a cute place in what used to be a school. Kaylin was very excited to see some of her favorite people. She spent a lot of time with Uncle Parker, Grandpa, and Ryanne.

Here she is with Grandpa.


Kaylin and Ryanne enjoyed their coloring pages. Kaylin really just liked going to get more crayons for her and Ryanne to use.

After a birthday party for Parker at the Lamm's, we went back to the hotel to swim. This was the highlight of the trip for Kaylin. She didn't want to get out of the pool. Thanks again Uncle Parker for letting Kaylin hang on you most of the time.



The purpose of the trip was to take part in Jack's blessing at church on Sunday. Lucky kid had most of his uncles and grandpas there. He even had his great-grandpa there. Pretty impressive considering we live the closest and we're three hours away.



What's up with all the short guys? They always make Eric stand in the back. This time he got a row to himself.

Kaylin didn't want to go home. She's still talking about the trip. Just last night we were running some errands and I said that it was time to go home. Kaylin said, "I don't want to go home. I want to go to Portland."

Thanks Carly and Parker for a fun weekend!

Also... I've heard a terrible rumor that we might be eating ham for Thanksgiving. No turkey. If anyone can confirm or correct this rumor I would greatly appreciate it. AND... no turkey might equal a Thanksgiving boycott. Just so you know. And by "you", I mean "Stephens family".

yum, ham for Thanksgiving, I don't know what you're complaining about. :) I always cook a big turkey and don't eat any of it, then I buy a little piece of ham for myself from the deli- maybe you'll have to bring your own turkey in a baggie.

We had such a GREAT weekend too! Thanks for coming. And YES! We're having HAM! It's gonna be YUMMY!! :) Have you never been to our house for a ham Thanksgiving? I'm pretty sure Parker was horrified the first time too. :)

Glad you had a nice trip!!

As for the Thanksgiving part... I would be excited for ham on thanksgiving. I am usually the very traditional type of person -- and not a picky eater at all. On thanksgiving that all changes... I just don't like turkey (unless it is on a subway sandwich!) I usually fill up on stuffing, vegetables, etc -- and believe it or not, I don't like pumpkin pie either! *gasp*

Gee... what a wonderful group of guys. Jack was in good hands obviously.
