Portland or bust!!!!

Mom and I are running away this weekend....Portland or Bust. It is our little holiday of sitting through hours and hours of cheer competition. But we love it. We are heading out tomorrow. Gonna watch these hoodlums compete....

Yup. We are gonna walk, and snack in these gorgeous street of Portland. It really is a pretty city. We don't even have time to tackle it properly!

And, like the big city gurls we are....we take the public transportation around. Mmmmhmmmm....even if we could have walked there quicker. We take transit thank.you.very.much! That's how we roll!

And....the best part....we sneak here and get lost for hours!!!! Then have to rush back to the cheer competition usually, but we could get lost here all day if someone let us! Lots to see!!!!! Shhhh...don't tell David. Gonna bring my credit card just in case :-) I mean, helllooooo! Can you ever have too many books? I think not!

Tough loss


We found out this week that all teams made it into the play off's for basketball so Jordan's first play off game was tonight. We have beat this team before but they had a tall kid who just about did everything for their team, all game long. It was a well fought game, we stayed within a point, usually we were ahead by a point until the 4th quarter. In the end, we lost the game but it was a good game. I would much rather watch a close, well played game than a blow out but my old nerves just can't take this. Was hoping with him playing rec I wouldn't get as into it, but I just can' t help it. Jordan has played some really good basketball these last few games. He is tired tonight! The Carlsen family came out and watched too - Thanks guys!!!

Jordan's last game

Gramoom and Auntie Aim came all the way here to watch Jordan's last game. Ummmm....Auntie Aim...someone is gaining on you! Gramoom has already been surpassed.

Auntie Aim doing a little of her Auntie torture. I might not have been so brave seeing as how this was AFTER the game...

Shootin free throws.

I think Jordan had his best game as of yet. He did really well the whole game. Fun to watch. Sad to see the season end actually. Playing rec was kind of nice. Not an every day thing, just a couple of days a week. It was perfect actually.

Celebrity!

Jordan was in the local paper. He is the one standing on the edge of the pool in the dark shorts, and Zach is down in the pool right in front of him. I have no idea who saw it, it is a tiny little picture but Zach pointed it out to us....quite the celebrity!

Thanks Katie!!

Katie got me the cutest little t-shirt for my birthday, wasn't that sweet??? And painted me a little chest with some yummy chocolate!!!! Lucky meeeee!

A friend of Larrie's did a pencil drawing of Barkley. I love it. I am going to see if she'll do one of Buddy Roo.

something smells fishy

Poor Barkel....

Stop the torture!!!

Doggie love

The Mustang

Larrie bought the Mustang from David and he put some new rims on it and got the hood a little paint job...

Checking out the engine....
