Brewskis and Waterfalls...

Last weekend my mom came down for the annual Brewfest at the Oregon Garden! Its our new thing, we serve beer on Friday night and enjoy the festivities on Saturday! Josh and I served for Nectar Ale, they had a HEMP Ale and it was so popular! My momma served some Hawaiian Beer, I can't think of the brewery! Wailua Wheat was her most popular beer! The night was complete with an AWESOME band! Seriously, this band put all of the others to shame! Our plan was to go hiking at Silver Falls on Saturday, but the Oregon weather had other plans for us. Josh ended up working in the shop all day, while my mom and spent the whole day in the green house! It was fabulous! All of the plants are getting so big, the tomatoes especially! Finally, Saturday night... off to brewfest!

Our luck improved and Sunday was beautiful! Silver Falls here we come!

Friday afternoon hike...

I got off work a little early yesterday so Josh and I decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather!! We took a drive out to Silver Falls (about 35 minutes) and went on our favorite hike. For those of you in MN, Silver Falls is a state park that has 10 waterfalls, the hiking loop is about a 10 mile loop. We have only ever done the 6 mile loop, but its a GREAT hike!! You can hike behind two of the waterfalls, its absolutley amazing!

Easter

We had a nice laid back Easter this year! My parents and Tom came down for the weekend! The boys enjoyed some Wii golf while mom and I slaved all day in the kitchen! :)

I stopped by EZ Orchards to pick up some fresh flowers for the weekend! Tulips and Iris are in season right now and they were beautiful!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

Weekend in Astoria

Josh and I decided to head to the coast to see my parents for the weekend! It was a great weekend, I learned how to knit, we tasted some great beer "Vortex", met up with Chelsea, went clamming, visited coffee girl and of course..... ate clam chowder!
It was the worst clamming day ever! The tides were messed up because of the "tsunami"!
We enjoyed the beer and the company at Fort George Brewery! Chelsea and James stopped by to have a drink! Their Vortex beer is so good!
To end my weekend, on Sunday morning my mom and I went to the Coffee Girl! The best coffee shop on earth!

Happy Birthday to Me!

My bestie Ashley and her husband Chris came to dinner with us. Love her!
Other than the fact that I am now 25, and I'm pretty sure that there are gray hairs sprouting my head, I had a wonderful birthday this year! Josh and I went to dinner with some friends, my daddy came to visit and my in-laws made me oysters and a fabulous chocolate cake! (Costco made the chocolate cake, but its my favorite)

Everybody was Kung-Fu fighting......

Last weekend Josh and I went to witness hundreds of kids do a little Tae-Kwon-Do! We went to support Lora and Calleigh (cousins) It was basically the cutest thing I have ever seen!
Lora was so excited to show off her medal!!


Both of the girls recieved medals! These things were SO heavy! They did such a great job!
