De-to-the-Poe Bay!

D and I were able to get away for the weekend to get some serious relaxation in before the Trail Blazers season officially started. We went to our favorite little spot at Depoe Bay. It was 70 degrees and sunny all weekend which is rare but much appreciated and we fully enjoyed the time to re-connect and spend some quality time together. I am so lucky to be married to my best friend!

Here are some photos from our trip...

Our morning walk on the beach

This is Spammy (named after my Dad and Mom, Steve and Pam) because they love finding cool things on the beach. He was still alive so we saved him...

Some pretty pictures. It was so peaceful.

Pumpkin Patch

I wanted to update this post because we carved our pumpkins and made delicious pumpkin seeds...I made my JaJa's (my grandpa) recipe and they were as delicious as I remembered them being as a kid.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Fall has arrived...spider webs, vibrant leaves, chilly weather, rain and of course, Pumpkins. So we went to the pumpkin patch as a family last Sunday and picked some beautiful pumkins to decorate for the season. Here are some photos of our excursion....

Can you find David? He's concentrating on finding the perfect pumpkin!


Found it!

Cause this is ladies night!!

We had ladies night on Friday and went to Lola's room for some 80's! Those of you Portlanders that haven't been, you must work Lola's Room 80's night into your schedule sometime soon.

Thank you to my ladies for a great night out!



"Oh Mickey, your so fine, your so fine you blow my mind...hey Mickey!"

Run...Erin...Run

Bob (my wonderful Father-in-law) and I decided to run the Portland 5 miler together this year...well actually I have been promising I would run it with him for the past 4 years and have never gotten my act together in enough time to actually run. So 2009 was the year!!

We had a blast! Bob was so encouraging and Katie and Jesse were there to cheer us on as well. I would never have been able to do it without them. I had never run 5 miles before in my life so crossing the finish line was sure a big accomplishment for me.
