Oregon or BUST!!

So, we are officially here in Oregon! It has been a long few weeks but we are finally here. So far it has been a bit crazy. We are staying at my mom and dad's house until we find a good place to live out here. So, it is kind of like we are in limbo. It just sort of feels like we are on vacation so it is hard to establish structure and routine again for the kids. So I think it is going to be kind of a weird month or so and then a lot of work once we really get settled to get our "normal" lives back. Until then, we are loving being here with Nana and Papa and are SO grateful. The kids, of course, are eating Nana and Papa up and trying to keep their attention 24/7. Poor Nana and Papa...I know how exhausting that can be.

Our first stop was suppose to be the half way mark at Anthony's parents house in Boise, but I hit a wall with about an hour and a half left and didn't think I could stay awake and continue to drive. So we decided to play it safe and stop at a hotel and then get a fresh start to Boise in the morning. The kids were so excited. For some reason, hotels make any trip more exciting.


After about a 15 minute adrenaline rush when we first got to the hotel at about 12:30am. The kids passed out on the bed. Gotta love Kai and the Buddah Belly.

Maya got really resourceful after a bit of boredom the next morning and played monkey bars on the luggage rack for a while.



We visited with Grammy and Bapa for a while in Boise before we started the 7 hour drive into Oregon and to Nana and Papas house in Sherwood.



What a gorgeous welcome into Oregon as the sun was setting
