Bubbles

While I was home for spring break I got to spend some time with my niece! She has gotten so big and she definitely keeps all of us busy. One of the many things that we did was blow bubbles and she loved it.

Lacrosse

Jon was in LA over Spring Break for lacrosse so his season is in full swing now! I went and saw him play for one of the first times since his injury, I was very excited to see him play although I have to admit I was nervous the whole time. He has gotten so good and you can definitely tell that he is a lot faster than most of the players on the field. In fact at one of his games, someone actually tried to stop him by putting their stick around his neck and drag him down.... needless to say I wanted to punch that guy. Even though it's a rough game, Jon loves playing and this is his last season. I'm not sure what he is going to do with out lacrosse.. hopefully he can find a men's team he likes. Anyways... back to this being his last season you should ALL come to at least one of his games! Here are the only games left that are in Oregon and you SHOULD attend.

Friday, April 03 in Eugene VS Simon Fraiser @ 7pm (Best game to come to)
Sunday, April 05 in Eugene VS Washinton @ 12pm
Saturday, April 18 in Portland VS Oregon State @ 1pm (Sunset High School)

Please come support Jon in his last season it would really mean a lot to me and I know it would mean a lot to him also. Well here are a couple of pictures from this season.

PS. he is the one in black

Flashback

Well all this talk of warm and sunny weather made me have a flashback to much colder and wintry conditions in December and the Arctic Blast. I still can not get over how much snow we had! We had almost 20 inches by the end of it. Well I took a series of picture over the two weeks of our "patio" so you can see the progression.

Remember when we thought this was a lot of snow? In fact we "had" to go pick up Kristie and Megan because it was so much!
And then there was more....
And then there was a lot! I have to say Portland is not prepared for this much snow and us Oregonian aren't going to forget Arctic Blast for a long time!

Arizona

I know you thought it would never happen but... I've returned. I have to apologize because the past month or so I have either been too lazy or too busy to blog and I know you've all missed me. Well in my first blog back I have pictures from Arizona. As most of you know I've gone to Arizona for as long as I can remember for Spring Break. I have to say it is always a much needed break from schoolt and also about Feburary I'm suffering from a deficiency of Vitamin D. I also start missing my big sister!

So in a matter of hours I went from dome and gloom of Eugene to....

poolside in sunny and warm Scottsdale!My second day there we spent the day in Peoria at spring training.. Mariners vs Cubs. We went with Stacy's friend Sharon and her roommate Cheyenne.
On Friday we went to Zipps for yummy burgers and watch March Madness

On Sunday we went to Barlett Lake in the middle of desert. It is beautiful BUT we encountered giant jumping desert spiders! We never laid down completely because I was on the look out for those spiders...gross. However, we were proud of ourselves because we stayed for almost 3 hours.






I had a great time and as always the time flew by. I love going to visit my big sister and I love visiting the SUN!
