We just got home from a great 10 days in Oregon!!! There's something about going home that makes me so happy! We went for the annual fireworks stand and timing worked out perfectly that we were in town for Sawyer's birthday party and Gwen's baby blessing. I also got to catch up with some high school friends and enjoy some of my favorite places to eat. Seriously, Gresham has some good food!!! Macraes, Truffle Hunter, Central Cafe, Jazzy Bagels and Roadhouse Grill...yum, yum, yum!
Jackson was so good at the airport and sat and watched plane after plane takeoff. He loved it!!!
The fireworks stand didn't do as well as last year, but it was better than we all anticipated with the economy as it is.
Jackson spent his days at home with Grandma playing with tons of cousins! My sister Tiffany came with her 3 kids and my nephews Jordin and Damon came too. They were later followed by a surprise visit from their dad (my brother) Mike and is youngest Kiarra and their cute dog Teeka. It was so fun being together!
Brynlee came with me to almost every one of my shifts. She was so good and was usually either asleep in her car seat behind the registers or in the baby bjorn with Kim or me.
J Dawg was so cute with her!

My dad always brings over his basketball hoops to keep us entertained when it's not busy and for customers to shoot on.
Gwen's Baby Blessing
We were so glad that we could go to Gwen's baby blessing and hang out with family for lunch afterwards. She looked adorable in her white dress!!! They are so lucky to have such a happy baby!

Sawyer's 3rd Birthday
We are always lucky enough to go to Sawyer's birthday parties because they are always during fireworks stand. Sawyer is absolutely one of the cutest kids I have ever met. He says the funniest things!

One day during our break from fireworks, Kim took all the kids outside and gave them silly string for a silly string fight. She is an amazing aunt!
The grandkids all loved Grandma and Grandpa's house!!!
Grandma painted all the girls finger nails one day...even Brynlee
Jackson wanted to use his toy pliers in place of his fork
Always enjoyable train rides from Grandpa!
