Oregon Trip

This is what happens after 18 hours of driving. :)



So this last week we traveled to Medford, Oregon for Daniel's (Billy's baby brother) wedding to an amazing girl named Brittiny. We drove for 18 hours to get there with a 2 month old, 2 year old and 5 year old. Just to clarify YES we are crazy! The sacrafices we make for family. :) The wedding was beautiful! We are so happy for Daniel and Brittiny! We were able to be with the entire Chase family, it has been a few years since that has happened.


The cousins had a great time playing together.






We were also able to get together with some GREAT friends who live in Klammath Falls, OR. Billy grew up with Craig. He has an amazing wife Molly who I had got to know through blogging.

I can now say we have met and I am so blessed to have her as a friend. I'm trying to find an AMAZING job for Craig so they will move here. :)

They have 3 handsome boys (Kole, Chase, and Krew) and 1 adorable daughter (Christa). Molly and I are trying to set up a arranged marriage for Mattison and Chase. He is the one she is sitting next to on the couch.

We had a great time driving through the snow to get to their house. Molly made us a great dinner before we started our journey home. This day was also mine and Billy's 6 year wedding anniversary! Love you babe!




This is the tempurature outside while we were driving to Klammath Falls!

I guess we see where Mattie get's her silly faces from! Like father like daughter!



It took us 23 hours to get home! Ugh!


We let the kids play in the car while we got gas. Then we stopped and had breakfast to stretch our legs.

As you can tell it was tiring and on some levels made us delirious. hee, hee


We made it home safe and loved the trip. I do believe it is safe to say though that we won't be traveling there for a while (especially not by car with small children).

P.S.
Today Brayden is 2 months! How does it happen so fast? We love you little man and are so glad you have joined our family!
