Motorcycles, Cars and Basketball

We decided to take a great deal and buy Isaac a motorbike. He has been looking for and wanting one for a long time. Since we are in the process of selling a car we are planning on the motorcycle being very helpful since it gets great gas mileage and Isaac will be able to drive to school and back and find parking easily. Kason and Isaac both love it, and I even tried it out in a parking lot one night.

Kason wearing the helmet, or hat as he likes to call it.

We also got this car for $3. Kason loves it and is always crawling into it on the patio.

Kason Loves BasKeTbaLL. Sometimes, when we go to parks (and there are TONS of them here) he will skip the slide and the climbing stuff and make a bee line for the basketball hoops saying ball, ball. So, for $2 (I love garage sales!) we got this hoop for him. He is very excited about it and plays it ALL day. He learned to say "batketbawl" within an hour of getting it.

Kason was 18 months this past week so we took him to nursery today. Hallelujah!!! They actually asked me to be in there and help today, so I didn't leave him. That will be next week and I think he will be just fine and not even care that I am gone. Isaac starts school on Wednesday. We are excited, but nervous about how it will be!

Anniversary

Today is our 3rd Anniversary!!! I am so grateful to have spent 3 years with Isaac and am glad there are so many more to come! I can't imagine life any other way. I love you Isaac!

Brittney tagged me for 6 un-spectacular quirks

1. Every night, without fail, I check the sheets as I climb into bed to make sure there are no spiders in them. This is because one time while sleeping in a sleeping bag a spider crawled up and down my leg multiple times before I realized what it was.

2. I am not the biggest fan of animated movies. This sometimes makes Isaac and Kason sad.

3. I like to pick up the house before I go to bed for the night. (although this doesn't always happen)

4. I think I stress out really easily

5. I have a hard time making decisions. Whenever I have one that is really hard for me to make I write out the pros and cons for each, but they always turn out equal.

6. I prefer back massages to back scratches

We Are HERE!

Well we have made the big move to Oregon! We did the drive in two days. Isaac's family helped us move and we definitely owe them a big thank you! I feel really far away though!We are all unpacked and have hung pictures and are just trying to get settled. I am glad the unpacking part is over, I am not a fan of packing or unpacking! We like our apartment, although it is very small. But, we managed to fit for the time being. We live right by a big playground so that will be really nice for Kason. He already cries at the door to go outside to it. And my favorite thing is that we have a big (for an apartment) fenced in patio out our back door. And I am very happy to say that it has not rained a drop since we have been here. In fact, it has been very sunny and nice. Yay!

I have never lived in a city this big and that is going to take some getting used to. There are tons of trees here. And while it is very pretty, sometimes I just want them to be pushed down so I can SEE. There are also alot of one way roads. I don't get them at all. What is the advantage of one way streets?! They just seem to add confusion and stress to driving!

We went to the campus and looked around. We didn't realize what we had at BYU-I!! Just the atmosphere and the way it is kept up is really good there. It seems a little older here. But, we got to see where Isaac will have his office and classrooms.

So we are starting to adjust. It kinda seems like we have just been on vacation here, it doesn't feel like home.

We got to go do some fun things while Isaac's family was here. They have beautiful parks with tons of trees and it is just green everywhere. We also went to the coast. I have decided to call it the coast instead of the beach, it is just more fitting. The water was a little chilly and it got foggy while we were there, but it was nice and fun. It was cool to see the ocean and then the forest right next to each other. It is its own kind of beautiful. Although, I miss the warm brown mountains. Here are some pictures:
