SURPRISE!

Two Saturdays ago Bridger told me that he had a SURPRISE activity for the day. Since Twilight had just come out to theaters and I had told Bridger numerous amounts of times that I really wanted to see it, I assumed that going to see Twilight would be the "surprise activity"! But to my surprise, Bridger took Forest and Me to a Honda and Harley Davidson Motorcycle shop! Wahoo! Just the activity I was dying to do!

I think Forest wants one too!

Saturday Market

Even in the cold of winter the Portland Saturday Market is still going strong, which we are very thank full for because we were able to get this ADORABLE hat for Forest (at a reasonable price)! A few weeks ago we tried to put Forest's last years winter hats on him and realized that his noggin is HUGE in comparison. So now he has this stylin' hat that is extra warm and soft!

And that hat looks good no matter how much food Forest has on his face!

new computer = bliss

Our laptop stopped working mid July. We decided that we would buy a new computer once we were settled in Oregon. So, FINALLY my new computer arrived yesterday at 10 in the morning! Merry Christmas to me!

My new computer. It is beautiful, amazing, and fast! I love it!

The following are pictures from some of our adventures here in Oregon

The rose garden. Beautiful! We also went to the Japanese gardens but didn't have our camera with us.

Forest playing at Washington Park's play ground. We love Washington Park and go almost once a week.

The Portland Temple! Forest loved playing around the fountains.

Bridger took this picture of us - doesn't it look professional?

Bridger on his first day of work at Ernst and Young. He sure looks good in a suit.

We went to a local pumpkin patch

and corn maze

This is Forest on Halloween. He was a tree. I sewed and embroidered that costume. I am so proud of how well it turned out.

Forest ready for church! Isn't he the cutest!?

my very neglected blog

I have neglected my blog for far too long. So here is catch up on the last 3 months or so...

• Bridger and I celebrated our one year anniversary! Wahoo go us! and we are still happy as can be! I LOVE YOU BRIDGER! YOU ARE THE BEST HUSBAND EVA'!
• Forest became a rolling over maniac around his 4th month
• Forest started eating baby food. He has only had vegetables and Cheerios so far.
• We were sealed as a family in the Manti temple on June 21, 2008!!! Forest was so happy that he cried the whole time... very loudly! But it was a very very special day! I promise to post some of these pictures once our computer is up and running. Part of Bridger's Family and part of my family were able to make it for our special day and it was so fun having family out here for the weekend!
• I got bangs and my hair highlighted, so as my sister Wendy would say I look HAWT!
• We have gone swimming a few times and Forest has really started to like it! He is so cute in his little swimming outfit!
• We moved out of our teeny tiny apartment. Kind of sad but really happy to be out!
• Forest can totally get around these days. He army crawls EVERY WHERE! yikes! and gets into EVERY THING!
• Bridger found an awesome apartment in Oregon! WAHOO! it is so cute and so nice! we can not wait to move!
• I have lost all (and I mean ALL) of my pregnancy weight gain and feel o' so good!
• Bridger and I saw the new Batman movie "Dark Knight" last weekend and it was AWESOME!!!!! yikes i love Christain Bale!
• Forest can say "MOMA"... sorta!
• This is Bridger and my last week of school here at BYU! Bridger will be graduating in 2 weeks!

There has been so much more that has gone on these past few months but these are some of the highlights! I promise to be such a better blogger once we have moved to Oregon and our computer is running!

Forest's Blessing

Forest was blessed on May 11, 2008. Bridger did an amazing job with the blessing and was the most spiritual blessing I have ever listened to! unfortenetly we did not just take a picture of Forest by himself. Woops!
we had so much fun with the Field Family over the special weekend!

Rock and Rolling

This is an old video but is the only one we have of Forest rolling over. He is now a master at rolling over. He can roll over from front to back and from back to front. He can actually roll all the way across the room! he is so awesome and strong!

Sidewalk chalk

The weather has been so beautiful these last few weeks it inspired us to do some chalk drawings out on our sidewalk!

Forest hanging out in his bumbo seat covered in a blanket to keep warm!

Bridger did this portrait of Forest!
This is a close up of Forest dressed up as a Volcano :)
Forest learning how to drive
After the Rex Lee Run! we did the 5k! wahoo! (Forest joined us afterwards for the festivities)
It is really hard to get a picture of Forest smiling cause when you bring out the camera he becomes very concerned...

Here are a few smiles i was able to catch!


Forest in his bumbo- isn't he so cute! he looks like a little old man!
Staring contest!
