On the road again

To Sunriver Oregon! Doesn't everyone just love a 10 hour road trip? Not I, but I will sacrifice to spend some quality time with this stud muffin. Actually, it was for a Barber family reunion.
We left around 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday and arrived at our cabin around 11:30 that night.

Chris's parents had told us there was a little bakery called Cafe' Sintra. Does anyone have a guess as to why we would care to go to a cafe' with that name?

After our "brunch" we walked around Sunriver's downtown. I made Chris & Ty get on these kids toys. I just love Tyler's face in this picture.

We spent most of our time in this shop.
Whaaa?

And we actually bought something from there. A new didgeridoo!
We stayed in our cabin for a lot of the time and watched movies. Goonies, Newsies (which I realized is probably my favorite movie of a time... Spot Conlon makes me a little nervous :) Singing in the Rain. Loved it.

The next day we went to Lava Butte or Butt as Chris likes to say.

Walking up the trail with Teagan to get a better view.

Kaydence hitching a ride on BJ's shoulders. Can't say I blame her.

A lone tree.

I just had to share this picture! I think Gavin looks like a leprechaun doing a jig.
The mountain in the background is Lava Butte. It was a lot higher than it looks in the picture.

The view of course was spectacular.
Looking into what would have been the center of the volcano.


Annette, Brad, and Tyler

There were plenty of wildlife in Oregon, but the most animals we saw were Chipmunks. So cute.


Gavin kept getting REALLY close to my camera every time I wanted to take his picture. Look at those brown eyes.

Didn't I marry into such a great family?

More to come soon. Enjoy.

Playlist Fun

I thought this would be a cool idea, and a chance for me to brag about how awesome we are ;) I decided to create a playlist that only had bands on it that either Jena or I (or both) have seen in concert. So you are now listening to this playlist. Here is a little information to go along with the playlist: It only includes bands that we wanted to see, it doesn't include opening bands (unless we really liked them). You will notice that there is more than 1 song for a few of the bands. This reflects how many times we have seen them live. (Yes, I have seen Red Hot Chili Peppers 3 times, and I will see them again if I have the chance.) I refused to include songs from 2 of the concerts that Jena has been to, for personal reasons. These concerts are Garth Brooks and The Dixie Chicks. The first concert I ever went to was in 8th grade and it was Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. You know, from Led Zeppelin. I took my dad to see Deep Purple for Father's Day a few years back. Smoke on the Wate...

Our Everyday Life: Weeks 15-21

Where do I begin?! A lot has happened in the few short weeks that I haven't blogged. We unexpectedly moved back to Utah! Not only Utah, but our old hometown. **** Before we moved back to Utah, we visited family in Utah for Thanksgiving. Creating hand turkeys with Mema for thanksgiving. Jordis was quite positive that we couldn't see her. Barber Family Photo! I think he's pretty handsome... Boy band shot. All the grand kids.  We made candy sleds to race at GG's house with some of Jordis' cousins.  ****    We frequently head to the Harley store as a form of entertainment. Jordis could ride on this rocking  Harley all day. Notice that she HAS to wear gloves while riding. We had one last get together with some of our really good friends in Twin before we left. Visiting someones house that they decorate their entire yard and ...
