Oregon Trip

As we traveled to Oregon to celebrate the graduation of my niece and nephew we had the opportunity to explore the beautiful state of Oregon. Okay total different adventure when you have lived in the desert for the past 7 years. It is so green and full of beauty. We were fortunate because it did not rain the entire time we were there. Some site seeing we did was Multinoma Falls, zoo, and the coast. It was all amazing however the coast was outstanding. We were told it would be cold and raining and to bring extra clothes. What we arrived to was sunny, clear, and no wind. The girls got to see star fish and many other sea creatures that you do not get to see here in Wyoming. For all you "Twilight" fans....the falls and the coast are some of the sites that were filmed in the movie.

I have put a few pictures here but many more on facebook. If you are unable to view the many photos there let me know and I will send them via walgreens.

A funny vacation stories.....

We lost Ted (OPA), Liz, and Xenia somewhere in Portland OR only to find them one hour later (mom was a nervous wreck). They finally arrived at the restaurant with laughter and not a care in the world. Xenia says Opa is the best and they should get lost more often.

Sad story....

Mom left the camera in the hotel when we went to the ocean. More pictures will be shared when Deb and Den return from their road trip as they had the camera and took great pics.

At the zoo (hey were is the excitement this was fun!)

Yes we even saw the Oscar Meyer Weiner Mobile while we were at the zoo.

More pics of the beach to come later.

Congratulations Neal and Rachel

Both my niece and nephew graduated from colleges this month. Neal has become a fine welder and Rachel received a 4 year degree in bible study. We support them with love and prayers as they adventure into an adult world with their new found education.

Happy Birthday

We got Forked

Well as bad as it may sound it really was rather funny. My lovely Niece Rachel taught my children about "forking" someones yard. This is a more pleasant way to "TP" someones house. With that being said a few weeks ago Liz and Xenia set out to "fork" our neighbors yard. We did not have any forks at the time so they "spooned" the yard. Which leads to last nights event.....

At around 9pm the doorbell rings and we walked out to find no one at the door but we found our yard had been "forked". We laughed forever....now the revenge is on!!!! What will forking a yard lead to next???????

Spring has Arrived

The Anthony's know when Spring has officially arrived....

Mom gets depressed because it is not warm enough to go outside but yet to sunny and beautiful to be inside.

Dad is bugging mom about what outside chores need to be done...and what vacations we want to take.

Liz is moody because it is the end of the year and she is so on burnout!

Mikaela has every recital, competition, and who knows what else on the schedule for the next month.

So with that said.....our weekend pleasantly consisted of a piano recital (Mikaela), community service garage sale for Liz, soccer games for Xenia and a wonderful Sunday evening at the park with the entire family walking, playing a little tennis, and kicking the soccer ball around for awhile.

The upcoming week consists of: band recital (Liz), track day (Mikaela), last week of soccer (Xenia), and mom sleeping on Saturday for 24 hours to catch up:)

Hope this week finds you all well.
