What eric found on the trail...ha, Can anyone guess what it is???

Me and Eric decided to get out of the house for Labor Day and head toward the coast with our Canadian friends :)! Our first stop was the Tillamook Cheese Factory. We got to try a bunch of different types of cheese and had the best ice cream/waffle cones around. Then we headed over to Cape Mears to see if we could see and whales. Apparently it's not the season yet for them so we didn't see any, but hopefully next time we will! We had a good time checking out all the fun attractions and just enjoying the beautiful weather. Eric definetely needed this little break, he had his first week of school and its going to be a tough semester for him! As for me I have a couple job offers and I am trying to figure out the perfect schedule for them. So hopefully by the end of the month I will be working full time!

The Group!

Me and Eric finally got a chance to go hangout with friends out at the coast. We took advantage of this heat wave that is going on, and it was gorgeous out there. We were able to just hang out, and go skim boarding a little. But holy cow the water was FREEZING! You had to let your feet get numb before you could even enjoy any of it! Eric took a walk down to the "Hay Stack" Rock (the rock off of the movie the goonies) and found some really big Star Fish, and he found a big live crab roll in with the waves! We also had a chance to walk around town to all of the cool shops. We got some pizza and got to try some of the salt water taffy in some of the candy shops. We had so much fun that we are heading back out there tomorrow! :)

It's finally done, we are all moved in! We are still unpacking here and there, but things are coming together quickly! We have really enjoyed being here so far, Oregon is gorgeous! Eric has already made friends with a few guys from his class, therefore, he has been golfing, playing basketball and having a good time! We went to our ward on sunday and it seems like its going to be a lot of fun...almost half of the ward is optometry students! I'm still looking for a job, which means I have handed out a million resumes, and checked craigslist every day! We just wanted to say Thanks to all our family and friends who helped us move and get through this house crisis it was really appreciated!

Camping on Beaver Mountain

Eric and the boys playing Wiffleball in the meadow.

Last weekend we got together with all of Eric's family to go camping up on Beaver mountain at Lebaron Lake. They usually do it later in the summer but since we're headed to Oregon here soon and the Staheli's are moving to Hawaii we moved it up a little bit. We got done selling in Kansas city, came home to St. George and headed right up the mountain for the next 3 days. It was perfect weather the whole time, nice and cool with no humidity! It was so much fun to have the whole family together to chill, play wiffleball in the meadow, play games, and fish. It was a much needed vacation and probably the last one we'll have till our move to Portland. We're going to miss everyone so much and can't wait to see them all again!!

Frisbee Golf

This summer Ryan decided to try out a new incentive for the office. So we have gone out twice now and played Frisbee Golf at a Park here in Lees Summit. Both times It has decided to rain on us, but this particular time wasn't bad. It is always pretty entertaining to watch these boys try and chuck the frisbee as far as they can. But the funnest part is trying to find all the ticks that are on us afterwards. I found like 5 or 6 on eric this last time!

Here are the boys Forest, Eric, and Ryan

Me and Sandy having so much fun (can't you tell)

Eric chucking the frisbee!

Robyn, Mitch, Eric and Me

This weekend me and eric had the opportunity to take saturday off work and drive up to the baseball college world series to watch erics buddy chase leavitt play. We got there at 10 o clock and rushed to our front row seats in left field. We had a great time sitting with the Gubler family and their friends. All in all it was a pretty perfect game day! The weather was great and the game was an exciting win, GO RAZERBACKS!
