1 grey Forever 21 cardigan, 1 Old Navy Cardigan, and 2 other cute cardigans.

15 shirts (3 Gap, 3 Banana Repulic, 5 Old Navy, etc.)

So one of my favorite things about living here in Oregon is the Awesome Thrifting I can do! They have here what we call "The Bins" which is Goodwill's outlet! I have only been three times, but I have become addicted...Its pretty much amazing! I wanted to give you guys an idea of what I have been able to find in just the three times I have gone!

This makes a total of 45 items (That I could remember) for 25 bucks! That makes everything 55 cents per item! :) LOVE IT!

Oregon also has a few other great thrift stores such as Thrift City, and the regular Goodwill...Garage sales are awesome here, and craigslist is good too! These places are much better than the ones in utah and a lot of other states! So what does this mean????

Come visit me!! We can go to the coast, Tillamook cheese factory, Thrifting, Farmers Markets, etc. It will be so much fun!!!

The Box!

This little one became obsessed with getting into this box tonight! She fell out like 10 times (Once giving her a bloody fat lip), but continues to go in it! Oh the joys of an empty cardboard box!

Cheesers!

Love the snotty nose that we have been dealing with!

She is now giving us what we call "Cheese" on demand! ha This face cracks me up!

Seaside Trip!

In the hotel looking out the window!

Fort Stevens Shipwreck

Cool Astoria bridge!

We bought a groupon a little while back to go to Seaside for a night stay/dinner. So we decided to go while eric is on break for school! We ended up getting there about 4 and got settled in...Then we took kinley swimming in the indoor pool, which she loved (after the initial chill of getting in). I wish I would have gotten pictures of that! Then we headed out to dinner at a local restauraunt. Which was delicious! Then we headed back to the hotel to put kinley to bed..(it took us a good hour) but once she was in bed we were able to relax and watch a movie! The next morning we drove up to Astoria to check out the sites, and stopped in Fort Stevens to see the shipwreck on the beach! It was a fun little family getaway!

Christmas Eve/Christmas Day!

We had such a fun Christmas this year! It was a little different not being by any family...but we have an awesome group of friends here that made it memorable...Along with our Kinley Bug! We got an invite Christmas eve to go eat with some friends..(Thanks Garlicks, we had a blast). Then we went home Opened our christmas pjs and read the christmas story. Then Eric and I got some hot cocoa and relaxed. Kinley was cutting her molars this weekend, so we haven't gotten much sleep...Plus, we have constantly been wiping her nose, and she had a slight fever on christmas eve! So it was a little bit of a challenge keeping her happy, but those presents on christmas sure did the trick! We looked at our stalking christmas morning then went to sacrament meeting. Then we came home to open presents. Kinley opened about two presents and then just wanted to play with those and not open anymore! So we helped her out a bit! That night we had some more friends over for a nice Ham dinner and Games! We had a blast, Thanks everyone for the wonderful christmas gifts and memories...We loved it!

Tired Bug!

Last night Kinley was a pretty tired little bug. We took her out of the bath and laid her on the bed to put lotion on. The next thing we knew she found her blankie and her pacifer and had cuddled up into a little ball completely naked! We let her lay there for a few minutes, and I don't think she would have budged if we didn't make her get her clothes on, which she was not happy about! She would have slept that way if we would have let her! She has been skipping out on her 2nd nap of the day, so It looks like we are going to have to scoot her first nap back a little and stop the 2nd naps all together :( sad day! I loved those naps! She is growing up too fast, making us laugh with new things she is learning everyday...We have quite the little character!
