Best skiers on the mountain....

One day these girls are going to be the best skiers on the mountain and I can't wait to go with them!! They have the hardest and best teachers around (my brothers)! I wish I looked as good as them!!

October

Well this thing called work has really messed up my schedule! As much as I love not having to study for tests or doing any homework, I really miss being a student. I had so much more free time and I guess even then I didn't update the blog on a regular basis, but I feel like I had more energy to do it. These days are filled with long days at the "office" and Chase getting home late from Clinic, so our time together has been cut down dramatically. But we have have slipped in some fun in the last month.
Chase was able to go on the hunt this year! I love when Chase gets excited to do something and I know that the hunt is his 2nd favorite thing to do behind skiing with me of course! haha just kidding! He has told me more than once that he loves to spend time with his brother and dad and the hunt is something they have always done together. I made sure he took pictures this year so I could see the buck they got, so here are a few!

  GOOD JOB BOYS!!!

Next was Halloween. I like Halloween but it's not favorite holiday. The thing I do love about it though, is carving pumpkins! I love taking my time to pick the best pumpkin and then carving a better design than the year before. The harder it is the more I love it. This year Chase drew the designs on our pumpkins and we carved them while watching Corpse Bride. Very Festive! Anyway here are Jack and Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas in all their glory!

Chase's Bday was also in October and we celebrated by going to dinner and getting him some new pants for the hunt. Now we are prepping for Thanksgiving and Xmas and we both could not be more excited to eat, eat, eat and hang out! Oh ya and to see the families soon!!

Chase's Big Catch!

To cure Chase's hunting blues we went salmon fishing on the Columbia River. We only had one salmon rod and then rigged up my trout rod and crossed our fingers it won't break! After a few hours we decided to switch rods with each other and before I knew it Chase's pole looked like a rainbow. He was using the trout rod and it looked like it was about to break in half! We were both so excited he caught the salmon and of course couldn't wait to have a great meal.

Also right when we got there we noticed a bald eagle with a salmon flying around!

Victoria, BC...(with audio)

(The music should work to the first video now!)

Here is a video of our trip to Victoria. It was a perfect weekend trip during Chase's break between quarters. We hope to make it back because it is so pretty and there is a lot more to see. Enjoy...

 

 Here is another video from the ferry ride.When we were going through Friday Harbor they had to sound the horn every 5 minutes because the fog was so thick!

  Here is a recap of our summer adventures here in PDX! The video is 15 minutes so watch at your own discretion haha!

Year 3

It's official we made it 3 years without a disagreement, a clean house everyday, homemade dinner every night, bed made each morning, and no financial stress!! What a life we live together... if only all of that was true! HAHA!

Seriously though we have had so much fun since we've been married! Maybe a few bumps here and there but nothing we couldn't handle.

For our anniversary we went to our favorite place to stay on the coast. The condos are in Rockaway Beach and they are right on the ocean. We had so much fun while we were there. The weather was awesome (no rain!), and walking the beach is always fun!  We skipped church and explored Ecola state park which is so pretty and of course ate delicious clam chowder from Mo's. On our way to Canon Beach we stopped at a lookout above Manzanita. This is also one of our fav places, because you can see so far both North and South and the coast line is very Oregon-esque.

We both have new Snuggies with Mr./Mrs. Gentry embroidered on them

Jumping photo shoot with the new cam!

Spring Break '11

Now that is has been 6 weeks since spring break, I figure it's time for a blog update. We headed down to St. George for break and luckily we are able to see both sides of the family. Our adventures included:

Hiking in Zion (my first time)

Eating!

Movies

Golf

Tennis

Soaking in the sun

And of course enjoying time with family!

When we got back from St George, Chase and I used our free ski tickets to Mt Bachelor. It was such a perfect day to ski in Bend! Spring break was so fun, and we are glad we could hang out with the fam.
