This moving company will be here in 6 days to pack us up and move us back home. We are so excited and on the countdown! Can't wait to be down the street from Philly, Jessi, and Emma and I can't wait to be just houses away from my 3 favorite people and my girls best friends!! Not to mention all of our other family and friends that will be within 15 minutes of us, we are on cloud 9 right now.
Ashlyn said, "Jordy you have to introduce me to your friends. You say, this is my sister Ashlyn"
They enjoyed their dinner there, then did the costume contest, then danced their socks off! Jordyn is a social butterfly and Ashlyn stuck pretty close to her Daddy and I the entire time.
We bought Jordyn a new dresser and my plan was to put it together today.
The girls helped me pull everything out of the box.
They really loved the styrofoam and started building them like blocks.
As soon as I pulled out all of the screws and pieces, I started second guessing whether I could put this together.
Here's all the different parts
The girls really enjoyed playing in the box as well.
Here's all the pieces and the directions say no hand drill...great I have to screw everything in by hand.
Meanwhile Jordyn gets in the box and Ashlyn props her against the dresser
She's stuck and needs my help
But at least she's still happy!
Ok 3.5 hours into it and this is what I've done so far.
I got Jordyn off to school and Ashlyn wanted to help so bad. So she was my nail holder. She was ready with one whenever I needed it!
Here it is after 5 hours of hard labor. Now I only have to assemble the drawers and I'm done!
Wow, I finished it! After 6 hours it's done.
Ready for it to start
Ashlyn has her arm around her cotton candy...as you can see she's very happy about getting it!
The girls enjoyed looking through the binoculars at the players.
Jordyn was even checking out people in the stands!
So happy to have her cotton candy and her Daddy!
"Globey" the mascot
Warming up
Ashlyn kept folding herself up in the seat and it looked so funny.
We all had a great time! Another great idea by Daddy!!
We took the Wheatland Ferry across the Willamette River to get to the wineries. This was my first time on a ferry, so many new experiences!
We're aboard and ready to cross the river
Nicole, Myself, and Lindsay at Arcane Winery. This was a small private winery with excellent wine. We all bought a bottle there, it was so good. Since it was Valentine's weekend every winery had an awesome spread of appetizer's. Between the wine and all the yummy food, we were pretty much in heaven ALL day!
The second winery we went to was called Methven. This place was beautiful! Allen the owner (in the picture above) is a dentist during the week and makes wine in his free time. We loved Allen! He took us on a special barrell tasting tour. It was a first for all of us. We had never tasted wine straight out of the barrell. It was good, you could definitely taste the oak! They had gourmet cheeses and the best Rib Roast ever! They had a live band and gourmet chocolates. It doesn't get any better than that!!

Nicole feeling at home with all the barrells
Nicole and Lindsay at the last winery called Hauer of the Dauen (pronounced Hour of the Dawn). This was our least favorite winery. The wine was ok. They let you taste at least 15 different ones and you can bet, us girls tasted them all. How else will you know if there is one that you like?
Here we are about to head back home. We had to get a picture with the escaping grape! Thanks Honey for an awesome Valentine's day, I had a blast with you and my two friends in Oregon!!
*Here are the video's of the girls doing their different routines*
