Twentieth Birthday Celebrations

On January 13th I turned 20 years old. Heres some pictures from my birthday celebrations. The day before my birthday my wonderful Uncle Joe took my family out to eat at the Grain Station restaurant. Their ketchup is so delicious!! My birthday was on a school day so between my classes I went and hung out with Elindsey and Patton(before they left for CA). Then on friday my Uncle Joe took me and Ray snowboarding on Mt. hood. Last weekend I shared my 20th birthday party with Jessica McMillian, who also was turning 20.

Snowboarding was challenging but fun. I wasn't expecting it to hurt so bad to fall. I fell A LOT but by the end I was doing alright. Ray is pretty much a pro now and Joe already was. Thanks for the awesome present MOM!!!!

Sharing a birthday party with Jess was so fun!! I enjoyed playing guitar and singing while she was playing the piano. It was also fun taking lots of pictures together. Spending time with other friends and with my cousins Levi and Drew, was awesome :)

Moriah made me and Jess a delicious birthday cake

January

With our busy schedules, we have really been slacking with keeping the blog updated. The good news is we are all still alive and well!! It seems like this month has been super busy for us. (Maybe its just me...) Anyways Here is an overview of the month so far. I seriously can't believe that it is almost Feburary : 0

During the week of Prescott Confrence, I got to watch the Ovalle boys on thursday. I was so happy that I got the night off work, and that I could spend time with these guys. They are just so fun to be around, I love when I get to watch them.

We got to use the special cart at Winco!!

We went for a walk :)

This guy is always thinking!

Our cousin Isaiah had a birthday party, and my family was able to go to it. They said they had lots of fun, although I wouldn't know since I was unable to go.

 Our cousin Charlotte, had her first birthday party. It was nice hanging out with all the family.

After she ate the cupcake

 We went out to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings with some of our friends after one of the concerts at the Mac Stage. It was fun and the boneless wings are the best!!!!

Patton had his 3rd birthday party at Abby's pizza. Mark and Elindsey left for Chico, CA last weekend. I will miss them but I am also excited for them!!!

Christmas Break!!! (an brief overview)

Before Christmas we went around Mac caroling with a few people from church, we did this for two Saturdays.

We had a wonderful Christmas this year, we got to hang out with friends and family.
On Christmas eve we open presents as a family.

My Father build me a bed frame and Destiny a hope chest. (Destiny and Ray can fit under it)

We only took a few pictures on Christmas..

 Ray opening the shoes we got him...

A few days after Christmas I went ice skating with my Aunt Marci and my cousins, we had a blast.

On New Years eve we went to Astoria to stay the night. On New years day we looked around Astoria and explored the main street.

We got to see the house were part of the Goonies was filmed. 

                     Heres the house where it was filmed......

We went out to coffee, there was tons of cute little shops (mostly tons of yoga places).

And that was a small glimpse of our Christmas break....
