I'm Taller!


Today Jeff and I had a mini-physical to check out life insurance options. I told the girl I was 5'5'', but when she measured me she told me I was closer to 5'6''!! I've grown since the last time I was measured, which was what, in high school? Anyways, it's nice to be a tall person now!

Medford, Oregon

We had a fun vacation to Oregon this last week. The kids and I went with my parents and we took a road trip. Not that fun with the kids making a 13 1/2 hour drive, but we made it. We had tons of fun while we were there and it was so good to see Steve, Crissy, and Parker. They moved to Medford about 4 months ago for a job. Medford is a cool place. It is small, but big enough to have the staples, you know, Walmart, Costco, Olive Garden, Old Navy, etc. It has lots of smaller towns nearby that are cool places to visit. We went to a parade, went swimming, went to a House of Mystery, went shopping in a nearby town, and did a lot of sightseeing. Here are some pictures of some other things we did.
The first day we got there we had a mini birthday party for Parker and my mom.

We went to play at a park.
We saw the Medford Temple.
We also had a lot of time to just hang out and play, which Jane, Parker, and Ryan loved!!

The kids had so much fun running around (Ryan trying to crawl and catch up) and giving each other hugs. I am noticing that I am using the word fun a lot in this entry, but that's the best word to describe the trip! We made it home safely, and although we were sad to leave, it's always nice to be back in your own bed!
