About 5 hours after Jason got home from Finland, his parents came into town. They were only here for a couple of days, but we had a lot of fun. Most of the time we just sat around and talked, but we did do a little tourist stuff for them on Memorial Day. So we decided to take them to the Japanese Gardens and the Rose Test Gardens. I think that they really enjoyed it. Here are some pictures from the Japanese Gardens...which Dad, Mom, Amy, and Olivia--I am going to take you there when you come out...it is so beautiful!
The day after Bruce and Sue left, I started babysitting my 2nd baby. This one is a little 3 month old boy named Tate. He is a lot harder to take care of then Brooklyn. He cries a lot which make it hard to deal with. But we can only hope that it might get better as he gets a little older and more used to the bottles. Here is a picture of the babies...
Look how cute they are dressed...they always have the cutest oufits on.
Last week was the Rose Festival here in Portland. Last year, we didn't end up going to it at all, but this year it seemed like we spend all day every day there. Jason was marching in the "One More Time Around Again" Marching Band. It is a HUGE band of people that marched in High School or College. They range from age 18 to 90. It was really fun hearing them. I went to 2 parades and a concert. The second parade was MISERABLE. It was really long and then it was pouring the whole time. I was freezing by time Igot home. I took a half an hour shower and still wasn't thawed out. But here ar some pictures of Jason marching...

I also went to a Quilt Show one of the days. I hope that one day I can be as good as some of these ladies. Here are some of my FAVORITE quilts that they had there.

Jason is such a band geek :). He looks so cute out marching with his trumpet.
I love the Japanese gardens! I am glad you are taking the family there. I wish I could go with y'all. Ly and I are planning on spending a couple of days in Portland after the reception there with y'all.

Hey Jess, it's your long lost roommate Amanda. I don't have your non-school e-mail address so I have not been able to talk to you at all, but I freakin' love your face and would love to get back in touch with you. My e-mail address is bobvilaschicken@hotmail.com, my cell# is (801) 885-9178. I have been thinking about you lately, and remebered your site here- and now I REALLY miss you. You were such a great friend! I hope to hear from you!
I looks like you guys have been having a lot of fun. I can't believe that Lisa Church is getting married in Columbia. I should be in town, I think. It would be funny if I was just hanging around the temple the day she gets married.
