Quail, Oregon Trip and More

So Wes got his way and on Wednesday night last week we ate Quail.

Here they are preprepared.

Us eating them. The person that loved them the most was Novalee.



Wes said he remembered them tasting better camping.

I thought they were too chewy. I also couldn't get over how little they were, like baby birds. Here one is dangling over the plate. Ew.

I'm pretty sure Jared didn't even try them. But hey it was an experience.

Trip to Oregon this Weekend.

While traveling, people kept asking me how I was able to travel with three small children.

Perhaps because I was blessed and they were little angels. Here's proof.

Happy to be in Oregon!

Hangin' with the cousins.

Meeting Sadie...

While up in Oregon it just so happened to be my brother's graduation from the Oregon Culinary Institute.

We are all very proud of him!

While in Oregon I got to go eat out several times. I really enjoy food and good company.

The first place we ate at was Ochoa's Mexican Restaurant. I have been wanting to eat there since I first noticed it in Hillsboro about a year ago. So I was excited to eat there.

Huge plates, average Mexican food.

The next day I went to breakfast with my friend Desha. We ate at Down to Earth Cafe in Multnomah Village. I have been wanting to stop in and eat there for years. Totally worth it. My Chicken Breakfast Burrito was so delicious! (Sorry, no shots of me oinking out.)

Then after my brothers graduation we went to Swagaths, fine Indian Cuisine. So so good.

The best part was that the Indian food made my dad very uncomfortable. I know, I know, I'm heartless but we were all laughing so much. It was mostly funny because it wasn't even that spicy.

This is really sweat on his face. Crazy.

And yes he does have the linen napkins tucked in his shirt.

While the people serving us thought he was funny, I don't think they preferred him wrapping himself up in the linens. So they gave him a huge stack of paper napkins while telling him at the same moment that they would go turn up the Air Conditioner. Ha!

(You can see him in the background in the corner, wiping his face yet again.)

It totally reminded me of the scene from Along Came Polly where they are at the Indian Restaurant and he is just sweating a ton.


Here is the link if you need to see the clip of the movie. It's so funny.

And just for fun.


(Novie is faking, so this is staged. Don't worry, we don't let Sadie sleep with her big sister yet.)
