Thanksgiving Trip to Oregon 2010

Our trip to Oregon from Utah began with a winter storm warning.

So instead of taking my rear wheel, 2WD car we decided it would be in our best interest to drive Wesley's beefy truck.

Which meant we would need to buy two new car seats that fit in the truck. That part was kind of a pain.

Look how cute Sadie looks in her new seat. She was so happy to be in it.

Thankfully we did take the truck. We definitely needed it, when our 11 & 1/2 hour trip was slowed to a halt due to white out conditions.

Two road closures (which we got through right before they were closed) and 18 & 1/2 hours later we pulled into my parents house.

We loved spending time with family.




Jared even got to celebrate his sixth birthday here with his cousin Sterling which was the number one thing on his birthday wish list.







Sadie started wanting to be rolled over onto her tummy. While here she also rolled onto her tummy on her own for the first time and laughed for the first time within 5 minutes of each other. We were so excited!



We searched and found the perfect Christmas tree.







And I said goodbye to long hair and got the shortest hair cut of my life. I love it and look forward to highlighting it to add a little more fun. :)

This is what it was like a couple of days ago. (I do realize this picture is on this post already.) :)



A little cut here.


And a little cut there.

And this is what it looks like now.



Tomorrow we wake up at 4:30am and head back to Utah! We'll see you Oregon in two and a half weeks. We'll miss you until we meet again. :)
