We're in Portland, Oregon!!!

We're finally in Portland and we LOVE it!! We can't thank our families enough for all the help and support they gave us. We wouldn't be this happy if it wasn't for all you've done for us. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
Here are some pictures of what's being happening in our lives these last few days.

Pues finalmente estamos en la ciudad de Portland, Oregon y nos encanta! no hay palabras suficientes para agradecerle a nuestras familias por toda su ayuda y apoyo que nos dieron. No tenemos duda de que sin ustedes no seriamos tan felices es estos momentos. Les estaremos agradecidos eternamente. GRACIAS Y MIL GRACIAS! Aqui hay algunas fotos que hemos tomado de lo que ha sucedido en estos ultimos dias.

There are seriously thousands of flowers pretty much everywhere
we go, these flowers are from the temple....simply beautiful.
Realmente existen miles de flowers en cualquier lugar que vamos,
estas son del templo, son simplemente un belleza~
This is Beca, Massey's 1st and only friend so far. Her parents are our managers, Josh and Whitney and they're also our neighbors and now our good friends.
Esta chiquita es Beca y es la unica amiguita de Massey.
Sus papas son nuestros managers del apt y ademas de ser
nuestros vecinos somos ya buenos amigos.
Raquelita, Rudy, Massey and Sammy helping us load up the truck
in Reno...they're taking a break here.
Segun Raquelita, Rudy, Massey y Samuelita estan ayudando a
subir cosas al camion de la mudanza, nomas que aqui estan descansando.
Massey being Massey..this kid never stops!
Massey siendo el mismo, este niñito nunca para!
Brad went to Law school here in Portland more than 20 years and they
hadn't been back since then and this used to be their old house.
Mi suegro estudio en la facultad de leyes aqui en Portland hace mas de 20 años,
y desde entonces no habian venido a visitar. Esta es una foto de su la casita en que vivieron.
We went to see the Multnomah falls..they were breathtaking.
Fuimos a ver las cascadas de Multnomah,
realmente eran espectaculares.
The Portland temple, I believe it's about 25 minutes away.
El templo de Portland nos queda como a 25 minutos
This is the school where Jordan will be attending for the next couple of years. I'm so proud of him.
Esta va a ser la escuela a la que Jordan asistira durante los proximos años. Realmente me siento muy orgullosa de el.
Josh and Whitney invited us over to their place to play games and here I'm with Beca and Massey. They're still not sure if they like each other...she's kind of afraid of Massey...
Nuestros amigos Josh y Whitney nos invitaron a su apartamento a jugar juegos de mesa y aqui estoy con su niña Beca. Aun no estoy segura si Beca y Massey se caen bien, creo que ella le tiene miedo a Massey.
Today we went to a Potluck that Jared (a chiropractic student) organized at the church so that all the new students and their families could meet. It was fun.
Hoy fuimos a una cena que nos invito un estudiante quiropractico que organizo en la iglesia para que los nuevos estudiantes pudieran conocerse. Fue divertido.
Afterwards we went to see the school. I hadn't seen it. We also wanted to Massey to run around some more in the grass. Here we have a future chiroprator with the two most beautiful children (their mom's opinion of course)
Despues de la cena fuimos a ver la escuela de Jordan ya que yo no lo conocia. Tambien queriamos que Massey corriera en el cesped. Aqui esta el futuro quiropractico con los hijos mas bonitos del mundo (opinion de la madre)
Here Jordan just took a picture of me. Doesn't she look like me?? I really want her to look like me even though many people say that she doesn't.
Jordan nomas me tomo una foto. Verdad que si nos parecemos, dice mucha
gente que no, pero yo digo que si!

Here are some fun videos for our famlies!
Aqui hay unos videos chistosos para nuestras familias!

On our way to Portland. We had to stop so I could use a bathroom..I don't know how Massey ended up on the top of our car I think Jordan had something to do with it.
Rumbo a Portland, paramos a usar un baño y la verdad no se porque Jordan encaramo a Massey arriba del carro.

La escuela de Jordan
We were waiting for Jordan in the car and I had nothing to do. Sometimes I feel like I get to play dolls all day.
Mi muñequita.. no tenia nada que hacer mientras esperaba que Jordan saliera de la tienda.

I'm glad the move went smoothly. I knew you would make friends quickly. You and Jordan are so nice, it was inevitable. I miss you.

I loved every single little detail! Thanks for the videos. Massey is SO FUNNY!!! And Rebeca is beautiful. I can't believe that is the HUGE house I remember living in when I was little.
Love you and miss you!

Beautiful pictures of you and your little girl! Congrats on getting to Oregon - it's tough moving and I can't imagine doing that with two little ones (it was hard enough with one) :) It looks gorgeous in Portland!
