Seaside and Astoria, Oregon

Well it's a new quarter for Jordan and our little family here in Portland. The first quarter was kind of hard, but everyone tells us that it gets better and that Jordan will be graduating in no time. I think this quarter will be better since I'm starting to realize that this is home now and I'm starting to see the great blessing this is for our family by creating memories that will last forever.

Well for MLK day, we decided to go to the beach. It was almost 60 degrees and we had an awesome time. These are some of the pictures we took.

Pues es un nuestro semestre escolar aqui en la ciudad de Portland, Oregon. El primer semestre fue algo dificul; sin embargo, ya nos estamos adaptando a nuestro nuevo hogar y vida lejos de la familia. Estamos creando bonitos recuerdos familiares y nuestra familia aunque esta chiquita aun, se esta fortaleciendo poco a poquito. Pues para el dia festivo de "Martin Luther King" , como no habia escuela para Jordan, decidimos irnos a la playa, ya que el clima iba a estar muy bonito, y estas son algunas fotos que tomamos.

Rebeca is getting so big and pretty. She's got such a cool temperament,

I think she's a lot like her dad. She's pretty laid back.

Rebequita esta creciendo bastante y se esta poniendo bien bonita.

Tiene un temperamento muy bonito y calmado como su papi.

We went to the Seaside, Oregon beach

Aqui estamos en la playa de Seaside

I wasn't going to post this video, since Jordan and I felt pretty bad after watching Massey get knocked over by a wave and we got most of it on video. It happened so fast. You have to watch it to understand what I mean. We're over it now, so I'm posting it. Massey was fine, he just got a little bit scared.

Este es un video que no ibamos a mostrar porque Jordan y yo nos sentiamos muy mal despues de ver a Massey ser tumbado por una ola del mar. Todo paso tan rapido y aunque estaba ahi cerquitas de el, y no habia peligro de que se lo llevara la ola, no podiamos creer que se hubiera caido y mojado todo. Solo nos dimos un susto al igual que el pobre de Massey. Ya se nos paso el susto asi que decidimos ponerlo.

I switched diaper bags at home and forgot Massey's extra change of clothes on top of the washer, so I found one of Rebeca's onesies and that's what Massey wore for a couple of hours, until we found a Ross store, where we bought him some pants that were on clearance. He didn't even care!

Pues como soy una madre medio olvidadiza y olvide el cambio extra de ropa de massey arriba de la lavadora. Tuvimos que ponerle una camisolita de Rebequita que encontre el la pañalera. Despues de encontrar una tienda de Ross, le compramos unos pantaloncitos que estaban en oferta y el pobre de Massey, ni en cuenta, miren lo feliz que esta!

After we bought some pants for Massey, we decided to drive to Astoria,

since it was less than a 1/2 hr away from the beach.

I saw this sign and I asked Jordan to turn around so we

could take a picture. People thought we were crazy.

Despues de comprarle unos pantaloncitos, decidimos seguir con nuestro viaje a una ciudad llamada Astoria, donde una pelicula llamada " the goonies" fue filmada, que ademas a Jordan le gusta. Mientras manejabamos, vimos este rotulo y decidimos bajarnos a tomarnos una foto. La gente de seguro penso que estamos un poco locos.

we drove across the Astoria bridge, and it was cool, but scary at the

same time, it didn't help that Jordan kept saying things like:

" what if there's an earthquake right now??"'

Este es el puente de Astoria, en el cual pasamos. A mi me dio un poco de miedo, en especial porque mi querido marido no dejaba de decir cosas como: imaginate si ahorita hay un temblor?

As many of you know the movie "the Goonies" was filmed in Astoria and Jordan was excited to find some of the places the movie shows. We couldn't find the little house, which is there, or the rock, but we'll try next time.

We saw the museum, where the dad works

Este edificio sale en la pelicula al igual que otros edificios; sin embargo, no pudimos encontrarlos, sera para la proxima.

There were lots of other cool buildings, it's a pretty neat city.

Realmente es un ciudad muy padre
