Silver Falls and other news

To stick with the theme of the month we ventured to some other waterfalls in the area on Saturday. Everyone was much happier and the weather was absolutely gorgeous! Josh in mid cough...

Sorry for the sideways picture. I tried hard to turn it, but it didn't cooperate!

In other news, Darrin had the day off work yesterday. We just stayed home and recovered from the rest of the weekend. The weather was still beautiful, so Darrin mowed the lawn and the kids played outside. Today we're back to our normal cloudy and cold weather=(

Valentine's Day was nice. Darrin and boys gave me flowers, and we went out to eat at Red Robin. After the kids went to bed, Darrin and I painted some more in the family room...how romantic, I know!!

Multnomah Falls

Yesterday we went to Multnomah Falls to see the waterfall with our friends, the Larsons. It was a nice day away from the falls, but it was freezing up by the water. This first picture summerizes how the trip went for Josh...I don't think he had fun at all. He was having a bad day and was miserable, but we tried not to let that ruin our trip! Overall, it was fun to get away and have fun together! Thanks Chelsie, Matt, and family!

Painting

We finally decided on a color to paint the interior of our house. We started Thursday night and have stayed up until 1am painting every night since then. I'm soooo glad today is Sunday, and we can actually go to bed early!! Anyway, I think I like the paint color....I'm getting used to it and the longer it's on the wall the more I like it. See what you think.....

This is what we accomplished the first night...you can really see the color up against the white.
The boys woke up to their names being painted on the wall the next morning...Josh thought it was soooo cool!
Here's us working last night...notice the tape hanging from the light...Darrin kept bumping his head on it so he put the tape on to warn himself...I thought it was funny!
Here's the finished wall in the kitchen.
