The magical month of May

This month has been full of fun. Joel turned 26 on May 3rd, Kaila turned 1 on May 6th and we got the keys to our first home on May 19th :) We went out with two good friends for Joel's birthday - checked out a new happy hour at the Thirsty Lion in Tigard - it was yummy! For Kaila's Birthday Joel and I both took the day off and we took her for a walk, to the pet store to pick out a new toy, and spoiled her :) We have really enjoyed having a dog and I hope she lives forever!!! Last Thursday we went over to the new casa and let Kaila walk around to see what she thought. She made a friend while she barked like crazy in the backyard :) I think we are really going to like Tualatin. Well, praise God for this awesome month and I can't wait to see what adventures come next :)

Easter Weekend :)

We spent Easter Weekend in La Grande this year. Our main reason for the visit was to meet our new Nephew - Ryder :) He was born April 20th, 8 lbs 4 oz. Ryder was such a good baby all weekend. I learned a few new things that weekend about giving birth. I'm not going to lie, some of them scary things - haha. Joel and Taylor spent alot of time together. Tay is 3 now and Joel just loves that age. As he would say - why can't they "come out" 3 years old - haha. Tay showed Unkie Joel how to cook in her kitchen, do some dance moves and sing songs all weekend. Tay just loves her Unkie Joel :)

Christmas 2010

Our Christmas was a very good one this year! We were super busy but on top of it all history was made - the Dearingnels were formed... this is a combo of the Dearingers and the Nelsons coming together to form the ultimate band. Jess about to pop at the seems (not really since she is due in April) Ryan and Julie, our promising guitar studs, John on the mic and either Me, Ashley, or Jess on the drums. Let me tell you, we rock ;) All in all this was a great Christmas...
