Easter

We had a fun Easter weekend. On Saturday we went to our ward breakfast and easter egg hunt. The kids had a fun time there. Then today, the kids woke up to full easter baskets, and eggs hidden inside and outside of our house.





The kids in the Sunday Best!!!



Linda's Birthday

April 10, 2009
I had a really fun birthday this year! I went into Samantha and Shane's class at school to help out, and Shane's class sang Happy Birthday to me! When I went into Samantha's class I heard 3-4 people say, "Happy Birthday Mrs. Scholes". I also got to go out to lunch with my sister Lora to Carino's. Thanks Lora! That evening we were going to have a barbeque, but it was rainy weather, so we postponed it a day, and my family took me to Cafe' 0le. I think my kids just like to see them sing to me and have me wear that lovely sombrero hat! After dinner we opened my presents. I got some wonderful gifts! I especially love the homemade ones my kids gave me! look at the beautiful artwork!




Samantha made me this key chain, and gave me a coupon book full of nice things. I wont have to make my bed, do the dishes, or sweep the floor for a while!


Shane's Poster with the word mom and my age in there. Can you guess how old I am?

Alyssa's present. Yes there is more tape on there than the paper.

Multnomah Falls

We stopped at Multnomah Falls just outside of Portland on our way home. The Waterfall is beautiful, and the kids loved getting out of the car and running around. We got to walk over the Bridge and look down over the top of the lower water fall.









The Beach

We stopped just outside of Newport and walked down to the beach. It was beautiful! There was a lighthouse not to far from us. It was pretty cold, so we didn't get wet, but the kids picked up some rocks, and shells. They had a fun time! Dad tried to get them with a big thing of seaweed!











Newport

On our trip to the Oregon Coast, we stopped in Newport. We saw the Sea Lions, ate at Mo's (had their world famous clam chowder, walked along the shops, and went to the beach. The kids had a lot of fun. They loved the sea lions.
