Stumbled across some pictures

I am looking at our pictures on our computer and I stumbled across the pictures from when Jesse's brother, Jerry, stayed with us a for week. Jerry and Jesse spent the time riding dirt bikes, camping, riding more dirt bikes, more camping, and more dirt bikes.

The adventures of the Frey Boys:













And the injuries to prove how hard they ride:
(Those are actual tire marks on Jesse. Ouch.)

An Update

I have been getting the 'ol blog lecture from Brandon... he has been waiting for a new post. The trouble is I don't have much to say. If I start to ramble - blame Brandon!!

12 days until we find out where we are going!!! 12 days!! Now that it is getting closer I have this feeling of - I don't want to know! It is coming way to fast. We have our last lease sitting on our kitchen table waiting to be signed. We have to be moved out by July 31st!!

Happy Valentine's Day!! Tonight Jesse and I are making a supper at home. A new supper, we haven't had this meal before and it is a bit different... wish us luck. It is called Latin Steak. The Steak isn't the scary the part. We are making sweet potatoes with plantains all mashed together. Plantains look like bananas and we all know how I feel about bananas. Yuck! But, I am hoping they taste nothing like a banana!! The picture looked really good. And pictures don't lie!!

Friday morning Jesse leaves for Indiana!! He is going to have a booth at a trade show. This trade show is one of the largest motorcycle trade shows. (I think that is right.) His brother, Jerry, and his friend, Jason, will be meeting him there. I hope they have a great turn out and sell lots of product!!

Saturday night I have a couple of friends from high school coming to stay with me!! I am so excited to see them. One of the girls really wants to go to a comedy club. So on Sunday we should be heading to Harvey's Comedy Club in downtown Portland - if I can remember to call and reserve our tickets. They have a professional comedian and then after that they have open mic... you never know the three of us might get up there and talk about Wisconsin people!! The rest of our time we will be doing a mini tour of the area - check out some waterfalls, a little ocean, and who knows what else. I'll be sure to post our pictures!

I think that's it for now. Have a great rest of your week!

A Sunday Drive

We have been having beautiful weather the last couple of days. On Sunday we just needed to get out and enjoy it. We took the Jeep out and went to Trask Mountain. We were able to see Mount Hood perfectly!! I will definitely miss that Mountain when we leave! The only "mountain" in our area [back home] is Rib Mountain... and it is a big hill. Sometimes in the winter they make their own snow so the skiers can ski!!

There was still snow on Trask Mountain. There were some roads that we very icy and we had to turn around because the Jeep just doesn't do so well with ice, and we didn't have chains. Jesse tells me if he was with a group guys he would have went further. Because he was with me his caution signal went off and he turned around. Aw, what a sweetie!!

Here are some pictures of the mountain...
