February was a hodge hodge of events. Julian quit going to high school around February 4th because that was the start of 2nd Semester and since he is leaving for Japan his counselor told him he didn't need to show up for just a few weeks of 2nd Semester. So we have been hanging out, eating lots of lunches out just to have an excuse to leave the house! He goes to bed around 5 AM and I wake him up about 1 PM. He is trying to adjust his body for Japanese sleep times. We had a few fun adventures while he was out of school and I'm glad I had these weeks with him before he left:)
Went to a concert downtown Portland in this beautiful church.
A walk along the water from with Liam and Melissa Ashby
Hyrum pulled out our old slide projector and we watched slides from his mission in Austria, it was really fun to see him as a young guy.
We went to OMSI and saw a really cool art installation made out of bugs and other creatures in nature. I loved it!
So many colors and sizes and shapes:)
I think Julian and Jacob thought it was interesting. I'm glad we could get these boys to hang out before Julian leaves.
The twins came home for the weekend to celebrate Julian's birthday. We had a fun time at the Rice Museum seeing all the cool rock collections.
This rock reminded me of a certain President of the US (whom I despise!)
Korean dinner in Portland
Concert at the Schnitz with all the boys
Birthday dinner request: Salmon and Sweet Potatoes
This boy is now 16!!
Finally got his own phone, he was very excited about this
We lost power for about 5 hours...Hyrum made a delicious feast using our propane fueled hot plate!
We went to the DMV the day after his birthday so he could get his Drivers License!
A group of friends made plans to go snow shoeing up near Mt. Hood. Too bad the snow didn't get the message! Not enough snow for snow shoeing but we still did the 7 mile hike around Trillium Lake and that was still lots of fun.
It was a fantastically, amazingly beautiful day! Mt. Hood did not disappoint!!
Julian drove us out to Seaside, OR for the day. You can't resist a sunny day on the coast!
We took a nice walk along the beach...
Then spent some time playing "fascination" Julian won a game!
