I can't believe that I have not updated this blog in 8 days-I am bad. Well, I guess it indicates how busy we have been. The kids and I had a great time in Alaska for 2 weeks. The last week we had dinner Saturday night at my sister Glenda's house (her wonderful spaghetti) and then played games, and on Sunday night at my sister Krissy's house, which she made some fantastic Halibut taco's. I am REALLY going to miss my family when I get back in Texas. I am the only family member that lives outside of Alaska. My youngest sister Krissy is now pregnant and her due date is March 27th. I am hoping for a girl but Ryan wants another boy in the family. I was able to run a few times during the week while the rain stopped. I cannot wait to get strict about running again.
On Wednesday my mom, Kendra and I took Ryan in for a follow up ear check and the ENT said he needs surgery since he has an inverted ear drum. Basically his ear drum is sucked into the ear canel. This has happened to him before and without surgery we were able to clear it by having Ryan hold his nose and clear his ears a few times a day. I made an appointment with his ENT when we get back and see what he has to say. Then my mother wasn't feeling well and my dad took her to the doctor. My mom was not able to make it down to Oregon for the big Aasland family reunion.
We flew down to Seattle on Thursday and rented a car to drive to Forest Grove Oregon for the reunion. Forest Grove is a small town outside of Portland where my grandparents lived. My dad, sister Krissy and her husband Brent, Sister Sally and son Joshua and me plus the kiddo's rented this great 1932 Craftsman home in Forest Grove. Sally found this house in www.vrbo.com. I had not seen my Aasland aunts, uncles, and cousins since 1991. We had a great time getting re-acquainted and will get together again in 2 years when my Aunt Janice and Uncle Maurice celebrate their 50th Anniversary.
Today we left the house after being their 3 nights to spend the night in Tillamook, Or. The Oregon coast is beautiful. We went to the beach in Oceanside where they had this neat cave that went thru the side of the hill. For dinner we went to the Tillamook Factory to eat dinner at their cafe, great food cheap prices, and then had some yummy Tillamook ice cream. Tomorrow we drive back to Seattle for our last night. We will go up 101 and then go over to Seattle with a stop at Cabella's.
I plan to post pictures soon!
