We have such awesome friends! This last week our friends the Pietzold's invited us to go for a week with them to their time share in Redmond, OR (right outside of Bend)! It was such an awesome week, I wouldn't necessarily say it was "relaxing" as we had three very energetic toddlers under the same roof, but it was so much fun to let them play together and enjoy just being kids!
All bundled up for a brisk, November walk along the river!
Jeremy & Lisa!
Ty & Katey walking all on their own, no strollers for this walk! And honestly, they ran most of the way!Oh to have the energy of a toddler!
"Smiling" for the camera!
Our scenery!
Isn't it amazing!
Holding Daddy's hand!
Lisa & Zac in their matching hats :)
Three friends!
Ty in his cuteness!
Daddy's treat!
We spent a lot of time together as families going for a walk along the river (above pics), going to Sisters & playing at the park...
(pics taken with my phone so excuse the quality :) )
...making homemade pizza and lasagna and just hanging out at the "house",
but we also decided to let each other take some time off...and play without the kids!

One day Jer & Joe got to go do an incredible geo cache extravaganza that included, I think, 25 caches all laid out in the shape of a smiley face...thats their idea of fun :) haha. Then the next day, they graciously took the kids and Lisa and I got to go...well do whatever we wanted! It felt so extravagant and fun! The biggest blessing was being able to actually shop without having to have one eye tracking your toddler and half of your brain focused on what they could be getting in to and how to entertain them! And then we even went to lunch... and got to sit AND TALK!!! haha the things you appriciate as a mother, it was a great day!
Then the next afternoon Jeremy and Lisa kept Katey and Joe and I got to go out for our first date in...well a while. And it just happened to be our 4 year anniversary!
Quick preggy belly shot (31 weeks)
And a 4 year anniversary shot! Oh I love that guy!
Our evening was so memorable and I'd have to say the highlight of my week! First of all, its been a while since we've gotten out together... just to be together! We just meandered around the Old Mill District in Bend, going in fun shops and just enjoying each other! Then we grabbed some quick coffee before going to see an amazing movie (Inception--highly recommended). Then we sat down next to the river in a GREAT Italian restaurant and had calamari, seafood alfredo and I even got an Italian soda! Oh but my fav part of the dinner was that we sat on the same side of the both and cuddled! haha yeah I know i'm mushy! Oh and then we went out to ice cream to cap it all off! I love being married to this man and although I think that thought often, I thought it a lot that night and it was a good way to celebrate 4 years!
We had an amazing time that week, and made lots of great memories!
