Oregon

Ashley and I had the opportunity to fly to Oregon for a few days the end of October. There was a group of us that flew out and met up in Portland, Oregon to surprise my Great-Uncle Malcom (and Great-Aunt Lorraine) for his 90th Birthday. We all met the night before and showed up at the Temple because we knew he would be going on Saturday morning with another of my Uncles that lives up in Washington. What a surprise it ended up being! He nearly passed out. He was SO surprised and happy. After he caught his breath, we got a picture of the whole group of us at the Temple.

This is my mom and dad, all of my mom's siblings and their spouses, my brother (Scott) and sister-in-law (Gwen), Ashley, Uncle Malcom, Aunt Lorraine, and myself.

My dad, Ashley and myself headed out to shop while the others did a session at the Temple. (That is why we are not dressed up!)

Ashley and Uncle Malcom

While Ashley and I went shopping, my dad sat in this chair and most likely took a nap! Ashley came up to him when we were ready to go and scared him to death!

On our way out of the mall, Ashley asked this make-up guy that worked in Macy's to do a cobweb on her eye! Afterall, it was Halloween!

After the Temple and shopping, we met up at Oswego Grill for a late lunch. The owners of the Restaurant came out and wished my Uncle a Happy Birthday. The staff and owners signed a card and brought out a dessert for him too. Such a nice gesture. This is the owner talking to Uncle Malcom (his wife had just walked off, so no picture of her.)

One night while playing games Annette and Brent broke out in a Song and you flip your hands so as to make sunglasses! We must have been extremely tired!

my poor mom is trying to do the sunglasses and she can't quite get it. She was trying to tip her head back to see if that would help and I am thinking it didn't work out so well!

As you can see, my dad is laughing so hard, he nearly fell off his chair!

My Aunt Patti was telling private stories about her and my Uncle John and John was having a fit. Well, it was one of those moments that you had to be there, but we all were laughing almost as hard as my dad!

This night we went to Bentley's in down town Portland for dinner.

This is my mom, her siblings and her cousin (Uncle Malcom's son) and his wife who live in Portland.

Ashley and Scott (while they were behaving!)

Here is Ash after dealing with Scott for a while!

She is "brandishing a deadly weapon!"

Uncle Malcom, Ashley and myself

Back at the house we sang to Uncle Malcom and had some cake and ice cream.

We all love you Uncle Malcom!

Happy 90th Birthday!
