The Melanson Clan: June 2011
http://melansonclan.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
An attempt to actually have a journal. Saturday, June 25, 2011. A fun day at Saturday's Market. We decided to try some of the food carts that are downtown. We went over to SE Portland today. Mal chose a pizza. Courtney chose BBQ pulled pork fries. Connor had chili cheese fries. Pete had a brisket, blue cheese, and caramelized sandwich. I had an egg, cheese, spinach and mushroom crepe. Out of these we think Pete's was the winner. Yum! We went down to Saturday's market. Mal liked the hat's. To do Courtney'...

The Osterhouse: January 2015
http://theosterhouse.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
January 18, 2015. With a new baby due any day, it is impossible not to feel that this will be an exciting year. I've never been very great at making New Year's resolutions.but I am going to try and keep this blog more updated. It also happens to be January. So I guess I can consider this a New Year's resolution. January has been an eventful month so far. Not to mention a beautiful one. I, unfortunately, allowed her to come with me to purchase them, so black and pale pink were not in the cards. Devin expl...

Mallory played the bassoon, Courtney on the clarinet, and Connor on his trumpet. Posted by Julie and Pete. Tuesday, May 22, 2012. Disneyland WITHOUT the kids! Pete and I went to Disneyland to surprise Connor. He was there on his band trip. I was surprised when we got there. Pete had booked our room at the Grand Californian. This was our view from the room. Best fruity drink by the pool.

The Melanson Clan: March 2011
http://melansonclan.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
An attempt to actually have a journal. Thursday, March 31, 2011. Night of the Notables. Courtney had her Night of the Notables before I went to Crescent City. She was Eleanor Roosevelt. The kids have to learn about their person, write a paper on them and dress like them for their night. The adults have to ask yes or no questions to try to figure out who they are. It is always a fun night. Pete likes to embarrass the kids. That's why he comes. (Other than supporting his kid.). Posted by Julie and Pete.

The Osterhouse: September 2013
http://theosterhouse.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
September 1, 2013. It has been an entire year since we moved from England to Utah. I still miss Harrogate so much and constantly think of what I would do if I could transport myself there for a day. BUT, that aside, we are loving our time in Utah and this summer was wonderful. I have enjoyed every single sunny day in preparation for a long and cold winter ahead! 1 We enjoyed our first real Osterhout family reunion in Ashton, Idaho. It was nice to have everyone together for a weekend. 2 We spent a long we...

The Osterhouse: June 2013
http://theosterhouse.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
June 22, 2013. Aside from working on our landscaping, we managed to fit in a few fun activities during the past month. Many surrounded end of school activities. Clara had her first pinewood derby with her church group. She is obsessed with Harry Potter at the moment, so she wanted to make a Firebolt as her vehicle. It was creative but maybe not the most aerodynamic thing on the track. :). She also had her dance performance and did a fantastic job! She is in the pink shirt section second row from the top.

July 2, 2013. Nine nine year olds for a ninth birthday. One week ago Clara turned 9! And every day since has been a complete celebration. From her actual birthday to having really fun visitors to a big family reunion at Yellowstone to the culminating event of a Harry Potter birthday party this afternoon with 9 nine year old girls. I think it was a pretty successful week! I was lucky enough to have my best friend from high school on come visit me! Chocolate cake with caramel frosting was the dessert reque...

An attempt to actually have a journal. Thursday, November 24, 2011. Portland Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. All the kids were able to be in the Thanksgiving parade this year. Connor marched his trumpet and the girls did colorgaurd. After the parade we walked with the kids to Voodoo Donuts. Yum! Posted by Julie and Pete. Wednesday, November 23, 2011. The first turkey bowl I've attended. It was a fun morning but very cold. We headed out to Bob and Kim's for dinner in the evening and we all had a good time.
