Weekend fun

Last weekend we were invited to go to Sarah's house to a pool party. What fun that was! We spent 3 hours non-stop in the pool. Matt loved it! He was talking and pointing and laughing. The girls Ally and Catie were jumping all over and having a blast. I would have pictures but alas Sarah's camera has them and she hasn't gotten them to me yet. Oh well. I'll get em up soon.?
'till later

Some pics over the summer. Enjoy!

Chow Time!

Matt's "job" at Grandma and Grandpa's he plays with the rocks. Taste test and all!

WHAT A MESS!!!

This morning I thought I was ahead of the game. I was ready to go on time, was getting ready to wake Matt up to take him to the baby sitter's. I thought to myself what a great day it's going to be. HA, Famous last words!! At 8:10 I went in to wake Matt up and found him diaper less and smearing poop on the wall! UGH!!! He had it all over him, head to toe!, the wall, the crib, the sheets EVERYTHING!! So I had to get undressed so I could take him to the shower. I scrubbed him then got him dressed. I was running around naked trying to get the crib stripped and the wash started when I heard a familiar noise of no good. I turned around and Matt was playing in the new kitten's potty box (thank god I had cleaned it moments before this fiasco!). SO I stopped what I was doing and had to give Matt a sponge bath to get him cleaned up. I set him on the floor with a bottle and went to finish stripping the crib. Got the sheet and blanket in the wash!

You know what John did when I told him?! He laughed and said what a mess I have. I told him uhuh! I started the cleaning process but when he gets home he is going to have to use some heavy duty cleaner on the crib and wall. Then I told John that he got it from his side of the family! John said no he didn't but I said that I never played in poo that only guys did that and there was five on John's side so it defaulted to his fault!
I got Matt taken care of and to the baby sitter's on time! What a mess!!
Oh, by the way all this transpired in a matter of twenty minuets.

New member of our family

Last night Daddy gave in and let Ally have the kitten she has been gooshing over since it was about an hour or so old. Several weeks ago my in-laws cat had babies. Ally got to see them and picked one out, of course she asked daddy if she could have one and he mistakenly said "we'll talk about it". So the weeks have gone by, she named the kitten "Rosie" and was adimant that that was the kitten she was bringing home. Fastforward to last night. I get a call from John asking what "we" are going to do about the "kitten thing". I said what kitten thing. This is between him and his little girl. I told him I wasn't the one who said "we'll talk about it". He got quite for a moment and then said well we have two options. The first being I could pick up the kitten and have it waiting for her in the bathroom, or two, she and I could go pick it up. I guess in the end he couldn't say no to his little girl. It is a sweet kitty, however, it's a boy. When I brought this up to her she said to name him "Ring". I though she said "Ringo" and she goes yeah Ringo. So the kittens full name thanks to John is "Ring around the Rosie."
Lord help us all the kitten won't know its name from its tale!!
'till later.

What a weekend!

Ally left Thursday to go to Diamond lake with Grandpa and Grandpa what a blast they had! Friday I got a call from them, Ally had pulled out a 16.5 inch 2.5 lb Rainbow Trout! Yes I will have pictures when my parents get them to me. Friday, eh nothing big. Saturday John and I ran errands separately and then met up later to finish them off. Later that night I drove to Corvallis to help photograph a wedding. What a beautiful day for it. What a great wedding too. So many great ideas! So Sunday rolls around. John woke up sick to his stomach really early and spent all day in bed. My company picnic was at 4. So when Ally had gotten home and rested the kids and I went to my company picnic. John was not getting any better so he stayed home.

We went and had a good time until Ally slid off the big air toy and got hurt. I thought that it was just a scrape. When I got to ally she was crying and complaining that her ankle hurt and she heard a pop. Well that got me a little more nervous. So I had her point and flex her toes, which she did but couldn't wiggle her toes very well. So I piled her and Matt in the car and we went to the hospital. John met us there and my parents came and picked up Matt.
So after seeing the doctor he told us that it wasn't broken but s 2nd degree sprain. Which basically means there will be bruising and swelling and to take it easy for a little bit.
He also said that purplie bruising with a pop is never good, however because she was so cold and wet that it probably did that so fast because of being cold. That being said if she doesn't complain in a week were in the clear!
SO what a weekend. One healthy, one sick, one hurt and mommies exhausted!whooo!

WOW! Two posts in 24 hours I'm on a roll!

Well Ally is off to go fishing with my parents. Today is my parents 10 year anniversiary and they are off to Crater lake and that area! UGH I wanna go too! OK, that's enough. I have added a link to Wind Dancer Photography. This is the photography company that I am working at part-time. I am very excited about this. The style of the photography is what I am wanting to learn to achieve. I know I am going to learn a lot and will grow with the knowledge.
'till later.

Long time no post!

So I realized that it has been a bit ( yeah I know over a month) since I posted but I've been busy! So the school year has ended. Ally will be a first grader this year! Wow, doesn't seem that it has been that long ago I was pregnant! She is so excited! She keeps asking if she has school tomorrow. Last month our was FULL of birthday's! June 13Th we had two! We started out at our friend's daughter's, Alexus. She turned 1! She is so cute! Wild curls! Then we went to my nephew's, DJ. He turned 12. It was not that long ago it seems that he was Alexus' age! Quite the young man! Then June 23rd was Matt's, we celebrated on the 27Th! It was a blast. We had the family, close friends, and tons of kids! Matt was a cake machine! He LOVED it!

John and Ally have been going fishing so much! Ally pulled, forgive me I can't remember what type of fish, a Channel Catfish? out, three BIG ones. You go girl!

No these are NOT the same fish!

Matt has been sick this whole weekend. 102.5/103 fevers. We thought it was his one year molars coming in. Not only that but the poor babe has an ear infection and a virus! that stinks!
Tonight Ally is staying with my parents and going camping and fishing with them till Sunday! What fun that will be.
We have been busy busy. John is working full time Monday~Thursday for the school 6 am to 4 pm, then working his business full time. I have taken up a part-time position with Wind Dancer Photography as a (yep you guessed it) photographer, and working full time at The Shutterbug. On top of that we have all kinds of "events" going on, parties, visits, baby showers, all kinds of things. Phew, when does summer get over? Did I just say that?
That's about it!
