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!

What a weekend!!

Well, where to start...

Ally had her first game on Wednesday. Her team WON!! I was told by another parent that Ally hit the ball both times on the first time and was doing really well! Apparently she ran to first base with the bat and then when she ran to second John was yelling "go Ally" and she started to run to him!. Overall it was a great game! She has another tonight!!

Friday I moved Ally's BIG, HUGE, GINORMOUS bunk bed by myself (yes I know I can hear it now, why are you doing this by yourself. Three words...Because I can!), got it moved with out any major injuries, smashed toe and hand. No biggie. Sat. Ally went with Grandma and Grandpa out on the boat. Matt hasn't been feeling too good lately and so he and mommy stayed home. I got A LOT cleaned! and Laundry is almost caught up. Sunday...Ah Mother's Day. They day where all mothers should be told they are loved. I got the CUTEST thing from Ally. Her class made "Mommy Makes It Best" recipe books. Each child told what their favorite dish was that mommy made and how they make it. Ally's was Oatmeal. It was so cute, I will post what she said tomorrow, but the last sentence was so cute. It said "Mommy only makes me oatmeal when I'm dressed!" I go to sleep in, 8 am oh yeah! I was taken to breakfast, we went to Lowe's to get my mom's gift and John surprised me by getting two large outdoor pots that I have been drooling over, apparently with out my knowledge, for a long time now and got two Chalalillies for each one, and not just plain white, beautiful colored Minni's. We got them planted and set!. What a lovely day. Then we made mini pizza's for dinner. The perfect day.

This morning Ally lost her second tooth!
