Monday Morning Madness

On Monday morning we woke up late and were running behind. I was doing Avah's hair and grabbed what I thought was the water bottle sprayed a few squirts. There was a really strong smell I looked at the bottle that I sprayed on Avah's it was Scentsy Room Spray...it was super greasy. I made Avah get in the shower and wash her hair. When she was done with the shower and we wee doing hair she grabbed the room spray bottle and said"I'll be taking this away from you". We were laughing so hard. I'm a spaz:)

Vacation 2011 Oregon Coast

The week of Aug 15th we drove to the Oregon Coast it was so much fun. The first night we stayed in Tillamook OR, we stayed at the Ashley Inn. The beds were AMAZING!!! they had a pool so the kids were able to swim they were like little fish. Avah just finished swimming lessons before we went so she is now able to float on her back for 5 sec or longer without help and she can hold her breath for 5 sec under water. we cant wait for her to start lessons again, its amazing that in 8 lessons she was a completly different child around water.

Wednesday morning we got up and went swimming again. We drove out to Cape Meares to see the light house. The view and scenery was beautiful. We then drove down to Pacific City and we went to the beach. It was windy and the sand blowing accross the beach was like knives stabbing into your leggs. We drove back to Garibaldi and stayed at Harbor View Inn. It was a cute little motel really clean rooms (always a plus). That night we went out to the jetty watched the waves and had some dinner.

Thursday morning we were up bight and early(4:30) to head out deap sea fishing. It was SO FREAKIN COLD! We signed in with the charter and headed out. The loud humming of the boat motor and the rocking of the boat put me right to sleep. The deck hands were laughing at me because they'd never seen someone fall asleep on board and my mouth was wide open. Fishing was extremly slow but I was the first one to catch a fish. Jeff one of the deck hand kept casting out his line with us and when he would catch one he would hand me the pole to reel it in. We caught the most fish out of our group. On the way back to shore we picked up the crab pots we had dropped on our way out. On the way back in I fell asleep again and woke up right before we got inland. That night we went to the beach and played in the water, collected shells, walked on the beach and Avah found a starfish on the beach so we tossed it back into the ocean.

Friday morning we got up and headed home. We drove ALL DAY LONG!!! The kids were really good on the drive. It was an excellent vacation and we didnt want to leave. We cant wait to do it again. I think next time we go we might go more south where its warmer and we are thinking of renting a beach house so that we can spend as much time as we can on the beach.

Vacation Picture Overload

May Dance Review

Last night was Avah's Spring Dance Review. Avah LOVES putting on makeup, getting her hair done, dressing up in costume and performing. She looks forward to it ALL YEAR LONG. I love to watch my little girl get up with all the confidence in the world and perform. I dont really like to get up in front of people and I hope she will alway love to perform. They had 2 songs that they danced to the first was calld Sprinkle Sprinkle Little Roses (it was about watering your roses and they had little watering cans as their props) and Lollipop (they had a BIG plastic swirl lollipop's). When I was little I danced to Lollipop and from what I remember it was one of my most favorite performances. I was able to find flowers to match the color of Avahs dance costume. Darn I cant get my pics to load. I will keep working on it.

thought i would DIE!!!

with my new shift twice a week i have to be to work at 4am which means that my alarm goes off at 2:50am and i am out the door buy 3:45am. today i decided to dress up for work so i work a long black skirt with white and teal blue swirls on it. all day at work i walk around and answer agents questions that they have. today i was 1 hr from being off and i was helping an agent and the agent behind me and to my right was trying to get my attention. i asked her if she could please wait just a min and i would help her. she kept trying to get my attention finally i turned around to answer her and she pointed out that i had a tear in my seam about an inch and a half long right on my butt so my hot pink and white pokadot unders were showing to the entire world!!!!!!! i thought i was going to die right there in the middle of the bay. i am so glad she told me because i was able to turn my skirt and have this amazing lady Ronda sew my ripped seam. it embarrassing that i walked around for 7 hrs with no one mentioning that there was a rip in my skirt and everyone being able to see my unmentionables( i hope no one saw but i have no idea since no one told me about it), i survived and I CAN DO HARD THINGS.

St. Patricks Weekend

We had a great weekend. it was wes's birthday its so weird that next year he will be 30!!!! LOL I remeber when i thought that was old. Thursday night we went to Poky to get Colten and then went to Jerome to stay the night, the next morning we drove to Boise to have a fun time with the family. We did some shopping, swimming and LOTS of hanging out togeter. Saturday we went to Joe's Crab Shak..... its was fine but i dont know if i would go again, the food was ok but it was over priced. if we go again i would get a dish or maybe even the kids Captin Basket it looked Delicious LOL. we also saw Mars Needs Moms I thought it was pretty cute, i cant wait to see Rio when it comes out i think it looks FUNNY.
Tonight Avah and I ran to get subway (im on the new EARLY morning schedule and IM EXAUSTED.... NEW GOAL be in bed NO LATER than 9pm)i was asking avah what she wanted on her sandwich "i want tomatoes, olives, pickles, the other pickles (cucumbers), AND salad " LOL the girl behind us in line started busting up. she was eating some sun chips (harvest cheddar) "MOM, the chips have crumbled cheese on them and the machine made them have lines" ill be so sad when she doesnt say cute things anymore some cute saying i want to remember :

*Willy Wonker = Willy Wonka
*Oat Milk = Oatmeal
*Marry Potter = Marry Popins
