OREGON!!

What can you say when you have a fun filled weekend in Oregon. To much going on and to fill in. Short story, flew into Seattle, Heather picked me up. We stayed at her house that night. Woke up the next day and spent the afternoon at Tawnyas house! Got to see her cute house and visit with my nephews. Then we continued our travels up to The Dalles! Made it in to stay up way too late visiting. Tawnya and her kids came up that night also to increase the party number! Saturday we visited and went on a hike on the Washington side in a bunch of rocks. With the amount of pictures we got I think there was not a lot of actual hiking going on:) That night Tawnya had to head out:( and we got some rest. Sunday I got to visit with BOb and Lacey's Family. Always nice to get to catch up in person! Then I went home to have an exciting birthday party with Heather, dad and Ridge! I scored on some sweet gifts. Mom came home to yet again keep me up late into the wee hours of the morning. Monday we got up to go horseback riding and took a long ride (I think we got lost once or twice:)) then had to rush home to start my trek back to Seattle to catch my flight home. Landed in time to jump in my car and drive straight to work. Tired and happy and always stoked to see my husband!

 

 Sorry this pic is way to cute of Riley not to post:)

 What is not to love about Oregon/Washington??!!!!

 Heff with my camera? Crazy ones:)

 Not easy taking pics riding on the back of the horse that sensed every time I turned on my camera so would look back and forth and want to trot. I don't think he liked me much.

 Couldn't have asked for a prettier day!! That is Mt.Hood in the distance!

Dishwasher!

I have been wanting a dishwasher since before we moved in. It is too late in the century to still be washing dishes by hand:) We had a portable one which was fine except we used it so much we never rolled it out of the kitchen and it is smaller then normal dishwashers so you couldn't put any pots or pans in it. So my awesome husband finally ripped out some cabinets and installed a dishwasher for the first time in a house that has never had connections for one!! He did amazing:)

Being Us:)

 Scott being the super amazing husband he is and helping paint our ugly ghetto laundry room with paneling. Now it is terribly painted but feels bigger and not so gloomy:)

 We couldn't figure out our furnace for the longest time. Turns out the gas button needed reset. But until then Daisy curled up with the space heater and cledus curled up with his electric blanket. YES people it gets cold in Texas.

 Yep, Scott making his epic homemade pizza and us being us!

Working one Saturday in Houston, decided to treat Cledus with a break in a park. The road to it was a little unerving with water on both sides but the evening was beautiful and Cledus was beyond adorable:)

Christmas Day 2012

 Scott looks sooo excited to celebrate Christmas. He thinks it will be a 10 minute ordeal...Or he is in for a real treat!

 Yay This is more like it! More Excitement:)

 The anticipation is in her eyes:)

 Awww Cute book about me when I was a baby from my mom to Scott!

 Ummm...??

 He is sooo excited to have more gums. Most random flavors ha ha

 Necklace?......

 Scotts new helmet from his beautiful wife!

 Yay Daisy is happy now! (it was gone in 2 days:() Sometimes I don't know why I try.

 Searched the stored for a duck that I have been wanting to get Cledus. This penguin was a 94 Cent spur of the moment purchase and Yes, its his favorite. Who knew?

 Sooo many fun gifts form everyone this year. My house can finally start looking more like a home!

                                             I am ready for the apocolyps!
