Camping May 2007

Here we are at our family campsite hanging out and playing games. My brother took these pics and I stole them off his blog ;) hehehe... so here are a few recent pics of me and my family, everyone is in these except dad, he was busy that weekend. It was also my birthday, so we did a little b-day cake, which Allie enjoyed more than anyone.



My mom, Shaun and I playing games at the table....

This is Shaun my husband and my brother David.

Again, a cute picture of Shaun and David.

These aren't the movies we saw, it's just a pic from the website of the drive in sign so you can see what it looks like. We went friday night to see Shrek 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean 3! It was so fun! we got there kinda late though but ended up getting a spot right up in front. We brought Sadie a long with us too, she loved being out with us, especially out in the fresh air out side. There was other dogs there too, but we parked right next to a truck with a puppy bit bull mix who was bigger than Sadie and she was only 6mos old or something like that. they were cute together :) We brought our couch cushions and a sleeping bag, another big blanket, and two pillows, we were nice an cozy in the bed of our truck! Everything went great and then we went to start the truck to go home, and it was deader than dead!!! the guy next to us gave us a jump but it was so dead that it kept dying as soon as you let off the gas, so we ended up driving home very cautiously, and didn't get home until almost 4am! ;) cause the first movie didn't start until after 9:30pm. But it was well worth it, I love going to the drive in! :) so these are a couple pictures of past and present at the little drive in, that I pulled off their site.

yay! I want to go again ;)















Monday, a week and counting!

hidy ho neighbors...

well we begin this week with a slight panic, as I just realized that I only have a week to pack up the apartment before we have to move this weekend! eeeek!! luckily it's not terribly big, but we do have a lot of junk, it will actually be nice to get rid of a lot of it. anyone I know want an espresso maker? I have an extra one cause Shaun got me a new one for my birthday last year ;) he's so sweet and so good to me I can't wait for the rest of our lives together. Hope every one's father's day was good, ours turned out pretty good I think. My ex came over to see Allie on sat, I was there when he came and really, to Allie it was like any other time he was there, she didn't understand it was supposed to be anything special, and he certainly didn't do anything to make it special. He chatted with my grandma a lot of the time, checked his e-mail on my parents computer for a while, etc... nothing new. But for Shaun and my dad (Allie's grandpa) we went to Michael's and got some crafts to make for them, and wrapped them up and gave them with cards to Shaunie daddy and Grandpa after dinner last night, they thought they were really cute! of course mommy painted and wrote on them and framed them, but they will enjoy thinking of Allie when the look at them. :)

tattoo's...

Isn't this a cool one? I'm totally hooked now that I've gotten one of my own. I think about what to get the next time a lot. I keep searching for good idea's like this one, I don't think I could ever put one spread over my shoulders like this but I love the design and the boldness of it. Anyone else have a cool tattoo pic to share? the worst part is it cost so much money and I never have an extra couple hundred to several hundred dollars to blow on my self. well hope everyone's Wed is good. hope it says that way...

peace.

Morning..
it's tuesday. the sun is out, and I hear it's supposed to be kinda decent today. I'm getting more and more excited about finally moving out of our crappy apartment! it's about 2 weeks away! I've got to try and pick out colors for the house before we even get a chance to move in. We've seen it a few times now so I know what everything looks like and the colors in there now. I spent like 4 hours there during the home inspection, ugh! So... any suggestions are welcome! I'm partial to fun colors and lots of detail. I would like to actually stencil in lots of fun designs on the walls but I don't think we'll have time to do that before we move in, we'll just have to paint the walls and I can work on that later... I can't decide what colors to do the living room, dinning room, and kitchen. it's all kinda small spaces so I'm not sure what colors would be good so that it won't make it look smaller, but I don’t' want it to be boring either. the living room is a decent size though, so I can probably have a little more flexibility with that room. We are definitely painting Allie's room a light purple. She's already requested it. ;)

I'm going to put some of the pictures from the listing of the living room, dining, and kitchen and you can help me think! :)

so... hope everyone's day is going well. keep the peace, smile, and laugh when you can!

Adios Amigos...

Monday... euuck

Morning... I hope everyone's weekend was excellent! ours was decent. We didn't get a lot done as far as responsibilities go. one load of laundry, no packing, no dishes... hehehe...but we relaxed, had a big bbq at my parents house sunday afternoon, that turned out ok with 20 + people there ;) (my brother's thing) Sunday was good I was in the toddler room volunteering at the early service and Shaun stayed home with Allie, and then brought her to church to join me after my "shift". He did really good with her although he made it sound like it almost gave him a heart attack and a permanent twitch, hahah... he called me like 3 times in a row while I was still in the classroom, and finally I told the other girls that I needed to answer it. I answered and the first thing he says is, "where are you?" with quite a sense of urgency.... and i said in the toddle room where I've been all morning that you knew about all day... then he goes on to say he's down the hall in the childerens wing and was trying to check Allie in and she got near the little kids restroom and said as she bolted in before Shaun could stop her, " I have to go potty!" so he was calling me to see if I was close and could go in to see check on her! hehehe, it was really funny.. (had to be there) I thought it was cute that he was so stressed out over it. he hasn't had to do a whole lot with her all by himself, and this was a good opportunity! well, gotta actually start working..

have a great day!

Good morning.
I'm feeling kinda invisible today. I have been getting a weird vibe from the two other women I work with lately, and yesterday and today I've just kinda felt like it's not worth trying anymore. they seem to just talk over me and look past me like I'm not even here. work stuff and personal chit chat, they both just talk to each other and it's like I'm not even in the room. it used to be a little more loose and fun in the office, but I feel like at least one of them has a chip on her shoulder for some reason. I don't know... I'm just getting sick of being ignored, and walked on. I think I'm very capable and can take on more responsibility than I have, and I feel like by boss the other woman of the two in my office just looks at me like I'm a moron and she has to keep it simple when she's talking to me. Anyway.. just venting a little. I'll check back in later to give an update. it had better get better or I'm going to go insane. I e-mailed my ex about the whole father's day issue with Allie yesterday and I haven't heard back yet.

well.. carry on. hope everyone out there has a good day, I'm off to try....

asta manyana.

Well, it's comming to the end of my day, and I have enjoyed all the people who have taken the time to see my postings, and enjoy my pictures, which made me want to throw another one I had up here, I love this one too, a little moment between Allie & I. ;) well, thanks again for checking me out. Have a great night, and a better tomorrow.

peace.

Thanks Shelly! that was sweet of you to check out the blog and to comment. I e-mailed my husband after I set it up and made him comment so I'd at least have one one there! hehehe, I know I'm retarded, but it's fun.
okie dokie... I'm having a little better day thanks to some momsville friends. ;)
Adios...

well, today I feel sorta blah today... I'm tired, moody and just feeling down. there's a lot that's behind all that, but no need to ramble on and on. I just wish I wouldn't let things get to me. I'm excited for a lot of things comming up but right here and now, there's absolutly nothing to singing so to speak. well it's lunch time, and I didn't bring lunch and don't really have money to buy something, and I really just shouldn't eat at all cause I need to loose weight, but that doesn't mean I'm not hungry... sheesh.. listen to me. ok don't. ;) it's better for you anyway. like I said no need to ramble on and on. peace out... have a good day to all those out there that aren't reading this anyway. hahaa..

ok manyana...

I'm messing with the formats with pictures and stuff, I thought I'd throw this one in there, it's just a pic I found, but look how cute!!!! ;)


This is one of my favorite pictures of us. Shaun and I just got married in April, and my little Allie was the cutest little flower girl ever! She did play her part in the wedding with her own style.... she was spotted up on stage with us several times. The funniest was caught on tape by Shaun's brother, she went up and stood next to me but far enough out of my vision that I didn't notice her, Shaun was watching the whole thing, while trying to concentrate on our marriage!... she then sat down on the platform and started rocking backwards a little farther towards laying flat on her back with every rock, and pretty soon all you saw was her little bare legs up in the air, her pull up showing to all the guests, and then plop legs down and flat on her back! hahah, it's was so funny to watch after on the camera. She's definitely a character! We love her expressions, dramatics, and overall personality. I wanted to get at least one pic up to get started, I'll have to work on some more soon. enjoy.

In the begining...

Well... here goes.. I thought it might be cool to start a blog. don't know who on earth will read it or care, but it might be fun. We'll just have to wait and see. ;)

Here's a little about me...
I live in Portland, OR born and raised. I am married to a wonderful man named Shaun. I have a beautiful daughter named Allie, she's almost 3 as she'll tell you promptly apon your asking. We have a stupid dog named Sadie, she's a 1 yr old beagle, and a bundle of trouble. Allie calls her her Sadie pup, it's cute. I have one brother who's name is David. I work as a purchasing asst in a large manufacturing plant in Milwaukie, OR. I enjoy sleeping, eating out, haning out with my friends, spending time with my Allie, animals of almost any kind, nice weather, swimming, camping, etc... lots of stuff like that.

I hope to keep this up and give my self and other's some entertainment out of my posts, life experiences and learn from other people out there whom I respect and look up to.

this may be the longest you'll ever read from me, I'm not too lengthy unless I'm really into something. (and note to self right now, if it's a really long comment or reply I may not read it!) I don't like to spend too much time reading over stuff, just short enjoyable snipets people! ;)

well, here goes.....
Adios for now.
