Gator playing with some of her friends after lunch.

Addison wanted me to bring her lunch to school & have a Birthday lunch with the Big Birthday Girl.

Our 1st year here in Oregon.

I remember when Addison our sweet, wonderful little baby like it was yesterday.

Happy Birthday our little Gator, we are very lucky to have you in our smallish family.

We "LOVE" Oregon's beautiful vistas

Oregon has many fun outdoors activities which we love finding & doing!

I can not post all the picture I took on this rafting trip because I was threated with my life if I put on just one of the ravishing pix I took of our boat motors.
"I love my life therefore I will listen to & obey!"

Just to put it out there, I did take a lot of pictures of all the kiddos...it just so happens that the boat motors are in the shots also.

"P.S. Boat motors you will never forget the day I listened to you & obeyed!"

I have gone to a Seattle Mariners baseball game, now I feel complete.

Seattle Mariners vs. New York Yankees
Seattle 5, NY Yankees 2

One of the things I wanted to do since moving to Oregon was to go to a Seattle Mariners game. Which here are the pictures to prove that I did get to go, not only did I get to go to a game I got to go to one of the best games out there. Josh & I went with our good friends, who are Yankees fans. Sorry guys ö! We got the best seats ever...we got the musical chairs. If you have never bought this tickets you should they got better as the game played on. If you look at the pictures we are in a different seats every time. We had a terrific time, I can't wait to do it again.

Dang you garlic fries...Josh had to have Mariners famous garlic fries at the game & we had to smell his offensive funk all the way home. I did get a lucky break from his stink because he has been out of town this week! Ü

Back to School Jitters!!!

I try to be an encouraging mother to my three beautiful little ladies & last week was not a hard task to do. Of course, they heard all of my encouragements the weeks & days before September 2. Therefore, back to school went without any hiccups what so ever, the girls were super excited to be back with familiar faces, the routine of learning, meeting new faces, & getting new teachers. They have been doing very well getting up, going to bed, doing homework already, hanging out with friends on the 1^st weekend of the school year, & talking about their day at dinner every night as a family. There is not a day that goes by were I am incredibly proud of my elegant little ladies. I am the luckiest woman in the whole world to be able to be called mom by my three breathtaking little ladies. I wanted to post a few pictures of their 1^st week back however, they are not willing to pose for any pictures & say “Mom not right now, maybe later!” Just know that I will try to sneak in a few pictures, after all I am known for being sneaky.

To put it out there it has been me with the back to school jitters, all the memories of last year comes flooding back into my mind. I feel like there is no way I can sit home again, doing my daily chores only last for so long by Wednesday I am bored to tears with my day & day time TV is no good! Now that my ladies are getting older with each passing year it is becoming more clear that they are spending more time with their friends & less time with their stay at home mom. They also have activities that pull them away from their home. I think it is time to get a part time job while they are at school.
