Veterans Day

The happiest place on earth. Okay not really Disneland but it sure is a lot of fun. We headed out to our local play place for fun pizza and arcade time. It seemed as if everyone else had the same idea. We were so busy having fun we didn't even make it upstairs for tot town. Chenoa is a happy camper and Kylee is sleeping a hopefully extra long nap! Now I am set to study my massive amounts of flashcard for Anatomy. Wish me luck:)

Car Show

Sunday was the car show. The girls and I met Marc and his buddy there. So we got to sleep until 7. The car show was incredibly quiet because of the rain the afternoon before. We always enjoy going to the car show. It was nice having Marc's friend because he got to have car talk. Wich is not the same as my car conversation. Chenoa especially loves driving her own little race car. She did incredibly well at driving. We were all impressed!! The girls also enjoyed balloons from a clown and Chenoa had her face painted.

Mommy and Student (No Work)

The full effect of no longer being employed has kicked in this week. Now that I have spare time on my hands. I was able to head out to the mall this morning. Of course I had been needing to go there for weeks. My makeup had run out. However, I hadn't been to the mall in months and it sure does feel like I did whatever I wanted today. I wasn't so backed up with errands to run that after Kylee woke up from her nap we hung out at the house. I did study but it wasn't trying to rush to fit it in. This was much more relaxing study time. Tomorrow we are off to Old Navy to get Kylee a jacket.. 50% of outerwear. After that maybe I will take the girls to the park. Kylee will even get a nap tomorrow and I will study. Because I don't even have to go to work on Saturdays anymore. I am not feeling like a crazy busy lady anymore. This is going to be good. Although I am thinking of money saving since I am not working anymore. One thought... dying my own hair. Do I dare to try?

I Voted

I voted:) But the girls got all the stickers. Last time I voted for President it was so dissapointing. It was so much more exciting this time to have my vote go to the winning side.

1st Birthday

Nov. 1st was the day of the big party. Preston turned 1!! Chenoa was sick in the middle of the night after trick or treating. Even though we were pooped we had important things to do. We all packed into the car. Kylee napped in the car while Chenoa and I held some of the many presents on our laps.



Preston is getting so big. It's so fun to watch him grow and his personality come out. I was also looking forward to seeing Jarom and Danielle. They have so much excitment and happy times happening in there lives. I love being able to share these times. The party turned out so well. The decorations were so cute. They had a monkey theme. The decorations were a classic retro monkey with polka dots. Blue and yellow ballons surounded the room. They even had fun cupcakes with a monkey decoration on top. Preston had his very own cake to enjoy. It didn't take long for Preston to be covered in frosting. There house was full of family and friends celebrating Preston.



It turned out so well. I only wished I hadn't been so exhausted. My three hours of sleep didn't take me as far as I had hoped. I wasn't quite as happy and peppy as I had wished to be. Little did I know I was on my way to being sick just as Chenoa had been. Oh man those chills were so painful. In the morning I was a lot better and we were able to hop on the plane with the girls.

I hope I will be able to get back soon. Hopefully when no one is sick. Oregon was beautiful the trees at this time are so colorful. When it wasn't sprinkling the sun was out. The temperature only dropped low at night. I am looking forward to heading back soon:)

Trick or Treat

Halloween in Portland worked out so well. We picked up my nephew Jayden for some trick or treating. He had already been out so he lucked out with double the trick or treating fun:) Chenoa and Jayden are like two peas in a pod. They play for hours and hours at a time. They enjoyed running around and munching on candy. My mom and I stayed on the side walk with the cameras ready to go. While my dad brought Kylee and the other kiddos up to the houses. I hung on to Keiko, my parents full standard sized poodle. It was fun to see some of the gorgeous houses. Kylee was a trooper she had fun the whole time. Even though we stayed out until 9pm. Kylee really got into the going up to peoples houses, saying hi, and getting candy. Trick or Treating is definitely for her. Her favorite thing to do when we go out is walk up to people and say hi!

Kylee's First Flight

It all started with a lollipop. Kylee's very first lollipop. A women walked by and asked may I give your girls a lollipop. Why of course it's Halloween.

Then we took off in the air. Chenoa and I told Kylee we are flying! Kylee's very first flight!

I was a little bit nervous flying with the girls on my own. But Kylee's very first flight. It was pretty cool. To watch her look out the window and say wow!
