dam and edgefeild with hadleigh and emla
This last weekend we got to have the best houseguests ever. They did dishes, helped watch Kyla for us, even cooked us a delicious roast dinner. It was almost uncomfortable, i felt so little like a host. Hadleigh and Emla came and stayed with us. It was alot of fun and we already miss them tons. Here are some photos from Some dam in the gorge, i already forgot what its called, and one photo from Edgefield where we stopped for dinner and a drink on the way home. Pretty good day overall. Even though the security guard at the dam was racist again kiwis or something.
Growing up
Just taking a second to address "growing up". I am just thinking back to being an irresponsible kid, unruly teenager, college, dropping out of college, bad decisions, not holding jobs. Not just me, but basically almost every one of my friends. Its insane to see how much we all have grown up. Graduating college, having kids, getting married, pursuing careers, buying houses, buying cars, actually paying off credit cards. My most irresponsible decision in the last 3 years is buying Kyla a pair of 27 dollar shoes when we just bought a car so we are broke. Im excited to go back to school, get a good job and buy an amazing house with my husband and daughter, when just a few years back, it would be something lame like big parties or nights at some bar in costa mesa with my friends having far to much to drink. Guess what im saying is wow we all have our "big girl pants on" now.

the hike
Took Kyla on a hike last weekend with my sister and her family. It was soo beautiful. It still amazes me how pretty and clean and fresh oregon is. Im so happy to be here and i do not take advantage of all if has to offer enough. Although the hike was fun, it was a mile to the waterfall and i would not take Kyla on anything longer than that. Shes not small enough to throw on your back and call it a day. The trail like any had spots that would be way too unsafe for her so we had to carry her which went fine at first, but by the time we made it to the fall, she was tired and antsy and wanted to be left alone. The whole way back i had a very stubborn toddler that wouldnt let us carry her and i wanted to rip my hair out by the time i got back to the car. 1 mile was okay, but anything else would prolly push it too much. We found this really cool cave with out a flash light we werent able to really explore. Plus it was a little cold, if it was one of those really hot days we had last week, it would have been so amazing to jump in the water and go under the waterfall. But it was still good. I can't wait to explore more and for her to get a little bigger so im more comfortable taking her on outings like that. For now i think i enjoy being places where its ok for her to run around and do her own thing. So i guess things are going pretty well. We are having Simons best friend from NZ and his lady over for a week so i have been trying to prepare for house guests again. *we really need a spare room for everyone that comes up to visit since its like once a month* I love the company, its nice having people around since i get real lonely just me and Ky, Simon works really long hours. Anyway better finish stuff around here. Next posting we will probably have a new family car to show off and more adventures with Hadleigh and Emla. Stay tuned <3

Sleepy bear.
Im a mean mommy. Kyla keeps taking these super long naps and i get bored after 2 1/2 hours so i go in and take pictures of her till she wakes up. I love that she looks so much like a baby when shes asleep. I miss my little baby. I love my crazy toddler but i miss my cute little baby. Shes totally not a mouth breather even though she looks like it in one of the pictures. "i do it mommy" her new favorite words when she wants to do something by herself like climb out of her crib. That or "a salf"(myself)
