Trillium Lake

Good 2 mile hike around the lake. Perfect temperature, and the water was so warm, too bad no one was prepared for swimming. Next time we will have swim suits and our tubes with us to float around on the lake. Can't wait to see it become ice and get covered in snow. What did you do this weekend??

Zoo day

Another day at Oregon Zoo with my boo bear.

Falls fall Washington

So pretty! I almost didn't make it, about half way there i got hot and lost Kyla and Simon and barfed behind a tree. After resting and Simon pushing me, I finally made it, and it was well worth it. So i guess im really out of shape...

and me reading

Its her new favorite thing to do and it gives me time to relax for 15 minutes at a time. She goes around taking pictures of just about anything in sight from my phone, and sends every photo she takes to my online album. I found these today while paying my phone bill. Thought it was kind of cute to see what she sees. xxx

So i forgot again. I keep everyone updated through facebook anyway. Nothing new really. Spring here is beautiful but frustrating with the bipolar weather. Sunny and nice turns into hail storms in less than a minute. I'm attempting a garden on my small deck. So far, nothing but its only been about 2 weeks. Kyla is doing good. We are really just getting ready for the summer so we can get in the pool and spend time outdoors. Tomorrow we are going to these hot springs, supposedly its a nudist colony or sorts so im hoping we dont run into too many nudies. Been trying new recipes and working at the clubhouse here in my apartments. Told Simon i would move to New Zealand for a year to try it out after he becomes a US cititzen so thats always in the back of my mind. We have so much of this beautiful state we want to explore before we leave so we are really looking forward to the summer and road and camping trips. At the moment our passports are with the inlaws while they try and get Kyla New Zealand Citizenship but when we get them back we are going up to Vancouver, hopefully by then my friend will have had her second baby. Second babies for me still arent even a thought. I just went through so much tramatic events with Kylas birth i can't even fathom trying it again. Plus i blaim almost every health issue i have on that since its been 2 years and i still dont feel the same, and i suspect i never will. I made a new friend with a son around Kylas age so that has been fun but almost awkward. It's like i spend so much time alone that i don't really know how to act around people. I only just started getting comfortable with Tiff before she took off for Germany. So i guess from here on out ill try to remember to post photos and such of our adventures we are planning on. xxx

beauty and the messy living room

Things have been cooling down here in Portland, its been high 50's to low 60's and raining off and on. Starting to get that cooped up feeling again. I got Ky a jungle gym to put in the living room since we cant go to the park that often anymore. She likes it alot, i don't. Its HUGE. Other than that we are planning our month long vacation in feb/march2010. California and New Zealand. Hoping to take Kyla to Disneyland and have a bbq for her birthday again at my dads. We will only have a few days in Ca so it would be cool to have everyone i wanna see come over and bring kyla presents! haha. Simons good, working alot and playing soccer. Kyla has a cold right now and with the flu scare i've been keeping her isolated till i can get all her vaccinations. Thats just me, over worrier. Shes getting quite tempermental and likes to get into anything she knows is naughty, and gets these horrible tones with me yelling at me and telling me "NO MOMMY ITS MINE" hitting pulling hair, ect.. terrible twos? i hope its just a stage. Sleeping has been hard, i dunno if its a mix of stuffy nose and teething but she thinks its play time between 230 and 430 am. I think maybe once i get her out to play and run around she will sleep better. Right now we are spending alot of time indoors. Its taking its toll on both of us. Ill post some photos. im off to put her to bed now.
