That was crazy. props to all you single moms out there. Now we are trying to get back into normal life again. Roger is so happy to be a police officer and "bust the bad guys". He loves his new career and I like saying. yeah my husbands a pig!....

She might look like she's happy and having a good time but 10 minutes before this was taken she was crying and was scared of the photographer. I don't know how we pulled it off but we got a pretty good picture out of her. She's growing up so fast.Karinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13561437528859349246noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762401550583841884.post-33769928479640033042010-10-10T18:35:00.000-07:002010-10-10T18:48:25.911-07:00Stop To Smell The Roses Once In A While<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/TLJrBdZhSfI/AAAAAAAAA2Y/UBgy-qMukuE/s1600/IMG_2395.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/TLJrBdZhSfI/AAAAAAAAA2Y/UBgy-qMukuE/s400/IMG_2395.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5526597365552728562" border="0" /></a> (pictures don't do the sunset justice, but you get the idea)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/TLJqQZglryI/AAAAAAAAA2Q/5BExrA7SIgU/s1600/IMG_2397.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 224px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/TLJqQZglryI/AAAAAAAAA2Q/5BExrA7SIgU/s400/IMG_2397.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5526596522695044898" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/TLJqBxKXEEI/AAAAAAAAA2I/REm_OAr65Dw/s1600/IMG_2401.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/TLJqBxKXEEI/AAAAAAAAA2I/REm_OAr65Dw/s400/IMG_2401.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5526596271346225218" border="0" /></a> (my chickens like to follow me around begging for food when I go out back)<br /><br />We have the most amazing sunsets almost every night behind our house. I don't often pay attention to them because its the time we're eating or putting the kids in the bath. I need to take more time to stop and enjoy the beautiful world we live in. I can also see lots of stars out at night in our backyard, which is really amazing to me coming from a big city where you pretty much have to go camping to see any stars. I live in a pretty nice place, I guess I'm pretty blessed.Karinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13561437528859349246noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762401550583841884.post-31821923696148269472010-10-04T19:30:00.001-07:002010-10-04T19:42:52.168-07:00Pre-School Days<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/TKqQelH2JdI/AAAAAAAAA2A/_PZrgQ7UsCg/s1600/thumbnail.aspx.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 160px; height: 138px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/TKqQelH2JdI/AAAAAAAAA2A/_PZrgQ7UsCg/s400/thumbnail.aspx.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524386747958830546" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/TKqOFSRMozI/AAAAAAAAA14/n-Rc3Lsf2II/s1600/IMG_2330.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 224px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/TKqOFSRMozI/AAAAAAAAA14/n-Rc3Lsf2II/s400/IMG_2330.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524384114377794354" border="0" /></a><br /><img src="file:///C:/Users/CAMPBE%7E1/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.png" alt="" /><img src="file:///C:/Users/CAMPBE%7E1/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.png" alt="" /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/TKqN8kV3fZI/AAAAAAAAA1w/Qzn9Js9eOJ4/s1600/IMG_2329.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 224px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/TKqN8kV3fZI/AAAAAAAAA1w/Qzn9Js9eOJ4/s400/IMG_2329.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524383964610395538" border="0" /></a>Clover has turned 3 and that means she is able to go to pre-school! She's so grown up! Before I had kids I thought that pre-school was a joke and it was basically day care that I would never put my kid in. Ha, I was wrong. Clover wanted to go to school, I didn't push her at all... And her school is so awesome. It is a christian church that has a preschool attached. The teacher is great, they learn tons, they do a letter, color, and shape of the week. The have art time, outside play time, snack time, show and tell, learn something about God, and all kinds of other stuff. She loves it. They have picture day this week for her very first of a long line to come of school year photos (I'm more excited about that than she is). But it is a great learning and growing experience for her and I'm glad she is enjoying it. She didn't even cry the first day. (she was the only kid in her class that didn't cry for mommy!)Karinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13561437528859349246noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762401550583841884.post-89329060056238278782010-10-04T17:14:00.000-07:002010-10-04T17:23:31.967-07:00Campbell's Farm Fresh Chicken Eggs<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/TKpv96RrBzI/AAAAAAAAA1g/5clBs0APW0M/s1600/IMG_2384.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 224px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/TKpv96RrBzI/AAAAAAAAA1g/5clBs0APW0M/s400/IMG_2384.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524351002329417522" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/TKpvw8kQVLI/AAAAAAAAA1Y/yLMahyDV4X0/s1600/IMG_2380.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/TKpvw8kQVLI/AAAAAAAAA1Y/yLMahyDV4X0/s400/IMG_2380.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524350779605931186" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/TKpvmMlPSlI/AAAAAAAAA1Q/fwTen5_lVAI/s1600/IMG_2377.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 224px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/TKpvmMlPSlI/AAAAAAAAA1Q/fwTen5_lVAI/s400/IMG_2377.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524350594926463570" border="0" /></a><br />2 of our chickens have finally started laying eggs. Yeah, 5 months later and 4 chickens down (played with a bit too hard by our dog). but finally the fruits of our labor have come to fruition. We have not yet built them a laying nest because Roger has been away for work and we didn't know exactly how long it would take for them to start laying so they created their own nest. it is a very dirty cubbord next to our shed that has junk in it. I guess that will just have to do for now until we can get around to building them a proper nest box. Hey, it works and it's free. So now we have free range, organic brown eggs at your service every morning. (they lay about 1 a day). It is awesome. mush better then those store bought eggs. I love living on our own mini-farm.Karinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13561437528859349246noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762401550583841884.post-28452190231895999092010-10-04T13:13:00.000-07:002010-10-04T19:27:39.136-07:00Crew Turns 1<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/TKqNEmVHqPI/AAAAAAAAA1o/6SyNBMriA-A/s1600/IMG_2352.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 224px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/TKqNEmVHqPI/AAAAAAAAA1o/6SyNBMriA-A/s400/IMG_2352.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524383003071457522" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/TKo2vXsxXcI/AAAAAAAAA1I/z3xLp4Fl-xM/s1600/P8292708.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/TKo2vXsxXcI/AAAAAAAAA1I/z3xLp4Fl-xM/s400/P8292708.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524288080366886338" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/TKo17XKBZRI/AAAAAAAAA1A/d-eDbL40D_4/s1600/P8272560.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/TKo17XKBZRI/AAAAAAAAA1A/d-eDbL40D_4/s400/P8272560.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524287186867938578" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/TKo1taJBShI/AAAAAAAAA04/g7H45iytbwA/s1600/IMG_2323.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/TKo1taJBShI/AAAAAAAAA04/g7H45iytbwA/s400/IMG_2323.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524286947150875154" border="0" /></a>Crew turned 1 year old on September 25 (which is also my birthday, & I turned 30 Yuck!!!) and I can't believe how fast this past year has gone by. He is a little spit fire and is the happiest, giggliest kid I've met. He is cuddly, and sweet and eats like a horse. He is still learning to walk, and is into everything. He loves to play with his big sis and swing upside down. He is very inquisitive and loves our dog and chickens.

She had her third birthday on August 25. she got a bike from mom and dad, which she absolutely loves. it only took her 1 day to get the hang of the big kid bike and the training wheels. she's natural. we had family and all the neighbor kids over for a pinata and dinner and cake. i made the cake, and it did not turn out exactly as planned. lots of frosting was used to cover up all the issues i had... like the back falling off! oh well, nobody cared and it tasted good so whatev. Now she is on to pre-school. another post on that will have to follow.....Karinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13561437528859349246noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762401550583841884.post-53774243378455358742010-05-27T14:49:00.001-07:002010-05-27T15:35:38.278-07:00Backyard Picture Session<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S_7zgqZaYgI/AAAAAAAAAzM/TSx-dyN_ekI/s1600/IMG_4225.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S_7zgqZaYgI/AAAAAAAAAzM/TSx-dyN_ekI/s400/IMG_4225.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476081939391341058" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S_7zWhq-NGI/AAAAAAAAAzE/LLIR9l5fLco/s1600/IMG_4108.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S_7zWhq-NGI/AAAAAAAAAzE/LLIR9l5fLco/s400/IMG_4108.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476081765250380898" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S_7zJmhbJDI/AAAAAAAAAy8/9IQSSvPTKCs/s1600/IMG_4091.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S_7zJmhbJDI/AAAAAAAAAy8/9IQSSvPTKCs/s400/IMG_4091.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476081543214212146" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S_7yyRIOJYI/AAAAAAAAAy0/xlQ3CTith4I/s1600/IMG_4070.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S_7yyRIOJYI/AAAAAAAAAy0/xlQ3CTith4I/s400/IMG_4070.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476081142334367106" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S_7yjtlV6lI/AAAAAAAAAys/En2GIun5rGo/s1600/IMG_4058.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S_7yjtlV6lI/AAAAAAAAAys/En2GIun5rGo/s400/IMG_4058.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476080892274666066" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S_7yZzlSshI/AAAAAAAAAyk/dzvN0mbIdFA/s1600/IMG_4040.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S_7yZzlSshI/AAAAAAAAAyk/dzvN0mbIdFA/s400/IMG_4040.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476080722086375954" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S_7yMweJy0I/AAAAAAAAAyc/qpxRS_2qmM8/s1600/IMG_4024.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S_7yMweJy0I/AAAAAAAAAyc/qpxRS_2qmM8/s400/IMG_4024.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476080497912826690" border="0" /></a><br />A girl that we met here in town that took our family pics back in October came over a few weeks ago and took some 6/7 month pics of Crew and of the kids together in our backyard. She is so talented. They turned out great. I have cute kids. (I might be a little bias). She even got a great shot of our St. Bernard Zeena Princess Warior. In other news our chickens (we got 6 chicks about a month ago and have been keeping them in our house under a heat lamp in the laundry room). We are finally going to get them out of our house this week and into their own chicken house! They are stinking up of whole house!! Also we planted our garden about a month ago and all our little seeds are sprouting. It's so exciting. If everything grows properly we are going to have veggies coming out the you know what! We've got onions, carrots, peppers, broccoli, califlower, peas, cucumbers, beets, radishes, tomatoes, corn, squash, zucchini, strawberries, and watermellon, oh and lettuce. plus we have 3 apple trees and 1 pear tree, wow! I better learn to can, freeze, and dry.Karinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13561437528859349246noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762401550583841884.post-89347603737582457722010-03-20T10:03:00.000-07:002010-03-22T10:55:51.414-07:00Where To Begin.....

It's been awhile but life has been crazy the past few months. I'll do a quick catch-up. Well, we bought and moved into a great house. Built in 1909, remodeled in 2006, with a basement and finished attic, a porch, pickett fence and the best part a huge yard! We really like it. It has old charm but with 21st century amenities like new appliances, cabinets and carpet and paint. Next Crew is turning 6 months old this month. I can't even believe 6 months has flown by and my little man isn't a tiny baby anymore. Roger got a promotion at work. Meaning a higher rank and more money. So that was really cool. Roger has also been offered a job for the city of Umatilla (one of the 3 cities we live next to) for a full time police officer position. He has decided to take the position and should start in May. The only down side to this awesome opportunity (he's been trying to get on a police department for about 2 years), is that he has to go to the police academy in Salem, M-F for 16 weeks, and Salem is 4 hours away from us. That means he has to live there and we will only see him on the weekends for 4 months starting June-October. This is going to suck but its a sacrifice we have to make I guess. Another exciting (well not quite for me) but challenge we are facing right now is potty training Clover. It is going good mostly but proves to be trying my patience to the breaking point. Some days we have no accidents, others 5 times a day she is peeing her pants. I am at a loss.... And last but not least Roger brought home 2 dogs. Yes, 2 dogs and two different times. Oliver, is our little rat dog. He is half yorkie terrier half shitzu. And then there is our beast Xena (Zena), she is a full blooded St. Bernard. So we have a David and Goliath situation on our hands. Wow, as if I didn't have enough on my plate with a new house and 2 kids.....Karinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13561437528859349246noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762401550583841884.post-80952358249189233252010-01-08T14:51:00.000-08:002010-01-08T15:05:12.574-08:00Coupon Crazy<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S0e5F8jsg5I/AAAAAAAAAxM/aVNgC87Vzc0/s1600-h/IMG_1791.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S0e5F8jsg5I/AAAAAAAAAxM/aVNgC87Vzc0/s400/IMG_1791.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424507787997381522" border="0" /></a> Spent $36 ............................Saved $58<br /><br />I have officially decided that I am no longer going to stand for spending $400-500+ a month at the grocery store. I am going to take charge of my spending and I am starting a new way of shopping. Some like to call it crazy coupon shopping. I like to call it cha-ching saving! I have just barely started this process, only going 2 times so far. But, I am liking what I am seeing and have been doing really well. The basics of my scheme.... Buy on sale items, then use coupons and a few other little tricks to get rock bottom prices. Then stock up on your deals to create a stock pile of items to use for now and later. The 2 times that I have gone, shopping at Albertsons and Yokes (a Washington grocery chain) I have spent little and saved lots. Refer to my pictures to see all my items and my out of pocket $$ and then savings. You too can do this! It is hard at first, but oh so worth it when you see the $$$ your saving at the end<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S0e42gpW2uI/AAAAAAAAAxE/HxizfdSxIoc/s1600-h/IMG_1793.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S0e42gpW2uI/AAAAAAAAAxE/HxizfdSxIoc/s400/IMG_1793.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424507522806897378" border="0" /></a> Spent $31........................Saved $67Karinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13561437528859349246noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762401550583841884.post-56028292214493166342010-01-08T14:40:00.000-08:002010-01-08T14:46:51.858-08:00Playing Dress-Up<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S0e11gjY9xI/AAAAAAAAAw8/spHS-f0Vn1w/s1600-h/IMG_1772.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 224px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S0e11gjY9xI/AAAAAAAAAw8/spHS-f0Vn1w/s400/IMG_1772.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424504207067117330" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S0e1nquAiyI/AAAAAAAAAw0/21YE-l5adJ8/s1600-h/IMG_1748.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 224px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S0e1nquAiyI/AAAAAAAAAw0/21YE-l5adJ8/s400/IMG_1748.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424503969277840162" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S0e1bkubfNI/AAAAAAAAAws/j2T0EyeX0JE/s1600-h/IMG_1778.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 344px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S0e1bkubfNI/AAAAAAAAAws/j2T0EyeX0JE/s400/IMG_1778.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424503761510563026" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S0e1SR9Z85I/AAAAAAAAAwk/N-BWF4xLKBw/s1600-h/IMG_1788.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 224px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S0e1SR9Z85I/AAAAAAAAAwk/N-BWF4xLKBw/s400/IMG_1788.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424503601854280594" border="0" /></a><br />Clover is really into dress up now. She is starting to play make believe and get an imagination. She has to wear her dress up clothes every day and even gets me to let her wear them out of the house sometimes. She is a character. She even got Daddy to join in on the fun once. Thank goodness I got a picture of this for blackmail purposes.Karinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13561437528859349246noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762401550583841884.post-58034720836261713172010-01-08T14:30:00.000-08:002010-01-08T14:40:41.084-08:00Let It Snow<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S0ezc9k0aCI/AAAAAAAAAwc/egUx4Mja2a4/s1600-h/IMG_1779.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 394px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S0ezc9k0aCI/AAAAAAAAAwc/egUx4Mja2a4/s400/IMG_1779.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424501586337753122" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S0ezUBxUbbI/AAAAAAAAAwU/0K46ecwY9H4/s1600-h/IMG_1783.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S0ezUBxUbbI/AAAAAAAAAwU/0K46ecwY9H4/s400/IMG_1783.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424501432845102514" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S0ezGdile2I/AAAAAAAAAwM/YO_ZEpYme-o/s1600-h/IMG_1731_1.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 331px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S0ezGdile2I/AAAAAAAAAwM/YO_ZEpYme-o/s400/IMG_1731_1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424501199781329762" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S0ey9wdvqMI/AAAAAAAAAwE/KDXndYzQUl0/s1600-h/IMG_1737.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 281px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S0ey9wdvqMI/AAAAAAAAAwE/KDXndYzQUl0/s400/IMG_1737.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424501050242476226" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S0eyxQr4aUI/AAAAAAAAAv8/xZWlTLH2Xec/s1600-h/IMG_1743.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/S0eyxQr4aUI/AAAAAAAAAv8/xZWlTLH2Xec/s400/IMG_1743.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424500835553405250" border="0" /></a>It has snowed here a few times, stayed for a week or two, and then warmed up and melted. Even without the snow it has been really cold in Hermiston. We are finding out that this area gets on top of snow, freezing rain, sleet, and lots of ice. I didn't realize this when I moved her. But, I guess its nice to have seasons and weather from boring old Vegas where its sunny 300 days a year. So bring on the snow!Karinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13561437528859349246noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762401550583841884.post-71244411197897774062009-12-17T10:26:00.000-08:002009-12-17T10:38:08.716-08:00Santa Claus Freak Outs<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/Syp4dBErEUI/AAAAAAAAAvs/uEVBioITVHs/s1600-h/scan0001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 283px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/Syp4dBErEUI/AAAAAAAAAvs/uEVBioITVHs/s400/scan0001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416273941766017346" border="0" /></a> (This Year 2009)<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/Syp3_7DiA_I/AAAAAAAAAvk/cSUbbJoaGY0/s1600-h/IMG_0250.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 344px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/Syp3_7DiA_I/AAAAAAAAAvk/cSUbbJoaGY0/s400/IMG_0250.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416273441934410738" border="0" /></a> (Last Year 2008)<br /><br /><br /><br />Santa Claus is a scary man for kids. Seriously people. We expect our kids to just go sit on some strange guys lap. What is wrong with parents, this is boarder line torture. Last year Clover did not do the Santa thing very well at all. This year, she was very nervous and wouldn't sit on his lap until I told her that Santa was giving out candy canes after you took your picture with him, which got her to stand next to him with a very nervous look on her face. Plus, the Santa this year was not very nice. First off he was late showing up. Then he wouldn't talk to, smile at, look at, or make the kids feel comfortable at all. I think maybe Santa hates his life and had a hang over.....Karinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13561437528859349246noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762401550583841884.post-4529209868452755682009-12-04T16:31:00.001-08:002009-12-04T16:36:54.495-08:00Family Pics 2009<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/SxmrGIF8fnI/AAAAAAAAAvU/zeg-1CosrdY/s1600-h/Campbell+Family-87.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/SxmrGIF8fnI/AAAAAAAAAvU/zeg-1CosrdY/s400/Campbell+Family-87.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411544549002346098" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/Sxmq1X2OnmI/AAAAAAAAAvM/gRGchQfVTu0/s1600-h/Campbell+Family-33.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/Sxmq1X2OnmI/AAAAAAAAAvM/gRGchQfVTu0/s400/Campbell+Family-33.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411544261173616226" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/Sxmqp3J1_ZI/AAAAAAAAAvE/mJI1ZWP_X-4/s1600-h/Campbell+Family-115.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/Sxmqp3J1_ZI/AAAAAAAAAvE/mJI1ZWP_X-4/s400/Campbell+Family-115.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411544063418957202" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/SxmqPXGz-OI/AAAAAAAAAu8/QzEvbU36DOM/s1600-h/Campbell+Family-74.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/SxmqPXGz-OI/AAAAAAAAAu8/QzEvbU36DOM/s400/Campbell+Family-74.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411543608139708642" border="0" /></a>Karinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13561437528859349246noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762401550583841884.post-76777173952310915602009-11-07T20:51:00.000-08:002009-11-07T20:53:55.535-08:00Sisterly Love?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/SvZOhkTRQJI/AAAAAAAAAus/nQZrdufyhbg/s1600-h/IMG_1498.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/SvZOhkTRQJI/AAAAAAAAAus/nQZrdufyhbg/s400/IMG_1498.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401591141664637074" border="0" /></a><br />Well, usually she is nice and sweet and kisses and hugs her little brother.

I think they turned out adorable, but I might be a little impartial.... and he did amazing. He slept for the first half, then he woke up and hung out without crying. He was born for the spotlight.

He was born at 38 weeks and 1 day. It was a pretty exciting and unexpected birth considering I had just had a doctors appointment the day before and the doctor said I was only 1 cent. dilated and nothing had changed and everything was looking fine. I went to bed that night (Thursday) feeling fine and Roger went to work. (he works graveyard shift). I woke up at 3:30 am with some cramping not thinking much of it because I had been having false contractions for a few weeks. An hour went by and the contractions were not going away so at 4:30 I called Roger at work and told him I thought this was the real thing. He came home immediately and we started packing our things. Another half hour/hour went by and the contractions were getting closer and harder and Roger said I think we better go now. (the hospital is 30 miles and 40 minutes away). We woke up Clover and said we had to go to the doctor, jumped in the car and sped away (this was at 5:00 am). Then the contractions started full blown, hard fast and unbearable. I was sweating like I had just run a marathon and the pain was really bad. I thought I wanted to die. I told him he better drive faster, so he stepped on it and at 100 miles an hour we made it to the hospital in 20 minutes. I jumped into a wheelchair as Roger parked the car and grabbed Clover. They rushed me to my room, screaming in pain and asking to be doped up but by then it was too late, no drugs. (That was my plan all along, but in the moment you just want the unbearable pain to stop.) My water burst all over the room, Roger and Clover got there, he held her in one arm, my leg in another and in 20 minutes time Crew was born. The doctor didn't even make it in time, the nurses delivered and the doc. came in 5 minutes late and said ok I'm here. So, long story I had a 3 hour total labor, almost had the baby in the car and didn't even have a doctor there. It was pretty crazy. But, Crew is here and is healthy and is an awesome new addition to our family.Karinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13561437528859349246noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762401550583841884.post-75646711027025956802009-09-21T15:55:00.000-07:002009-09-21T15:58:22.775-07:00Clover's 2 year pictures<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/SrgEzSzD4xI/AAAAAAAAAqk/JON1hXPHzE0/s1600-h/scan0004.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 277px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/SrgEzSzD4xI/AAAAAAAAAqk/JON1hXPHzE0/s400/scan0004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384058633787269906" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/SrgEvJsUZBI/AAAAAAAAAqc/mQNhU6OV8Hk/s1600-h/scan0003.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 283px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/SrgEvJsUZBI/AAAAAAAAAqc/mQNhU6OV8Hk/s400/scan0003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384058562623595538" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/SrgEqtr-SII/AAAAAAAAAqU/WEfi4jGnG48/s1600-h/scan0005.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 277px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/SrgEqtr-SII/AAAAAAAAAqU/WEfi4jGnG48/s400/scan0005.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384058486386477186" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/SrgEkgyl8aI/AAAAAAAAAqM/NfZtlL-Z7uk/s1600-h/scan0002.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 279px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/SrgEkgyl8aI/AAAAAAAAAqM/NfZtlL-Z7uk/s400/scan0002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384058379845366178" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/SrgEciyiprI/AAAAAAAAAqE/P3dBjqTlj4w/s1600-h/scan0001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 279px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/SrgEciyiprI/AAAAAAAAAqE/P3dBjqTlj4w/s400/scan0001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384058242943067826" border="0" /></a><br />I got her 2 year old pictures taken about a week ago.

I say dance class loosely because it is mostly doing a few moves, playing some games, singing songs, and a lot of running around and not paying attention. The class is for I think 18 months to 4 years olds. Her and her friend Sofia were the youngest ones in the class and they were of coarse the two trouble makers who would run around and not do the moves the teacher was trying to teach. But, in the end they got to do their dance by themselves in front of an audience and I think Clover did good for her first time. They even got little certificate and roses after the performance from their teacher. It was cute. If nothing else it's entertaining to say the least.<br /><br /> (I tried to download the performance but i guess the file was too big and blogger wouldn't upload it).Karinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13561437528859349246noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762401550583841884.post-29893631480994470812009-08-30T09:22:00.000-07:002009-08-30T09:41:49.505-07:00They grow up so fast!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/SpqrtokpOLI/AAAAAAAAApk/MlQgA6bTqiE/s1600-h/IMG_1074.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/SpqrtokpOLI/AAAAAAAAApk/MlQgA6bTqiE/s400/IMG_1074.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375797905693685938" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/SpqrmdRb_4I/AAAAAAAAApc/DQLHPFbpzvk/s1600-h/IMG_0991.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 280px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/SpqrmdRb_4I/AAAAAAAAApc/DQLHPFbpzvk/s400/IMG_0991.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375797782401253250" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/Spqrg2TH1TI/AAAAAAAAApU/xqX_-YjpqNg/s1600-h/IMG_1151.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 224px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/Spqrg2TH1TI/AAAAAAAAApU/xqX_-YjpqNg/s400/IMG_1151.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375797686039991602" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/SpqrUQI2C9I/AAAAAAAAApM/6Kibuh9gWQI/s1600-h/IMG_1106.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 336px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/SpqrUQI2C9I/AAAAAAAAApM/6Kibuh9gWQI/s400/IMG_1106.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375797469637905362" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/SpqrKjO6ucI/AAAAAAAAApE/aa0JmpPpyck/s1600-h/IMG_1137.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 353px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/SpqrKjO6ucI/AAAAAAAAApE/aa0JmpPpyck/s400/IMG_1137.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375797302964959682" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/Spqq41vlI5I/AAAAAAAAAo8/ChdJP3EGxeQ/s1600-h/IMG_1165.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 224px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/Spqq41vlI5I/AAAAAAAAAo8/ChdJP3EGxeQ/s400/IMG_1165.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375796998696149906" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/Spqqt6zBBqI/AAAAAAAAAo0/RPUv3jVFtaQ/s1600-h/IMG_1024.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 332px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/Spqqt6zBBqI/AAAAAAAAAo0/RPUv3jVFtaQ/s400/IMG_1024.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375796811074176674" border="0" /></a><br />These 2 years has gone by so fast. My little baby is a crazy toddler now. She's talking like crazy, getting into mischief, pushing her limits, (and my buttons), making friends, taking fun classes, and learning about her world. Some things that Clover does and loves.... loves to watch the cartoon Caillou, says goodness and pats my back when I sneeze, gets up on our bathroom counters to get into the cabinets, has to imitate us by putting on lotion, deodorant, and perfume. She loves going to the city pool, seeing petting and riding horses, and playing with her best bud Sofia who lives next door. She says thank you mommy over and over when I give her something she wants, but has a temper and tends to throw things when she doesn't get what she wants. She is a fun happy kid and we love her. Here are some pictures of our little person from over the summer.Karinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13561437528859349246noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762401550583841884.post-58514713247095282352009-08-28T13:14:00.000-07:002009-08-28T13:31:23.018-07:00Clover Turns 2<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/Spg81oPUZJI/AAAAAAAAAoc/8Rs6bwwN66o/s1600-h/IMG_1191.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/Spg81oPUZJI/AAAAAAAAAoc/8Rs6bwwN66o/s400/IMG_1191.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375113047299089554" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/Spg8nmnS8GI/AAAAAAAAAoU/AYIsi3mCYvA/s1600-h/IMG_1196.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/Spg8nmnS8GI/AAAAAAAAAoU/AYIsi3mCYvA/s400/IMG_1196.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375112806344618082" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/Spg8XfJ3LZI/AAAAAAAAAoM/eqmt2fswXU0/s1600-h/IMG_1169.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/Spg8XfJ3LZI/AAAAAAAAAoM/eqmt2fswXU0/s400/IMG_1169.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375112529464208786" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/Spg8Icpt3sI/AAAAAAAAAoE/jjuuTMbQKqE/s1600-h/IMG_1179.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/Spg8Icpt3sI/AAAAAAAAAoE/jjuuTMbQKqE/s400/IMG_1179.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375112271094472386" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/Spg7vlgW7OI/AAAAAAAAAn8/VZ7lbVcjvbI/s1600-h/IMG_1187.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/Spg7vlgW7OI/AAAAAAAAAn8/VZ7lbVcjvbI/s400/IMG_1187.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375111843974409442" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/Spg7H-U50zI/AAAAAAAAAn0/W9FXsqPi-2s/s1600-h/IMG_1209.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xJG8GLI8BHM/Spg7H-U50zI/AAAAAAAAAn0/W9FXsqPi-2s/s400/IMG_1209.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375111163442484018" border="0" /></a><br />Clover is now 2. Wow, that has gone by fast. She is a little adult now. (or at least she seems to think so). We had an elmo themed party because she is really into Elmo right now. I asked her if she wanted horses, tea party, or elmo for her birthday and Elmo won out. She got to wear an Elmo shirt, Elmo party hat, with matching cups, plates etc. and I made an Elmo cake. She had a good time and got awesome presents. Me and Roger and grandma got her a really cool play kitchen. She also got play food, dinnerware, and cooking pots and pans. A guy that Roger works with got her an electric little suv too. She is still figuring out how to drive that thing. Basically she made out like a spoiled bratt. Doesn't the first kid always get spoiled?Karinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13561437528859349246noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762401550583841884.post-81795711527236263922009-07-28T22:14:00.000-07:002009-07-28T22:28:12.631-07:00Blogger LoserI know I haven't posted in forever. Still haven't gotten my computer up and running. I'm a slacker. I have tons of pics to post so I have to get on that, really I need a wireless modem and I can't find one in my small town sooo... well, we have moved to oregon and I thought I was getting away from Vegas's horrible summer heat but no, it has been around 100 degrees in Hermiston and with that little extra humidity and my lotta extra weight it is not that fun. Clover has made a few friends, our neighbors little girl Sophia which she plays with almost everyday. They are addicted to each other, always asking to play. We bought a little kids pool so they are in that all the time. We have gone camping, went to my mom's on the beach, and we are going to the portland zoo this weekend. Roger is doing some work training at his law enforcement academy for 5 weeks in Salem which is 4 hours away from home so he stays there during the week and we only get to see him on the weekends, so that kinda sucks. I am counting down the weeks until this baby comes out. My butt cannot possibly get any bigger and I've already gained all the weight I did with my first so I am not too happy about that. So far I am still liking my new town, even though clothes/grocery shopping is horrible and just about non-existant. I promise to get pics up soon. Clover is getting so big and she is turning 2 next month.Karinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13561437528859349246noreply@blogger.com0
