Forest Grove our new home

Forest Grove, Oregon home of Pacific University..... our new home???? Well when we first rolled into Forest Grove I felt like crying!!! it is all farm land and like 2 streets make up the town. Why is there a university here??? I have no idea. The biggest thing in town was a safeway and now luckily a walmart! It is tiny and very old.... but.... I NOW LOVE IT! This month before Monkey starts school we decided to have summer in a month and do whatever we could... We explored Forest Grove which is beautiful. our neighborhood has gardens everywhere, huge trees, parks, old houses, couches on every porch, tire swings, and my favorite cool breezes! Our good friends Jim and Vanessa came to visit (we were sooooo excited to see them), we been to Monkey's families house lots, Monkey's amazing parents bought Monkey and I a boat cruise for his graduation and oh that was incredible, we went to the zoo, the beach, Hagg Lake which is the best place in the world... We have had a blast..... and our kids are getting so big. Belle is talking like crazy, the other day I asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up and she said Cinderella and go to church! and then she was crying nonstop in the car and finally I was like BELLE WHAT IS WRONG.... she spoke jibberish forever and finally said.... ummm I'm tired!!! haha She is trying to be potty trained! She loves the potty I have no idea why. Cash is huge he is in 12-18 month clothes and just so happy. He was been getting sick of and on the doctors still aren't sure what is wrong. They put me on a no diary diet too see if that is affecting him at all... That has been extremely hard for me cause my favorite things.... milk, most doughnuts, cheese (obviously), crab dip, anything creamy, ice cream, well practically everything has some type of diary so I am living of chicken and veggies!!! hahah I guess thats a blessing and totally worth it cause Cash hasn't broke out in a rash for a week. but anyways life is going great we miss everyine in Colorado sooo bad Belle always asks to play with her cousins and for grandma and grandpa!






























































Tomorrow Monkey starts his first day of optometry school and I start my first day of being a single mother again! I better start getting creative! I am so happy that we got a couple weeks with Monkey before the big 4 year plung!
