A good day!!!

Yesterday I felt was a good day to go around and see what Forest Grove had! So we jumped in the car and as Belle says "explore Ya ya" But before ofcourse she had to dance and take a bath... while Cash played in the blankets which seems to be his favorite thing to do lately! Then we headed out.... We drove like 5 minutes pass our house and ended up on a crazy path. It was covered with trees. I got nervous a bit ha ha I had no idea where I was going! The path ended up opening to a view of Forest Grove! Farm land and soo beautiful! We saw lots of cool things like a cool bus stop sign, a cool barn, lots of plants, HUGE trees, a river! As we drove we came to a horse stable!! I thouhgt oh this will be so fun to show the kids! We got out and Belle instantly started crying and clinging to my leg and she would not let go.... she just kept crying "Mama Horses HUGE MAMA... HUGE!" Hahaha she would not get near them. and Cash's eyes were huge! He was like what in the world is that!? After trying to get Belle to relax and not be afraid of the horses for what felt like forever we left and went to the park and boy was she excited to get out of there! She booked it to the park!

Belle Shakin it...


Her running to the park. This isn't a great video but you can tell she was excited not to be with the Horses!

Tink and Buddy

Belle is 21 months almost 22 in 7 days! Where do I begin with Belle... MISS INDEPENDANT! She does everything herself... She is the best helper. She loves to put clothes away, help Cash, read to Cash, sweep, fold the clothes, and wipe up her messes! She loves books.... she could read all day if I let her. She is really into the color pink! Pink, pink, pink!!!! She found her tutu's and thats all she wears! She loves playing tea party, and tries to skateboard. She loves OUTSIDE..... She always talks... I can't get her to be quiet! it's weird having someone with a tiny little voice remind me to say the blessing.... "MOMMY!!!! BLESSING!" or say when I am tickling her "Mom get off me!" hahah oh well then! She is so sassy! how she dances, talks, moves, etc! She loves to sing... anything with hard rockin guitars and drums she is into! She love to slow dance with Monkey! SHE EATS EVERYTHING... "I want some!" I haven't eaten an entire meal for months!!! She is so sweet if she ever hurts me she feels so bad she comes over and kisses me so I don't last being mad very long!! She can throw a fit!!!!!!!!!!!! but she usually says after time out "I ready... nice.. soft, good girl, sorry Mama!" Belle has so much energy! never slowing down. except recently she keeps asking me to watch a movie! she loves Bambi, Mary Poppins, Finding Nemo, Chipmunk Adventure, Over the Hedge, and hopefully sound of music! I love being with her. Everywhere I go she has to say hello to all the people! It takes awhile to do anything! Belle I love ya Girl and I can't believe you are almost 2!!! Pink party comin up for you!!!





6 Month Cash well for 6 more days!! Cash is still HUGE!! He is everywhere... one minute he is right next to me the next he is across the room playing with the fan! He is always so happy except when he is hungry then the world is ending! He usually sleeps through the night but sometimes he likes to eat 2-3 times don't ask me! He LOVESSSSSS Belle, he laughs at he constantly ans he LOVES his Daddy... When Monkey walks through the door it sounds like a bird is flying loose in the house... but it's just Cash excited to see his pops! HE loves baby food.... loves the meat.... totally boy! He talks all the time and he has 2 teeth... ouch! He loves to swing! He laughs so hard when you push him on the swing. He always shakes his head no and laughs at himself cause he thinks he is funny. Even though he has been sick I would have never known he was without the rash cause he is just so pleasant and happy. Everyone always wants to hold him... He seriously brings so much happiness to everyone. Belle has nicknamed him Buddy! She always asks where's Buddy? or good morning Buddy!!! hahah Cash is growing up way too fast! I love him so much! I love when he cuddles he just nuzzles in and smiles at you! sweet is the word I would use to describe Cash Man! I love you Cash!







These two have so much fun together... I am so grateful we have both of them!!! I love you two so much!

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!
