Taylor Swift & Kelly Pickler Concert in Portland
We had an all girls Saturday night. Katie, Destanee (DD), Brittany (also a cousin) and Me. The concert was at 7:00 we left about noon and went to dinner at the cheesecake Factory and kinda messed around. The chicken strips below are a kid portion. We thought that was a HUGE amount for a kid. Waited in line for a hour for t-shirts. HOLY COW needed ear pluggs for the screaming little girls. It was a great night overall tho.
Baby Hugh Heffner
Mooka's
We call kisses Mooka's. He will pretty much give anyone a Mooka now if you ask AND you can catch him. He likes to run away from you. Katie here asked for a Mooka. What the pictures dont show is after he was forced by her to get 2 of them he then payed her back for capturing him and tying him down for them. We won't even begin to go on from there...
Sweet Boy and Cute Puppies
These are my Aunt Lisa's puppies. Her Chihuahua Marley had puppies. The puppies are 3 weeks along here. There were 4 of them. Sexi Lexi, Lola, Rico Suave and Trixie. Those are the name Destanee (aka DD) gave them...lol Here he is holding Lola nicely. We were all soooooooooooo impressed that he was so gental everybody had their camera's out. She gave three away to family and friends and kept Lexy. showen in the pic above

Meet Buck ...(200lbs of St Bernard/Black Lab)
This is our dog Buck. As you can see he is very mellow. He lets Cruz do whatever Cruz feels like doing at that time. Katie tries to make him do tricks, but the only trick he does is sleep and chases a red kong ball. He also has many hobbies. Sleeping, Sun tanning, Eating Pig ears, Sleeping (did I say that already lol). He is a great dog for the kids and they love him.
It's A Cold Morning On The Deck
We had just taken Kitty (Katie) to school and Cruz though he should get to take a trip to play on the deck. Well technically the chairs. He likes to play on the chairs and climb on things he's is NOT suppose to do, of course!
Katie Playing
Here's Katie palying. These dolls names are Rosey and Brooke Im suppose to tell all of u. And yes there r many,many more. BUT were only posting a few!
Playing On The Deck With B-Ball
Hanging out with B-Ball (Michael) on the deck. Michael is a pretty active person and the kids still give him a good workout! Michael just left for the Military a few days ago. We all miss him.
My New Hair Cut
War Wound
This is one of MANY accidents. Cruz like to live on the edge. He is willing to try ANYTHING several times weather there is "NO" or "STOP" involved or not. Anything distructive put it on his list of top things to do.
Hello To All

I started work at a new place (I love by the way) and we are currently in the mix of planning a So. Cal trip...YEAH!! In the mean time I have a whole bunch of updating to do on here so please be patient. I planned on updating every Monday BUT Cruz turns out to be more of a handfull each week. So it's late he's asleep let the updating begin...

Playing In My Boots
We had Aunt Lynda, Uncle Dale & Darren Here this past weekend (my Mom's Aunt and Uncle). Of course it rained. They live in Brookings which is on the coast so they probably brought it with them. On Saturday it stopped raining for a while and it was actually kind of nice. We put Cruz in his John deer boots and him and Katie wandered around outside for a bit. His first stop was the mud puddles. Had to stomp threw every one. Laughed the whole time. After about 10 minutes of that next stop was the shop. He decided to take a little walk to see the tractor at the garden. Dad finally came out and told him to get back down here and he came struttin back. After a few minutes of being outside and a few mud puddle splashes to the legs Katie was done outside. She went in a little upset, trying to convince everyone that her little Brother was a demon. Once she was aware of Hannah Montana re-runs on T.V. she forgot all about it. The rain started back in, then it was indoors for a kick back and relax weekend.
Neck Ache...Faker
My dad has a lot of neck aches. Whenever we travel he ALWAYS takes a neck pillow for in the car and wears it, even at home sometimes. His neck pillow he keeps in his lower living and Cruz now thinks that it his room to. So everything in it, he thinks he is entitled to also. Now since the neck pillow of my Dads is kept there he puts it on his neck and carries it around. We were out shopping one day and ran across this monkey neck pillow. The first time we gave it to him he knew just what it was for. Around the neck it went. He would try to look at it and then once he figured out he could chew on it well, there went the head. He uses it to watch T.V. or just to run around with. But most of the time he wears it to compare his with Papa's.
My First Coloring!
Cruz is now getting to the age that IF you contain him coloring COULD be a possibility. So I though what the heck. So down to Wal-Mart we go. He was so excited getting to rip what color he chose of the rack. Once our Wal-Mart trip was complete we headed for home. I put him in his high chair and prepared for the worst. Turns out he did really good. He had to turn them all around every time I gave him a new color and just check it out. When the color hit the paper he was all excited. After about 10 or so minutes he was pretty much ready to be turned loose again. I took the marker and colored his hands with it and we stamped some hand prints in the three colors. He was looking at me like I had lost my mind. But once we mov ed on to a new color he thought that it was exciting. While I was getting a was cloth he was stamping his high chair and laughing. After A clean up he is un-caged and ready to go back to "Hurricane" mode.

The Chair and An Update
Hello to all. I really haven't updated much on how we are all doing. Things are moving along pretty well here. Spring Break is this week. Katie is enjoying her time off...She says's she can't wait for Monday to come. I think she is ready to go back! she missed the week before because she was really sick. Cruz is just getting over his stuff. When one gets it the other is not far behind. They are getting along great. Katie is a great big Sister. She says he bothers her sometimes but they work it out. She just organized her room yesterday and this morning I seen a sign on the door "Cruz is not aloud in here." If her door is open he's going in. All the stuff she has he only sits in her chair. Every time he V lines for it and just laughs. She calls him Chunky and it must be her tone because he just laughs at her. He just got a new chair. He had a foam one and tries to tip it over and were afraid he is gonna get hurt, so he got a sturdy one. He still climbs in it and shakes it BUT it don't go nowhere. It's just his level and when he wants to sit down he puts his hands behind his back and backs up to it then sits. It's really cute. Cam and I are doing good. I had food poisoning for 4 days! YUCK but I lived to tell. Cam has been working like crazy. The Portland job is all done so he has been working at the University of Oregon and doing a house on the side. My Aunt and Uncle from Brooking are coming this weekend and hopefully we get some nice weather soon. But hey it's Oregon it's suppose to rain. You think I would be use to it after 27 years! Talk to you all soon!

Portland Trip
On Sunday Cam, Katie, Cruz, Destanee and I took a small road trip to Portland. Our intentions...Shopping! We stopped off at Woodburn at the new Coach outlet, then went on to Pioneer Place @ downtown Portland. We had lunch and walked around. Visited the Coach store of course while Katie and Destanee shopped at the candy store. The weather wasn't the best so our outside shopping was cut short. After we loaded back up we headed to Washington Square mall. When we got parked and were ready to unload Cameron decided he needed to work on the Bugaboo (Stroller) something to do with a flat tire. So 20 minutes later we are on our way in lol. We are pretty big fans of tea. In the mall they have a place called Teavana. They make some of the best teas, well we were running low so we had to get a re-fill on our cans for home. The girls went crazy at Gordivia the chocolate place. It was starting to get kinda late so we headed out. We at dinner at probably the best steakhouse ever...McCormick & Schmicks. Cruz must have drank toooooo much tea because he was all rilled up. Holy cow, Cam had to take him and detain him. After a great dinner we headed south for home and Monday (Spring Break) to begin...YEAH!!

Cheeseburger Face...You Have New Picture Mail
The Scarf
Cruz has this scarf he packs around pretty much everywhere. He even tries to sleep with it. I have had the scarf for about 4 years now. Its been up in the closet until recently and now has a new owner. Were not quite sure what it is about the scarf but he thinks it's the greatest thing ever.
