oregon

We decided to tag along with kurts parents to oregon for his dads 50th high school reunion... really it was just an excuse to go. It was a lot of fun and to beautiful. We took Cailyn which was an adventure since we were in the truck 70 percent of the time. We went up to meet kurts uncles since i've only met a couple of them and they have never met cailyn. We also went to the beach which was interesting since it was cold and cloudy outside and the water was even colder. Cailyn loved the water though. She kept trying to run back out into the waves. On the way back we decided to stop and see a couple of the waterfalls along the columbia river.

the reason i love oregon. all the green is so calming.. it was beautiful


we of course couldnt go to portland without going to the mall
the columbia river
she got bored apparently in the hotel and found a wonderful game...
all in all it was a really fun trip. We got to see lots of family and had a wonderful time spending the weekend with his parents and cristian.

I decided that she needed some toys for outside so i went and got her a car, which come to find out i had to put together.... THIS WAS INTERESTING

She wanted to help so bad everytime i had to hammer or screw something she would try to grab it and do it herself. We left it a convertable until kurt gets home since i couldnt get the top to go on it was much more difficult than it looked.

one of her new favorite games is to put on my shoes and walk around the house
as you can tell i only have a few months left until she and the dogs are in and out all day long....
So as most everyone is aware we are expecting a baby boy in decemeber. My due date is christmas, and we have no idea what we are going to name him, but cailyn is going to be a great big sister.

July

Kurt and i decided to go to denver to see the braves play the rockies. We left on thursday and came back yesterday. It was a fun but busy weekend, we decided to drive to that we could stop along the way. It was neat to see everything and colorado is gorgeous. When we got to denver we decided to go the friday night game as well as the saturday game it was so cool to see them play at the field. We went shopping and on a tour of a old historic gold mine which was really interesting. We also got to meet up with one of my oldest and best friends for dinner since she lives there. It was so nice to see her, and her family (i wish i would have taken some pictures). We had a wonderful time seeing everything. But as always it was nice to come home and see Cailyn and the dogs.

(the pictures are backwards so this first one was on the way home and the last one was on the way there)



(we ran into a sleet storm on the way home. The temp outside was 43 degrees)
(this was the gold mine. It was really interesting to hear the history of it)
We were going gold panning.. gotta love the hard hats
(this is the real reason i like baseball... )
(it was funny to watch the grounds crew, it took 6 people to water the in field and they couldn't walk on the part that was already wet)
Me and kurt at the game (not the most flattering picture)
batting practice
This was from the game on friday night. The batter hit a line drive and it hit the back of the pitchers leg. We found out the next day that it had actually broken it and he will have to have surgery and wont play for at least the rest of the season
We had a rain delay and it was the neatest thing to watch the ground crew roll out and roll back up this huge tarp.
Kurt and i at the friday night game

this was marble Colorado. It was a cool little town that had huge chunks of marble everywhere. this is actually looking into the back of the mine. the white stuff is mostly marble
Back to the 4th of the july... we had so much fun. Kim and i took cailyn to the park to watch the parade which she loved!! Then we had the family over for a bbq and lit fireworks. Cailyn loved the fireworks, she kept trying to run out into the street to play with them.

For Cailyn's birthday she got this water play mat, its really cute so we decided to take cailyn out and play with it. She loved it, she would sit on it and splash and play with the water.
