sierra's visit

Sierra came to visit me for just one day short of a week, and we managed to blow just about every penny we had shopping, eating, and other fun stuff! haha Ok it wasn't that bad, i still have a few dollars left, maybe enough to get a Starbucks tomorrow! :) Anyways we had a blast while she was here we mostly spent our time watching Micah, and taking pictures, and driving to places we thought we could get some fun pictures at. If we happened to pass a store or two that looked worthwhile while talking pictures we may have dropped in! So here are some of the pictures that we took. Again who knows if these will load onto the page or not, it's kinda a hit and miss deal for me! So we start out with funny picts then at the end is a few of sierra's senior pictures.

this guy was so cut just running around and eating! :)

Sierra thought she'd put her toes in the water! hahaha

The hollow tree that ate us

she was a bit more dramatic than me

we walked across that bridge, and considering how much i hate heights it was pretty scary

beautiful!

hehe

that sign in the background says, falling can be deadly, please stay on trail

Stealing from the donation bucket

bill grogans goat was doomed to die

ugly dirty pond but such a pretty waterfall!

feeding the fish

Long story with this one! we went to red robbin and the waiter was hitting on both of us and it was driving us crazy, he'd be trying to flirt with one while looking at the other and so sierra made herself a "wedding ring" out of a candy wrapper she found in her purse! can anyone guess what kind of candy it was?

My personal favorite!

so these are some of my favorites, but they're not edited too much yet! i just put them up so that those people wanting to see them could.

And there you have it my week with sierra!

The adventures of being a nanny

Sierra told me the other day that i had to write this story in my blog so everyone could read it, so here it goes. Micah lately has discovered all those things that most guys find funny, but just about every girl thinks is disgusting, he now loves to burp, fart, spit and just about anything he can think of that will bug me! The story I'm supposed to tell though is the one where he decided to try and pee on one of the dogs. He was supposed to be taking a "rest" and Becky let him rest in the living room, i was in my bedroom, Becky was taking a nap in her bedroom, and i heard some suspicious noises so i went to check on Micah. When these sounds are heard (giggling, dogs barking, running, or doors slamming) I know it's time to sneak up on him and try and catch him in the act of whatever trouble he's causing. So I tiptoed to my door and opened it as quietly as Icould to find him just walking out of his room with a very, very guilty grin on his face. When he saw me he said "I changed my pants because I went potty in them"

Trying not to roll my eyes I asked him "Oh great Micah where did you do this, and why?"

So he takes me to the living room and shows me one spot and says "right there, and I was trying to pee on Ophelia."

"YOU WERE WHAT? GO TO YOUR ROOM RIGHT NOW!" while I was saying this to him Iwalked across the floor which was a little wet in spots, and then I discovered that pretty much every place there was a pillow on the floor or on an couch it was hiding a wet spot, so not only were the couches and floor wet but so were a million pillows. I didn't even know where to start or what to do, thankfully at this point Becky wakes up and asked what was happening so i told her and then walked back out of my room and let her take care of things, it was my day off! Just kidding she took care of Micah and I helped clean up.

Micah was sent to his room for the rest of the day, with no dinner and he was given a spanking! Now I shouldn't be as excited about that as I am, but the kid has been needing a spanking for SO long so I was kinda glad he finally got one.

Becky and i ate Ben and Jerry's ice cream and had a nice quiet evening, only interrupted by Micah every once in a while coming out trying to get something and being told to go back to his room. One time he came out with his dramatic little act mastered and said "I really need food please so I can grow and be healthy." It was awfully cute but he got sent back to his room. Then he decided he was mad, so to punish us he came marching out of his room and said "I'm trying to break this" and showed us his pinkie finger and started bending it backwards. He was sent back to his room again and every so often we could hear him say "ow, ow, ow." Becky did end up giving him some crackers to eat because she felt a little bad for him.

So that's the story of the day, well not today it happened a few days ago. Today we went to the beach and it was lovely.

The sun is shining everyday clouds never get in the way!

The rest of that song doesn't fit my life so don't think the title means that there is some boy in my life, because there isn't! haha I just love the sunshine and am currently laying outside in the tall grass watching Micah play and updating you all on what has happened in my life of late!

So i went on a really fun trip to Idaho and Montana! I left Tuesday and stopped at Kyla's for the night which turned into 3 nights! On Wednesday i decided i was just to tired to keep driving so i stayed another day, Thursday i got 45 minutes down the road and my car (Henry) started shaking and his check engine light started blinking. Apparently his parkinson's disease is acting up again! hehe So i called the insurance company to get a tow truck and the conversation with the lady went kinda like this "so where are you currently at?" "I'm on I-95 headed north 45 minutes from Moscow" "ok so what mile are you at" "i don't know" "have you passed any signs or towns?" "no" "umm ok what's around you?" "fields, I'm in Idaho" "isn't there anything else?" "well there's a handmade vote for Marcy sign" "that doesn't really help much. Are you sure there's nothing to help identify where you are" "ya I'm sure I'm surrounded on all sides by fields although i did pass about 4 houses kinda close together a few minutes ago so that may have been a town..." 2 hours later i had a tow truck! Apparently the poor lady lives in Florida and had never been to Idaho so she thought i was crazy! So i stayed at Kyla's until Friday afternoon when i headed out to Montana with a newly fixed car! Kyla's was amazingly fun...we did all kinds of random stuff, went to the coffee shop, played games, took pictures, and went shopping! Montana was amazing as well Kirstyn and i shopped a lot, babysat, ate cake and brownies, and went up to the mountains and had a fire and roasted hot dogs! Shawna i got to see once or twice and we even managed to sneak in a really yummy fun breakfast the day i left! On the way home i stopped in Idaho again and stayed with Rach for a night! twas lots of fun! so that pretty much what's been happening the last little while! 3 days till Cali and mt ranch!

Micah story for the day! on the way to meeting he told me he wanted to eat at meeting and i told him there was no food there and he looked at me kinda funny and said "ya there is there is bread and I'm hungry and i want some" hehe that was interesting to explain to him!

I am blogging....

The title says it all...sorry i've forgotten and been too "busy" to blog the last few weeks/months. Have you all given up on me ever blogging again yet? well if you did i proved you wrong. :)
So i got a beautiful new camera and i'm not telling what kind it is because according to chantal "no one knows what all that stuff really is and they don't want to know just say it's a sweet camera." So here's what i have to say " it's a pretty sweet camera....and it's a canon, with 10 mega pixels, 20x optical zoom, and a million other amazing settings and it's my new favorite thing ever, and i love it! :)

Ok that being said i've had some lovely weekends/weeks in oregon and i love it there. I have amazing friends by the way that are so fun to hang out with! Rook is still my favorite game it's amazingly fun! ummm Oh the second most exciting news...ya I'M GOING TO MONTANA for a week!!!!!! i'm a little excited if you haven't figured that one out yet!

So i think i'll post some pictures from the adventures from the last little while so here that goes...probably in a seperate post we'll see...
