Isn't she cute!!!

I just found this picture as I was looking for organization ideas and I fell in love! I wish I had a room in my house to have such an area! It would be my dream to have a room all to myself where i could make a mess without having to clean it up if i am not done yet! One day I will hopefully get such a thing but for now I guess the kitchen table is fine!

Hannah can fetch!

This is such a random post, but I thought i would let you all see that Hannah's new favorite game is to play fetch!! The video is pretty bad, but oh well!! it was with my phone. That is my excuse!

Lots of new...keep going down!

Wow I have a lot to update. Sorry it is such a large post, but bear with me! This is what we have been up to this summer. I hope you enjoy!

#1 Here are pictures of our new apartment finally!

pay no attention to our lovely curtains pinned to the wall, oh wait those are blankets!oh well!

We love our new place! We have twice the amount of room from our last apartment! We have a dishwasher, washer and dryer and air conditioning!!

#2 We were able to go to springfield about 2 weeks ago. We had lots of fun seeing lots of family and my 2 best friends!!

Here is Hannah with her cousins on the Blevins side

We had the chance to go and play with Andrea, Sarah, Lindsay and their kids. It was so fun to see them all together!

Here is Hannah playing with her cousin Cooper. She just loves Cooper and would follow him anywhere.

#3 There are so many beautiful parks to go to around Bend. Here we are at Smith Rock in Redmond. It was so beautiful.

#4 Here we are at Tumalo falls! It was really a pretty area although we were attacked by mosquitos!

#5 Here are just a few random pictures of Hannah.

Hannah loves to wear our shoes. She is always trying to put them on and walk around.

Hannah let me paint her fingernails and toes which i never thought would happen. But it was fun and she liked it!

#6 Heather, Jeff and the girls came to visit last week. We had a lot of fun! Here are pictures from when we went to The High Desert Museum.

There were chipmunks everywhere. This little guy came right up to us, begging for food, I probably could have picked him up.

#7 A few more random of Hannah.

yeah we finally have her hair in pigtails!!

...and hair after pigtails came out!! Scary!

#8 So I am proud of this one. I have really been wanting to get my food storage going. It has been gnawing at me for some time. I just new some disaster would strike and I wouldn't be prepared. So I finally made a list and went shopping. I am far from done, but my goal right now is to have at least 1 month to start and then i will work up from there. It was fun buying all the food and thinking of how I could use it all. I made sure to buy foods that I knew I could use and that we would eat without gaging! So here is my start to feeling prepared!

Dresses and Dinner

I made my first baby dress this week! I was excited that you can tell what it is and it actually looks cute. I made a large because, according to the pattern, a large was Hannah's measurements. I just finished this morning so I hadn't tried it on Hannah yet, but I wanted her to wear it to church. HA! The dress will fit her until she is at least 2 years old. It is long and a little big, so I pinned the sides so it wouldn't look like a tent. I am glad it will fit her for a while though!

We had to run out the door so I didn't get a better picture of Hannah, but I will get a good one soon!

Tonight I also decided to make Beef Bourguigon, Julia Child's Beef Bourguingon!! It was fun, but a lot of work. I literally slaved all day to make it! There are lots of steps and it is time consuming, but worth it! It was really good. The picture looks crazy, but make it bigger and it looks delicious!

Our little Angel

I wish I could have filmed the last 5 minutes of our lives! It would have been a perfect memory because it was one of those moments that you just had to be there. So I will attempt to tell you....Chris, Hannah and I went to a few stores tonight, then tried a new restaurant and then came home. All was well until Hannah realized we were walking in the front door. I got her inside, but Chris was still outside so she tried to go back out the door. I grabbed her hand to keep her in, so in response Hannah started yelling, screaming and stomping her feet. It was one of her best little shows. I picked her up set her on our desk to take her shoes off / time out. I stood there and let her scream for a bit. She stopped after a minute, so I say "Hannah are you done?" She replies (in baby voice) "yyaa". So I said "What did you do wrong?" and she said the cutest little sentence " gooobado godobaba boba"( something like that). It was just perfect. She actually answered me. She gave me a hug and was done! Well now it is bedtime so I better go, but I just wanted to share. Pictures to come.
