Portland Trail Blazer's Fan

I've been taking so many last minute pictures for Father's Day this week and thought of the cutest picture!!! After I got off work this afternoon I got the exact shot I was hoping for!!! Jes has been hinting that he has a desk at work now, so I think this will be perfect... especially since he works right down the road from where the Portland Trail Blazer's play!!!



Happy Father's Day to all you Daddy's... especially my own!!! He is such a great guy!! Always full of love and support. I don't know what I would do without my dad. Keep up the good work dad!

What a beautiful morning!

I'm sitting here past 8:30am almost completely ready for work, which I don't have to leave for a little over an hour and I've already eaten breakfast, cleaned up the house and did the dishes and Jackson's still asleep!! I'm loving it!! This way when he wakes up I'll be able to spend some QUALITY time with him before dropping him off at the babysitters. Luckily Jes gets off at 2 today so he'll only be there from 10-2:30ish. Too bad I don't get off until 4. That's the hottest time of the day though and I re-filled his pool last night, so maybe we'll BBQ when I get home. I'll end with sharing some photos of the past couple of days. BTW.. no more mice!!! =) I'm happy too!! haha!

So tired in WinCo... getting ready for a BBQ.

Slam dunk!!

Busy Busy Busy!!!

It rained for the first time yesterday in a week or more, so I decked Jackson out in his fire rainboots, raincoat and flashing firetruck shirt and pants.

We have been so busy lately!!! When I say we I guess I really mainly mean Jes! He is such a hard worker!!! Yet, he still finds time to spend with Jackson and I and I love that!

Yesterday I was sitting here at the computer and out of the corner of my eye saw something fuzzy.. yah.. eww! I pulled the couch out and saw a little mouse run into the closet. YUCK! I called my mom squealing!! Not that she could do anything for me.. Jackson and I promply got our shoes on and ran to the grocery store attempting to kill an hour before Jes got home from work. We grabbed some mouse traps and when Jes got home he set them. We figured since I saw it by the computer desk we'd put one under it. There's a shelf and it's about 1 1/2 inches off the ground so we figured Jackson wouldn't bother it... Well, he did! Literally 2 minutes after Jes set it. We felt horrible, but it didn't get him as bad as it got the mouse otherwise he'd probably have a broken thumb! Poor guy! So we went to bed about 10:30 and right as I was dozing off I heard SNAP!! I got so excited and Jes was like, wanna go with me!? I know it's sick, but I wanted to see it. haha

The last couple of days we've been hanging out with our new found friends. I helped her at Picture People and then added her on myspace and have been talking to her. Her name is Ashley and her boyfriend Billy. They have a little girl Madison. Jackson and her get along pretty well. I'll add some pictures of them playing.

We had a yummy stir fry dinner and decided we should go for a walk since it's such a beautiful night. We went downtown vancouver by the bridge and river and walked. Jackson enjoyed it and is now just about ready for bed and it's not even 8 yet. Hope you all have a nice evening!!!

For those of you who didn't know.. we ran away Saturday morning to spend a night at the coast. Mind you, this was after Jes had just gotten home from a 12 hour clinical in an ER nearby. 7pm-7am... I don't know how he does it! He took a couple cat naps, but was essentially up from Friday morning at 5:30pm until Saturday Night at 9:30. We camped at Beverly Beach and had a great time. It wasn't exactly warm last night, but hey.. we're all still alive! Jackson loved the beach. We stopped at Tillamook Cheese Factory on the way up and the Tillamook Air Museum on the way back. We're happy to be home! Happy Mother's Day to all the Mother's out there.. especially my own!!! :)
