18 days...

Until Dorian is 5!! Oh my gosh, how has time gone by so fast?!?!

Earthquake?!

We did not feel it, but a 3.3 magnitude earthquake hit our area last night just before 9pm.
We were over at mom and Buds house having a dinner/pool get together.
Full news story here.

We got something new to play with!

Can you say F-U-N?!
Ash found it 50% off so we had to pick it up. We wanted to rent one for Dorians party but this was even cheaper than renting for one day! Also, we have some more new photos HERE!

Happy 4th of July 2007!

We had a wonderful 4th of July! It has been our first year back without a huge blow out party at Mom and Buds house. But, we still had a great time. We watched the parade in Canby and then headed over to our friends house and we had a bbq over there and the kids ran around and had a blast! Check out more photos HERE!

2 cute photos I had to post!

Dorian in the pool chillin out and Dorian resting on daddys head with daddys hat.

Waking up the Dorian way...

This is what Dorian looks like on a normal morning. On the couch with his drink dad drops off for him, in his pjs and watching TV slowly waking up.

Dorians friend Charlize had her 4th bday party!

The kids had so much fun. I just had to post these funny photos of the kids beating the poor horse pinata! It was like animal abuse!
As you can see Dorian did not use the bat he found some cool boxing gloves to use.
They did finally get some candy out of it, but the poor horses head did have to be taken off in order to get the candy out.. thats one tuff horse!

Father's Day 2007!

We had a great fathers day! We went over to mom and Buds house and had a bbq and the weather was nice. The kids got to play with each other..in a box! Also a photo of Bud with Shelby, Dorian and Meagan. When we got home the boys hopped into bed and relaxed and watched some TV and I snapped a photo of the 2 together.. too sweet!

Best daddy in the world...REALLY.. he is the best!

Its fathers day! We are having a really nice relaxing morning and just hanging out at home and the boys are playing the game Dorian got Ashar for the playstation, it is Harry Potter! Here is a video (turn on your speakers) I made for Ashar for fathers day. The start is the past fathers days 2002-2006 and then it is photos of the last year. We hope you have a wonderful fathers day!

Portland Children's Museum

Today we headed out to Portland to the Children's Museum. We had a good time.
Dorian really enjoyed the grocery store and loved ringing everything up. It was really funny as he liked wearing a knight mask, but he saw this other boy walking around with a black one and Dorian stalked him for about 10 mins hoping that lil boy would be done and put it down. It was quite funny to watch! Here are more photos, just click here!

Fun in the sun!

We had a few nice days here in Oregon finally and we got a pool and we have had so much fun! Here are some photos, click here. Everything has been going great.
Not much new going on, we only have 1 week left of watching the girl we watch after school and then we only will be watching Kaitlyn 2 days a week so we will have alot of extra time to do what we want.

Shhhhh..

Dorian and Ashar fell asleep watching a movie the other night and thet just looked so cute together. Ahhh, I love them so much!

Being a kid, what a wonderful part of life.

Here are some great photos of why being a kid is fun. Just click here.

Mothers day was yesterday and I had such a wonderful day.
I woke up to a balloon, card and this wonderful video of my son.
We then were picked up by mom and Bud and headed off to the beach, and the whole day was just lovely. We had such a great time and the weather was just perfect.
Being a mum is the best thing I have ever done, and I feel so lucky to have Dorian as my son.

1 more day and its May! Wow, this year is already going by so fast. We are so ready for spring & summer here! We have had some nice weather this past week and it has been so nice to sit outside and run around with Dorian exploring the outdoors. Dorian and Ash have loved playing video games together, as you can see Ash is working hard in the photo trying to win and Dorian is in the back being cheeky after he saw me with my camera! I will be posting some other photos soon of us at the farm and then also Ash with Dorian at OMSI.

Hip, Hop, Happy Easter!
We had such a wonderful Easter. Dorian had such a good time looking for the eggs and enjoying the yummy candies and neat little toys the bunny left behind for him. We had lots of photos so I loaded them up on flikr so click here to see all the fun we had!

You can see the local forecast is lookin good!
The sun is out today! The waiting is over, spring is really here!
We are so excited to be able to go outside without coats, umbrellas and all that not so fun stuff.
Its time for walking, parks, beach trips and just sitting outside on the swing and enjoying the weather with a nice cold soda. Here are some pictures I took to show that it really is spring here in rainy old Oregon!

Everything has been going excellent. I had a wonderful birthday! Getting old.. 24 year I have been on the earth, almost half way to my 30's...uhh oh! heheh! We are having a easter get together at my parents house with some family. Should be lots of fun, will be posting pictures of course on Sunday night or Monday to show how much loot Dorian gets.

Look what we did on Sunday at Grandma and Grandpas house!
Dorian loved it! As you can see he gets lazy and just takes a nap on the bar of the bike.

Ash took Chase (the little boy we watch) and Dorian to the zoo on Friday.
They had fun! Ash said they ran around so much they fell asleep in the car on the way back, and that is NOT normal for Dorian! He rarely will fall asleep in the car. On Friday the weather went back to normal Oregon weather, overcast and drizzle..darn it!
