Washington County Fair

A friend of Mikael's said she wanted to take the kids and me to the fair. Which I thought was a great idea because with Mikael working non stop lately I wouldn't have to take them by myself! So Saturday we headed to the County Fair for rides, animals and lots of fair food!!


Mikaila LOVES to ride the Carousel and it was the first thing she did when we got there


This little man is a people watcher he was totally content just hanging out in the stroller watching everyone else


We also took Mikael's niece Courtney with us so she rode on the roller coaster with Mikaila and it's a good thing she did. It scared her she held on to Courtney for dear life!


Afterwords she rode the Alligator ride this was more her speed!


Then we went over to check out the farm animals this goat got upclose and personal with Isaak. He was so excited to have the goat right at his eye level.


By the end of our 4 1/2 hours at the fair Isaak was tuckered out!! He passed out on the way to the car

Somewhere between all the fun we ate corndogs and elephant ears and snocones and icecream!! We had so much FUN a the fair. It has been years since I have gone to a fair and I can't wait to take them to the State Fair next month!

Heat Wave!!

We have been roasting, baking and melting in our home and no food has even been prepared. It's just us sweating out of every pore! Yes it has been that HOT!! Triple digits the last three days and with no air conditioner this must be what hell is like. I know I don't want to go. Because of the heat I had Isaak and Mikaila sleep over at Nana and Papas house for 3 nights that was the first time ever that I have been away from my kids at night and under different circumstances it might have been really nice but I was too grouchy and hot to enjoy it. Wed. night Mikael invested in a window unit and thankfully it worked. For two days now the house is finally bearable. I can sit on the couch and not start sweating just sitting there. Finally RELIEF!! AAAHHHHHHH! That's all I can say...

4th of July weekend

We started off the weekend at Hagg Lake with friends Tony and Lori. I am a water girl I LOVE it!! I go camping, wave running, boating every year in Utah but this was the first time Mikael and I have done it together and the first time I have been in Oregon. It was a lot of FUN to show him my skills...



Mikaila gets her love of the water from me that is for sure! She couldnt wait to get in there!! Mikael went with her it was her first time out there and all but she kept pushing him away telling him to GET OFF! I want to do it MYSELF!!



Then Saturday we took the kids to the Cedar Hills Parade which was ok for Mikaila's first parade but there has to be a better one out there to go to next year. She did get plenty of candy so we didnt care. Then that night we had a BBQ with the family. Mikael's sister and brother both came to town with their families so we had a great time!! We did fireworks in the street but next year I think we'll go somewhere to watch them.
Sorry I have no other pictures I forgot my camera all weekend. I only have pictures of boating thanks to Tony and Lori.
Hope everyone had a Happy 4th of July!!

Happy Birthday...Happy Fathers Day!!

The month of June belongs to Mikael in our house with his Birthday being on the 12th and Father's Day it all seems to be about HIM! As it should be! First of all I have to say he is an AMAZING husband a FABULOUS Dad and the most generous, caring man I've ever met.
We celebrated his birthday this year with a BBQ. I have wanted a BBQ'r for awhile now and I figured if I threw him a BBQ Birthday then I'd have to buy the BBq'r and it worked like a charm...



Then the next weekend was Fathers Day! Mikaila and me made Mikael breakfast in bed...pancakes her favorite with juice and fruit. Then he opened his presents Mikaila painted him several masterpieces and he got some clothes and a cute picture frame with the above picture inside. Then later we had a BBQ steaks and potatoes and Brownies of course for these two men and the cutest baby ever
!



Also I called this man


My Daddy!

To all the special men in my life I LOVE you all!!

New Addition and What was I thinking?...

There is a new addition in the Luman household and his name is Elliot. Our friends Cat had kittens and they offered one to us. I fell in love with this little guy and so did Mikaila. I just had to have him. He is the sweetest little kitty he loves to cuddle on my lap and lay behind my neck and rest his head on my shoulder. He is very playful and Chloe and him will play and run around the house for hours. It is hilarious!

On another note...what was I thinking? I was bored last weekend and thought it would be a good idea to change my hair color. You know just make my already red hair a little tiny bit brighter. Unfortunately that is not what happened. I changed it alright! To bright clown ORANGE!! Hideous! Mikael just laughed at me and said well now its definitely brighter!



I can't believe I'm even posting this picture but you wouldn't fully understand how horrible it was unless I did!

Thankfully my friend Manian from work does hair and was a life saver! She fixed my mistake. Now I love my hair color, I wasnt planning on going dark for summer but I have to admit I LOVE IT!!

My froggies!

I have this picture of Mikaila hung up in the kids frog bathroom and it is so cute! I decided I should take one of Isaak and I have to admit it's just as cute. But sadly the towel isnt as bright green as it used to be. Mikaila is about the same age as Isaak is now and its fun to see the similarites and differences in their apprearance. They have the same mouth and eyebrows but different noses and eyes and shaped faces hers is much more round. Mikaila loves Isaak so much and its so sweet to see her care for him and take care of him. I just hope it stays that way! Yeah Right!

6 months already

I realize it has been over a month since I blogged last which that is just unacceptable! Mikaila is totally potty trained now and she tells me all the time how BIG she is. It took some bribing a tea set and ChuckE Cheese but it paid off! She loves wearing her panties and picking out which ones to wear each day. She is growing up too fast!!
Isaak had his 6 month check up and is now 17.6 pounds and off the charts in height. He is going to be tall. He is now on solids and not spitting up as much but still it never fails just when I'm dressed in something I don't want spit up on sure enough it gets all over me.
We went to Utah then end of April to beginning of May and had a great time. My brother Wade had his first baby a boy named Ryder. My mom flew in from South Carolina and I got to show off Isaak my brothers hadnt seen him yet. Everyone couldnt believe how happy he was and how well Mikaila could talk. We were sad to leave.
