Christmas at Mt. Hoodoo

Early this Christmas morning we got up around 7am and got ready for out trip to the Mountain! We drove up to Mt. Hoodoo to go snow tubing!! We arrived around 10am and did about 5 runs. By then it was about 11:30 so we walked over to the Lodge to have lunch. Oh my goodness, two hamburgers, 2 waters, one onion rings and one chili fries cost $26!!! Crazy!! Anyway, we walked back over and ended up doing 4 more runs. It was 2:00 before we knew it. When we arrived that morning the sun was shining and it was gorgeous, we could see all of the surrounding mountains and the ski area as well. By 1:30 the snow had started and became very heavy. The sky got really gray and well we thought it was time to go before we got stuck driving in worse condition than they already were. On the way up there, right before you start on the pass, they require that you have traction tires or chains, so we had chains. You should have seen us putting them on. Ha Ha! I am so glad we left when we did, the pass is under a Severe Winter Storm Warning!! But we had a Blast!!! Can't wait to go again!
What did you do for your Christmas day?

Thankgiving 2007 in Vancouver, WA

Thursday morning we drove up to Vancouver, WA to spend Thanksgiving with Paul and Amy and her family. The traffic was so crazy, we left at 11am and arrived around 2pm!! This should only be a two hour drive. When we finally got there, we drove over to Amy's Mom's house and watched Mom, Amy and Paul finish their game of Scrabble. Then we loaded up food and drove over to Amy's Aunt and Uncles home. The food was wonderful!! After dessert though, they have this tradition were the host hands out glasses that have one of the twelve days of Christmas on it. And yes, then you have to sing your part when it comes to your day on your glass. Chris and I got The First Day of Christmas, so yes we had to sing 12 times!! LOL. By the end Chris had everyone laughing from his trying at an Opera type sound. We had a really great time. They asked us to come for Christmas so I think we might, (as long as we don't have to sing) LOL Hope you all out there had a FABULOUS Thanksgiving too!!

Chris and the Hospital!!

On Friday morning around 1am, Chris got up and was hurting really bad on his right side. He was so sick and in so much pain. So around 3am he decided he wanted to go to the ER. They immediately took him in. They shot him up with pain meds and took X-rays and other test. Come to find out, hours later around 7am, he had a kidney stone that was not going to pass. At that time he was admitted into the hospital.
So I went home to take the girls out and take a shower and all that stuff, when Chris called to tell me they were going to do laser surgery to break up the stone and put a stint in between his kidney and bladder, at 5pm. So I headed back up there and stayed with him till surgery. He went in around 5:45 and came back to the room at 10:30. The doctor said that after surgery, Chris had larnyx spasms, I don't remember what they actually call it. So all night he was in so much pain and they had him hooked up this oxygen machine that showed what his levels where. The machine went off at least 7 or 8 times during the night. He had a very rough night.
The next morning around 10am the Doctor came in and wanted Chris to stay until the evening. So we did.
The stint that they put in was causing Chris so much pain, he would just double over in agony. On Tuesday, thank goodness, he had the stint removed. He was in pain for the next couple of hours. But thankfully he is doing much better now. He has felt so much better in the last two days that he even went out and put his new radiator in his truck! LOL Thank you for all of your prayers. We love you all!!

Bella's new sister, Macey.

On May 7th, we adopted a female Boxer named Macey. Bella and get along GREAT! They look so much alike it is a little difficult to tell the difference. The tail is what gives it away. LOL

Memorial Day weekend!!

Okay, so after that trip, in late April we moved to Eugene, OR. I was promoted to a multi-property as the Property Manager. They are beautiful properties, and both of them were built withing the last 2-5 years. Some of our friends came down to stay the weekend with us for Memorial Day. They are from Corvallis, their names are Amy and Paul. While they were here we celebrated Amy's birthday. Check out the pics. Oh yea, there are few pics of my birthday from April as well!!

Camping trip to Gold Beach, OR

We went to Gold Beach, OR in March. Here are some of those pics.

Christmas in Corvallis, Or

Then my Mother, Brother and his girlfriend flew up for Christmas, my brother and his girlfriend, Amanda, Chris and I all went snow tubing which is about an hour away from here.

Update

Okay, so we moved from Spokane, WA to Corvallis, OR-GO BEAVERS!! OSU. Yea, I was offered a job with the company I worked for in Spokane. I took over a 160 unit complex, it was very nice. Corvallis was a great little town, it reminded us of Magnolia, AR. So we moved to Corvallis in September of 2006. While we were there, we drove to the coast a few times and went crabbing! IT WAS A BLAST! Take a look at the pics:

Here we go!


So here we go! We thought that the whole blog thing would be a great way to let everyone know how we are doing and things that are going on in our lives. We loved Russ and Robbie's page so here is ours. Since we have moved and live clear across country, this is a great way to stay in contact with everyone.
We will post pics up a little later on. But for now here is a pic of us at the Rockstar Supernova concert in Portland, OR. 2/16/2007
