Thanksgiving 2013

I have a few minutes this morning so figured I'd do an update.  We were out of town last weekend at a friend's cabin in Hunters, WA.  Middle of no where really, it's the 2nd time we have been up there over the past few months.  Our friend, actually he's like my Husband's brother but not has several acres of land and a little cabin he is completely redoing.  We had fun, Greg went out hunting 3 times while we were there so me and the kids just kinda hung out at the cabin with our friend's kids doing camp fire, taking small walks, watching movies, etc.  It was kinda nice to get out of town again.  I'll attach a few photos.  Other than that, not much has been happening.  We are apparently supposed to get a decision this week back from insurance on whether or not they have determined that Kyla's prosthetic is "medically necessary."  Sooo ridiculous.  I'm not sure how much more medically necessary she could be to have one, but whatever we will go along with whatever they decide and if they decide it isn't medically necessary we will just wait until January when we have an appointment at Shriners in Spokane, WA to have them help us get her what she needs.  My Husband is in the process of getting a new job, which is still under wraps but we will see.  I am hoping it will be for the best and be better for our family.  I've been doing quite a bit of photo shoots but recently have none until the end of December, which bums me out a bit because I like doing them, I am sure I'll have more people schedule but for right now that's all I have.  I'm still learning though all of the time, different ways of shooting to give me different effects.  Anyway this week is Thanksgiving and I'm cooking the meal for our family.  It'll be like 5 adults and my two kiddos, not too bad, I can pull it off, have several times before but I've always had my Sister to help cook, not this year, so it's just more stress I'd rather not deal with.  :)  I took a few hours yesterday out of the house to just be by myself.  Sometimes I just have to get away from the kids and out of the house for a bit just to stay sane.  I'm with them by myself almost the entire week except a few hours in the evenings when Greg is home so I need this time every once in a while and I don't take it near enough.  I might do it once every 2 months or so.  Anyhow hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving holiday.  Hopefully next time I post we will HAVE Kyla's prosthetic to take home.

Oceanside Oregon Trip

We are back from a vacation finally! We went to again my favorite place but this time rented a house in Oceanside, Oregon. It was amazing the view was ridiculously beautiful.  It rained a good amount of the time so we were stuck inside quite a bit but that was actually nice. Made for long quiet days. Again like I always say, I will move to Tillamook someday. The valley views there are beautiful a

nd the ocean is like 15 mins away.  Thankfully my Dad feels the same as me and is now looking to buy land and eventually build in Tillamook. Yes!!  I love the farm quiet life there.
