And the Murderer Is....

We went to a Murder Mystery Dinner Last night. It was really fun we all dressed up and had to solve the murder of Hal Cappone.

Scoop and S. Traten Harrow (a.k.a. Stephanie and Jake)


Billy "The Kid" and Silky(a.k.a. Dave and Lisa)

Molly and Ernie( a.k.a Kari and Bryce)

Eddie "socks" R.Gyle and Torchy (a.k.a. Chris and Andrea)
Chris played the role of a golfer and Night club owner and I was in the role of the singer in his club.
It was great fun to have dinner and solve the murder. I have never don one before and always thought it would be fun. So a great big THANK YOU to Stephanie and Jake for putting this all on.

Monkey noises and Elephant sounds

instead of teaching him what a dog or cat or cow says we went for the rare

Monkey's and Elephants

I just think this is cute

He loves to climb in to his dump truck and then be dumped out

CHA CHING

Yes that is 16 boxes of fruit snacks!!! they are normally $2.99 a box I got ALL 16 for $1.70!!!!! yahOOOOOOO! yes thats right I got all 16 for LESS than ONE box!!! if I would have bought 16 boxes at regular price it would have cost $47.84. that is an 81% savings!!!!

I have been trying to get into the coupon game for a few weeks and this is my first "big" purchase!!! Thanks to heather for walking me through how to do it! I loved the look on the cashiers face when my total for one purchase was 50 cents for 4 boxes. he had to read the checkout to make sure he did it right and the lady in line behind me asked me if she was seeing thing right It made me feel so good !!!!

YAHOOOO!!!!

After a week with no car This is what Chris does for me!!!


He bought me a BRAND NEW CAR!!!
its an 09 Kia Sorento.

I love it . I have been wanting somekind of small/mid Suv forever so this is perfect!!!

Cooper loves it also, when we were driving home from the dealership he kept pointing out the window saying "this, this this" he wanted to know what everything was.

Thanks again Chris I love you!!!

Childrens Museum

Cooper and I were able to go to the Children's Museum last Wednesday. I was only able to take a few pictures because he was ALL OVER THE PLACE.

He loved the water room. He kept trying to climb into this little pool. its only a flat hand deep but he got his sleeves and the bottom of his pants soaked. He was smiling and laughing the whole time

The exhibit this month is "Clifford the Big Red Dog" Cooper loved it. He was so excited to drive/ this is the ferry, He was so excited that they had a car also that he bullied his was into it. there was a little girl that was sitting in it and cooper just walked right up and tried to push the mom out of the way while saying "car car" over and over. luckily the other mom thought it was cute and let Cooper have a turn. he was in heaven

Cooper is already practicing to follow in his dad's footsteps!


By the time we were done we were both tired. We had lots of fun is you live in or visit the Portland area its a great place to visit, its in the same parking lot as the Zoo.

When we got home I gave Cooper the treat of Mac'n'Cheese for lunch. so i loaded his tray and then went to the computer. I turned around to check on him since he was being so quiet and this is what i saw....





I didn't realize that he was so tired. He wore himself out with all that fun.
