Nature Lovers

So this weekend the weather decided to be about 105 on Sat. and Sunday! Lets just say houses here do not come equipped with AC and boy was it miserable. We had to escape it somehow so on Sat. we drove up the mountain and to one of the many lakes up there. It was called Todd Lake and it felt like we were millions of miles away from home when really, it was more like 20 miles. The lake sat in the middle of the "forest" and it was crystal clear. You could see clear out into the middle of it. My first thought was the water was going to be freezing, after all, we were up in the mountains. In all reality, the water was perfect. It was pretty shallow to about 15 feet out and sandy so Journee was able to run around and we didnt have to worry about her. She absolutely loved it!! Its amazing how different my child is when she id out and about in the wildnerness. She is already an Oregonian! Here are some pics:
















Sometime recently my daughter decided she is able to tell us what she wants and that she wants it now. I believe I am starting to get payback right about now. She knows what color sucker she wants. If you try to hand her any other color but blue she says "no thank you, i dont like that sucker". Orrrr here favorite song right now is Alicia Keys, Noone. Every time we are by the computer she goes "Licia Keys mommy" and when the song is over and the next one plays she says "No thank, I dont like this song" She is very demanding and at times hard to handle. But at the end of the day, it is this that still makes my heart melt and all the anger and frustration go away
And no, we do not put her to bed with no clothes on....the girl just likes to be nude and pulls everything off before falling asleep. Notice the lovely big wet circle next to her. She def. doesnt make things easy! I cant believe she is almost 2 years old, wow.....we have made it 2 years!! Hard to believe.

Other than all these fun pictures there isnt much else to report on. Possiby a camping trip this weekend?????
