Pepto and Piglet

Lacey, Pepto, Piglet and Levi

Random Day

Me talking probably about something really important....ya, right!

Corey sitting on my exercise ball. The kids always liked to fight over this ball.....ha, ha. We ended up naming it......wait for it.....'The Ball'! Oh, and I see in the background it looks like Lacey took out the garbage (which was just taking it out of the garbage can and putting it on the floor).


Awwww......Lance and Corey coloring together. I bought one of those cool posters that you color. John and I use to color those things all the time. I bought it on one of my many quit smoking attempts to keep me occupied. The poster is shown in the picture of me at the top.

Pumpkin Carving

We had some pumpkins that we did't carve for Halloween (I didn't even go to the pumpkin patch for Halloween, that sucked), and one night when Levi and I were just hanging out together, he asked if we could carve them. One of them was gross, so we first walked that one to the garbage, but the other one was still in good shape. He was very excited, and he even called me "the best pumpkin carver in the world", uh, he hasn't seen many pumpkins carved I'm guessing....ha, ha.

This picture came out blurry, but he insisted I get his picture with the pumpkin outside.

All lit up!

He thought the ears were the coolest thing ever. He had never seen ears on a pumpkin before!

He was trying to bite the pumpkin for some reason.....lol.

Halloween

Jackie and Heather came to Ptown to spend Halloween with me and Lacey. They told us we HAD to dress up. It was freakin too cold outside to do much, but we dressed up anyways. Lacey just threw her outfit together, and it turned into an 80's workout costume....lol. The funniest part of the night was when we decided to go to Taco Bell for some food, and I dared Lacey to start working out inside TB. She did, and then she went outside and did some more. It was hilarious, but this guys wife didn't like it much cause her man was enjoying the 80's workout a bit too much I think!

This picture cracks me up, cause Lacey looks so weird in it.....ha, ha.

Heather is.....the Phantom.


I'm not sure if this is suppose to be the serious pose or what.

Dork!

This is my favorite one of H.

Lacey and the computer

This picture was taken when I had the computer in my bedroom. It was ok in there at first, but with the internet, everyone wanted to use it.....so I eventually moved it downstairs. Which Lacey loved because then she could stay up all night and do homework!

Ptown Adventure

I found this really cool Pagan shop in Portland, so Lacey and I planned what we have termed our 'Ptown Adventure'..........

Leaving Apartment D

We bought our Max tickets, and waited for it to arrive.

On the Max.

We caught bus 14 after the Max. When we were looking for the bus stop, we accidently took the long way to it. It was actually just right down from the Max station, but we walked all the way around.....it was hot that day too (well, hot for October)!

Lacey is pointing to the bus stop sign.

Our street destination.

After picking up some incence (which is the BEST incense I have ever used) from the cool pagan shop, we decided to eat some lunch.

Inside the restaraunt.

My lunch.

Lacey eating her lunch....ha, ha.

I just kept snapping pictures of her while she was putting her food in her leftover box, and this one is priceless!

Monkeyin around across the street.

The writing on the wall is by the poet Sylvia Plath (kinda depressing actually. For those that don't know that poet, she did end up comitting suicide):

Cobwebs touched my face with the softness of moths. Wrapping my black coat round me like my own sweet shadow, I unscrewed the bottle of pills and started taking them swiftly, between gulps of water, one by one by one. At first nothing happened, but as i approached the bottom of the bottle, red and blue lights began to flash before my eyes. The bottle slid from my fingers and i lay down. The silence drew off, baring the pebbles and shells and all the tatty wreckage of my life. Then, at the rim of vision, it gathered itself, and in one sweeping tide, rushed me to sleep.

This was an alley across the street from where we ate lunch.

Waiting for the bus that would take us back to the max station so we could go home. We were super tired and ready to be on our way.

Lance and his friends

Seattle

On the second day of my visit with Heather, we drove to Seattle and went to the market. I found some of the BEST lip balm I've ever used. We also checked out an interesting S&M shop, then after that stopped for some lunch. On the way back to their place, we sang along to Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. It was so funny, I made us sing it again, but this time secretly recorded it. If blogger wasn't so retarded, I'd post the video.

We cooridinated our wardrobe. I'm wearing my vegetarians don't eat their friends shirt, and Jackie is wearing her save a cow eat a vegetarian shirt.

Me and Heather
This picture is so cute!

Us at lunch....Heather is wearing her cool contacts!

Our last stop was Walmart, and when we came out, I took this picture of the pretty sunset.

Visiting H and Jackie

I went and visited Heather and Jackie while I lived in Portland. This was my first visit to see them. I ended up calling it (yes, I name a lot of stuff, I know, I know) my Oasis, because they really helped me a lot when I was really lost.

On my way up to see them. I do not look happy.....lol.

Pretty!!

I loved the view from where I was standing!

Birds!

We took a little walk through the woods after coming up from the beach.

There was even a rope to help you up the hill.

Wow!

I used my zoom on my camera for this shot, these mushrooms were way, way up there on this tree!

More leafy fun!

So there were raccoons EVERYWHERE. They even chased the car down, no joke!

Heather the brave soldier.

More climbing.

Jackie climbed down a hole.

This spider lived on their back porch.
