Trigger Man and LIFE

Soooooo, we have a new addition to our little Bigelow family, (no I didn't have a baby). He's furry, cute, lovie and Sophie's second brother! His name is Trigger. He is the second litter of pups. RC, Chris's older brother, and Nicole (his wife) have 2 kids and 2 large dogs annndd they both work. Sadly, they had to give up Trigger. So now Sophie has a play mate! Her and Trigger get along REALLY good. They play ALL day long. Although she can be quite the brat sometimes, they are buds. He doesn't go pee unless she does, he follows her around, he plays with her toys....and on and on. I wanted to post pictures up when I got him all shaved up but this are the ones I took when we first got him. We have had him now for over a month. He a huge sweetie. He loves attention, always wanting to please and most of all snuggles :)

The last two pictures are of the both of them drinking out of Synnove and Soren swimming 'cool' and playing tug-o-war with their duck! These are my children. They are cute, furry and cuddly!

LIFE UPDATE!

Now that we have the both of them we are desperatly in need of buying a new house with a fence. WE FOUND ONE! BUT we haven't heard anything more. We put an offer on the house August 31 and still haven't heard. The situation is kind of messy. The house actually isn't on the market, there is a divorce, bankrupcty and the house is in the process of going into forclosure. IT'S A MESS. So we are hoping to buy it before it goes to auction, obviously. I would post up pictures, but I don't want to jinx myself (I know silly). But I'm trying not to get my hopes up. The home is absolutely perfect. It fits our needs completely. But we are in the waiting period... AND IT SUCKS! So please pray for God's Will!

New hair!

Since I was about 16 years old I have had LONG hair. Here are a couple pictures of my hair before (through the years).
"Don't mind the weird photo"

I am standing on the left, in white. Notice how long my hair is!! This picture was taken, I think 2 years ago.

You can't really see it but my pony tail is LONG!

NEW HAIR!!!!

I love my new hair. In this picture I haven't styled it, you can't see all my cool razor layers :)

But I HAVE NO MORE HEADACHES! :)

Synnove and Soren

My niece and nephew. I would have to say they are the most adorable children you will ever meet. They are not only beautiful toe heads but extremely SMART and have the funniest personalities. Synnove is identical to her mother, tell it like it is and not afraid to. Soren has the heart of gold that melts in your arms every time he tells you he loves you. They both are very smart and learn very quickly. I am so happy they live in clatsop county now :)

Here are some pictures of them...

Synnove was a flower girl in my wedding. I think Soren felt left out since he wasn't in the wedding

So these are my little chickens. Everytime I call them Auntie Weesie's chickens Synnove says, "Weesie, we're not chickens". I love these chickies.

Josh Gracin

Saturday May 30 Josh Gracin performed at the Liberty Theatre in Astoria. Kent Easom and Lj Gunderson, who are good friends and colleagues of ours invited us to go. They informed us that they were sponsers and had VIP passes! Which meant we were able to meet HIM!! Now a little history, Josh Gracin was an American Idol and he is also a Marine! This guy can sing like you can't believe. Most artists that perform on stage usually sound nothing like their albums. Not Josh, he's identical. Pure talent. It was wonderful. Kent and Lj took us to dinner and we enjoyed ourselves to the fullest. It was a wonderful evening!

Memorial Weekend

Memorial Weekend

Camping this year was an absolute blast. Nicole and I were ATV buddies and we had the greatest time. All the pictures and video's her and I took on our trips are on her blog. Ourlifeinthesticks.blogspot.com. But here are a few I was able to take. We had 8 travel trailers out there and 1 tent! HUGE crowd and a wonderful vacation from work!

Uncle Don bought some pink flamingos and Gnomes for Darryl and Jodie's trailer!



Good thing my husband doesn't read our blog. He wouldn't like this pic :)

Kvichak Marine Industries

Above is a boat being built in Kvichak

Seattle, WA
Is where Kvichak Marine is located. This is where both the Columbia and Chinook are built. David Fasteband, Chris's boss, invited us last month to visit him and Kvichak. The Columbia was in the dry dock for warrenty work and maintenance. We were able to meet one of the owners of Kvichak and some of the workers there. Here are a few photos of Kvichak and some others.

This picture is inside the warehouse!! (The background is of the pilot boat Columbia!)

CAMPING!

Every Memorial, 4th and Labor Day weekend our family gets together and goes camping. Not just lame RV camping with man made spaces, fire pits and such. But back woods camping. My parents own 12+ acres just on the out skirts of Naselle. Beautiful, beautiful country. The property used to have a homestead and land (obviously). So there is an area for tents and the trailers circle around. The rest of the land is used for 4 wheeling or motorcylces! It is an absolute blast. This year is the first year Chris and I are going as a married couple!! OOOOOOOOOO!! So we can sleep together :) ANYWAYS, we are taking our tent and motorcycles! We are juiced! I'll post some pictures up, but here's a couple from previous years! :) Yes our family is very red neck!
