Updates on the fun of our lives!

Sorry to all for the lack of an update for a while....bad me! *smacks hand* 
Let's see here, not much has really been going on till the last couple weeks I guess, Jeremy has been working lots (poor guy).  we've have been making a point to try and take Rogue out for walks or take her to a local waterpark (badger mtn sports park for all those that are local)  I LOVE that place and of course Rogue does too.  It has a playground with lots of slides that Rogue just adores and then of course there is the waterpark that is just right for my little water baby.  it doesn't have a pool but there are lots of sports themed sprinklers with a couple small water slides. It is a perfect area for not only her to get some physical activity but also some socialization.  It also has a dog park, which we used when my parents came over one weekend and we took their dog tigra with us.
Jeremy and I got to have some adult time last weekend.  We dropped Rogue off with my parents and went for a Motorcycle ride to Joseph, OR.  It was a nice and very relaxing day for the both of us.  Though I will have to say... You know when you are a parent to a toddler when you are riding on the back of your husband's bike and you see a cow and mentally you start saying "There's a cow, cow's go Moooo."  Yeah....I needed that getaway. LOL.  We also rode around Wallowa Lake, we were about ready to leave when laying right in front of a parked truck was a buck, happily relaxing and ignoring all the humans gawking at it.  Of course we had to stop so Jeremy could take a couple of pictures of it (from a far of course since it is STILL a wild animal). Here is some of the pictures.


 All in all it was a great trip!

Rogue is now in the copying stage...she wants to be a big girl SOOOO bad and just Loves and I mean LOVES to do anything Daddy does (she is a daddy's girl of course!)
Recently we baked some oatmeal raisin cookies and Jeremy's favorite way to eat them is to dip them in milk well...it was aparantly time for Rogue to learn to do that too!



I think she had more fun dipping the cookies and sucking the milk off than actually eating the cookie itself!
She also likes to help daddy wash his motorcycle. we had to get pictures of this as evidence for when she's older and refuses to wash the car when we ask:





Obviously she also had a lot of fun washing the floor too...hmmmm wonder if I can get her to mop the floor in the kitchen?? 
Talking wise she has started to mimic words and sounds.  This last weekend Jeremy's sister Carment and hubby Gary came over for the night and Rogue's new thing is to hand you her coloring pencils and then take them back one at a time.  well when she was doing it with Gary he noticed she was saying "ank ou" at the end!!! YAY big mommy hugs!!! Just last night she was mimicking the letters a, b, c, and d when I was reading her an alphabet book and then the word "cat." soon I am going to have a little talker!!!
We also may be moving to Richland here in the next month, we applied for a duplex which is bigger than this apartment, has a back yard, closer to Jeremy's work and it cheaper in rent. Let's hope we get it!  We are also looking to rent out or house in Houston so that will be a blessing too.
Well that's enough for now, hope all is well with everyone else!
Take care and have a great rest of the summer!!
