Multnomah Falls - Oregon


Did I ever tell you that I'm the worse tour guide ever? As much as I am always always telling my friends and family to come and visit Oregon, I seriously don't know what to do, but eat! My cousin and her husband flew up here back in April from Southern California, and when they asked what is there to do, of course I replied, "eat!" We ad mid-afternoon happy hour, late night happy hour, Seattle's Best coffee in between. Even though we did much eating, there were still some places that where left out (voodoo donuts for their maple bacon donuts, stumptown coffee, or even the salt and pepper squid dish we portlanders tend to rave about). Anyways, back to my point, I'm a bad tour guide, which would mean, I take bad pictures... But I wanted to share them with you anyway =)

We had a few hours before their departure, my cousin's genious husband decided to take a trip out to Troutdale to visit the waterfalls (if you ever came up here, you know I would never have thought to go here) anyway, it was a nice refreshing, and free tourist trap. I should take more people out here if I'm on a budget =P

This is a picture of the area were were standing at, you know with the picture of the nice couple's heads.
I was tricked into walking up the big mountain, and I was tired! So me being the genious that I am when it comes to being lazy, I started snapping pictures. Here is my cousin and her husband walking a long distance from me.
I took a picture of this mossy piece of wood so I could catch my breath.
We got pretty high up, but there was still more walking! so I snapped another picture just so I could stop and take a breath.
We went to another waterfall near by, called Horsetail Falls. My cousin decided to gallop away since galloping seemed to fit the theme.
the end! thanks for visiting!

It's a boy!

The first time I heard "cats are like potato chips, you can't have just one" I didn't believe it. I was able to live without one for the first 24 years of my life, and now, I wonder to myself, what would I do without one? or two... or three!
Our new little baby is named Moo. That was his name when we adopted him, and decided to keep it since it seemed to fit him so well. Anyway, he's the newest addition to the family, and definitely the last! I almost felt overwhelmed having two new kitties within a month, but now I feel so complete and full of love with Moo.

Welcome aboard MooMoo Kitty.... can you see his handsome chesthair?
He has a short stubby body, compared to G and B, theirs is long and skinny... well B at least.

The brothers bonded so well after 2 days!ok, so it's rude to take pictures of kitties going to the bathroom, but I couldn't help it, G was having a hiss-y fit with the new one, she wouldn't stay in the same room as him. So as soon as I caught them within a foot of each other, I just had to take a picture. P.S. don't make fun of my bathroom.
G wasn't very happy that there's another male in the home, but after one week, she finally accepted him (she really doesn't have a choice, does she!) Every once in awhile she will hiss at him, but its probably because she forgets she has another brother!

We bought this three-story cat condo when we only had G and B, and joked all the time that we needed a third head to fill the condo. Now that we have a third head, G won't stay in her hole! That's ok.... maybe in the future.
