Costumes
We went out and got the kids their Halloween costumes. I love that Walmart has them so cheap. We do a lot of Walmart shopping for the price factor alone. I can give you a sneak peek at their costumes.

I'm Back!!!
This has been a very busy summer for us. Over the course of the summer we have begun to purchase our first home.
Keep in mind this is a before picture. I took this when we were first looking at the house. Lots of improvements have been made since. I just haven't had time to document the progress.
We have also had 3 birthdays. J turned 6 in July.
Big E also had a birthday in August. He turned 14!!! He is growing up too fast right before my eyes. He has joined the football team at school this year and is doing wonderfully. I don't know all of the football positions, but I do know he is always starting.
Little E has also had his 7th birthday in October. The time is going by so fast.
Well that is all for now. I will be back again more regularly. I promise.

My baby's back
My (almost) 14 year old baby is home from his Dad's house for a week. A week does not seem very long until you don't see one of your children for that long. I am so glad he is home. Welcome Home Big E!!!!

A Quick Post
Tonight I heard the cutest, sweetest thing come out of little E's mouth. J was in one of her dress up dresses (Belle) and was dancing around the living room by herself and little E came up to her and said
"May I have this dance?"
I wanted to cry. It was the most adorable thing I have ever heard! They then proceeded to dance around the living room ballroom style for about 5 minutes. Just until they caught us watching and then they wanted nothing to do with it anymore. I wish I had my camera. It has mysteriously disappeared in the move. This is definitely one for the memory books.

Almost up and running
We are almost up and running again. We have moved and are in the process of buying our first home. I am without a computer for now, so I cannot upload any pictures right now. I will be back with more updates as soon as I can. Thank for bearing with me as we go through some major changes.

Summer Vacation 2009
On Friday we headed out on our summer vacation. The plan was to head up to Gig Harbor Wa on Friday and stay with my friend Karen and her 2 girls, Season & Serena. Then on Saturday We were to head into Seattle and take the kids to the zoo and then go to Pike Place Market. Then on Sunday we were going to Kapowsin Lake to stay at Karen's friend's lake house. On Monday we were to go to Leavenworth and shop all day.
On Friday we got up early and headed out of town. Our first official stop was Snoqualamie Falls.
It is beautiful! We packed a picnic lunch and headed up to the falls. They were gorgeous!
We learned that the falls are over 100 feet taller than Niagra Falls.
I couldn't resist a family picture.
We then headed down to the picnic area and had lunch.
After lunch we were off to Gig Harbor. We left the house at 7:00am and didn't get to Gig Harbor until 2:30 in the afternoon. When we did finally get here I was able to see my friend Karen and her girls who I haven't seen in months. The kids decided they were going to have dinner outside.
Then on Saturday we got up early and went to the zoo.
J was so excited to see a giraffe.
Little E was excited to see a tiger.
Big E wanted to see a bald Eagle.
They all wanted to see the lions, but they were sleeping.
So they got the next best thing.
One of the best things was that we were able to see our niece Kalah. We were able to meet and fall in love with her daughter, Natalie.
After our 7 hour visit to the zoo. We headed down to Graham to the lake house on Lake Kapowchie.
We wanted to be there so we could wake up there and not have to leave all day. Sunday was also Ben's birthday. He was in heaven. His ideal day is hanging out by the water with a fire drinking a beer. He had a great day.
The kids could not wait to get in the water. They stayed in the water all day. There was a row boat and a peddle boat for us to use. Big E was so excited. He would take the kids all over the lake in both boats.
We then sat by the water and fire and had roasted marshmallows.
On Monday we were on our way to Leavenworth. It was a very long drive. Thankfully the kids passed out in the car.
We got to Leavenworth just in time for lunch.
There were some really cool buildings and a bus/trolley.
That was our vacation in a nutshell. We had the best time. I am already planning next years vacation.

Kindergarten ending
Little E & J are graduating from Kindergarten this week. I am so sad. Time is flying by and I am having a hard time keeping up with it. Last week they had their end of year performance at school. They were adorable.
J is in the morning class and Little E is in the afternoon class. Pop Pop (my Dad), Amy (my long time friend and their babysitter), her daughter Lexi and our family were their to support and watch them. They were so happy. Here are a few pictures to share.
