We are all doing great here. Jason is still working in Nespelem and we are still living in Airway Height. The offer on our house is still going through so say a prayer that we will be moving soon!

Kaiden and Cole both started school the beginning of September and love it. Kaiden is starting to read small books and thinks he is sooo cool. Cole is learning about farm animals and pumpkins so we have been making lots of pumpkin stuff around here :o) Now that the boys are in school Halle and I get some mommy daughter time two days a week so that has been nice too. She is saying lots of words and thinks she runs the house, yikes!

Here are the boys school pictures and a new one of Halle :o)

Kaiden's fifth birthday party and a few random pics :o)

It's been almost 2 months, yikes!!

Well I was so good about doing this at first and through the summer I wasn't so good! Now that the weather is getting colder again I will hopefully have more time to post! I still am having a hard time dealing with the fact that it is fall time once again. Really, it just quit snowing here less than 4 months ago. I know I am a big baby but hey I just wanted a few more weeks of summer :o)

Kaiden and Cole both started school this month and are loving it. Kaiden is in Kindergarten and Cole is in Preschool. They both have made lots of new friends and seem to enjoy going. Kaiden is really excited because next Friday they are going on a field trip to the pumpkin patch and each get to pick their own apple and pumpkin! I think I am going to be able to go with his class too so I am looking forward to that.

Halle is getting so big and is quite sassy, must be the red hair ;o) She loves her brothers and chases after them at almost a run now! She is saying a lot of new words and it a bossy little girl too :o)

We had another offer on our house and are hoping that everything works out and goes through with this one so we can move to Omak before winter. The hard part is going to be trying to find a house to rent in Omak!!

We have been staying busy with the boys in school and camping on the weekends. We have really been enjoying our time as a family :o) Here are a few pics of the boys first days of school and some from Elk Camp :o)

It's been a while!

This will be short and sweet but I wanted to add a quick update! As the weather has been nicer we are outdoors a lot more and not on the computer :o) We are all doing great and the kids are enjoying summer. Our house is still for sale with no bites, darn it! We have been in Omak quite a bit and are heading back that way this weekend for the Stampede. Jason is involved with the Suicide Race so that keeps him busy stampede weekend. The kids and I plan on hanging out at Pa and Grammy Becky's and maybe wandering around the Stampede grounds a bit. Gramma Janice is taking the boys one night to the encampment so they can visit and enjoy some time with her :o) Here are a few updated pics and everyone enjoy their weekend!

Halle is one (close enough) and Mama is old ;o)

So this past weekend was another busy and exhausting one! I had my 10 year class reunion Saturday and we had Halle's first birthday party on Sunday.

I had a blast seeing all of my old classmates and friends but let me tell ya I apparently can't handle the partying that goes along with a 10 year reunion!! I am flat wore out but it was sooo worth it!

We celebrated Halle's first birthday on Sunday a few days early at the park in Omak. A few of her cousins, gramma's, grampa's, aunt's, uncles and friends were able to make it and made the day extra special :o) We had cake and ice cream and the kids played while we all got to visit. Halle loved her cake and couldn't believe that it was actually for her and that she could just dig in. She was so careful at first just taking tiny little bites of the flowers on the cake and then finally dug in when she realized it was ok and that everyone thought it was funny! She is such a little ham. She is still trying to figure out how the walking thing works and is taking her time which is fine with me! I am already wore out chasing after the boys ;o) She also enjoyed opening her gifts and was very excited to see her new clothes, toys and baby dolls. Her word of the day was "wow"!!

We are home now and will hopefully be staying home the next few weekends!! Mom needs some time to catch up!

Exhausted!

We spent the weekend over in Omak, we had fun but are wiped out! We closed on our property on Friday so we are now the proud owners of 10 acres...now the fun part begins. Tearing out sagebrush, digging a well, septic system, fixing the road, building a house and the list goes on and on. It will be a lot of work but sooo worth it when we are all moved and settled in our new home! Saturday my Mom, Halle and I went to one of our good friends baby showers while Jason and the boys attended Jason's Mom's graduation. It was nice for me to see some old friends and catch up a bit and the boys had a blast seeing their Cousins, Aunties, Uncles and Gramma. After the graduation they went to a BBQ in the park to celebrate and got to go swimming, they were totally wore out by the end of the day! Sunday we spent Father's Day at Pa and Gramma Becky's house just realxin', it was soo nice and very much needed by all of us. We played outside all day and the kids (and daddy too) had fun in the pool. We had a yummy BBQ to celebrate Pa and Jas and just had a wonderful day. Being able to spend time with our families like this makes us even more anxious to move and be settled in Omak. We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful family and great friends :o) Next weekend we are headed back again for my 10 year class reunion, how strange does that sound??? Anyways take care and enjoy the week :o)

Supermom or not...

2008-06-10T21:33:00.000-07:00

Some days I feel like supermom and get tons accomplished and others I feel like a totally frumpy housewife! Today was the frumpy housewife day ;o) It's June and supposed to be sunny and nice out but nooo we had snow again this morning! It didn't stick around for long but it was still a little depressing. It was a little hard to be motivated today, I just wanted to lay on the couch and watch movies :o)

Our house still has not sold but we are confident that it will in the near future. It is so hard to be patient especially since we just want to be settled in Omak before fall. Oh well it will happen when the time is right.

We had a great time the other weekend at Buck and Carlee's wedding, it was fun to see family and visit with friends. We are looking forward to heading to Omak this weekend. We are meeting Mom and Rick over there and are doing some work on the road on our property. It's nice to because we get to visit with Gramma Janice and Pa and Gramma Becky too :o)

Here are a few new pics and enjoy the rest of the week :o)

Some work and a little fun...

2008-05-25T22:38:00.000-07:00

Well Jason had some classes to take for work over in Seattle Thursday and Friday so we went over Wednesday and stayed at Mom and Ricks until Sunday. It was nice we got to visit and then spend some fun family time together too. The kids and I hung out with mom during the week while Jason went to class and Rick a.k.a. Grampsy went to work. It rained the entire week but we had fun anyway. Jason and I actually got to go out to a nice dinner together while Nanny and Grampsy watched the kiddos, how nice was that! Saturday we packed a picnic and headed out to Deception pass to take the kids to the beach. A good family friend Jacki came along with us and it was so nice to be able to spend the day with her too. The kids had fun playing in the water even though it was freezing and we had tons of fun collecting sea shells and cool rocks. The views from the beach were amazing and so relaxing :o)

We are also looking forward to another fun weekend coming up! Auntie Audrey will be flying in on Friday and Nanny, Grampsy, Pa and Gramma Becky will all be here for Carlee and Buck's wedding :o) Yay, we can't wait!!

Are we done yet???

2008-05-20T13:09:00.000-07:00

So the last few weekends have been a little tiring for Jas and I! We have been trying to get our yard looking nice and have tried to boost our curb appeal a bit in hopes to help sell our house. We planted flowers, made a new island flower bed on the side of the house, planted two maple trees and stained the deck and fence. Of course we ran out of stain for the last 20 feet of fence but hey it happens. We are sooo glad that all of this hard work is coming to an end! Now we are ready to spend our weekends enjoying the nice weather with our kids doing FUN things! We are getting ready to head over to Seattle for a few days to spend some time with Mom and Rick. Jason has training for his job over there Thursday and Friday and then we will spend the long weekend visiting and doing fun stuff :o) Well everyone have a safe and fun Memorial Day weekend :o) I included a few before and after pics so you get the idea :o)

2008-05-14T12:41:00.000-07:00

Well one good thing, we have not had any snow this past week, yay!!! I am so done with that for the year :o)
We have had lots of fun this week being able to play outside and every night after dinner we have gone to the park to play. Kaiden and Cole got some new wheels and have been tearing up the neighborhood! Kaiden even made his own tow strap so he could tow the wagon and anything else he can find behind his Gator. He tried to hook up the Expedition but didn't fair to well. The good thing is Kaiden likes to drive and Cole is content to go along for the ride so they don't fight over it at all. They even took sissy for a spin, she was laughing the entire time.

Halle is now pulling herself up on everything so it won't be long until I am fully chasing her too, three on the run, I will never have to exercise again! Mommy and Halle also got matching pedicures (hence the photo of the piggies) this week, can you tell I am having fun with my little girl!
Kaiden has another soccer game tomorrow and hopefully he will want to play and won't take part in any pushing matches this game ;o) Ya gotta love 4 year olds playing soccer.
These pics are from my cell phone so they aren't the greatest but you get the idea :o) Have a wonderful weekend everyone :o)
