We Moved!

Well, it has been a while. I haven't been as good at this blogging thing as I thought I would be. I have never been good with consistency, it's just me. I am learning to accept it.

But since Lee's lay off in July, we had a lot of applications go out, and very few calls back. Until Sandvik Special Metals in Kennewick, WA called. Lee interviewed on a Monday and was offered the job on Wednesday. As usual, it was a quick decision and quick move.

The boys and I have been here since November 1st. They seem to be transitioning well. Although I can't seem to read the weather well, things are going just fine.

Here is a picture of the house, and if I can find a few pictures of the landscape from our apartment balcony, I will add those.

So, hello from Pasco!

And we're off to Kindergarten!!

Trey started Kindergarten this week. He was so excited to ride the bus like the big kids.

He had a great day. His favorite part was recess and even saw a t-ball buddy at lunch. I think it is going to be a pretty good year, despite the odd days of class. Our school district had budget cuts, so he goes Tuesday, Friday and every other Wednesday, all day.

Much love to my big boy, I can't believe how fast the time has gone!

Time flies

Happy 40th Wedding Anniversary Mom and Dad (July 18th 2009)

Unfortunately (or fortunately depending how one looks at it) I didn't take a lot of pictures, so I am awaiting copies from others.

It was fun to have family that my parents have not seen in 25+ years. Here are a few photos.

Cousins Carole and Maryanne
Connie and my mom

Happy Graduation

Trey graduated from pre-school on June 10th. I got a bit misty thinking about how fast the time has gone.

Mrs. Marshall and Trey. She is such a great teacher.

The boys

I am not winning mom of the month this time around. The twins turned 2 on the 22nd, and I am just now blogging about it. Call it denial, call it procrastination, call it busy mom syndrome. But here are a few pictures.

Happy Birthday Parker!

Happy Birthday Chase!

They say "welcome to the terrible twos" but little do people know, they start around 18 months. :)

The happs

The boys got a new tree house. Our great friends gave us their old play structure and we took it apart and made it fit our little back yard.







Getting it off the trailor.

OK, it doesn't fit this way

So we took down the fence between our house and our neighbor JoAnne's. She has a double gate on the other side.



Taking it through JoAnne's patio

The final product. The boys love it!

Busy weekend

It has been a while since posting. Things have been very uneventful here. Here is what we did on Friday.... note to anyone out there: DO NOT go to the zoo on a Friday afternoon, it was too busy.

Trey took many pictures of the animals, here is his first, the giraffe.

Here Trey is posing for one of many pictures.

And I actually let the boys out of the stroller to play (brave, I know) and got them to take a picture together, yeah!

Saturday Morning, Trey had his trke-a-thon fundraiser for school. He had fun cruising....

Lee and I then went to a friends CD release party. He is an awesome artist and think you should all check him out and pass him along. He is FAN-F*N-TASTIC

This guy, Tony Smiley, is pretty awesome too. He is the new version of a one man band.
