Ryan started his new job last week with Lexmark as a Systems Engineer on the Boeing Account and back up for WaMu. He needed a change and the move up. He likes his boss and co-workers. He enjoys it so far but who wouldn’t when your first day on the job is to fly to CA, do lunch, meet people, fill out some paperwork, and then go to a ball game. We are very grateful for the opportunity for our family and hope it will bring Ryan happiness and success!

Happy Pioneer Day

0 comments

We have been able to get out and have some summer fun the last few weeks. Mom and Dad have a membership to Thousand Trails camping resorts which has putt putt golf, play grounds and swimming. We have been there twice so far (just for day trips); once with cousins w/o Dad and once with just our little family including Dad. Evan loves the golf and does not ever want to leave the swimming. Miles on the other hand hung out on the sidelines most of our swim time. He takes time to warm up to things and he was a little nervous about the water. Once he got use to it he had a blast and Lucas loved the new experience, he kept on splashing everyone

We had two birthday parties for Evan this year, a school/church/friends party and a family party. This was the first kids party we have had. It was a lot of work but so much fun! Evan had a blast. He picked most of the activities we did; coloring, relay races, pinata, water balloons and just running around playing (even running a friends Dad up a tree). The family party was a lot of fun too. We got Evan Nerf dart gun set (his first guns, I had a hard time with this one but Ryan just rolls his eyes at me and says he's a boy!) he and his cousin Carter had so much fun. We need to have you over again Carter to play good guys and bad guys! Thank you family and friends for such a wonderful time

Does it mean you are a bad mom if you can't stand your kids voices by the end of the week?

So we started out the day like almost any other arguing with the kids to hurry up so that we can meet up with everyone for a family hike. Then arguing with Ryan about how I am a paranoid person just because I said I hope our house doesn't burn to the ground while we are gone (our neighbors seem to like doing fireworks in front of our house the last few years). Then we got to our hike. It was a good hike (Boardman Lake right by Evan's Lake in Granite Falls) especially for the boys, not to hard for them and not too easy for Ryan and I. We got to play in the snow and have a little excitement of loosing the trail due to the snow. It was crazy how much snow was up there. The lake was still frozen over. I don't think it will all melt away before next years snow fall. Evan was thrilled to find out that a lake had the same name as him. Then we got to enjoy fireworks up at Carleen and Mike's, well until Lucas decided to hurl all over me. It was good to get out and get some fresh air and spend time with family! (Sorry the pics are a little dark we used our old little camera that we haven't used in a long time)

OK, so maybe I am vanilla

Now I'm going to go have ice cream to try to make myself feel better. I blame Val for making me curious :)

You know its time to clean the play kitchen toys when you are pretending to eat the wonderful meal that was prepared for you by your 2 year old and you are gaging from the bad breath smell.

Yes, we have green and brown play kitchen for our boys. What if they want to become a chef?
