Well our computer crashed a few months ago and we are having trouble getting it fixed. I have both my cameras full of pictures and lots of stories to tell but I have to wait and see if it will ever get fixed. When it does.....watch out there will be lots to read! Stay tuned!
Crew is now in the 4 day morning at Gateway! He is adjusting but I think it will take him longer than Trenton because he is so shy! I hope he likes it. He has Miss Joan and Miss Sue.....and we love them!
Our Labor Day weekend was very relaxing! We watched movies, enjoyed each other and played outside. We also had a fun day out a our cousins riding 4 wheelers. Papa and Nana bought the boys their own and they haven't rode it much so it was a perfect time and they loved it. Trenton got pretty brave and was getting a little crazy and Crew wanted to go non stop. We will have to do it again soon. Thanks Allen and Cherl!
We officially have one in school all day.......can you believe it? I can't and I don't really like it. I miss him and still am having a hard time with him being gone all day! On the first day of school Trenton went right in and didn't even look back at me......oh how my heart hurt. I am not looking forward to him growing up! He is awesome and we do love to see him progress!

Crew and his bestest buddy Turner!Well our little Crewzer is now 4 and thinks he is as big as his brother.....or even his Mom and Dad. He stands next to us and says I'm as big as you.......well not quite! He had a great friend party and enjoyed celebrating with his 3 friends. They swam, ate, and played Star Wars. It was perfect and so much fun for Crew!

This summer Trenton was able to attend a hockey camp put on by Don Nachenbaur and the Tri-City Americans. Trenton had a blast and learned so much. Can't wait to see him on the ice this year!
Awards......Trenton won the $10 blockbuster card!
Crewzer was such a good sport......watching his brother for hours each day for a week! What a fun week! Nellie is my cousin but also one of my best friends. I know back in the day all we did is fight but today we are more like sisters. I love this girl! Several years ago Nellie's mom Aunt Sue died of breast cancer so are family are even closer than we were before which is pretty darn close. We miss Aunt Sue so much and think of her often. The week of the wedding my heart was especially tender for Nellie.....I knew it was going to be tough to not have her mother there on her wedding day. I know she was there in spirit and I could feel her there! The wedding week started with a fun night out to pizza at Hubby's and then over to look at Nellie and Jody's house that they are having built. Thursday was spent at the Moses Lake Water park. It was tons of fun. We ended that night with a BBQ at our house. Friday we had a shower for Nellie at Anthony's and she even got one of my Mom's cute aprons. It was nice to be with the girls. We headed over to set up the wedding stuff and then off to Allen and Cherl's for another family get together. Saturday was crazy......lunch with the girls, doing flowers with Nellie, decorating and helping Nellie get ready. It was something I will always remember and something that I had tons of fun doing. Thanks to my in-laws Nellie had the most beautiful wedding. We used their backyard and it was Perfect! I hope that Nellie and Jody have a long and happy life together! Love you guys!
FUN pictures....I love to take them!
Nellie and Sister seeing each other for the first time! She was absolutely breath taking!
My Aunt Sue's Chair......we miss you! 
I Love this guy!
Crew's 1st birthday!
and 3rd birthday!
Another 1st for me........I did the 5k Rodeo Run. I even did it all by myself, no one would do it with me. So I signed up and did it. I set a goal to run it in 25 min. and I did it in 24:34 so I was so proud! I did my first mile in 6 minutes something and then the next two I thought I was going to die. I didn't want the lady with the stroller to beat me but she did anyway! I am looking forward to the next race whatever that may be!!!!!
We had another great camping trip with the Allen's. It is our family tradition to go camping at Mt. Rainer every year with all our cousins. We always hike, play in the water and of course we love to play in the fire. Some of the highlights from our trip are.......
Crew swam across the freezing cold river!
Trenton also swam across the river and loved watching all the kids cliff jump!
