Father's Day Celebration 2009

We did Father's Day early this year, because we were going to Seattle for the weekend. We had homemade Olive Garden and it was very Yummy! I am so thankful for my Dad and for the example he sets for me and my family. He is truly my biggest hero. I am also thankful for my father-in-law for all he does for our family. He is a great friend to Brent and I know our boys think he's great. I am very thankful for Brent and for the sweet relationship he has with each one of the boys. It takes a great Dad to work all day sometimes 12-14 hours and then come home and play hockey or hide and seek. The boys think he is the best and that's all that matters! Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's in our lives!

Bubba Update

Bubba is still growing like a weed. He loves rollie pollies. The boys get a kick out of him! The other day I woke up to both boys outside taking care of Bubba. We had left him outside all night for the first time accidentally and so the boys went right out to check on him. We have sure enjoyed the learning experience of having our duck.

Floating the Wenachee River

Our friends Steve and Ang asked us to float the river again with them this year....except it was a very different river than last year. Last year we went down the White Salmon a big drop like 13' and that was it. This year was full of rapids and lots of action. We had a great time and we survived so I was thrilled. We plan on doing the Tieton later this fall.

Trenton's Last Day of Kindergarten!

Trenton's last day of school has come and gone......it was a very sad day for me (the Mom) and for Mrs. Lipp and especially Trenton. He will miss his teacher, she was so awesome! He made some really good friends and yes some boys too. I know I didn't take any pictures of his friends that are boys but yes he loves all of his friends. He is so excited for 1st grade with Mrs. Legard.

Trenton's Fire Safety Day!

Trenton had a week of safety.......both the fire dept. and police dept. came to visit his school. He loved it and learned alot about fire and what to do in case of an emergency. It was a good review for our family. We needed to figure out our meeting place and talk about what we would do if our house was on fire. I love being able to work in Trenton's classroom and sharing all of these fun times with him!

Ready, Set......SWIM

We spent most of the weekend working, cleaning and scrubbing the pool to make it sparkling clean for the Summer fun ahead! The boys were so helpful and excited it was fun to work together as a family to appreciate what it takes to get the pool ready to swim in. The boys have been in it non-stop since the water was filling it. I'm looking forward to many hot Summer days and enjoying some much needed swims in this pool. Thanks Daddy for all your hard work!
