Our New Home

We are Moving

Our testimony goes back so many years it would be hard to describe or write ALL that God is doing in our lives.

Jason has a new position in Yakima with Frito-Lay and we have a new home. Our family is super excited to move closer to our extended family. The move is sudden and overwhelming yet met with anticipation on where God will lead us once we get there. It is because of our foundation in Him and oiur faith that we stand here today knowing full well this is our path.

I am so sad because I will miss those that have touch our lives and stood by us in support as we struggled through marriage and life. I know that each person who has touched our lives it was known by the Lord and was for "such a time as this". We have been inpsired, loved, cared for, prayed with, prayed over, by all of you. Our children have been invited into your homes and we have made long lasting relationships. Friendships that we will hold dear in our hearts forever.

This new chapter offers us a "new beginning" in our marriage and family. We step out in faith and know that the foundation that guides us will "never leave nor forsake us". We are on fire for the Lord and know that we will once again meet new people, explore a new city and enjoy being near our family.

Thank you to all of you and God Bless!

My Birthday Weekend

The weekend was filled with fun and my birthday is not even until tomorrow. We went to the Seattle Aquarium with a dear friend from the past and her 2 kiddos on Friday and then Natalie and I got to go see Disney on Ice with my mom who spoiled us with dinner and lots of fun things from the show. I got 2 cards today from my very silly aunt Angie with $ for retail therapy that made me laugh so hard I almost pee'd my pants (which as I get older is becoming more of a problem...you know?).

I am so blessed. My friends and family are amazing and I am so thankful for the love I feel.

Halloween 2009

My SIL and I took the kids and headed to Yak this year to be with our other SIL and cousins. We had a lot of fun minus me being really sick. I got some good drugs from the pharmacy and managed my way through the weekend. The kids had fun visiting Mema and Papka Boobs and seeing all of their cousins. It was beautiful in Yakima and we enjoyed a very sunny days with temps in the 60's.

Being 3

I took these series of pictures of Natalie yesterday afternoon. It shows how fast a 3yr old can change from one expression, attitude to another in a matter of seconds.

LOL! My favorite is the mad look and I did not prompt her for any of these they just came naturally!

October

It is hard to imagine we are half way through October. I have been homeschooling for 6 weeks now! Kids are great growing fast.

We have been busy this month with all sorts of fun activities from celebrating Columbus Day, baking cookies (my favorite), making playdoh, harvest parties and carving pumpkins and we are only 1/2 way through the month.

This is my all time favorite time of year. I love the Fall!

We did the Puyallup!

Oh we did it alright...7 1/2 hrs at the fair. Yes, you read that right. $100 later we were broke, tired and hungry. We did not intend to stay that long, but my car was getting new tires on it. We dropped it off in the am, but they did not start until 3:30pm so I had to drag out the time. My camera ran out of batteries 15 min after we were there, fun! The kids had a lot of fun and they all loved rides. We met a girlfriend and her kids for part of the day. The favorite of course was the scrambler (even Natalie rode it). We found the John Deer store and that was fun. Reilly found a Gator which he loved. He wanted to know if we could "trade" his tractor for it. We love the 4H Dog Obedience Show, and just watching all the people and animals. The day ended by Natalie running (in flip flops) and vering off into the spa place, tripping, flying into the stairs and hitting her nose so hard she screamed a terrible scream. The entire fair seemed to go silent as everyone watch me. She is fine, but it was tramatic. It was such a long day topped off by daddie taking us to dinner at our favorite place, Red Robin.
