Summer 2009

Ok, we've finally decided to get with it and do a blog. With 3 kids 5 and under, we just don't have a lot of "free" time I guess. Anyways, here we are, officially bloggers. So far the summer is going well. We had a fun little trip to Idaho to visit our family's at the end of May, Dan and I escaped to San Diego (without our children) for a few nights and it was quite refreshing for us. The kids didn't even know we were gone they were having so much fun with Grandma & Grandpa and playing with cousins. It was a quick trip, it always feels that way, but a lot of fun. Dan and I did go to Knotts Berry Farm while visiting California. We (I) was brave and went on almost every scary ride that Dan wanted to go on. We both were crazy sore that night and the next day. We learned the hard way that we're too old to do the roller coasters. That was a sad realization. We have been busy back home now. Isaac can't wait for school to start in the fall. He'll be in Kindergarten. He sure misses preschool. I can't believe how old he's getting. I've started babysitting a couple kids from home a few days a week. A brother and sister. The boy is about Isaac's age and the girl is about Audrey's age so it's worked out pretty well. They all have fun together with only a few hundred fights a day. Ha! Dan's work has kept him VERY busy, his project will officially wrap up in the next week or so, then we'll see what happens from there. The company he is working for has a lot of projects that have been put "on hold" for the time being so he'll get to try his hand at some other duties in the office. Adriana is 8 1/2 months old, has 2 teeth and is so much fun. She is such a happy little girl. She loves her brother, sister and new best friend, our dog. Now that she can sit up by herself, she loves to pet Daisy and pull her tail. Daisy's such a good sport about it all. Last weekend was the 4th of July and we had lots of fun doing our own fireworks show. The kids sat in chairs and clapped while Dan lit off the fireworks. I'm sure it was a great boost to Dan's eg0. Ha! They loved the sparklers, Audrey almost lit her clothes and hair on fire with her sparkler but quickly learned to hold her arm straigt out. It was a hot weekend so we bought a pool for the kids which they lived in all weekend. It's now in the 60's ago. Good ol Washington summers. We have some super cute pics of the kids swimming. I'm going to try to update this once a week or so.
