Oh my Goodness!!

Wow it has been so long since I have updated this blog. Guess I really haven't had much time. Who would have thought that school would take up this much time.

We are still chugging along. I am doing night school still. I have 5 months left. Still not sure what I want to do with it. Don't want to quit my day job. Right now I can't wait for summer. I look forward to spending more time with the boys (All 3 of them).

Austin is doing his riding lessons still. He loves it. Bashaa is great for him and he loves Kari. He likes to play shy sometimes with her but of course he talks about her all the time. He is looking forward to his birthday already. I think it is because Garrett's is coming up. he likes to help pick out the presents he wants. He likes school. He has a crush on some little girl name Ashley. How does he know about this stuff. I think we filled his head with that stuff. Hmmm?? He did tell me the other night that he wanted to marry me. yeah!!! I'm done, that was my accomplishment for the year.

Garrett is in Preschool and he loves it. He likes to be able to play with Austin and the other kids. Not sure I could convince him to go if Austin didn't but we will see next year. He is very leery of anything not with his big brother. He is getting ready to have a birthday. The big 4. He is so excited. He wants a quad for his birthday. Not one with plastic wheels but the real kind. Too bad mommy isn't ready. He is crazy i will say it now. He is super crazy. He pulls too many stunts not on a motorized vehicle I couldn't imagine what he will do. I think we are getting him a bike. He is learning how to ride his current bike without training wheels. He almost has it mastered from one day of riding. And I say one day meaning about 30 mins outside trying. He is so determined. Good for him. So for now Garrett will be riding the 2 wheeled version of what he wants.

Tim is doing well. He is trying to keep up on his sleep while being MR. Mom for us. He is doing a great job being me but I don't think he is getting much sleep. Thank goodness my mom has been here to help. We will see what happens when she goes to Italy. He is bonding with the boys and have lots of alone time which is good for all of them. He got a new IPOD for Christmas and I think that helps with giving him quiet alone time. Time to zone out. I guess the test will be to see if we are still all alive come June when I graduate.

We are holding up would love more time to visit with everyone. Hope to see you all for our birthdays in February.

New things going on with us!

Tim and I have been doing well. The boys are getting big so fast. They are repeating things they shouldn't be and of course things none of us remember saying, Until we catch each other saying it. We have all been through the crud except Tim. Thank goodness. I am still taking meds for a sinus infection but almost done. yeah!!


Austin will be going to his 2nd of 7 horse lessons from Kari Williams Champion horses. She is so much fun, young, and Austin loves her. He is so grown up next to a big horse. I will have to take some pics to show you all.

Next week I will be starting school on November 9th. I will be going to a beauty school to be an Esthetician. I am very excited but will miss my family VERY much. I will be working full time during the day and then gong to school every night but Friday from 5-9. I will be going on Saturday all day form 8-430. It will only take me 7 months. I will be done the same time that high school is done. Yes! I just have to keep my eye on the prize and get lots of sleep. I have a feeling the boys will be getting spoiled by me during those 7 months. Mom and Tim will be very tired I am sure. I will need all of the help that I can get from them. Thanks!!!

In 2 weeks I leave for Phoenix for Bre's wedding. I am really looking forward to that. I think Nick and I will have a blast hanging out. It will be nice to see the family again.

A week after that we will be heading to Whistler, BC for Thanksgiving week. I am very excited for this except for the roads. I am very worried about the snow and Ice. Mom will be going up a few days before us so I am hoping she will give me a road report.

After all of this it will be school school school. Eye on the prize. I will have to make this my new Mantra. Love you all and hope you are all doing well.

Thank you to all of you that made the Halloween party a blast. We hope you enjoy the photos. I know they are backwards but you all wore me out last night so I'm tired today. No drinking and I think I am more tired than usual.

The Fall Time in Washington

Here are the boys saying good night to each other. It was along night but well worth every minute of planning.
Look at us girls. Payton and I were the cutest bees all night.
The gang! We had Joanna, Calie, Markella, Cheryl, Brooke, TJ, Cole, Dawson, Ryan, Jayme, Payton, Corie, Mike, Bjorn, Reider, Ben, Jaden, Chaney, Joe, Mom, Tim, Austin, Garrett, Leroy and Debbie!
A little apple Bobbing is good for the soul. We had a blast with this. Jayme kicked it off with 5 apples in 1 min. Tim got to 4, I got 4 and then Corie played. She whopped on us with 7 I think. We tried to get her brother Ben involved in a little sibling rivalry but he couldn't beat her.
Chaney and Tim hitting on each other. They both were so funny in their costumes we couldn't stop talking about them.



The boys are so cute.!!!!


How can you not feel safe with Captain America, Bat girl and a firemen in the house. We are safe no matter what.
Trick or Treating with the kids. They thought we were so funny. Tim ran up and down the streets saying "Feel the Burn".

The family! Do you think the boys will wonder who their mother is or do they just know that Daddy is silly!! I think he is just silly and funny!!




Tim and I were making out. How could you not with those things he had. His costume was called Camille Toe and he tool Best Costume of the night. He was hilarious and every one loved it. He truly is coming out of his shell. Love It!!!


Look at how hot the girls look. Joanna is Raggedy Anne, Calie was a sock hop gal, I was the bumble bee and mom was Bat girl. HOT!!!

Look at how cute the three of them are. Garrett the Fireman, Austin is Captain America, and Markella was a butterfly.

We outfitted the house this year with lots of scary stuff. It was to hard to see with pics but we had a few kids who refused to come up to the door. It was awesome.
The boys made these scarecrows at school. they even have the kids clothes on
Look at Riley the Franz delivery dog.!!!! She was so cute. Too bad she ended up being Garrett's Fire Dog. She was Chief Hound.

Pumpkin carving is the best time of the year! I put our intials in the back but Tim didn't want his to show through. he has the huge face pumpkin.



This is at the Pumpkin farm. It was cold, rainy and very windy. We had a blast though.

Pumpkin Patch "The Farm"

Look how big the boys are with these pumpkins. They are so cute.

This is Corie, Reider, Bjorn and our cutie pies in the boat at Grays Harbor. That is where the maze ended.


We took the boys through the Corn maze. It is the Washington State maze roads and bridges. It is 12 acres of corn. We had a great time and it took us about a half hour to find our way across the state.
Here was the slide that goes down a hill. They could not have been drug off of them. It was a matter of them seeing something cooler.
This is the hay jump. We took so many cool pics of them in here. They had a blast. We went with some good friends and their children Bjorn and Reider.

Cocoon House Auction Dinner

We had a great time at this dinner. Probably one of our favorite Auction dinners. It was hard to sit amongst the high rollers but we plan on going back again. Tim would like to save a chunk of cash and just lay it down on a trip at the auction. There was a 7-10 day trip to Costa Rica that we both really wanted. OH well I think it went for about $3,500.

Dinner was great and we got to meet John Curly from Evening magazine. He was the auctioneer and he was hilarious. I have posted a picture of us with him.

Go SEAHAWKS!!!

Yeah, I know this will most likely be out of order with the rest of my posts, but we had so much fun at the game. I took Tim to the Seahawks game as a early surprise birthday present. I didn't tell him until we got close to Seattle and he wanted to know where we were going to park. He thought I was going to make him sit with me at the waterfront and read a book. Ha do you think he was glad that wasn't the plan. We won the game vs. Rams 28-0. Best date ever!!!
