Weekend with a hall pass!


Ok not a hall pass but at least a fishing pass. Regen, Kenley, Brisen, Pam and Ed left for Utah on Wed. to see Sloan/Julia's new baby boy Ward leaving me at home to work. Its been pretty hard.

The house is ready to ship!

For those of you who don't know, we have been in the process of trying to build a house for the past 2 years. After many different setbacks, construction actually began a couple months ago with clearing the lot and putting in the road and utilities. We are putting in a modular home which means the main part of the house is built in a factory to custom, stick built specifications and codes. Which works well for the rainy weather here in the Seattle area. The factory is over by Cour-d'Alene, Idaho and when mom and dad were over there this past weekend, they were able to visit the house. Here are some pictures of the house which is ready to ship and just waiting for the foundation and first floor to be built here onsite. Back of the house. The roof and upper floor are folded

down to be put up when the pieces are joined together.

It's wrapped to ship so they couldn't see inside.




Living Room and view of the stairs.

We will put in the flooring and light fixtures when it arrives.

Brisen Turns 1!

I can't believe it already came - Brisen's 1st birthday!!! How fast can one year go. She is such a special little girl! No longer a baby. She is always on the move. She doesn't sit still for long, unless she is in her high chair because she loves to eat too. She weaned herself at 10 months because she just likes solid food so much. She is a happy little girl, always smiling. She loves to dance and whenever she hears any kind of music she either shakes her head or bounces up and down. She really likes music with a good beat and that's when she really gets down. We love her and she has made our family even more special. Here are some highlights from her 1st birthday party.



Kenley is so excited she can't sit still!

What do you mean "blow out the candle?"

Happy birthday girl and Mommy

Daddy's birthday girl!

Presents!

Toys!

No more cake!?!

Now what?

This was a different day, but such a cute picture.
She couldn't get past the gate and everyone else was upstairs.
She cried until she fell asleep.
