Easter Extravaganza

-



This year Easter weekend was busy, busy, busy. It went fast & was fabulous weather, people & filled with fun.  To start it off, Josie & I had an Easter egg hunt & celebration with her preschool class.  This was fun but I have beef with two set s of parents- whomever put glitter in the plastic eggs needs to identify themselves for clean up duties next time & whomever put the stamps in the eggs should have warned me because Josie got a hold of those stamps & covered her arms & legs on the ride home without me even noticing.  Although I should have known something more than candy eating was happening in the back seat by her silence!




 On Saturday was Issac’s first soccer game of the season.  Grandpa Brad & Grandma Shannon came to watch.  Then we went home to get the dogs & load the car and our apartment community was hosting an Easter Egg hunt with food, cookie decorating & bunny pictures.  


Once we finally got on the road to head north we stopped in Marysville at Tyler’s Mom’s house to have lunch with Grandma Laura, Grandpa Mark & Uncle Jayson.  The kids got fun baskets full of goodies & enjoyed making pizzas with Uncle Jayson.


Eventually we made it to Ferndale where we enjoyed dinner & a fun Easter Egg Decorating party at Aunt Nicole & Uncle Warren’s house.  It was fun to see the kids get in to decorating the eggs.  Issac enjoyed drawing designs & writing our names on the eggs.  Josie spent her time decorating as many eggs as possible pink!!!





Easter Morning the kids located all of the Easter Bunny’s goodies & got dressed just in time for our bestest family friends the Wagester family to arrive.  I was so excited to have had them invited to spend Easter with us in Ferndale.  The kids spent the day hunting for eggs, playing soccer, racquetball, drawing with chalk & re-hiding the eggs.  The weather was perfect & everyone had a great time. 






Thank you to the Wagesters for joining us. Thank you to my Mom for buying the kids Easter outfits & a Big thank you to Uncle Warren & Aunt Nicole for hosting another fun filled holiday get together.  We love you all!!!

Issac's TMNT Birthday

I think it was only a day or two after his fourth birthday party that Issac declared that for his fifth birthday he wanted a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Party when he turned six.   Honestly, I’m half surprised he didn’t change his mind & half not surprised at all that he didn’t change his mind during the year because Issac has loved turtles ever since he was two.   Issac loves not just TMNT but all things turtle, he has books about turtles, a handful of stuffed turtles and even a pet tortoise, Crush.     Above- Issac invited 6 school friends to his party. Bellow- Cupcakes for his class w/ TMNT toppers made by me.  Above- Josie bought Issac 6 balloons. Bellow- Cupcakes at school.  Above- Issac & Josie celebrating his birthday with his class.

Our First Family Road Trip

We had planned & canceled a trip to Utah last fall because Tyler was out of work due to injury & we couldn’t afford it. However, since my Grandma’s death it has weighted heavy on our minds that none of Tyler’s grandparents have yet to meet Miss Josie. To fly to Utah with Josie on our laps would have been close to a thousand dollars. However to drive was only about $350 in gas round trip. Once it was confirmed that Tyler was able to line up his work vacation with his school’s Spring Break, I began to plan everything out.  Before, during & after our trip   EVERYONE kept asking us why we choose to drive the "long" way to utah through Montana.  It is simple, we wanted to spend some time with tyler's younger brother & his wife in Spokane.  We saved money on this trip in many ways. First off we drove instead of flying. Second, we took up every offer from different family members to have dinner with them so the only 2 nights we ate din...

University of Washington Tacoma Graduation

After years of dreaming & hard work, on Friday June 10th, 2011, I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Urban Studies.  It was a great day. Tyler, the kids, my Mom, my Uncle Greg, cousins Emma & Jacob plus my Grandpa's wife Barb cheered me on inside the Tacoma Dome. 2011 has gone by so quickly.  Since Josie's birth completing my homework has been tough. Some days i just wanted to stay home & hold my baby. But I knew that she was safe at home with her father while I attended class.  I look back and I am so grateful for Tyler who has always believed in me & never kicked me while I was down.  Our plan to have children while I attended school was one of the best decisions we could have made for our family.  Everyone keeps asking so many questions!!! "When will you get a job?" "Where will you work?" 'what will you do with the kids?"  All kinds of personal questions. Tyler & I have been waiting to hear if he will return to work or not be...
