Our nice relaxing Sunday afternoon....

It's our tradition to spend Sunday after church at my parents house....sometimes its a bit more relaxing then others. This Sunday well....you be the judge of that :)

Just to update everyone....

We have moved back from Spokane to Yelm in the past month. It is so nice to be back around our friends and family. I miss my job at Rockwood in Spokane very very much but I will find a new one here soon. I haven't been as good at taking pictures as I should be and updating our blog but promise to work on doing better. I still can't believe Vanessa just turned 10 years old last week and Matthew is about to turn 6 years old next month. I am feeling very old lately :)

Vanessa and Snookums

If you can't tell Vanessa just loves our new dog Snookums.

Vanessa's Birthday party

I can't believe Vanessa has turned 10 years old this year. She had fun with some of her friends and her brother at her birthday party.

A lil bit of our life :)

Christmas Tree

Advent Calanders

I made the kids advent calander out of muffin tins

My amazing table

Right before I moved to Spokane I told Dad that I needed a dining room table. So we made this amazing table together. He had some boards planed from a tree that had fallen in there backyard and then put some edging. I wanted it big because of my big family so we don't all have to smash together and this was the result. My cousin Denny helped me finish it and put it all together. Don't know what I would have done without him. The pictures don't do it justice, it is so beautiful :) I have the best dad ever....

Decorating for Christmas :)

Our first year in a long time to get to decorate our own tree
We had alot of fun discovering our decorations after 4 years

Pumpkin Time....

Before the kids went to school today they carved there pumpkins.....they have lotsa personality :)

The final result of all there hard work.....

The Puyallup Fair

Its a family tradition we just couldn't give up even if we just moved to the other side of the state :) It was a fun thing to get to do after moving and having alot of stress to go have fun and unwind on the rides.....
Vanessa just had to have cotton candy....I think it was as big as her

Matthew just had to get a picture of him and nana together.....

Vanessa talked Nana into getting on a ride....you could hear her scream like a lil girl from across the fair....

We all had to get our arms and faces blinged out :)

Just chillin and playin in the balls....one of my favorite pictures of Matthew.....

They loved the trampolines....they were trying to convince me that we should get one like this for our house. And she finally made it all the way around.....

Fair rides Canadian style :)
