happy happy birthday hubby dear

Happy Birthday Brent--We love you!!!!!!!!!!!!

new family pics

My whole family is in town this week so we took the oppurtunity to take family pics since it will probably be 2 years until we are together again. My SIL Amy was very kind to take some time out and take the pics so we wouldn't have to run with the timer on. Then my brother dave did the photoshop work. I love how they turned out!

a dentist in the family

My baby brother just graduated from Dental school in Portland! They are off (with their 4 kids) to Louisville for Orthodontics. Congratulations Dave (and Bri). We love you!!

what time is it? summer time--summer vacation!!

Goodbye 1st and 3rd!


Hello Summer!
wow it's offically here, summer time. I can't believe it is here and I know it will go fast! We started summer off with a bang. My fun friends--Amy, Kristin, and Kym got together in Kym's back yard and had an afternoon of water fun for the kids. We had pizza for the kids and of course for the mom's we had cafe rio salads--yum! The kids had a great time--my kids were not ready to leave, so Zach just had his nap on my lap. It was a fun fun afternoon. Thanks girls for putting that together!

home improvement

Well over memorial day weekend, we about "killed" both of our dads. First my dad came to lay sod with Brent in the front yard. For some reason we started laying it before people came to help. (Don't ask me why) Anyway I think it really took its toll on my dad. Then a couple of days later Brent started to build a deck with his dad. They had to dig 8 post holes and fill them with concrete. That about did carl in. I kept telling Brent that he needed to check on both dad's to make sure they were still alive. I think we forget that they are older then they are--no offense--I still think I am 18, so why would they be any older?



We are not done yet with the deck, but it is coming along. Can't wait for the first party on the deck--should be fun--hope it holds :) just kidding!
