I just love having a little boy he is the joy of the family. He loves to go down to the beach and LOVES his froggy boots his Nana bought him and always wants to wear them. He looks so cute in his jammies and his boots I love this picture.

Point No Point

Yesterday we decided to get out of the house and do something as a family. We have all been sick since Christmas and we couldn't take being stuck in the house an longer. We didn't want to be gone too long so we went to a place called Point no Point light house about 20 minutes from our house. It was really neat. A little light house from the 1880's stood there on the end of the "point" of the beach so ships could see it. The beaches here are pretty much all pebbles and rocks so it was a nice surprise to have sand beneath our feet. Here are some pictures of the morning, It was freezing!!!

Randomness and Resolutions

Happy late New Year to everyone! Just a quick catch up on things, we had my parents here for Christmas break and it was soooo nice to see them and hang out. We had Christmas a day late because my parents weren't able to make it in until Christmas night so Santa stopped at our house last. We went to The Summit and took the girls snowboarding and skiing, well Emily skied because she was not old enough to try snowboarding but they did awesome!! They had ski school in the morning then we took them up the mountain in the afternoon they both really amazed us. When I get the pictures from my moms camera I will post some pics of that day.
I'm going to try to be so good this year with my resolutions and posting them might make me keep in line. ok so here they are.
1. Do NOT spend money!!!!
2. Be Patient with my kids!!!
3. Do NOT eat out, cook more!!
4. of course everyone puts this LOSE WEIGHT, Mainly just be more healthy and exercise after my knee gets fixed:(
5. Get organized and throw out junk!!
6. Learn how to use my photo shop Sam got me for Christmas
7. Take more pictures of myself and learn to not be so judgmental of them.
Those are just a few, I have many more but I won't bore you.

HaPpY BiRtHdAy To YoU!!

My girls are so lady like and their manners are amazing and me laughing in the back ground does not help. It was Emily's 6th birthday yesterday and we love her so much she brings so much JOY to our family and alot of comedy.

Let it SnOw let it sNoW let it SNOW!!

NOT!!! So we are officially snowed in! We cannot make it up our road to the main road which is all snow packed and covered with ice and 6 inches of snow. We went yesterday before the second storm came to get tire chains for our van but every where is sold out until Tuesday a lot of good that does us. We are just hanging out enjoying the snow falling and praying the power does not go out, apparently it goes out alot for days on end,YEAH. again with the joking!! My parents are coming in from Houston tomorrow and the news just said they might close the Seattle airport YIKES even if my parents get to Seattle they then have to get a taxi or bus to take them to the Ferry then they have to take the ferry over to Bainbridge Island and then we have to figure out how to get them to my house 10 minutes away, doesn't sound far but the taxis and buses are not running as of now and everyone is snowed in. If only I had a boat then I could just get them from Seattle myself and they could have front door service to my house no roads necessary. If only? I'll post pics tomorrow of our snowman we made today it is taller than our swing set. The kids are loving this weather the street next to us has a long somewhat steep hill and all the kids and grown-ups hang out there and have a blast so if Sam's worker bus that picks him up for work isn't running we are going to take the kids for their first sledding experience. Have a Merry Christmas.

*Emily*

I took pictures of Emily the other day. She is turning 6 on the 23rd and wanted to take some pictures of just her, plus I needed some for Christmas presents. She is growing up so fast and is soo funny she is always saying the craziest things that make me laugh. What you can't see in these photos is she is carrying around my phone because a boy at school was supposed to call her(give me a break she is 5) going on 16. We love her just the same boy crazy and all.

When it rains it POURS!!

What a week, well couple of weeks, Sam went to Everett for a job for 17 days which wasn't so bad he caught a ferry home on the weekends. He got home the day before Thanksgiving and he leaves again on Monday the 1st until the 19th, he is going to San Diego for 3 weeks which stinks because we won't be able to see him at all. Our pellet stove broke ( the main source of heat for our house) The upstairs toilet had to be removed and unplugged because it kept over flowing which wasn't cheap$$$, Our hot water heater went out 3 days ago and they have to order a special size, so we all stink;) My sister called and is divorcing her husband, so that whole thing has been sad and I haven't cried everyday for a week straight in a long time. My heart aches for my sweet sister and her 2 kids, I feel extremely sad for my brother-n-law for what he is losing, and for my ever giving parents who do so much and give so freely of their time, money and love. I am truly Blessed to have them in my life and to be so close to them. Hang in there things will look up soon. The next couple of days can only get better, right?
