Changes

On saturday we finally painted the babies room. You can see why we chose to proceed as we did. That bedroom was ugly. Here are the before and after pictures.


There is still work to be done in the room, but I would say we've got a good start.

Here is a picture of Khia (which she told me not to post) but I figured everyone needed to know what she looked like at 27 weeks pregnant. Love ya hun!

I think the picture says enough...

This past weekend we had the blessing to be able to attend a most wonderful event. I have to do some explaining first as to why this weekend was a platter full of happiness. We have been collecting the Cosby Show on DVD since we have been married and we currently have seasons 1-5. But that is not all. Every morning we wake up around 5:30 to get ready for work and the T.V. is kind enough to play the Cosby Show on a channel that we get at 6:00 am and 6:30 am. We pour ourselves a bowl of cereal and sit ourselves down to start the day off right. We usually just listen to the 6:30 show though as we get ready. Bill Cosby is the cure for cancer. So, this past weekend we sadly drove down to Portland and sadly walked into the Schnitzer Hall and sadly sat down in our seats and cried as our favorite parenting advisor Bill Cosby walked out onto the stage. He is 72 years old. Gray hair making the most of his head. But even at 72 his facial expressions were ever so colorful. We finally stopped crying as he started telling his stories. We laughed and cheered and by the end of the 2 hours we were crying again. We are now back home to living our lives abiding by his teachings. May his humor continue to grace our lives.

New Posts Coming!!!

Ok, so after my 6+ month slacking period, I'm back! Joseph and I are re-committing to get this blog up and current. It's a work in progress right now, but stay tuned and we'll get it all fixed up.

P.S. If anyone can teach us how to make the fonts different colors and look all neat we would love it!

SUMMER!!!

So, it's been awhile, but I'll try and quickly catch you up with what is going on with us. We have made it back home to Seattle, WA and we love it!!! We love how green and pretty it is. We were initially going to live in Sumner in an apt, but that didn't work out. Instead, we are living in Joseph's grandparents basement and we couldn't be happier about it. We are learning so much from them. They have so much life experience and such great stories, that we feel like we could sit and listen to them forever.
We are both working right now. I work for my grandparents company doing the bidding for a rebar installation company and I love it! There is so much to learn and it's really exciting! It gets really stressful sometimes and for the last week my left eye has developed a twitch. I'm going to have to figure out how to handle it better...or maybe just get an eye patch. Joseph is doing his internship at a company called DMI Drilling. He is enjoying learning all the different aspects of a sub-contractor. The people he works with are really nice and he has been able to go on some fun trips. He ended up in Forks one week for a job they were doing. I was so jealous.
Here are some pics we've taken over that last little while.


This is one picture he took while he was there. He really enjoyed seeing this area of Washinton and how beautiful it was.


This is an enormous bee we caught while staying at Joesph's parents house while they were out of town. I know it looks a little like a spider in this pic, but it's a bee I swear! I have never seen one that big! It was almost as big as the comic strip!


We went putt putt golfing the other day and it was so fun! This is my amazing hole-in-one!


They had a funny uphill hole where Carmen would play look-out and tell us if our ball made it to the top or that we needed to stop if from rolling down to the parking lot as it came back at us!


At the end of the game the guy gave us all ribbons for the place we took...guess who's not on the podium.



It's been a pretty fun summer so far! And it's barely even started! We can't wait to see what else we come up with!
