Canada

Aaron and Dustin went to the GoodGuys car show this morning. I think Aaron found a truck he wants to buy! It will be a lot of work like the Chevelle, but Aaron truly enjoys restoring old cars so I said go for it!  We are headed to Canada as soon as they get back from the car show. We are still sitting at home at the moment. Richie will take care of Ava Lou for us for the two days. Unfortunately , I don't think I will see my old roommate , Petra Turek. She lives right where we are going. Anyway, I will post pictures later. We went to a Kangaroo farm in Snoqualmie yesterday and it was crazy to see a kangaroo in Washington! I learned a lot about kangaroos . One of the kangaroos had a baby in its pouch growing. So weird to see. It looked like an embryo still. The kangaroo guy just opened up the pouch and showed us the embryo. So weird.  We also headed to the river to cool off. More adventures await today! Seems a lot cooler today than yesterday.

Willy Wonka Jr. play

The kids are on their 4th day of willy wonka jr. camp. Kingston has major stage fright and had a melt down on the 2nd day. He is excited now though because both him and Kylee got the role of candyman kids. This weather has been an absolute dream! I love the hot weather!! We have  Dustin and Marla and their 2 kids staying with us tonight thru Tuesday I believe.  We will be heading up to Canada on Saturday and coming back on Monday.  I have been cleaning the house all morning, and just finished!  Happy Thursday!

Park ,Tb test , and good luck!

I had to get a TB test to become foster licensed. I got it read today and of course it was negative! I then took Kylee to Bradley Lake park across the street. She had fun! She also has a bit of my good luck as she came running up to me with a $5 bill! She said, "Mom, look what I found!" :)

Chevelle

Aaron drove the Chevelle to work for the very first time yesterday. It didn't break down and made it. Ha ha!! Anyway, we took some pictures of it in front of the office. It looks good!

Thank you notes

Some of the seniors in our ward graduated end of June. We went to their graduation "party" and received these nice notes back. Most of them are going to BYU Idaho.

New Hair

I went yesterday morning to Society, a salon and had Kayli do my hair. I got more highlights and chopped it. It is so much easier to maintain when it is shorter. I love it! She said I looked sassy! Ha ha.

Bowling

We took the kids to Daffodil bowl in Puyallup Tuesday night. We signed them up for kids bowl free and they get to bowl 2 games a day for the whole year I think. We just have to pay for shoe rental and so that was a deal! We had a ton of fun and of course I kicked every ones can !! :)

6.5 miler

I set my alarm early on Tuesday morning to go running before the heat got to be too hot. It felt good to run early and I felt great the whole day. I need to do this everyday! Of course I took a picture!

Target with Kylee

My little Kylee loves to go shopping like her Mama. One of our favorite places to shop is Target. She ended up getting the LOL jacket she has on in the picture.

Bubble run

We got up early this morning and ran the bubble run down at the fairgrounds. Richie came and ran it too! It was awesome! Richie got all moved into his apartment last night and is only 4 minutes from our house! It is awesome!! Here's some pictures I took.

Happy birthday Kingston!

Today Kingston turned 10!!! I can't even believe it. I remember 10 years ago waiting for our baby! We thought we might never have kids in this life and 10 years ago that changed! Kingston was our miracle!! We are so glad he chose to come to our family!! We love this boy so much!! He is loved by everyone that meets him! He lights up the room when he walks in. I really miss him being little and saying " wateh" for water and just being little. He decided he is too old for a friend party now. So, he is just going to celebrate with family. We are going to take him to his favorite sushi restaurant tonight. He was at cub scout day camp all day and then has swimming lessons too! Happy birthday to our favorite boy in the whole world!! By the way, my favorite picture of Dad and Kingston is the one of Dad crying tears of joy!

Kenny Chesney Concert

Derrinda and I went to the Kenny Chesney concert last Saturday night at century link stadium in Seattle. We had a great time! It was hilarious watching all the drunkards. We had pretty horrible seats up in the nose bleeds but it was still fun. I also got free parking instead of paying $20. So that was awesome. I scored a sweet Kenny Chesney hat too! I have great luck , what can I say? We also had cousin Brandon over yesterday most of the day playing with Kingston. They are best buds. It is Kingston's  10th birthday tomorrow and I can't even believe it!! I took a few sweet pics at the concert. My favorite was when David Lee Murphy came out and sang " party crowd" with Kenny. That song is country to me!! I miss the old days of real country.

Cow appreciation day/ Cub scout day camp

We had a fun Tuesday! Kingston attended his first day of cub scout day camp! It was fun because he saw his old friends from the Sumner ward. Tripp and Gabe and Randy Fuller, Tripp's dad was the den leader for them! Too cool! Kingston made me a leather key chain and Kylee a bracelet. He shot a bb gun and had a pretty good time. He did say that all the boys were so immature. Kingston has always been mature for his age. He has 3 more days of camp. I will be volunteering the last 2 days. Kylee is going with me and will be a junior camper.  So, today was cow appreciation day at Chik fil A. We go every year. It is only our 2nd year going to this but we all got dressed up and went for dinner! You can't beat free food! We love Chik fil A!! I went and stopped by our 4

plex to see how it is coming along. The new carpet got installed today! It is nice and brand new!  The cleaning lady was there too while I stopped by. She is making it really nice and pretty. Richie and Kyle will love living there. They are moving in this Friday!!! So excited for them !!!

FHE/ Birthday's /Graduation

We had a really nice and yummy dinner last night at Mom, Dad, and Tammy's. Kingston got spoiled once again. We sure do love our boy!  He needs to stop growing up. Ha ha. Here are a few pictures that I took yesterday. We celebrated Aunt Lisa's birthday, Kingston's birthday and Aunt Derrinda's graduation from Pierce College.

Happy Independence day!!

We went for a family bike ride/run last night on the trail. It was fun. I love the trail and this time of year it is so pretty out. Kylee is a little champ. She never complained like Kingston and pedaled her little heart out for 2 miles! Kingston on the other hand was complaining the entire time. He hates exercise. Ha ha. We put our American flag up a few days ago on our deck. It is awesome! The fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays! The kids are so excited for fireworks they have been doing a few for the past couple days. Sparklers etc.. Anyway, here are a few pictures of the last few days. Aaron's Chevelle isn't ready to drive because he is waiting on a part for the rear end of the car. It is killing us cause we want to drive it! He did receive most of his interior kit though. So, little things need to be completed. Grandpa, we are coming for you for that ride soon!  Anyway, hope everyone has a great 4th today! Kingston is excited his birthday is in 7 days! 10 years old is hard to believe! I can't even believe it!
