Aunt Jill, Uncle Roland's and Work

Aunt Jill, Daniel, Brett, and us.
Chloe and John being silly/wasting time Luke and John being silly/wasting time :)...Joel looks like he's not having as much fun.
I worked in Yakima the other day. It just happened to be the same day that Brett and Danielle were at Jill and Rolands, so for the morning, John and the kids went to various parks and the Burger King play area, while I worked and then we all went to Jill's for an awesome steak dinner! What a great time!

Badger Mountian Hike

We hiked Badger Mountian! The kids did better than expected. In fact, Luke made it all the way up (800 ft up, 6 miles long), without any help. Chloe and I ran the last leg to beat the boys to the top and Joel made it about one mile, which I thought was pretty good for being 2. The bottom pic is of Chloe after she fell down.

Date at Tagaris

John and I went on our first date last night. We went to a new popular winery restraunt called Targaris. We laughed and laughed at the food, since it was increadibly small, but had a great time. It's great to be able to talk without little people needing you to feed them!

Home for Leave

John got in Monday afternoon. Chloe and two fully-dressed Spidermen and I, were there to pick him up. What an increadible dad! He's done nothing but play, wrestle, and hold the kids since he's been home.

Auntie Holly to the Theater

Here is a pic of my beautiful sis Holly. She's the best and she lives in our basement, a situation that I really love :) The kids love her too. Here is a pic of her before her visit to a local theatrical commedy with her friends.

BBQ w/ friends

Here's a BBQ pic from my friend Denise's house. This group from church is a real kick. Lots of fun people! While we were eating at her house Sunday night, Luke noticed her baby puppies were nursing from the mom. He came to me wide eyed and said, "mom, the baby puppies are sucking the mom's blood!". I guess he's been learning about misquitos lately. :)
