I am back.

Samantha and her friend Hannah after a summer acting class.

Zachary having fun in the pool, during Parker's birthday!
Parker is 10 years old now!

They are waiting to trap a chipmunk! Chipmunks got into food and into backpacks!

Samantha and Kenzie having fun at Girl's camp.

Neat picture of the girls, by the light of the lantern.

I could not believe that the temperature got down to 32 degrees, for one night. Very cold!
Camp was fun. I was in charge of a group of 1st years. I was also doing stake business. I am now the Stake YW secretary. This calling will be good for me. I will busy and it will help me to manage my time more efficiently.

Short break

I will have no internet for a while so here are the latest pics of us

We went to Seattle for a dental convention- I love Pike Place Market

Zachary at the Seattle Aquarium
Parker and Jakob make a cute diver and seahorse!

Beautiful fish!


Samantha and Emily

Parker and Zachary

Zachary in the pirate shop! Arrrrrrgh

We enjoyed our time in Seattle. We went to the Aquarium and some of the shops close by, Ye Olde Curiosity Shop. We were also able to do some shopping in downtown Seattle.

On the way home, we went through Bellevue and went to the mall. The girls enjoyed themselves!

We are in the process of moving in! Yeah!

Until then.

Happy Birthday Jessica!

We celebrated Jessica's Birthday this week! She had her birthday on Monday and we celebrated it on Saturday, with taking out the boat with some of her friends. Jessica is now 14 so she is a Mia Maid and she can go to the dances! I don't know if I will be able to handle it.

The Mia Maids decorated Jessica's room.

What a beautiful cake!!

Jessica using her new camera to take pics of her and Samantha.

The house needs to be cleaned up and have a final inspection.

I like the mantle, it blends well with the kitchen.

Jessica my beautiful 14 year old!

Camp and finishing up!

We had some fun with some dry ice.
I helped out with Cubscout day camp this week. They were at the fairgrounds with about 400-500 boys , I think. The Australian outback was their theme.
Here is the girls' bathroom done.
The boys bathroom.
The rec room, with a different lamp, it is better than the other one.
Clean up for the house will be done around July 3. Move in time is coming quickly.

Almost there

I captured a nice picture of the Columbia River Temple, the girls did baptisms yesterday

Samantha and Zachary are pleased with the progress of the house.

I was happy when the toilets were it. This is the cleanest it will ever be.

Jessica took a picture of my joy.

Shower is finally done!

The girls bath turned out nice.

My bath now has mirrors as you can see.
Our builder said we should be done in about 3 weeks.

Samantha is 12!

Samantha is 12 years old!

We were going to have a party outside but it ended up being 70 degrees and windy. So we just had water balloons.

The girls enjoyed playing Apples to Apples and we also played the white elephant present game.

The kids had a fun time even though the cake was a cotton candy blizzard cake. We were on a sugar high for quite a while.

Field trip and recital

I went with Parker and his class to the Whitman Mission in Walla Walla on Thursday. You can read more about it here- http://www.nps.gov/whmi/

The kids participated in a piano recital at the Richland Gardens. Parker played a duet with Andrew. The kids did a great job.

The stucco is complete on the house. The bathroom counters are done and our shower is almost done.
