Weekly Update!

I finally posted 1st day of school pics of the boys along with some others. Some of them arent very good quality, Im not sure what happened or how to fix it. They also are off center which I dont know how to fix, because they werent taken off center. So thats the best your gonna get with this Blog. Anyways, this past weekend we stayed home. Our friends Andy and Jennifer stayed with us this weekend. I took Jennifer to the fabric store so she could pick her wedding colors. Other than that we just hung out. We went and got some wine from the winery across the street from us, and I will have to say it was pretty good. Im not much of a wine drinker but I like the Reisling that we got. I will have to get more since they are just across the street :). Hunter had a soccer game on Saturday, and the coach had decided to hold practice 2 time a week instead of just one. He thinks that they could use a little more practice because they get their butts beat at the games. We talk to Hunter every week about being more aggressive. He always seems to get the hang of it at the very end of the season. His favorite position is goalie though and hes pretty good at it.
Tomorrow I go to volunteer in Hunters class. I signed up to come every Tuesday and listen to the kids read from 10:30 to 11:00. That works out perfect because Parker will still be in school.
Thats about all I have for now. We got tickets to the circus on Thursday so I will let everyone know how that was. Im also going to Ephrata for the weekend for some much needed scrapbook/girl time. Im looking forward to getting alot of scrappin done because Im so behind.

Pre-school is going better!!

This week of pre-school is much better. Parker has the hang of it now! He knows that he is only there for a few hours and that I will pick him up after that time. So no more crying! Whoo Hoo!! He loves the fact that we are so proud of him for being a "big boy". So everyday now when I pick him up he says "are you proud of me?" I say "of course I am". He also loves that his teacher gives him a piece of candy at the end of each day...so he gets to eat it on the way home.
As for last weekend, I went to Spokane last Friday for my friend Kristin's baby shower at work. We had lunch at Ripples on the River, a nice treat from work :) and then I hung out with my dad until he had to leave for school. After that Parker and I went and hung out with Kristin and her son Gavyn, that Parker has named his bestest friend. They had a good time playing together at the park. I stayed at my moms that night and then Saturday morning we went shopping. I got some much needed new clothes and shoes! Kris isnt going to let me go to Spokane anymore by myself...hahaha. Then we went to the fair when Kris and Hunter got to town and met up with my in-laws. It was fun, and the kids loved that they got to see all their cousins. The fair was so busy though...we were there for 7 hours. Most of which was spent standing in line for either food or a ride. Hunter was really brave though and went on some rides that he wouldnt normally go on...and I think he decided that they were fun. He just didnt want to be the only cousin that didnt go because he was chicken. So it was a good but tiring day. The next day we relaxed at Kris's parents until 3ish when we decided we'd better get on the road home. Its nice that we are only 2 hours away now because we can stay longer when we do come to town. Thats about all I have for today.

JT was awsome!

Hello everyone! This past weekend we went to Seattle and stayed with my aunt. I had a ticket to see Justin Timberlake. I went with my cousin Erin and some of her friends. Justin is an incredible dancer! He can really bust the moves...hahaha. He put on a really good show. Id go again and again and again. I just wish we were a little closer! But our seats werent too bad. I think it seemed so far away because of the general admission area was so big (and Im glad I wasnt down there). While in Seattle we didnt do a whole lot. Aunt Rochelle and Uncle Doug made dinner Friday night. Yummy spaghetti. Then Saturday Kris went and had Sushi with Uncle Doug and Hunter, while Aunt Rochelle, Parker and I went shopping. We redecorated our living room so I needed some "artifacts" for the walls. We went to country village in Bothell and we found a little kids area. Parker talked us into riding the mini choo-choo train. It was small and bumpy. But we did it for him because he was dying to go on the train. That about sums up the weekend.
Now as for tomorrow, Parker goes back to pre-school. I have been talking to him alot about my expectations tomorrow. I will take him downstairs, we will hang up his backpack, find his name and put it in the pocket, and then I will give him a kiss good-bye and I will come back to get him in 2.5 hours. We will see how it goes though, he is telling me that hes OK with me leaving him but his actions today say otherwise. He has had a bad bad day. He has peed his pants several times today. I dont know if its the stress of pre-school or what. He has been potty trained for close to a year now so Im just not sure why we are still having a problem. Well I will update everyone with what happens tomorrow at pre-school. And once I find the cord to download pictures I will put the boys first day of school pics up.
