2nd day of school!

So yesterday was the first day of school. Hunter did fine. I drove him to school and walked him to his class room because he was a bit nervous trying to remember exactly where it was at. Then he took the bus home. He got off at the right stop and everything! So today he took the bus to school and again he was nervous but again he did just fine. He just needs to get to know the neighbor kids a little better because they also take the bus to and from school. And the boy is his age, but they arent in the same class.
So my last 2 days have been kinda quiet with Hunter is school. Parker is lost without his Bubba. He cant think of anything to occupy his time, except for eating. He thinks he is contantly hungry. But he starts pre-school next Tuesday. So the boredom should pass. And I will get to work in silence! Whoo Hoo!! That is if I can get my computer to start working correctly. I think it has a virus or something and the IT guy at work cant figure it out. Im now starting to get error messages. I think I might have to have someone come look at it and fix it. Its driving me nuts!
As for the camping details that I promised. We had a lot of fun. It was just a long drive for such a short time, but I guess I would do it again. The boys went fishing, swimming, and played at the park. They didnt catch any fish though. I dont think they are patient enough yet. Parker just kept casting and reeling it in, over and over. They had a lot of fun with James (cousin) and some of his friends. We cant wait to go camping more often next summer. And I have decided that I am NOT moving another summer. We have moved the last 2 summers and the move seems to consume the entire summer. I will post pic of the first day of school after Parker has his first day. Im not sure how that is going to go, but we will see.

Found a Pre-school!! Whoo hoo!!

Yesterday I went and looked at a co-op preschool and I liked the idea of it, but the teacher didnt seem all that interested in Parker. So today I called one last pre-school. Its and in-home one. So we went and met the lady today and she showed me what she does with the kids each day and she was much more interested in Parker than the previous teacher. So I signed him up today and he is soo excited to start school like Hunter. I told him that we would go pick out a new backpack and he has decided that he also needs supplies. He wants a pencil, reraser (earser), and a glue stick. And he wants Sketchers (shoes) like Hunter. I think they are too young to want such specific shoes. I dont know if Parker will get his Sketchers or not. It depends on if they are on sale or not.
Tomorrow we are heading to The Mud Hole. Its a camp ground on Priest River. The kids are soo excited to go camping. We got Parker a fishing pole tonight, so he cant wait to go fishing. Hunter wont go on the fishing boat though, so he will just do it from a dock.
Oh and Hunter got on a soccer team. I had signed him up but they put him on a waiting list. They just called tonight and were able to get him on a team, so he starts practice next Tuesday. So everything is coming together. The next thing is to find swim lessons. The only thing I could find was an outdoor pool. So I have to look some more. I thought maybe I could ask the pre-school teacher if she knows of a place. Thats about all I know. I will update with our camping details. Later

School Open House

Today was the Open House for Hunters new school. Its a brand new school. There were 80 gazillion people there. We got to meet his teacher and drop off school supplies, so he wont have to try and carry them on the first day. Then we toured the school. The also had a BBQ but we decided not to stay for that. We didnt want to wait in the line for food with the other 80 gazillion people. So we went and had Mongolian....Yummmmm. The boys actually liked it too.
Thats about all I have exciting to tell. The fair is in town starting tomorrow I believe, so we may go to that later this week. And we have to go shopping for a new tent. We are planning on going camping this weekend with Kris's cousin, Mike and his family. We havent been camping all year so we are excited to go. And we are excited to see Mike, Kamie, James and Katie. The boys will have fun, fun, fun!!

School registration done! Still looking for a Pre-school

Today we went and registered Hunter for his new school. Its a brand new school this year. I think Hunter is really excited to start school again. Plus its not so intimidating because its a new school so everyone will be new this year. The office lady said that Hunter sure is a popular name, he was the 3rd Hunter she had seen that day. And this was at 10:30 this morning. He was assigned his teacher, Ms. Patterson and we got a supply list. Is it just me or do those get bigger and bigger each year? I dont know how people with multiple kids in school do it. I also spent the day calling around for Pre-schools for Parker. Alot of places are full , which I had anticipated. But there are a few that Im going to go look at. The one that is Co-op had 2 spots left but the class isnt until 12:30 to 3:00 and that is right at naptime. I dont think I can change his schedule to work around that. Plus Hunter gets out of school at 3:15, so that would be cutting it a little close. I really do hope something will work out though, I really think that he would benefit from being around other kids and having to listen to a teacher. Plus he wants to go to school (like Hunter) so bad.

Well tomorrow I am heading to Spokane to get my haircut. Hunter wondered if there werent any haircut places here. Its a little crazy to drive so far to get my haircut but after my experiences in Lynnwood, I just rather go back to my same hair lady, Lori. Ive always like the way she cuts my hair and Ive been going to her for 9 years now. So why change a good thing?? While in Spokane I also plan to visit family and a few friends! We arent staying long so I wont be able to visit everyone that I want to, but we will be back soon Im sure. Hunter gets out of school at 1:15 on Fridays. So that will be nice for weekend trips. Thats about all I have for today! Later!!

Nothing too exciting!

Well I dont have anything too exciting today. We just plan on unpacking some more this weekend. I hope to get it all done, so our house can be all put together. We need to go to Costco and stock up on some things ,shop for an entertainment stand, and find the dump. By the time we move again, I shouldnt have any CRAP left. Im slowly learning not to hold onto stuff because I never do find a use for it.

Last night Kass, Ryan, Rolly, and Kahrin came over for dinner. They were on their way to the Oregon Coast. The boys were excited to show their cousins their new house and all their toys. They really wanted them to stay the night, but maybe next time. We arent too far away now. So we will get to see them and everyone else more often.

One of the neighbors is trying to get our 4-plex together on Sunday to go have a picnic at Columbia Park (I think thats what he called it). Anyways, I guess its HUGE. He said it is like 4 blocks long. Its right along the Columbia River. I guess it has a boat launch, several picnic areas, a HUGE playground, and a water park (with all the sprayers coming out of the ground). And its all free. So depending on if everyone else can do it , thats what we might go do on Sunday. That will be a good way to get to know the neighbors and let the kids play. My boys love all the kids that we have in the neighborhood. Most of them are right around the same ages as my boys. So it has worked out great. Well thats all I have for now.

We are finally MOVED!!

Ahhh we are finally all moved and just a few more rooms to unpack. I swear the next time we move (which I hope to be back in Spokane) will be the last move I will have. I will live forever in my next house. I already have a lot of ideas of what I do and dont want in my next house. The boys are having a blast here so far. We have a neighborhood full of kids. Hunter loves that he can ride his bike around in the street and sidewalks. We didnt have sidewalks in Lynnwood. And the heat doesnt seem to bother then too much. They just come in and cool down a few times. Parker has been having issues with all the change. He has been peeing his pants during the day and night. But today so far he is doing good, so hopefully that will pass here soon. My mom came on Friday and left this morning to help un-pack. (Thanks Mom). The funny thing is that she hates Wal-mart and we went there twice and spent quit a bit of time there. Its a super Wal-mart so I have been getting groceries there. I havent found a closer grocery store yet, but I dont mind Wal-mart. They are cheaper than a grocery store. And its really just across the freeway from my house. I can see it out my back window.
So today we are going today to explore a little. I need to get a new computer desk. The movers broke mine and I have to work tomorrow. And we also need a new TV stand for the living room. We didnt have one at the last house because it had a built in place for your TV. So we are gonna go see what we can find today. Thats about it for us now. Just gonna be busy un-packing my craft stuff today and shopping a little.

Moving Update

Hello everyone!! The movers are here packing all our stuff. I feel a little guilty being on the computer. But they prefer we just stay out of the way and let them do their job. The got here at 9:00 ish this morning and it 2:15 now and they are close to being done. They are fast!!! Then they come pack tomorrow morning and pack the truck up. As soon as they are done with that we are going to clean the house and head to Richland. We got a hotel room for tomorrow night, the kids are excited because it has a swimming pool. Then we get the keys to our new house at 9am Wednesday morning. Then the movers will unload and unpack all the boxes. I cant wait for this to be done. And we can get on with life. The first things Im going to do once we are a little settled is shop for a washer and dryer, find the school Hunter will be going to, and look for a Pre-school for Parker. If anyone needs to get ahold of us, our cell # 's are the same. I have our new phone # too but I will send that in email once Im moved. Well I will update once we are all moved.
