Cam's Reptile bday party

So Cam had his bday party yesterday. We had a reptile guy come and do his party. The kids had soooo much fun. The guy played different games with them along with taught them so much about each and every animal. The kids learned so much out of it!! What a great idea for a Big 10th bday party. 8-)

Breanne got another hair cut

Breanne got another haircut and I just wanted to share a couple of pics after she got home. They style it so cute!

Sage and Sun weekend

These pics are all from last weekend. We went to Ephrata to spend time with Sean and the rest of the fam. We went to this thing called Sage and Sun. Something they do every summer in Ephrata. It is really small but was fun for the kids and it gave us something to do. Ryan's bday is on the 6th but they did his party the following weekend so it worked out good since we were there. He had a bowling party and it was sooo fun. I gave Ryan his present early so the kids could use it on Saturday. So that is what they did the rest of the day after we got back from sage and sun. I think they did the slip n slide for 4 hours or something crazy like that. They had a ton of fun! It was a great weekend that of course went way to fast.

Happy 10th Birthday Cameron!!!

Wow time has sure flown by. I cannot believe how fast the last 10 years have gone. My boy turned 10 today. I have to say the last 10 years have been the best 10 years of my life. Cameron has put soooo much joy into my life. He makes me laugh every single day. He is such a happy kid and so full of life! I am really proud of who he has become today!! I can't wait to see what kind of man he will grow into the next 10 years. Not that I want him to grow up cause I totally don't...lol. I just know I can't stop it or make it go any slower. If I could I would. I have loved every day that I get to spend with him. He really has changed Sean and I's life forever. In a great way for sure! Happy Birthday buddy. We love you sooooo much. We are so proud of you. Thank you God for giving us the best son any mommy and daddy can have! We are very blessed for sure! 8-)

Our New Home

First off I have to tell you the story of how we got this home. It has been a struggle finding a new home in Ephrata. It is a smaller town with a lot of smaller homes. It is hard to find exactly what you want. Sean was driving around with his brother and happened to come up on this home. There was a Uhaul out front so he stopped and asked if they were moving in or out. They were moving out and the home was a rental. So he got the name and number of who we needed to call and called right away. Meanwhile they showed him around the home even though they were in the process of moving. People are so nice there!! Sean got a hold of the lady and she told him the rent amount but it was negotiable. We talked her down $100 which is the same as we are paying in Oly. How perfect is that! I went there the very next weekend and we looked at it. Of course we all love the home. The kids were so excited and hoping that we get it. I sent in the application and got told on Friday that we got it! I am sooooo excited. It has a beautiful view of Ephrata and I heard at night you can see the lights of Moses Lake also. I will be posting more pics after we move in. All I have to say is God is wonderful!! I know for sure we are going where we are supposed to be. God has made this whole process go over soooo well. He has really blessed us with all that we have. We now have a great house, a great job, in a great town to raise the kids. What more could we ask for truly. I am so excited to move in and start our new life there together. I love my family and I am so thankful for them everyday. I really do have the best husband on earth and couldn't ask for anything better. He is so good to me!
