B-I-N-G-O...

There is a mother that has 4 daughters and Bingo was her game-o.
Ok so it is too earlier to try and continue that rhyme and have it make sense. Last night I got to go play BINGO with my mom and all of my sisters. It was so nice to spend some time with all of them. The ladies next to us said you can definitely tell they are all sisters. Poor Debbie everyone thought she was big enough to pop at anytime and she stil have until September to go. She will have a big baby but we all dont' think she is that big.

Anyhow I was the big winner last night. I not only won but I won twice! I walked away with $225. I was very excited. We did get pictures but I am not going to upload them until I get home. Much easier to do this way and show pictures when I have a camera that works.

Rainbow Ring

It is sort of hard to see it real well, but it was really neat. On Sunday while working outside on the shop with Brent, there was a complete Rainbow cirle or ring around the sun. I had never seen a rainbow like it before. So of course I attempted to take some picutres of it. It really was amazing to see and it stayed that way for quite some time. We had gorgeous weather yesterday. I actually put Audrey in a pair of shorts and that in itself was hilarious. She must have walked around the house for a good 10 minutes confused as to why she could see her legs. She tried pulling the shorts down more and everything. Brent and I were rolling. We had to explain to her it was ok to see her legs and where shorts!!

Working on the Shop

QUICK TRIP

Wow who knew 3 weeks could go by so fast!! What a blast CA was. 3Wks in a blink of an eye. Long story short, because Im tired of talking about it, the truck is a POS and the head gasket needs replacing. It is at the dealership and could be 1-2 weeks before we get it back. It started over heating on us and we only made it to the next town over before having to stop. Im sorry to all of our families, we were really looking forward to coming this time, before the heat set in. HOpefully it will get done sooner than later and we can work out soemthing with our prior obligations to be back before May 19 and still be able to come.

Off to CA

We are leaving early this morning and off to CA finally. Im sure the trip will go well and we are looking forward to spending some time with our families. Much love to all of you.

A weekend at the Beach

An Easter fit for a Princess

Our ToyHauler

Yes that is Calvin on a 4 wheeler! and look at the plates!! We are cool!!

This is as you first walk in.

The toy area and living area to the left.

Tuesday morning we went and picked up our ToyHauler. It is so nice and has many many extra's. The previous owner worked for the RV dealer and had it custom built. Brent and I are so excited we can taste it. We are just itching to go somewhere and try it out. We took an atlas out there last night and wrote out a list of places we want to go. We are hoping to take it on a test run April 13-15, so as we know what to expect and such before we go to CA.

Freedom!

What a wonderful weekend. So many great things are happening all ready and more are to come!!

So we had quite the eventful weekend:

Friday: Brent's last day at a JOB! He didn't have to go in until 1130 so we got to spend all morning with him and then Audrey and I dropped him off at work. They were having a party for him and one other guy that was retiring. Then JD hired a limo and came to pick him up at 2. They went out to eat and had a few drinks. I then played Taxi came and picked them up took JD and Heather (a recruit of JD's) to the ferry docks. We stopped on our way home to visit Carl Jantz whom has cancer and was in the hospital recieving Kemo treatments. It was nice to go visit with him, as we had not seen him in a while. Please keep Carl in your prayers.
Also on Friday, Brent's new laptop had arrived so he was up quite late trying to get used to it. He bought a Macbook Pro. Just a bit different from a regular pc.

Saturday: It was an interesting morning as it was not sure if there was going to be rain or sunshine. It turned out to be an ok weather day. We did our errands and such around town and then just sort of bummed around the house in the afternoon. I did a little scrap booking while Audrey played. Brent had an early afternoon appt and I got ready for his party. Dropped Audrey off with Nikki and AnneMaries kids. Off I went. We had a party at Silverdale Yacht Club Broiler (highly recommend it to eat at and have parties). It started at 7 and we had originally planned for 20-25 people to show and got about 11.
It was a great party. We had tons of delicious food and good company. As a Thank you to JD and Ana we got JD a new watch he has been wanting and I bought Ana a nice bouquet of flowers. We are so greatful for what they have done and changing our lives.

Later on in the evening Brent was thanking every one and said, " This all would not be possible without the support and love of my wife." Made me really feel good and loved. This is my Thank you gift from him:
I couldn't be more proud of Brent and what he has chosen to do. Together we are going to help other families like us do great things. Thank you to all who were able to make it on Saturday, you mean alot to us and we are so Thankful to have you all in our lives.

Sunday: We got up and made it to the 8 am church service ( more traditional service) and Audrey was pretty good throughout the service. They do not have children's church until the 930 service, so we are going to slowly but surely get Audrey to be Awesome during the 8 service.

While I went to get us some Chai, Brent and Audrey walked the docks in Poulsbo and looked at all the boats. It was really cute to watch the two of them. Lately it seems I am just dust on the furniture and Daddy is the KING. Kind of nice to have the break, but sad at the same time. I can't even bring her a cup of water, has to be from Daddy. He gets to dress her, change her and put her in the car, and gets all the kisses. It is good for the two of them though. I know she still loves me, so Im not sweating it too much.

We stopped in at the Bayside Broiler in Poulsbo to have brunch, only to have a horrible experience and wait 1 hr 15 min for bad food with hair in it. We ended up not paying for the meal and left. Not letting that stop our wonderful day...........................

Long story short after stopping in at a local RV dealer we got in contact with a gentleman and his wife selling their 2002 Nomad toy hauler. Right price, the right amount of extras (less Brent will feel the need to add), great people, no haggling= We Bought the toy hauler!! Sorry don't have any pictures at this time. We were not anticipating going anywhere after church and ended up going 1 hr away to look at it, drool, visit and purchase. So I did not have my camera with me. We will go on Tuesday and get it. We also needed to give the McFadden's time to clean it out. When I get pictures I will write more about the specs and such.

All in all is was a teriffic weekend and we couldn't have asked for better things to come our way. We are truly excited about our next Journey/adventure in our lives and can't wait to share it will everyone! Loves to all.

A nice Spring Day

I just loved Audrey's outfit today, shirt and shorts from Auntie Debbie and jacket from Us. It was a fairly nice spring day today and so called for a cute shorts outfit. I think she looks so big and of course cute!!Of course we could not leave the house without our snack container and Little Miss Independent has to carry it!

"Kitty"

Audrey just loves her Kitty. Must give him loves before we go anywhere.

Las Vegas

Las Vegas

Waiting to board the plane in WA. This time we used ear plugs with Audrey and it worked great. The flight there was wonderful, she didn't cry the entire time.
This is what you get when a Daddy forgets the stroller. While unloading the trunk into the shuttle to go to the airport the stroller was left behind. Which turned out to be great, Audrey just road on his briefcase and had a grand time. So many people thought it was the cutest. She would wave and say "bye, bye" to everyone as we went by.
When we arrived in Las Vegas they had these scultures on the way to bagagge claim. We stopped to take pictures on them. They were pretty neat.

Kaleidoscope fun

Audrey wanted to sit at the dining room chairs the other day. I think she looks so big in them. She was also biting her arm and laughing about it. She has quite the personality lately.
Here is a picture of birds drying their wings and the water around them. I recently got a program that turns your pictures into Kaleidoscopes, and lets just say I got Luanne hooked as well and we LOVE it! Some say we are crazy, we say creative and inspired!
