It's a long one!

It has been about 5 weeks from my last post (i think). Allot has been happening mostly good but some bad.

Let's start with the good. We have been really busy and trying to enjoy all this great weather. We took the kids to Snoqualmie Falls, it was allot of fun did the little hike down to the bottom of the falls and realized the hike wasn't so little and the kids pretty much complained the whole way back (up hill). While we were there it gave me the idea of going back for dinner on Luke and I's 4 year anniversary which was a few days later. We did end up going back for dinner, it was very fancy and delicious. The menu was interesting, duck, pheasant, rabbit all stuff that I would never eat. So I got fish and Luke had duck we both really enjoyed our meals, wine and dessert. Oh yeah we had a fabulous table with a great view and the waitress gave us a special dessert.

Yesterday Aiden, grammy, papa Lyle and I went to Springbrook Trout Farm. Papa Lyle has been wanting to take Aiden there so we finally went. It was a really cute place it had some man made ponds in the woods kind of seemed like someones back yard and a really cool one at that. Aiden got 6 fish within 45 min.

Another thing going on is getting ready for kindergarten, starting to prepare for school supplies and some new clothes. It is really exciting, although I am nervous too because I know I am going to need to start a whole new routine based around school. I really want to make this as fun as possible so Aiden loves school.

Our vegetable garden is growing allot and Luke and I have really been getting excited every time we see how much it grows. Luke even surprised me with some green peppers, more tomatoes, and raspberry's to plant. He is really getting into it, it's nice to both be excited about the same thing.

On a sour note. Luke got injured about a week and half ago. It was the worst phone call ever. I was at work, and he called me in massive pain, saying he cut his hand really bad with a skill saw and he was driving himself to the hospital....probably not a great idea. Anyway he ended up getting ten stitches and the Dr. is recommending surgery because he cut a major nerve. Did I mention we don't have health insurance. Yes I know we are stupid and it is our own fault. Trust me that is all we think about.

Ironically with all our financial stress, I feel like Luke and I have really got allot closer. We try to calm the other one down, when one might be overly stressed. I reassure him when he is freaking and a vesa versa. I feel like our family is closer now than ever before.

Luke and Aiden are like best friends. They like to do the same things and Aiden is now old enough to do all the things Luke enjoys. They can sit and play Zelda, mario cart, and leggos. Aiden really just want to be where ever Luke is and always want to help him with whatever he is doing. Which is great for me because neither one of them care if I need to go out and have a girls night because they have each other to play with.

I have been at my job now for about 5 weeks and still totally love it! My boss and I get along GREAT. I am learning allot but still have much more to learn.

Tomorrow the kids and I are going to the beach to hopefully see some Blue Angels and soak up some sun. Monday (my day off) we are going to this park in Crossroads that has water fountains for the kids to run through and cool toys to play on. I love exploring places we haven't been before so we are really excited. I will take pictures and share them in 5 more weeks =)

I think that is everything. Have a great weekend everyone!
