One Year today!

As of one year ago on the 20th our purchase of our home in Washington was being recorded. One year later I have enough cleared in the Garage to get the van in and close the door. Still so much to move store and de junk that it will probably take another year to get the other half cleared.

First Time For everything

Against John's wishes I am starting this blog. Don't know how well I will keep at it for most journaling I fail at. Today is Tracen's birthday and yesterday was Daniel's. David and Alysa had their 12th Anniversary yesterday as well, hope they had a good day.

We had Daniel's birthday party here it was nice. All the kids were playing tag your it and I started playing a little with Eric when he informed me that I was not playing he said "You're not playing tag your it, I am playing tag your it with my friends".

Ethan turned 18 months and into nursery he went loving and helping and sitting better than some of the other kids that have been in there for at least 5 months or more than him.

Evan loves having Thomas over to play. It gives him someone his size to play with that his sister can't control.

Ashley had her first sleepover here at home with Hannah "no mom and dad" it was fun for her.


Ashley, Evan, and Eric started Swimming lessons on the 28th. They have had 2 lessons now and it is fun to watch them with different personalities and experience how they are doing. Ashley is doing very well, getting a recap of the things that she knows and how to do new stuff. Evan cried the first time and the second he didn't cry but still hung on for dear life. Eric wasn't sure of the start, but he did everything the instructor asked of him. Ethan Loves the water but unfortunately he gets to sit with more for an hour while the others get their 1/2 hour in the water.

Life is good, the Gospel is True, we sometimes have personality conflicts but look beyond or around those people and do what you can to be happy.
