Yes, We Are Alive!!!!

The kids on the 4th of July 2 families in our ward called us and invited us to go to a BBQ and to watch fireworks with them. All the kids had a great time and it was fun to meet new friends. Where we went to see fireworks they were shot of 200 yards in front of us it was one of the best firework shows we have seen!


Madalynn and I watching fireworks she really was happier she has just started this no smiling phase. She will laugh and giggle at home but in public if someone is paying attention she frowns at them. Everyone thinks she is grumpy but she isn't just shy.


These are the crazy jugs of milk you get here in Oregon if you buy from Costco. We tend to not get them because the kids have such a hard time with the large pouring spout.


This is one view of Olivia and Will's new room, we thought we were going to seperate these 2 but Madalynn is still having restless nights sometimes and we thought for better sleep we would keep them together. They were excited for bunk beds and new bedding. Olivia is like every other girl out there loving Hannah Montana, and Will like always loves his superheros! I will post more pictures of the house when we are a little more put together.


Well we are alive and doing wonderful in Oregon, it is a dream to have James home everyday and to have work less than a mile away. He even gets to come home sometimes on his breaks at night. The ward has been great and I am making new friends and the kids already have new friends with they like to play with. And of course they love having daddy here everyday to play with. Madalynn is still not walking on her own but loves to walk holding your hand so we have her walk all the time we can hoping it will rub off and she will get to walking by herself.
As for now we are enjoying the summer and hoping to take the kids to the beach soon.
