Time for a change!

Well, I have had the most boring hair for the last couple of years, and I decided to change it up. So, I now have Red and Orange hair, WOW! I love it, Kyah keeps touching it and saying Mommy I love your fire hair. We will see what Dad thinks when he gets home...........

Oh My, Home Sweet Home!

Well, believe it or not we finally have a home! We decided to move to Spokane Washington!!! We are so excited we can hardly wait, we only have 10.5 months and we are headed to Eastern Washington. Kevin got a great offer, and he will be proud to be working for the Rockwood Clinic. I am so excited, Hockey will be at the most a 20 minute drive, and we can have season tickets to the best team The Spokane Chiefs. It is such an amazing feeling knowing that we are only months away from really lay down roots with our amazing kids. The kids are excited to move, and excited about all the fun things there are to due in Spokane. We will keep everyone up to date as we get closer.

Making a decision

Well, most of you know that Kevin and I are in the process of making a very difficult decision. At the beginning of June Kevin was flown out to Spokane, WA to interview with the Rockwood Clinic. He had a great time, and was impressed with the Clinic. In March Kevin and I escaped to Spokane for Hockey tournament (yes, no kids Thanks Mom and Dad) and we checked out the city for 2 1/2 days! We both thought it would be a great place to live. HOWEVER

Two days after he got home from Spokane, both Kevin and I Flew out to Aberdeen, South Dakota(yes I said South Dakota), and I know what your thinking! We were gone for 4 nights, and 3 1/2 days, we had a great time loved the city. We were wined and dinned, it was awesome. We think it would be a great place to raise a family.

So know we have to make a very difficult decision. Kevin thinks both jobs would be great! We will keep everyone posted on where we plain on setting down ROOTS.

I have posted some pictures of trip to South Dakota. We had a condo in a amazing old historic hotel "The Ward", we really enjoyed are stay.

He DiD it.

Some of you might have heard that Kevin got the CHIEF Resident position. We are SO PROUD!!! He has worked so hard. We threw him a blue scrubs party to celebrate is hard work. As you can see in the back ground I spelled Cheif wrong, I had to make that sign 5 times(Kyah kept ripping the banner in half). So, now instead of being the Chief we call him our cheif. And now we on the count down for 1 more year here in P-town.

Potty training

At some point we really need to get rid of the soother. We decided a couple of months ago, that we would potty train first and then work on getting rid of the soother. We must have made the wrong decision. LOL

Our Azzy

Yes, I am a little behind! In March Azlynn had her second Birthday( I can hardly believe it). She is such an amazing little girl. She can out talk both Tyten and Kyah. She loves book, could read all day long. She loves to pretend to be me, and help me scold the other kids. She has these amazing brown eyes, that break your heart. She had a great time at her party, she made sure that everyone new it was her day. We had a great time, we rented the local Gymnastic place. We had the whole place to ourselves. The kids as well as the adults had the time of their lives.

Someone was watching over us today!

At about 11:30 this morning, Tyten's teacher called me again, and said that he was acting out in class(something minor again). At 2:20 she called me again, and said "I have Tyten here in the library, like you asked (which I didn't ask her keep him after school). So, quickly I got the girls out the door and on the road. Just about 1/2 way to the school the Hwy was closed due to an accident( which I couldn't see). I called the school to tell them I would be late in picking up Tyten because of an accident on the Hwy, the school replied with a silence, and then" Mrs. Dow, you can rest a sure that Tyten is safe and sound in the library, but the accident involved his bus.

Scappoose School DistrictScappoose, OR 97056
On Wednesday, May 7, 2008 at approximately 2:30 PM, Scappoose School Bus Route #9 was transporting students on Hwy 30 when it was involved in a motor vehicle accident with a passenger car.We regret to inform you that the driver of the passenger car was fatally injured. The driver was reported to be neither a student nor district staff member. The bus driver and three student passengers were transported to a Portland area hospital with minor injuries. The remaining students were transferred to another school bus and taken to their school. School counselors and support staff were there to assist these students and their parents. As of 9:30 PM on Wednesday evening, all students and the bus driver have been released from the hospital.

Can you even believe that Tyten didn't get on the bus, I am so thankful.. And we are so happy that his friends from school are all okay. Only one student from his class has a broken ankle, and some cuts. It's been the scrariest day of life.

Thank you, Tyten for once again being the class clown!!! I love you.........
