uPdate II

Well on to Azylnn, who had her 3rd birthday! She had a Dora the Explorer birthday, in which we had a blast. We also we went to the beach the day before her birthday with my parents and had a great time playing games, swimming, shopping and hanging out. So, far the only down part about moving to Spokane is the beach will be a long drive(we will miss that about Portland, so close). She is doing great, more than ready for preschool in the fall. She knows all her colors, can count to 10 and still loves books. She can't wait to start hockey this fall, but for now is enjoying her tap class. She is still the easiest and most laid back child I have ever seen. She is loves her Best Friend Ellie, and can watch Dora for hours on end. She is so much fun!

Okay, so I know it's been awhile! But, we have been just a little busy over the past couple of months, and I don't anticipate it's going to slow down until after our move in July. Yes, we are excited to say that Kevin's start date is July 20th, and we are counting down the days. So, I will start with some pictures of Tyten who turned Eight in January. Tyten finished a great Hockey season, getting his first goal in a tournament in Tri-Cities. He started a new school at the end of January and we are so proud of him. He was having trouble at school (getting in trouble on a daily basis), and since his move he has done wonderful, and he loves his new school! He just started Baseball last week, and hit a home run in our first game this past Monday. He loves it, and can't wait to play again tonight. He is very excited about our move to Spokane, and can't wait to have stairs and his own bathroom(everyone has to have a dream)!

My Princess Kyah Reign.
We went to a Birthday Princess party on the Thanksgiving weekend. Kyah got to dress up, get her hair, makeup, and nails done. She was in heaven. The best day of her life she said. It was so much fun spending the day with her. She is such an amazing little women, loves being the center of attention.

I am not sure what I was thinking, but I made all the kids their costumes this year. They all turned out well, and the kids loved them. I had a great time, just didn't count on them taking so long. I can't wait until next year. We had a great time.

My Man!

Kevin sent me this picture, just to let me know that he really does work! I haven't figured out if I should be grossed out or excited. I can say that I am very proud, he looks pretty good dressed up like a real Dr.

Dr. Dow is the only Dr. I would want to check out my smelly feet! LOL!!!!!!!

P.S. ~Yes, he did put this on, hard to believe!

Well, finally I am going to give everyone an updated blog!






As most of you know the kids and I went to Canada for the entire month of August, yes the whole month without DAD! It was a sad day when we left Scappoose and headed North. But, it was such a sweet return that it truly completed our trip. Kevin's mom Hazel flew down to

Portland to spend about a week and half with Kevin, kids, and myself. We had a great time, the kids really enjoyed showing Nana all there friends, and showing her their school's, she even got to see Kyah complete Drama Camp. Hazel also was awesome, and helped me to decoration for the Columbia County Relay for life walk, July 26. We had a great time decorating in a Music theme(she had such great idea's), and I was able to walk a total of 3 hours, which I think was about 3 to 4 miles in less than 8hours! We all had a great time and can't wait to join a team next year in Spokane.

Well, then we began our drive to the great Country of Canada. We left Portland Friday August 1 and drove to the Tri Cities, Washington to check up on best friends Amy and Craig Jenne who are building their huge house that will finally be done in a couple of weeks(we can't wait, we haven't been able to go for a visit since May, we are having seriously "Jenne" withdrawls! The kids and I took Nana to a childhood restaurant that my Grandparents took me too, the last time I was their was when Tyten was 6month and we went with my Grandma. I loved watching the kids having the same experience that I remember... We then headed to Spokane to show Nana are new home town. We spent two nights, and checked out Tyten's new Ice Arena. We found Chucky Cheese (thank goodness), we check out Dad's hospitals, and the area that Daddy wants to buy a house. We had a great time, and I wish we could have spend a week, but we had to get to Nana and Papa's farm the kids were ready to get driving.

More to come about our Fab trip to Cananda, this was just the first week!
