Vacation

Schools Out!!

School is out for summer and we kicked it off with a birthday party! One of Jeff's co-workers son had a 3rd birthday and Jeff was asked to be the balloon animal guy :} Jeff made figures for at least an hour and the most popular was a sword. I think he practiced for a good 2 weeks before the party and I have been picking up balloon bits around the house daily. The kids enjoyed the nice backyard and we all had a blast. It was nice to just get out and have some fun without having to worry about schedules and school stuff.

Since the party and school being out we've been gearing up for our road trip to California. We've tried to pack or get something regarding the trip done each day and we are almost ready to go. I'd hope so since we leave tomorrow morning :} In between packing and getting ready we've also started trying out new parks in the area. We think we finally found one that the we all really like. The kids had a blast there yesterday and didn't want to leave. I think half of Puyallup must have been there, we had a beautiful day out.

We are really excited to visit Salinas and all our friends that we miss so much. It will be nice to be "home" for a little bit and we can't wait. I'll be taking the camera so I hope to get some good shots to share. We can't wait and will update you all on how it went when we get back.

Hello

Greetings from Puyallup Washington!

We are slowly adjusting to life here in WA. It is hard to believe that we have been here for almost two years. We are just plugging along each day. Jeff is going strong at United Rentals and loving it. Megan is finishing her kingergarten school year and can't wait to be a first grader. She talks about it almost daily. Andrew is finishing his first preschool year with the special education department for his speech delay. We have made some great progress already and can't wait for another year. I've been keeping myself busy by working for Cardinale from home and doing my "mom" duties. It's not the most exciting of blogs but our life just the same. Laurie called tonight to tell us about blogging and it sounded fun. I think it will be awesome to add friends to my blog list and keep in touch with old friends in a fun way. I look forward to adding to my blog site and reading yours.
