B-day Party and Other Stuff

Hey Y'all!! It has been way too long since we have written... I think three weeks. That is the longest since we started these letters back in 2003... I have a great excuse... but that's really all it is. Because it has been so long, you better sit down, because we have a ton of pictures to share. We hope you enjoy! We have been super busy with the house with little projects and just getting used to real life. I guess we could go chronologically from oldest to youngest with some updates. The most exciting thing that happened to me was the purchase of a riding lawn mower. Yeah, the lawn was just too huge to even consider doing with a walking mower so I got on craigs list till I found something that fit in our pricerange and that I felt was going to last more than a week. It is an older John Deere model and run great! I really enjoying mowing the lawn right now, but of course that could all change if it doesn't stop raining soon! I have a video of my first mowing job courtesy of Debbi, but I will spare you that one for now. Instead I will just include this picture of me and Joseph... that is pretty much what I spend the rest of my time doing... playing with kids. Ah, life is good. 2006_07_02_03 [Yes, that is a blackberry he is talking on... you have to start them early you know.] Debbi has been busy... very busy painting the house! She is amazing!! Simply amazing!! I was gone for a couple of weekends and both weekends she painted. The first weekend was the girls rooms (or the princess room as she likes to call it). The second weekend it was Joseph's closet. Here are two pictures of her adventures! She wrote about it on her blog so I'll let you read there if you want to know the details!! 2006_07_02_05 2006_07_02_04 Joseph had his birthday a month ago, but we were in the middle of moving so we decided to postpone his party for a month. He didn't mind because he got to celebrate twice. Anyway, yesterday we had the party for him and it was a blast. We had all sorts of people over and we made play cars out of boxes and raced and played and watched "Mike's Car" from Monster's and all sorts of great things... yeah. Here is a video of the actual blowing out of the candles!
Bekah is a cute as ever. She is actually pretty sick today, but still pretty happy. This afternoon we wrestled around for quite a while, just for fun! She loves to play dress-up still and loves to pack any kind of bag, or sack, or box or container of any type full of little "treasures" and she will keep little pieces of paper for days just because they look cool. She is a blast. Here is a cute picture of her and one of her good friends Shaelyn. 2006_07_02_01 Kay Marie is also just as cute! She is crawling now and hates to be left alone in a room, even for a second. She will take off to where ever you are going crying the whole way. :-) She is also super energetic. She will stand up and jump around for hours if you would hold her... okay, that isn't totally tested... I have always lost interest after about 45 minutes. Here is a cute picture of her. 2006_07_02_02 I guess that is it from us. We would love to hear from all of you! We love and miss you all!!
