ever changing

as usual our future is up in the air. it's a normal kinda feeling. jake has applied for a youth pastor position in the small town of Lynden Washington. it's a pretty cute town. we have visited the church, jake went back for an interview and now we wait...

* * *

one look at this street and jake was sold

and they drive tractors down the street so, we'd feel right at home

moses was sick the whole weekend we were there

it's so close to canada that there are canadian flags everywhere...

there is NO telling what (if anything) will come from this. but, the waiting game is nothing new to us.

super nanny

i've been working a fun little part time job & i am lucky enough to have the most wonderful friend to watch my little mojo while i'm away for about 12 hours a week. they understand each other and are so funny together. it's nice not to have to worry about him while i'm away.

thank you rose!

gone fishin' (and playing)

today we went to deep lake for fishing and other fun.

rosie & mosie racing down the slide:

daddy & solly "fishing":

mosie & rosie spinning:

some more "fishing":

racing to the playground!:

listening to brother:

(i love this picture!)

listening to his response:

going home with a little "wheels on the bus"

family park trips are the bee's knees (those are suppose to be pretty cool, right?) the fishing wasn't great but solly had fun. it was nice enjoying what might be the end of our sunny streak.

mothers day

yeah, yeah i'm WAY behind on blogging. so what better place to start.

mothers day was a nice relaxing day & the grandma's were all out of town or busy so we just got to spend time together as a family. my boys made me a wonderful breakfast, then church, lunch, then we just started driving. we headed for the mountains.

mosey had a nice nap:

solly enjoyed his DSi:

we got a somewhat decent family picture...

(if only i was a photo shop wizard!)

but, mosey and i got a great picture:
(i love this little boy)

a friend brought over they're gerbils for us to babysit for 2 weeks while they're out of town. and the boys are IN LOVE! they just sat and watched for a few hours:

along with all my beautiful handmade cards (& a carnation that solly found in the driveway) it was a pretty wonderful day! thanks boys, i love you all!


love, mama

aka

peek-a-boo

while sitting in the back yard with moses and jake on a beautiful sunday afternoon i noticed two things (one thing i already knew and one thing was brand new information)

1st: my son is ADORABLE!!

see what i mean?

2nd: i can see mt. rainier from my back yard!!!!

(who cares if it's a bit of an odd view!?! it's still beautiful!)

have i ever mentioned how much i love living where i live? cause i love it. sure it's not a perfect dream house...and certainly not a perfect neighborhood. but, it's still pretty great!

p.s. i love my new computer. maybe i'll blog about that next

spring fair...and guess who had a camera?!?!

yay, i just might be making a comeback into the blogging world!! i went out today and i REMEMBERED MY CAMERA!!!
we went out to the spring fair with the boys and jakes mom and we had some fun...until the rain showed up

moses found a chicken man:

then he rode on the carousel with grandma:

solly really liked the reptiles:

solly & i even rode the roller coaster:

oh yeah, jake was there too....
i love my family...we're a fun bunch of nerds!

i'll be back

I GOT A NEW COMPUTER TODAY!!!!!
