What a great time!!!

I had the chance to go over and spend a few days with Jason, Gina, and Blair. We had so much fun. Blair is constantly changing and learning so much. The weather was perfect so we were able to spend alot of time outside and we were also able to make a ferry trip over to have dinner with Lucas and Adina. I hope you enjoy the photos and check out the videos at the bottom.

Jason and Blair come for a visit

Jason and Blair came for a visit. This was the first time Blair flew and Jason said he was the hit of the plane and barely cried at all. On this visit Blair is using his voice to see how loud he can be, he ate dinner at the table with all of us and had his own peas for dinner.

My how he loves peas.

Sitting next to dad for dinner.

This is how he plays with his hands in his mouth.

My dad is so funny.

Those baby blues.

Great 4th of July

We had a wonderful 4th of July. We wanted to thank the Butlers (Dave, Katie (Andy's sister), Kim, and Hadley for making the long hot drive up from Vancouver, WA to spend the holiday with us. We had so much fun as all of the girls decorated flip flops and bags and if I may say if anyone is into projects go to Joann Fabrics and get the materials for these projects. We spent the 4th up in Colville in the river and than returned to Spokane for the downtown fireworks and than a few of our own at home around 11 p.m. (your welcome neighbors =) ) The boys got sometime to work on the cars and we were able to enjoy some time out on the deck when things cooled down. We sure had a great time catching up and it made for an outstanding 4th for us.

Kim being cute.

Hadley rocking out with her firework as a microphone...yes she set it off first.

Andy and Dave putting on a small show for our neighbors...oh ya fireworks are ILLEGAL in Spokane

Some more fireworks...I was messing with the functions on the camera, but I thought it looked kind of cool.

Blair in June

Blair and Gina came for another wonderful visit. We sure had a great time. Blair is learning so much and as you can see in the last photos he finds his toes quite interesting. He laughs all the time and is using his hands so much.

Thank you!!!

Thank you everyone for all of the phone calls and cards that Andy received on and around his birthday. You made for a special day.

Gone with the STI

The STI is gone and Andy picked out a 335I. This is one great car. We are headed out on a little day road trip this weekend. Andy has worked really hard with his new job at the foundry and I am so glad he found something he loves to drive....now my next project, how can I get those keys =).

P.S.
Happy Birthday today Andy, I love you.

Gina and Blair came to visit

Gina and Blair came for a visit over this past weekend. Jason was working as he got his first chance to do helicopter patrol (way to go Jas). We sure had a great time showing Blair around mom and dad's and Gina and I got some great time in the sun. Having a young child around really helped me appreciate country living.

I think this photo looks exactly like Jason did in his baby photos.

Blair got to meet the neighbor horses. He didn't quite know what to think of them, but they kept trying to nuzzle his cute legs.

He and Grandpa got a chance to catch up. Blair smiles all the time.

During dinner Grandpa set him up on these pillows and he watched a little t.v. (Don't tell dad) while we ate.

He started eating rice cereal, which he loves and the spoon is not to bad either.

This was just a photo I loved showing his tongue.

Grandma has lots of frogs around her flowers and Grandpa found this one to show him.
