Apollo's Room!

2011-04-29T13:32:00.000-05:00

Well Apollo's room is officially just about done. It turned out even better than I could have asked for. I just need to have Clint put the trim on and the door and he will have a completed room. Clint had to go do a job this week so it will be done this weekend. This is my new favorite room of the house :-)

2011-01-14T20:34:00.000-06:00

One thing about being back in South Dakota means that we will be having future Willuweit Wrestlers! Youth wrestling has begun so along with Clint helping with the high school we will traveling all over for the kids to wrestle too! So that means our weekends are officially gone until March! It is fun to watch the boys...they try so hard to be like their dad, uncle and Grandpa!

I can't believe how much Apollo is changing each WEEK. He now is on the move. I can't get him always on camera, but when he wants something he will get it. He is doing the army crawl right now but I do have pictures of him below on his hands and knees. Once he figures it out he will be gone. It is so muh fun to watch him.

Look at me mom

I am gonna go here real soon!

Hunting

2010-10-28T15:47:00.000-05:00

Hunting is a big part of South Dakota. Gregory County has a big season called Pheasant Season. This year Clint's brother Justin came back to hunt and he invited Clint his dad and the boys to go hunting with him and his in-laws. Oh my goodness Atlas and Achilles were so excited. They had such a great weekend and they can't wait to go again!

Atlas' Football Game :)

2010-10-28T15:29:00.000-05:00

Atlas had his last football game on the 12th of October. He had such an amazing game. They beat their team 21-0 and Atlas scored. It is so much fun to watch my boys grow and make such good friends here in Clint's home town. I am very thankful for the choices that we have made lately :-)!

My Little Man playing football...it was fun to watch

Okay I will try it...

This isn't so bad after all

Sissy helping me keep my face clean!!

Apollo at 3 months!

2010-08-28T18:50:00.000-05:00

Apollo has reached a few milestones right around his 3 month mark! He actually is closer to 4 months by now but I have so much trouble keeping up! I just weighed him yesterday and he is 11 lbs and 11.6 ounces! I am not sure how tall he is but he is now rolling over and just giggles and laughs at everyone. He loves to be held and watch whatever goes on around him. He truely is such a joy!

Here I go...

Oh man this is work!

Look at what I did...Literally this was his first time rolling!

I got a new Bumbo!

He looks little but he sure loves it!

School starts! Here we are Gregory Gorillas

Clint Decided for the boys birthday this year that he had the perfect gift idea....not sure if he was only thinking of the boys on this one..he he he!! They sell this little motorcycles that go about 47 mph. I can't believe that I agreed to this but it is actually lots of fun. We got it a week before their birthday and Clint and his dad drove it around and had a good ole time. We gave it to the boys on their birthday and the motorcyle would not work :(. So we just got it fixed this last week and boy oh boy do they LOVE it...here are some pics!

Grandpa working on it

Go Atlas

There goes Achilles

I even drove it...lots of fun and not so bad!

Boys Birthday

2010-07-26T10:56:00.003-05:00

We celebrated the boys birthday in one night with one cake this year. Our friends surprised us by coming to visit us for the evening. We had lots of fun...we got to do a lot of boating and tubing and knee boarding on the 22nd. the waters were so calm. I made a cake in the camper and decorated there to. It wasn't anything great but we sure did have fun. I can't believe that Achilles is 8 and Atlas is 11. Where has the time gone??

They each had their own corner of candles

Camping

2010-07-26T10:50:00.002-05:00

We decided to take a week off and go camping. We celebrate a lot of birthdays at the end of July and what better way to celebrate then go camp and play. Wayne's birthday (clint's dad) is July 19th, Clint's birthday is July 20, and Achilles B-Day is July 22, Atlas' B-Day is July 23rd and Karens B-Day (clints mom) is July 25th. We had a great week. We had a big storm come through one night and there were tornado's across the river from us ( VERY SCARY), but all in all it was a great time and loved being with family and friends!

4th of July

2010-07-26T09:31:00.003-05:00

We spent the 4th of July in Gregory with Clint's parents. They have a big parade and then have lots of rides on Midway. We had so much fun. We also had Clint's brothers kids with us so Athena had someone her age to go on rides with. Lots of fun had by all!

2010-06-28T19:59:00.003-05:00

Sunday was such a nice day and we went to town to celebrate great Grandma and Grandpa Kreigers 61st wedding anniversary. Well Grandpa Wayne and Clint decided to take the Harley's to town. The kids decided they wanted to take a ride around the block. So here are some pics!

2010-06-27T15:45:00.002-05:00

Paxton turned 13 this last week :) I decided to be a nice aunt and make him a cake. It felt so good cause I have not really baked in such a long time.

He looks like his daddy..

Family!!

2010-06-27T00:22:00.003-05:00

We have some family visiting from Alaska and then my niece and nephew from Sturgis were visiting also! Just took some pictures of everyone...it is so fun to be around them and the boys and Athena love all their cousins!

Athena and Apollo

2010-06-27T00:11:00.002-05:00

Now that we have been in South Dakota we have done quite a few adventures! One was going for a ride in grandpa Boska's big truck! Athena thought it was pretty cool. The boys were swimming and so Athena and Apollo and I went for a ride! Apollo was awake when we got into the truck but as soon as we hit the highway he was sound asleep!

Grandpa's precious cargo!

I have been giving Apollo about 2 to 3 ounces of formula a day. I am not sure but sometimes he seems more hungry after i nurse so he gets a little extra. I am not a big fan of it but my milk seems to be in better supply when i do this! Of course Athena thinks this is great! Here is my helper!

Apollo does not seem sure!

Priceless

Cheese!

Darn Deer!

2010-06-16T10:32:00.003-05:00

Okay....We have no luck..just the way it is .....
Anyway, We were driving on Monday to the nearst Walmart (which is 2 hours away from Clints parents), and we literally were about 3 miles away and we were on the interstate going 75 mph and all of sudden out of no where there was this deer.....and needless to say we hit it! We are very lucky that she did not come up on the hood of the car cause it would have really affected me. The damage looks bad but in reality this is nothing,....deer normally do lots more damage than this. We are safe and sound and we could drive the trailblazer home and it will be getting fixed real real soon!

She took out the head light

Our grill was taken out by her

And the side is bent back and I can't open the passenger door!

Cousins!

2010-06-02T13:35:00.005-05:00

My cousin Jane had a baby on March 17th.......Bradyn and I think he weighed around 9lbs. He is just about exactly 2 months older than Apollo.....Look at the size difference. Bradyn is a big big boy......but man he has the sweetest blue eyes and he smiles and talks to you....Just love him. We took some pictures of the 2 boys together!

Apollo is not happy...Bradyn is so content

Apollo getting punched in the face....he he he

awww look at them.....hard to believe they are so close in

age....hopefully they will be good friends! Thanks for sharing

your sweet son with us Jane!

Fishing with the Boska side on Memorial Day!

2010-06-02T13:23:00.003-05:00

We went to my side of the family for the weekend.....Though it rained quite a bit and of course South Dakota always has wind......we managed to have a nice day at the river for fishing....The boys from Alaska are here for the summer and so of course my kids are in seventh heaven playing with them. Cousins are everywhere this summer! LOVE IT!

Braven and Athena........She LOVES him and doesn't ever give
the poor kid a break!

Atlas by his fishing pole.....wow he is leaving it alone
for a quick minute! he loves to fish but he is always checking
to make sure nothing is there

Treasure Hunt

2010-06-02T12:17:00.004-05:00

While Maggie and Garrett were visiting from Minnesota Grandma Willuweit planned all kinds of activities for the kids. One of the things we did was a treasure hunt. Atlas and Achilles and Athena love playing with their cousins on the Willuweit side and we wish we would have had more time with them. It will be nice to be living close to them cause Maggie and Athena just loved playing together!

First Clue.....they had to find an egg by the trampoline

Found the egg....reading the next clue

Moved!

2010-05-26T13:11:00.002-05:00

I really didn't tell a lot of people cause it was so suddent, but right after apollo was born we moved! Clint has had a better oppertunity for a job so we are moving to St Paul Minnesota...(lake elmo). Clint will be a independent contractor. We are all so excited for this move. We will be staying in South Dakota for the summer until Clint can pick up a few paychecks. We are staying with family! The kids like being with the grandparents and they will enjoy being spoiled rotten! One nice things about this move is that we will be closer to family! Only hours instea of 27!

Apollo Jordan Willuweit

2010-05-26T12:51:00.004-05:00

Sorry that it has taken so long to post this but we have been one busy family! Apollo Jordan Willuweit arrived to this world on May 13th 5:55 a.m. He weighed in at 6lbs 14 oz. He was my biggest baby. My midwife thought we were insane cause we all commented on how big he was! He is quite little ;)! I had a real fast labor just like the rest! I must say though I think this was the hardest! I had the honor of my best friend to be with me once again! Shelli flew in on Tuesday night and we had him Thursday morning. There is no one better I could have asked to be there. She was there with Athena and she was great with both births! I did a home birth and it was the most AMAZING thing I have ever experienced! I wish that I would have done it with all my kiddo's. I will be keeping things posted a lot better now! Sorry it took so long!
These pics are not in order at all.......

Our new family!

The BEST friend I could ever ask for...thanks Shelli!

My midwife Michelle (holding Apollo) and Sky her assistant!

Baby Apollo

Love this!

just fresh

WOW

LOVE IT

Another Week Closer

2010-04-13T19:32:00.005-05:00

Well it is getting down to the end of the pregnancy! My midwife and I have our dates a little different so no one is quite sure when little Apollo is gonna make his arrival. I am guessing the last week of April. Babies are stubborn and one never knows so when he is ready he is ready. I had my appointment today and all is well. I am dilated between and one and two but my cervix is not real soft yet. I am not quite ready for his arrival anyway so lets just let him roast in there a little bit longer :-).

Athena just loves it when we do this pictures......She says Apollo so so well
and she is very excited to meet him. She always wants to see him and talk to
him. Atlas and Achilles ask all the time when he is coming. It is just hard to wait
when it is so close. We have the car seat and baby clothes washed and I just got
the Cute Moses basket today....it is all slowly coming together.

On average for 36 weeks they say this is what the baby's size is......Not quite sure but a good visual

Easter

2010-04-08T23:28:00.001-05:00

We had a pretty uneventful Eater...Had a nice lunch with some friends and we did a neighborhood Easter egg hunt...all and all it was nice and just relaxed!

Princess Athena is 3 :-)

2010-03-21T22:34:00.002-05:00

So this year we had a princess themed birthday party! Athena loves to play dress up and she just loves all the princess'. I got her a cute little dress to wear and so much more! We had so much fun. Enjoy the pictures below! I also did a slide show if you scroll down for you to see her whole birthday party!

Princess Athena

I went back and forth on making a cake or having someone make
one. I ended up making it and it turned out alright for my first time!
It is cute and Athena loved it! We also did cupcakes to go with it!

2010-03-21T22:31:00.000-05:00

31 WEEKS!!!! :-)

2010-03-08T18:06:00.003-06:00

Well it is getting down to the home stretch.....Not much longer to go. I honestly don't have any ideas when he is coming. It could be May 15th or the end of April...when he is ready he is ready

Edison Carnival time again!

2010-03-08T13:36:00.003-06:00

Every year our school has a HUGE carnival for our fundraiser! This year it was GO For the GOLD since the Olympics were in our backyard this year! If we would have had our passports we could have went......it was only about an hour and a half away! So here are just a few pics of the kids playing!

Daddy always gets pretty shots of Athena :) Her hair is so long!

Playing at the Park

2010-03-08T13:30:00.002-06:00

We honestly have had the best winter! We have been playing outside and going to the park and just truly enjoying ourselves! We love not having rainy days!

princess dress and boots......She is great dresser!

Good ole fat and pregnant me....Clint taking

25 Weeks Pregnant :-)

2010-01-20T19:21:00.002-06:00

Well......I just had a check up with my Midwife. We are all so confused about this baby and when my due date is. My Ultra Sound and stuff say that I am 24 weeks pregnant, but I am measuring 26 weeks. I have only gained one pound since my last appointment so it not me just gaining a ton of weight. My midwife is planning on having this baby the first part of May but we will never know ;). So I could have the baby as early as the end of April to the middle of May. It is so lovely.......he he he! Here are some belly shots of me. I am just say I am 25 weeks! One never knows!

Athena kissing her baby brother

25 weeks!

So sweet....she can be when she wants to be :-)

My Hair dresser !!

2010-01-10T20:58:00.003-06:00

Well let me start out by saying that Athena got tons and tons for Christmas this year. However she got this little set of princess hair dryer, straightner, and Curling Iron and so much more. We have a little neighbor girl that comes to visit sometimes and she happens to like Athena's things to. However, Athena has decided she doesn't want to share. She takes all the toys that she doesn't want anyone to play with and stuffs them in a bag and puts them up hi. Yes, I know this is something we have to work on. Anyway, the other day Payzlee was over and Athena sat her down in the chair and thought it was fun to do her hair! It was very cute. So maybe she will start sharing now ;) MAYBE!!!

I am not sure what Payzlee thought!

Curlilng her hair

So pretty!

Thanks Everyone :-)

2010-01-10T20:53:00.002-06:00

We really enjoyed getting all of the Christmas cards from our family and friends this year. I love hearing what the year brought for so many. I did not get a letter out this year, but all the same we loved hearing from each and everyone. May you all have a blessed 2010 :)

Baby Boy Willuweit

2009-12-30T16:22:00.003-06:00

We are so excited to announce that our baby is going to be a BOY :-)!! We did not tell the kids that I was pregnant until we got to the hospital on Tuesday. Achilles figured it out while we were sitting there and Atlas could barley hold in the excitement. Atlas wanted to have another little girl, but I think GOD knew we had room for only one princess!! I only got this picture so it is nothing great, but the boys and Athena loved being able to watch the ultra sound. Finding out the sex of the baby is so nice. It just makes it seem so real now. We still do not have a name picked out. We would like to stick with the A names and the Greek, but it is hard when there is nothing that really catches us like the other ones did. We will keep everyone posted on names and we are welcoming ideas :)

This is the size of a baby at 20 weeks :)

2009-12-25T22:56:00.002-06:00

Well this year's CHRISTmas has been pretty great :-)! We were suppose to have Grandma and Grandpa Willuweit here, but the weather in South Dakota made for different plans. I must say that this year has been pretty special to us since Clint is working full time and we felt like we could really get some fun things for the kids. We did things with Neighbors today and had Clints associate here and his wife. All in all it has been a great great day and miss all our family in friends in other states! Love and Peace to all!

Our fun day in the SNOW!

2009-12-13T18:52:00.004-06:00

Well I guess it is officially winter time here. We woke up this morning to snow fall!! Of course every kid in the neighborhood was out and about. We had sleds out and buckets out. We even had mom's and dad's out for a fun snow fight. It is pretty to see and fun to play in but man it is cold cold cold and very messy messy messy when it is time to come in the house :) Either way we had fun and the kids are so happy!

Athena pulling the neighbor Payzlee!

Getting pulled!

Wrestling Season has begun :)

2009-11-26T01:35:00.002-06:00

Well it is official...our boys are gonna carry on the traditions of our families.....Yes they have begun wrestling. We have Practice every Monday and Wednesday night. Since they have never wrestled before and their dad is so busy we decided that they are gonna only wrestle a few tournaments. They will do tournaments just for 1st and 2nd years wrestlers. There are about five or six. We had our first one this last weekend. Achilles was to scarted to wrestle so Atlas just did. He lost 2 and won 1. He got 3rd place. We are so so proud of him. He never has done this before and he had a great attitude! We loved it and it should be a great year. Achilles can't wait till the next one cause he decided it will be pretty fun :)

Visit from Grandma and Aunt Gloriann

2009-11-16T18:12:00.002-06:00

I had recieved a phone call from my mom on Thursday the 5th of November.....She was asking me if it would be okay if she came for a visit. Well wow who would say no to that :) She arrived the following Thursday................along with her she had surprised me by bringing my big sister Gloriann :) It was a great trip.......We did a lot of shopping, touring and just some fun cooking and visiting. We had a great time and thanks for coming mom and Gloriann!

Well now Halloween has come and gone........We had a great time last night :) We will be eating candy for a long time :) The kids had a blast and Clint had fun at home handing out candy..........He said next year we need to have 2 more bags of candy....we ran out :( Hope everyone had fun this year !!

2009-10-31T10:55:00.003-05:00

Here are just some random pictures of things that we have done this October :) The kids got invited to a boys scouts halloween party and we carved pumpkins and then we did the kids halloween party :) One cool thing about the halloween at school is they do a parade through town. My kids go to a school that is out in the flats. They are about 10 miles from town in this tiny little town of Edison. So the parents all come to school and line up around town and the kids parade through with their costumes and the parents throw candy at them. It is the coolest and neatest thing I have seen. Athena walked through with her brothers and we had a blast. The businesses throw candy and it is great :) We love our School :)

Achilles' Halloween Party

2009-10-31T10:35:00.002-05:00

Achilles' party was in the afternoon after the parade through town :) His was short and sweet and they had fun :)

Atlas' Halloween Party

2009-10-31T10:29:00.003-05:00

Atlas had his party all morning long at school. It worked out well cause I got to work at both parties. We had a great time. :)

My little Mommy :)

2009-10-20T00:32:00.002-05:00

Athena has become quite the little mommy...............mommy to our kitten "T-Moore" or aka fat cat! She puts the kitty to sleep and she tells people when they walk in the room to shoosh cause the baby is sleeping. She kisses the cat and so on. As you can see in the pictures below the fat cat just loves her life in our house..... HE HE HE

This Athena showing off how long her hair has gotten

Mommy and her baby......why the cat
sits there I am not sure....

Her long blonde hair in the back. I was keeping it
up all the time but now she is wearing down more often
and it makes her look so much older :(

Doesn't fat cat look so happy? Trust me
she is not being forced to stay .......WEIRD~

Fall-Halloween

2009-10-06T20:17:00.002-05:00

Yeah I love this time of year :) So I finally got the urge to go and decorate our place today......I had to find all of my halloween and fall stuff and then off I went to the dollar store to get the rest. I went down the road and bought some corn stalks and now all I need a straw bale......we had fun decorating today :)

Athena being silly......as usual

Skagit Valley Farm Tour

2009-10-04T19:44:00.003-05:00

We have been way behind on our blog here lately......Athena decided to to stick my camera in the ice bucket at the boys birthday party. I finally got my new camera this weekend. We went on a local farm tour this weekend. We got to see sheep and cattle. We went to an apple orchard and winery orchard. The boys made cars out of gords and corn cobbs and Athena got to ride a pony :)

Petting the Highland cows

The Mammoth Donkey

The Sheep....that was a big buck!

Salmon Fishing :)

2009-08-31T23:26:00.002-05:00

Atlas got to go Salmon fishing with a neighbor friend a few days ago..........Man he enjoyed
it and can't wait to go again. He caught the biggest one. He really likes living here now :)
I guess I will have fisherman on my hands now.....Just like grandpa boska :)

Swimming at the lake

2009-07-18T13:54:00.002-05:00

Yeah we were finally able to go swimming :) The weather has been in the 80's and so we decided to go and play at a local lake. There are no swimming pools where we live here in Washington so we have no choice to but to go to the lakes. This one was a little chilly at first but we got used to it. Look at the mountains in the background........Just beautiful :)

We even took baby Paisley to the lake...She loved it

Our kittys :)

2009-07-18T13:44:00.002-05:00

I went from having one kitten to having two kitties......We love them so much and they are so fun to watch.....They roll and play and chase our little kids feets. The one in the purple is "T-moore" and the one in Pink is "dutchess".

Looking out the window...wishing to be out

Czech Days :)

2009-07-02T11:42:00.004-05:00

While I was home we had our annual Czech Days celebration. It is so much fun for our family to get back together and hang out with friends and family that we have not seen in a long time. Here are just some pictures.......I didn't get near as many as I should have :(

were 11 kids running around and it was so much fun :)

Athena is not allowed to drive till at LEAST 30

2009-07-02T11:28:00.004-05:00

So while we were in south dakota at my parents house there is always busy things to do :) My dad has this golf cart that he allows the kids to play with and drive around. Athena was only allowed to be on it when there is a older grandchild on it...............anyway athena was getting off the cart and stepped on the peddle and fell to the floor of the golf cart and the pictures below will show the rest......There is so much to this funny little story but to many details !

Athena sitting on the golf cart with Chester....The keys are out :)

Athena looks so pitiful

She was so sad and hurt and honestly I really
didn't find a cut anywhere. She scraped her lip on
the floor board. But there was blood...Poor little
Athena

Visiting Grandpa and Grandma's Willuweit

2009-06-29T11:05:00.002-05:00

The kids got to spend a couple of days with Clints parents while we were in South Dakota. Of course they love going there cause there is always lots of little toys to play with. It is so awesome that they can go there and do this and Grandpa Wayne and Grandma Karen are so good about letting them do these fun things :)

Atlas has graduated and can drive the 4 wheeler....Just by himself

Achilles got to ride the lawn mower

He is so proud

Go Atlas go

Athena and Maggie didn't hit it off real well at Christmas

this year, but man they were good friends this summer :)

New Addition to our Family

2009-06-14T01:22:00.002-05:00

I can't believe that I have done this again........Yes we got ourselves a kitten. He was free and so darn cute that I couldn't resist. I gotta say that since we got rid of our dog Dahly our house has been far to quiet.....So this little spit fire sure brings a lot of fun to the house. It is not afraid of much and it is quite fun to watch :) The boys named him "T-Moore" but him has turned into a she......I think we will keep T-Moore as the name :)

She is flaring up at the neighbors dog....She is not
afraid of the dog at all :) That is my girl!

Atlas loves this kitty....how long will it last???

She loves to play with my flowers...

She is so stinkin cute

Athena and her Bike

2009-06-10T13:26:00.001-05:00

I can't believe how big Athena is getting. She now can ride her big girl bike :) She loves it cause now she feels like she is like one of the neighborhood kids. She has also hit another big milestone......ATHENA IS POTTY TRAINED :) I did not think this day would ever come ;) She has been potty trained for about 2 weeks. I will have more pictures of her here to come :)

Athena riding her bike

2009-06-10T13:04:00.001-05:00

I can't get the video to be the right way :( So sorry :(

Playing in the neighborhood :)

2009-05-29T19:35:00.002-05:00

Sorry the pictures did not go into order for me :( It was 80 degrees here today :) YEAH YEAH! So the neighborhood kids decided that they wanted to have a water fight :) It is so nice that the boys are finding kids to play with :)

Apparently the slide was the hiding place

Horse Back Riding :)

2009-05-25T21:20:00.004-05:00

We got to go horse back riding today. We had a blast.......They are some friends that we met when we lived in the apartments. I can't believe how much fun the kids had :) There actually is a horse there that they offered to me for free........I am so excited, and I can go ride whenever I want......The kids have places to run and play and just relax. Good day for the willuweits

Little Crabs

2009-05-18T15:55:00.001-05:00

Atlas and Achilles had a hay day playing with these little crabs...It was fun catching them and trying to find one bigger than the last :)

Sand Playing

2009-05-18T15:52:00.001-05:00

Here is Athena just plopped down in the sand in the cold water just having fun :)

Clam digging didn't happen ;)

2009-05-18T12:33:00.003-05:00

So we had been excited all week long to go clam digging at a island that is close by.........We get there and the tide is so so high and there is no way we were gonna dig for clams. There were rocks all over :( Athena fell and cut her elbow and I cut my toe and Achilles cut his foot on the bottom....What a mess. We did have a good time though.....The temperature was about 75 degrees, there was no wind and there was a bright sunny sky :) YES !!!

Athena and our friends Great Dane Bella

These are just a few of the crabs that Atlas caught....They had fun moving rocks and grabbing these little guys :)

Searching for crabs

Athena found a spot and played in the sand

Achilles was trying to build a sand castle but it didn't work here...I guess when the tide is out this is a great beach to play at, but not that day ;)

Our amazing GOD !!

2009-05-15T00:31:00.002-05:00

I just had to add these pictures.....The clouds in the mountains. When I drive the boys to school it honestly takes my breathe away. These pictures don't do it justice, but all I can say is that our GOD is so so GOOD :)

Down Stairs

2009-05-08T13:04:00.001-05:00

Here is a quick video of our TownHouse......Sorry it is messy and not organized yet but it will get there. If you get a little dizzy of my spinning I am sorry. Enjoy and I will do it again when I decorate my place !

Upstairs

2009-05-08T13:00:00.001-05:00

Moving!!!!!

2009-04-27T17:30:00.003-05:00

We are moving again.......YES, I stated that right. We have found a town house in Sedro Woolley. This is the town that Clint works in and it seems to be a nice little community for us to live in. The town house that we are renting is about 50% larger than the apartment that we are currently living in. The kids will have a yard to play in and then right across the street there is basketball courts, and a play area with swingsets, slides and much more :) We will now have a 2 car garage and so much more. GOD really is opening doors for us and even though moving is not gonna be fun we know this is the best for our family :) Here are some pictures of the outside of the town house and until we move i won't have any of the inside :)

This is a picture of the grass that is in the front of the townhouse
This kids have so much play area that they can play on and i can see
then from my window

This is the front of what the unit looks like !

Deception Pass

2009-04-27T01:01:00.002-05:00

We decided to go to the beach again this weekend.........It is absolutley breathe taking but it would be much better if it was 80 degrees. We went to a place called deception pass. It is a bridge that links Anacortes to an Island called Whidbey Island. This is the only bridge that does this you normally have to take ferries to get to the Islands.

There was low tide this weekend so the boys were making a fort with all the wood.

Athena taking off her shoes....She loved walking in the sand...even though it was chilly

This is the view from the bridge....

Another view from the bridge

This is on the beach at Whidbey Island looking up at the

connecting bridge :) So So Gorgeous!

Picnic in the Park :)

2009-04-20T17:02:00.003-05:00

Since the weather was 70 degrees today Achilles, Athena and I picked up Daddy and went to the park for a picnic during his lunch. I just took some shots of the two playing. Athena is officially growing up :( She now swings on the big kid swing set. Aww it amazing how fast they grow ! We loved the picnic and had a blast playing !

Playing in the hippo

Weeee she goes downt the slide

Athena now likes to do her own hair.....She loves it and it just makes us laugh :)

She says "pretty mommy "

CHEESE as always

The Boy's find friends...........

2009-04-20T16:48:00.002-05:00

One day while the boys were outside playing with their friends I came out to check on them and this is what I found. YES.....that is 3 grown men/college boys. Some how the kids talked these guys into playing dodge ball. I warned the guys that they will be asked everyday, but I honestly don't think they care. The boys have a blast with them. It is so funny to see :)

Our Easter Day :)

2009-04-13T14:16:00.007-05:00

We had a very low key easter.......We got up and went to church.....Which was so awesome. Then we came home and Atlas and Achilles invited some neighbor kids to do an easter egg hunt. Well they ended up staying all day and we had pizza...how traditional..HA Then we watched movies and went to bed :)

Easter Egg Hunt

2009-04-13T13:43:00.003-05:00

On Saturday I took the kids to a local Easter Egg Hunt......It wasn't anything real great, but it doesn't matter they had lots of fun :)

Atlas got to help Athena....He was to old to do the egg hunt

Achilles waiting to do his egg hunt....He SO CUTE :)

The Munchkins

GO Athena

Achilles where are you?????

2009-04-06T14:23:00.002-05:00

Here are some Videos that I quickly took of Whale Watch Point. Athena was very independent and wanted to climb just like the boys. She made me a nervous wreck. This is just a glimpse of what the boys were climbing up and down. I also took a video of the waves crashing agains the rocks, but you can't that awesome sound. So pretty....Also Atlas is grabbing his butt in this video and I am gonna show his future wife this some day :)

Lime Kiln Washington State Park.......A.K.A Whale Watch Point

2009-04-06T13:42:00.003-05:00

We were all very excited about going to this state Park on the San Jaun Islands. There was a light house to see (which was very small and I was disappointed), and this is a common place where people see the Killer Whales and California Sea Lions, and Otters and so on. Of Course we did not see anything, but it is just the begining of the season for all these mammals to come so we will have to go back this summer :) We had a great time and the scenery was just breathe taking. The boys and Athena had a great time climbing all the rocks and going down to the water. You can't see it in the pictures but if you would see where the boys were climbing down it was a litte or I should say A LOT SCARY !!!! Can't wait till it is a little warmer and we can go camp again :)

Camping at San Jaun Island Washington

2009-04-06T00:25:00.002-05:00

For some strange reason I can never get my pictures to download in order ;) Well we ventured off main land of Washington and went on a ferry ride to the San Jaun Island of Washington. We really had a great time :) First of all we got to hang out with Clint and truly enjoy him :) Yes, it was a bit chilly in the evening but man we had sun and low sixtys during the day....YES people the sun can shine in Washinton....I was little shocked....HA HA

rising up in the morning...It was a little damp and COLD

Chillin by the fire :) Of course I can't be in any of the

pictures cause I am always taking them ;)

Our ferry

The first of many adventures during spring break :)

2009-03-30T02:43:00.005-05:00

We decided since Clint works all the time we would go and do something on his only day off. Of course we waited till evening or close to it :( We went out looking for an island and went the wrong way. We found a place called Camo Island and wow was it fun. There was a beach to play on and the ocean water was so clear. There are cabins right on the beach so we are renting them this weekend just for a fun get away. Here are just some fun snap shots that we took while on our adventure. Enjoy :)

We don't go anywhere without Athena's Pony

Our three munchkins

Clint on a tree root. I was on it first and he had to

prove he could climb it too :P

I am not quite sure how I talked Dahly into going into

the cold ocean water, but she loved it :)

Here I am on the tree root

Athena's Birthday Party

2009-03-21T00:27:00.003-05:00

We had an awesome Birthday party. We sure did miss all our Georgia friends and of course our family. Athena was very happy with all her presents and will have plenty to do from now on. She has a new baby pony to feed (thanks McClannahans) and she has a new Kitchen to cook for us....(thanks grandma's for the money) Love you all :)
