Hey Hey We're the Monkees, and other fun things from Nana's visit!

If you know my girls, then you know how much they LOVE their grandparents! Well these past two weeks we've been playing with Nana! Here is a picture log of our fun times, and crazy times with Nana!
This is a huge merry go round near the border of Washington. It's in the Mall! Kaitlyn and I went on it!
 Yep! Those are MY Monkees!
Can you tell how excited they are?

Almost time to get started!

AWESOME SHOW!!!
Now that's the face I wanted to see!

And then we crashed!

Elorna and her bright pink earplugs!

They sure slept well that night!



A few days later it was time to get on the road and drive out to Tillamook Factory!!!
Watch out world, this is the view in about 8-10 years!

Elton Nana!



They sure do love those cows! Can you imagine if they were real?


Tillamook goodness!


 Time to say goodbye to Tillamook and get up to Seaside!

Oh yes! Bike cars! This was the girls idea, however they weren't big enough to reach the peddles. Next time I told them Nana and I will sit back and let them do all the work!

She LOVED it!

Super LOVED it!
And one last stop to the Merry Go Round at Seaside!


This last weekend of fun...Oh yes....The Highland Games!!!
Yep! The van was Rockin'! Too bad the rain kept trying to ruin my paint job!

She didn't want to smile. She was afraid it would crack the paint!


Kaitlyn getting her hair done!

WOW! Awesome!

Goodbye till next year Highland Games!


And then it was time for Nana to leave. Parting is such sweet sorrow!
 

Our New Home!!!

The last few months we have been searching for a home to purchase. Finally after  what seemed like forever, but was really only a month or so, we found the perfect one! It only took a 60 day escrow to make it finally ours! For you who have ever bought a foreclosed home, I'm sure you'll understand, or for anyone you that have ever gotten a VA loan, You'll understand too. Well we did both! Here are a few pictures of the place, and the start to MANY projects that stand ahead of us!

Jack painting Kaitlyn's room!

Elorna's new pink room!

The kitchen getting a fresh coat of paint!

The other side of the kitchen, not painted yet.
Painting our room, not the color we thought it would be, but we like it alright...for now!
More pictures and projects to come soon!

Has it been that long?

I can't believe my last post was 3 months ago. The only reason I even knew it had been that long was because I visited a friends site and saw mine on there with a counter! Since March the girls have been to parties...
Had fun at the park with friends....


Enjoyed the last few days of school....
And played around with their best buddies!!!!


Costco of course!

Noah's!

And even in the middle of our craziest time ever, we had a wonderful BBQ with Chris, Brandon, and the girls!

 So far it's been a great summer! Elorna is having fun in Nike Reading club, and We just enjoyed a great trip with Nana! But more of that in a future post! Right now we're just relaxing and waiting for our Arizona transplant friends to come home! Hope their enjoying their trip to the hottest place on earth!
