Kendra's baby




Since Kendra doesn't have a blog I thought I would take it upon myself to post a picture so that everyone can see this cute baby...She is almost two weeks old and her name is Annalie (I am sure that is spelled WRONG...but it's said "ANNA-LY" or "Anna-leigh")

Penelope's Birthday!

Just some quick shots from Penelope's Bithday party this weekend! Malachi and Tucker hanging out!
Everybody played games while Penelope was sleeping....

....and then presents! Fun party!

Fair- Silly pirates!

I LOVE the Puyallup fair! We didn't think we would be able to go on a budget this year but my mom got us free tickets and there was a free shuttle so we didnt have to pay for parking! Well...and we ate lunch at Costco before we left! I love Malachi so much, he is so good to me. I had a really grumpy thing happen to me and he can always cheer me up! We had so much fun!
We checked out all of the farm things, giant pumpkins, the water pump, jams, jellies, honeys, and such! They always have great displays!


....and we went through all of the barns and I had to take a picture of every cute baby animal! This is a really cute baby Cow! WE saw the cows, chickens, bunnies, dogs, horses...

...and this goat? This goat was so funny because all the other goats in the pen were acting goat-ish and this guy was staning ontop of the spindle and acting like he was king of the rock!




Have you ever played the game "pass the pigs" ? I wanted to get a sharpy and draw dots on these guys!



MALACHI'S FAVORITE- The hobby hall!!!!!! If you find your birth year on a penny you get to keep the penny (Ohhh, AHHH)





in the hobby hall there was also a cribbage tournement! Malachi had to sit down and play a game!

And we got to watch a few free shows....

Okay so this is a child's circus and instead of a lion they had a dog, and the guy used a funny voice...however the dog was REALLY good and the act was funny! So we stood and watched!









We also has to watch the Hypno-Chick.....She was anoying and the music was bad- however the show was SO FUNNY! This was a few of the guys strutting their stuff on mucle beach! I wish I would have gotten a picture of the other guys...she said "take off your shirts if you feel comfortable...So as you can see one young cute guy chose to leave his on- the two other guys were BIG FAT HAIRY OLD MEN and they ripped it off like no big deal! It was so funny!




So this was my FAVORTIE show....


So they set up this 10 foot deap pool and this blow-up pirate ship and these diving boards and diving platforms up this pole....So basicly they were just doing REALLY COOL diving stunts- they they would dive together-or holding eachother, or pretend to fall and dive cool...and every time they would do a trick stunt the captain would go "Silly pirate"!


They were obiously all really tallented, but it was very nerve racking for me to watch because all of this is Portible...how can you possibly have somthing secure of safe when its only there for a two weeks.....the last dive one guy did it from 50 ft up----50 ft up into a 10 foot pool!



We had so much fun at the fair this year, we didn't ride any rides and we didn't eat a lot of food (exept for scones and fudge) but we really had a blast spending the day together!

Who's house is that?

Oh yeah its our house! It looks so differnent! So for the past month or so we have been preparing our house for our foster care inspection, this includes thing like locking up medication, waterproof matress covers, and other state regulaltions! We had been working on cleaning getting out all of our children things! We really wanted to show them that we are a safe, loving home!
Like most homeowners we had a few "someday" prodjects... However we didn't have the skills to do them right now....But once we scheduled the home inspection we felt TONS of presure to get them done now! So we called in all of our favors to help us get it done!In ONE weekend it looks 452.8% Different! I LOVE it! This was a sliding glass door that lead out onto out hot tub deck.. "We" Built a wall and put in a door! Doesn't it look good? We got rid of our hot tub (We didn't use it) and now this is a pleasent outside oasis....and we have more wall space in our bedroom!

Last year "we" made our carport into a garage...however Malachi never got around to siding it...so "we" did that this weekend, it make the front of our house look SO much less junky! "We" also presure washed the driveway did LOTS of gardening, and lots of cleaning!
Who needs the DIY show "Curb apeal"...I got your curb apeal right here!

Our flat roof has always bugged us because it makes our house look like a trailer....we came up with this low-cost idea a few months ago and Jeremy came over and worked quickly to get the front of it done for our homestudy! I LOVE it! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!
In one short weekend "We" made tons of GREAT improvements to our house! I cannot even belive it is the same house...There was lots of scrubbing,cleaning, spackling, painting, redecorating, and moving- Not so much sleeping. So our house is CLEAN! We did deep cleaning on just about every room DECLUTERED! I got rid of lots of stuff at my garage sale last month, and got rid of a few thing this weekend. READY FOR A BABY! our nursery no longer serves as s storage room, and there is baby stuff ALL over our house- we are ready!
Thanks everyone for ALL your help- MOM, Don, MOM, Teresa, MOM, Emily, MOM, Jeremy, MOM, Malachi, MOM, our creapy neighbor, MOM, Rachael, Mom, and Mom! I really appericate all of your HARD work! Thank you!
We had our home inspection and it went pretty well...in about 90 days (or less) we should be avalible for placement! I will keep you updated!
You all are invited to come over and see our house! It was so fun to get so much stuff done, I really like our house now...it doesn't look so trashy!
