We are finally checking in! I't been C.R.A.Z.Y busy around here! We moved into our house! The move was really fast and we got the whole inside of the house painted due to some awesome helpers. We love it, but we've had to do a lot of projects to get things fixed. I feel like I personally know most of the folks at home depot now!<br /><br />I've been planning to take lots of before and after pics, but when were in the thick of it I never wanted to stop to take pictures. So soon I will post the "after" pics.<br /><br /><br />We moved in a week before Chloe started first grade. The first day she rode the bus the bus driver dropped her off at the wrong bus stop! I nearly had a panic attack when Chloe didn't get off the bus! The bus driver said Chloe had insisted that the wrong stop was her stop, poor thing doesn't know the new neighborhood yet. I dragged Cavan with me as I ran through the neighborhood to find her. Another mom had noticed her looking lost and upset and stayed with her thankfully.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HaCW7DEYPug/TnasMXG4l-I/AAAAAAAADMo/xnqihcdhGIc/s1600/006.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653895710571534306" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HaCW7DEYPug/TnasMXG4l-I/AAAAAAAADMo/xnqihcdhGIc/s400/006.JPG" /></a><br /><br />.<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ux3nAKcArVc/TnasMLWqfLI/AAAAAAAADMg/DY635Az-hco/s1600/005.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653895707416493234" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ux3nAKcArVc/TnasMLWqfLI/AAAAAAAADMg/DY635Az-hco/s400/005.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W_IqYpsJMAg/TnarR0t0bHI/AAAAAAAADLw/A6epQgLdW8I/s1600/003.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653894704907185266" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W_IqYpsJMAg/TnarR0t0bHI/AAAAAAAADLw/A6epQgLdW8I/s400/003.JPG" /></a> </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>This year I joined a Joy School for Cavan.

Just Megan, her parents and sister....no kids! Needless to say we had a blast. We left from lake Washington, then passed through "the cut" to lake union. Here's bill gates house!</p>
<p>Then I tried my hand at water skiing. Megan made it look so easy! It took several tries before I got up, and then I lasted maybe a few seconds.</p>
<p>We stopped off at Ivars for lunch, its oh so yummy! </p>
<p>We also got to see the famous Sleepless in Seattle houseboat.</p>

There were so many calves in their little pens. I never realized how sweet and friendly cows were. This one in particular was our favorite. Her name was Selene. She was like an affectionate little puppy, I wanted to take her home!<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xz5UIP3Oxz4/TiRc2QA2_5I/AAAAAAAACz4/tWv9UncMQxE/s1600/lavender%2B082.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

It's not working! We are thisclose to closing on our first house. We've wanted to buy a house for years, I can't tell you how excited I am! It's been longer than the usual 45 days to close. We are buying a HUD home (a foreclosed home). They aren't very speedy with their end of the paperwork, so they've filed for an extension. Our original close date was July 9th :(<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />So the house, well it's sort of a fixer. It's got mauve colored carpet and is in need of some paint.

Wow, way to go mom! Better late than never right? My little princess, 6 years old. Where does the time go? People say thay all the time, but I never really experienced this until having kids. She is so big now, and so smart. She loves school. She is doing math problems with ease and starting to read books to me! She's got a little play that her class is doing called the "3 Piggy Opera" She tells me that she really wants the lead role of the mama pig. She says that she sings the loudest and the best so that hopefully she will be chosen. She's not shy one little bit. She loves performing, and making friends. She's a very sweet little angel most of the time. Her sassiness comes out mostly to her little brother. She has little patience for him not being up to speed with 6 year old stuff. She "lets" Cavan play with her, but it's her "game" by her rules. She makes him play my little ponies or littlest pet shop, but the rules are very specific. She choses who he is, and what his toy says and does. I think eventually he will get sick of this, but for now he'll put up with it to be able to play with his sister. <br /><p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MfcUQdG-1wg/TaW81J9Vf8I/AAAAAAAACqE/4rFREfniMew/s1600/chloescuties%2B209.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595085733469978562" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MfcUQdG-1wg/TaW81J9Vf8I/AAAAAAAACqE/4rFREfniMew/s400/chloescuties%2B209.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w14uekFLlwk/TaW80y0uboI/AAAAAAAACp8/ygT8dQTvTls/s1600/chloescuties%2B208.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595085727259848322" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w14uekFLlwk/TaW80y0uboI/AAAAAAAACp8/ygT8dQTvTls/s400/chloescuties%2B208.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NehbD3I8ukU/TaW80ja-yEI/AAAAAAAACp0/AFIk420_TKA/s1600/chloescuties%2B205.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595085723125336130" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NehbD3I8ukU/TaW80ja-yEI/AAAAAAAACp0/AFIk420_TKA/s400/chloescuties%2B205.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4ztS9emfyKs/TaW8noO7PQI/AAAAAAAACps/-NCtTLtctmE/s1600/chloescuties%2B183.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595085501078650114" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4ztS9emfyKs/TaW8noO7PQI/AAAAAAAACps/-NCtTLtctmE/s400/chloescuties%2B183.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-X-K0IBo39ng/TaW8nT9qcPI/AAAAAAAACpk/fuzOdgXYWz8/s1600/chloescuties%2B181.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595085495637537010" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-X-K0IBo39ng/TaW8nT9qcPI/AAAAAAAACpk/fuzOdgXYWz8/s400/chloescuties%2B181.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0ff7oTI9iC0/TaW8necykmI/AAAAAAAACpc/w8mGK-AOMbY/s1600/chloescuties%2B165.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595085498452447842" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0ff7oTI9iC0/TaW8necykmI/AAAAAAAACpc/w8mGK-AOMbY/s400/chloescuties%2B165.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PY6S46QtE40/TaW8nACMAMI/AAAAAAAACpU/hmyrSadjQm8/s1600/chloescuties%2B164.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595085490287804610" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PY6S46QtE40/TaW8nACMAMI/AAAAAAAACpU/hmyrSadjQm8/s400/chloescuties%2B164.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-L5xXBIPR15w/TaW8m7_dAkI/AAAAAAAACpM/ItgRiOKP-xU/s1600/chloescuties%2B160.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595085489202594370" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-L5xXBIPR15w/TaW8m7_dAkI/AAAAAAAACpM/ItgRiOKP-xU/s400/chloescuties%2B160.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3Gd0Gqqw78Q/TaW8AuLUGvI/AAAAAAAACpE/7HFLkyqnYu0/s1600/chloescuties%2B148.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595084832659217138" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3Gd0Gqqw78Q/TaW8AuLUGvI/AAAAAAAACpE/7HFLkyqnYu0/s400/chloescuties%2B148.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9G30mm8bMN4/TaW8AWhv3qI/AAAAAAAACo8/1gGxErgyICQ/s1600/chloescuties%2B147.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595084826310860450" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9G30mm8bMN4/TaW8AWhv3qI/AAAAAAAACo8/1gGxErgyICQ/s400/chloescuties%2B147.jpg" /></a></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p>My little man. Four years old, but still my baby through my eyes. He's really into Lego's, Star Wars, Ninja's, and pirates. Typical boy in every sense. </p><br /><p>He has no fear, which results in him leaping off of everything, and always having at least a few bruises. As tough as he is, he is the sweetest most sensitive little boy. </p><br /><p>He's a very affectionate momma's boy who is always asking for hugs and kisses and telling me that I'm so beautiful and how much he loves me. Every morning I find him curled up next to me in my bed. I'm a lucky momma.</p><br /><p><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-j5GEfsHdcO4/TaW8AFUzZjI/AAAAAAAACo0/Ng604UnKkuk/s1600/chloescuties%2B144.jpg"></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-if0kiGURd3c/TaW7_43SunI/AAAAAAAACos/mAn-Ry495U8/s1600/chloescuties%2B109.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595084818348161650" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-if0kiGURd3c/TaW7_43SunI/AAAAAAAACos/mAn-Ry495U8/s400/chloescuties%2B109.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VqwIzkTzTRc/TaW7_vJZBFI/AAAAAAAACok/6760VHbjnag/s1600/chloescuties%2B104.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595084815739716690" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VqwIzkTzTRc/TaW7_vJZBFI/AAAAAAAACok/6760VHbjnag/s400/chloescuties%2B104.jpg" /></a> Happy belated birthday to the best kids in the world!!!</p>Crystal Claysonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15801495382194727844noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2250405532605664903.post-47249922226137265282011-03-14T16:02:00.000-07:002011-03-14T16:04:43.033-07:00Super Cavan<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tbIELKUZjKs/TX6eyGCmk_I/AAAAAAAACjg/IisqktPU_7s/s1600/family%2B234.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584075171438171122" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tbIELKUZjKs/TX6eyGCmk_I/AAAAAAAACjg/IisqktPU_7s/s400/family%2B234.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ONTbMm3HPSM/TX6ex1ZBDwI/AAAAAAAACjY/vAc46nDHt4w/s1600/family%2B232.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584075166968778498" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ONTbMm3HPSM/TX6ex1ZBDwI/AAAAAAAACjY/vAc46nDHt4w/s400/family%2B232.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tc8HNli5MvM/TX6exb33HiI/AAAAAAAACjQ/fhrz_p5dCZI/s1600/family%2B228.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584075160118828578" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tc8HNli5MvM/TX6exb33HiI/AAAAAAAACjQ/fhrz_p5dCZI/s400/family%2B228.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Cape by Grandma Suzy, mask by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/babypop">BabyPop<br /></a><div></div></div></div>Crystal Claysonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15801495382194727844noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2250405532605664903.post-84110679472716809572011-03-02T13:44:00.000-08:002011-03-02T13:57:01.957-08:00Is it spring yet?I sure hope so. I am craving the sunshine like no other! In the spirit of spring coming I decided it was about time the kids got their very own chore chart. It's been working beautifully with Chloe, she loves to do her chores and put stickers on the chart. She'd make one heck of a debt collector, she was all over Brock when it was time to get paid. I'm trying to teach her that saving her money and buying something she really wants is so much cooler than blowing it all at the dollar store like she wants to. Cavan needs a little helping and instruction, he tells me he will do his chores later when I ask him.....<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Tfysiwy4Sbw/TW67Ct-A6ZI/AAAAAAAACjI/9ptwi1ovi0w/s1600/family%2B056.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579602643732457874" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Tfysiwy4Sbw/TW67Ct-A6ZI/AAAAAAAACjI/9ptwi1ovi0w/s400/family%2B056.jpg" /></a> Today was pajama day at Chloe's school<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LuimRGd49JQ/TW67CSIRXPI/AAAAAAAACjA/V1LNhXystIU/s1600/family%2B053.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579602636259286258" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LuimRGd49JQ/TW67CSIRXPI/AAAAAAAACjA/V1LNhXystIU/s400/family%2B053.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H9OsCEYoTEs/TW67CCVpBFI/AAAAAAAACi4/lXKN5_Qdxc8/s1600/family%2B050.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579602632020395090" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H9OsCEYoTEs/TW67CCVpBFI/AAAAAAAACi4/lXKN5_Qdxc8/s400/family%2B050.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QPoe-YYsd8g/TW67B7YHLgI/AAAAAAAACiw/YObjRzUM5Hk/s1600/family%2B048.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579602630151712258" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QPoe-YYsd8g/TW67B7YHLgI/AAAAAAAACiw/YObjRzUM5Hk/s400/family%2B048.jpg" /></a><br />Chloe LOVES to vacumn and do the dishes, she's so cute.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e3J83YvclGY/TW67B8yEY0I/AAAAAAAACio/2GrMo8q6Cbk/s1600/family%2B046.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579602630529016642" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e3J83YvclGY/TW67B8yEY0I/AAAAAAAACio/2GrMo8q6Cbk/s400/family%2B046.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br />Bone getting his bath, he looks like a drowned rat without his puffy hair<br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CHlQIHtcvK8/TW66x_FwN7I/AAAAAAAACig/VFoiZ_pTj4o/s1600/family%2B043.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579602356270544818" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CHlQIHtcvK8/TW66x_FwN7I/AAAAAAAACig/VFoiZ_pTj4o/s400/family%2B043.jpg" /></a><br /><br />For the kids birthday we went to the Rainforest Cafe with Tayler.

On his first day they had to capture a spider and bring it to class. They talked about fears, and why we shouldn't fear spiders (not sure I was convinced) and then they set them free outside. He was a little uneasy about the whole thing, but it was a neat experience.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TPaAEC4QF4I/AAAAAAAACLs/3Igv8iX63QQ/s1600/church%2B010.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

It's beautiful and serene. I'm really starting to like it here. It has a storybook small town feel. I really don't mind the rain because it's more of a drizzle or mist and it makes everything feel clean and fresh. It can be very gray and dark during the day though which I'm still trying to get used to.<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TK4MGcqn7XI/AAAAAAAACEw/i6qpxZzuy6Q/s1600/hw18.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 376px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525367097743895922" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TK4MGcqn7XI/AAAAAAAACEw/i6qpxZzuy6Q/s400/hw18.jpg" /></a> One other adjustment, BUGS! In Nevada you really didn't have to deal with too many spiders or insects. Now bone is getting fleas which he never had before. But the worst is the spiders!!! There will be at least two or three spiders that have made a home on our front porch at all times. Then on the patio is another spider community. These are not just little spiders, these are big nasty looking spiders!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TK4MFaO84BI/AAAAAAAACEo/Z-bMl3yoxWI/s1600/church+007.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525367079911088146" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TK4MFaO84BI/AAAAAAAACEo/Z-bMl3yoxWI/s400/church+007.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TK4MFBYLZFI/AAAAAAAACEg/zzPDDqp3SRo/s1600/church+006.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525367073238901842" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TK4MFBYLZFI/AAAAAAAACEg/zzPDDqp3SRo/s400/church+006.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TK4MEnBcEfI/AAAAAAAACEY/zW6DOCpMZPs/s1600/church+005.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525367066164204018" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TK4MEnBcEfI/AAAAAAAACEY/zW6DOCpMZPs/s400/church+005.jpg" /></a><br />Uugghhh...shudder....I'm too scared to even attempt to sweep them off so for now they get to have the patio!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TK4MESE_A-I/AAAAAAAACEQ/ulTaE0ao5Gc/s1600/church+002.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525367060541932514" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TK4MESE_A-I/AAAAAAAACEQ/ulTaE0ao5Gc/s400/church+002.jpg" /></a> So I am happy to announce that I am a stay at home mom again!!

Yes she's only just starting school. But for me it's a milestone, one that makes it feel like she's getting so grown up. I won't have her at home with me all day everyday anymore. She's in someone elses hands now, and I have to have faith that she will be just fine. I hate to think of someone picking on her, or not wanting to be friends with her.

We've put a lot of thought into this, and we think we are doing whats best for us and our family. I'm excited to move to Washington for the natural beauty, great schools, minimal snow, arts, sports, culture and job opportunities. Of course being near Kurt, Megan and kids, and Cody, Joanne and Jack is going to be awesome. It makes me a little less scared to move to a new state knowing that we have family close by. Of course I am nervous for many reasons as well, starting over again, rain, leaving behind friends and family, moving to an apartment from a house. But all in all, the excitement overwhelms the nervousness!!<br /><br />I've been reading about Washington online, and I've found these gorgeous pictures that are making me more and more excited!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TD_R_zyzhBI/AAAAAAAAB40/sIN59rm4vQg/s1600/te.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494340964580557842" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TD_R_zyzhBI/AAAAAAAAB40/sIN59rm4vQg/s400/te.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TD_R_e9xM9I/AAAAAAAAB4s/BYK3KlLQ0gU/s1600/img_5031.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494340958989398994" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TD_R_e9xM9I/AAAAAAAAB4s/BYK3KlLQ0gU/s400/img_5031.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TD_R-6opTMI/AAAAAAAAB4k/SW4MwSgdfEU/s1600/img_1682.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494340949237124290" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TD_R-6opTMI/AAAAAAAAB4k/SW4MwSgdfEU/s400/img_1682.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TD_R2cWfK7I/AAAAAAAAB4c/OJDfuba9OZc/s1600/em_fwf_wa_rainforest.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494340803668945842" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TD_R2cWfK7I/AAAAAAAAB4c/OJDfuba9OZc/s400/em_fwf_wa_rainforest.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TD_R1xrMWZI/AAAAAAAAB4U/_-I6PXWdYlM/s1600/dscf4108.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494340792213068178" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TD_R1xrMWZI/AAAAAAAAB4U/_-I6PXWdYlM/s400/dscf4108.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TD_R1jRrChI/AAAAAAAAB4M/CMO3LkA0Mpk/s1600/dsc_4081.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494340788347931154" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TD_R1jRrChI/AAAAAAAAB4M/CMO3LkA0Mpk/s400/dsc_4081.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TD_R01OVTSI/AAAAAAAAB4E/0XHVVoeU2vk/s1600/dsc01650.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494340775985892642" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TD_R01OVTSI/AAAAAAAAB4E/0XHVVoeU2vk/s400/dsc01650.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TD_R0pYsPdI/AAAAAAAAB38/zupuuBXrxec/s1600/_00_LoomisLake_JM.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 275px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494340772808113618" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5PIiGf8dDZ8/TD_R0pYsPdI/AAAAAAAAB38/zupuuBXrxec/s400/_00_LoomisLake_JM.jpg" /></a>Crystal Claysonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15801495382194727844noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2250405532605664903.post-67521096404779671102010-05-20T18:07:00.000-07:002010-05-20T18:32:46.032-07:00my mothers dayI have an awesome husband!
