WOW! It's been awhile...

So, it's been awhile since I've posted anything on my blog. A lot has happened since last January and I can't believe that September is almost over! So, in an effort to keep this from being a novel, I'll just try to catch you up.

June, went to the park and took pictures... only in WA would you still need a jacket at the park in June!

July, Mr. J marched in the town's 4th of July Parade with his preschool class...

...and celebrated his 4th Birthday!

August, went to the zoo with all the cousins (at least on my side of the family)...


...and celebrated Miss C's 2nd Birthday!

We ate spaghetti for dinner, so she is missing her dress, and hence looks a little funny in her undershirt and bloomers.

September marked back to school for J, another year of pre-school (and speech therapy) to improve his speech delay...we still don't know if we'll have him start Kindergarten next year or wait.

We also went to Seattle for a day with visiting family...

the kids loved the BOATS and the water...

and we learned that the smaller crane in this picture is the same as one in CA that inspired George Lucas when he was making "The Empire Strikes Back". At least that is what I think the tour guide said, all of my "Star Wars" friends will correct me, I'm sure.

September also marked my 30th Birthday, which was a blast! Little J took a great picture of his mom and dad before we went out, but Big J is completely against having his picture on the web, so sorry, I can't share it with you.

Well, that's about where we're at, everyone is doing well! Oh, and over the summer I have become COMPLETELY obsessed with the Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer and am counting down the days until New Moon is released in theaters...57 days left!
