Last Day at Pumpkin Patch Daycare

Ridge's daycare is closing down and today was his last day.. He's been there almost two years, he's had a lot of fun and made a lot of friends.  He also learned many new skills such as using scissors, drawing circles, letters/number, how to fight with a light saber, and the name of all the Star Wars characters..  He will definitely miss Amy's house all his buddies..

Bribed photo shoot

My mom and I were hanging pictures in Ridge's room and all were of him as a baby.  My mom said I needed some updated pictures but I didn't have any, and I was anxious to get it done.  So I said hey Ridge want to have a little photo shoot, he said no, so I said I'll give you a cookies...  He was a good sport and let me take a bunch of pictures but it was hard finding good lighting and background so I had to keep bribing him to let me take more..  By the end I owed him 2 cookies and a sucker but I got a few good shots.







 
 "are we done yet mom.."
 
 Didn't matter if I was done, he was!!

NEW HOUSE!!

We are officially new home owners as of 11/6/13..  It was so nice moving on a holiday weekend and having an extra day.  Daniel ended up working Saturday but he's superman and he was still able to get us all moved over, build a dog run, install a mailbox, build shelves in the garage and organize all the hiking gear and food storage, and in the evening he even hung pictures for me. It was amazing..  
I with the help of my sister got us all(mostly) unpacked on Saturday, then my parents came for a few days and we did yard clean up, trimmed/cut trees and had a big fire.  It was so exciting to roast hot dogs and marshmallows on our own property!  I took Tuesday off of work and took my parents up to Bremerton to meet up with Daniel on his lunch break.  Then Ridge showed them the bug museum, then we went to Mclendons my favorite hardware store in Belfair, the Chain saw place, and a cool antique store, it was lots of fun.. 
I love my new house and it has been so fun moving in and making it feel like our home.  It's different living in the country vs. the city we have a long commute anywhere we go, its really dark (no street lights), and there are some questionable neighbors that we're hoping mind their own business.  But all in all we love the house and the space and we're excited about all the potential and the fun years ahead.
The pictures below are the ones I took way before we moved in, I'll take some current ones soon.
