Cutest Kids

Ok, I know I'm their mother and I may have a blind eye (actually I have two of them) but my kids are the cutest thing in the world. I got their pictures taken yesterday and they are sooo cute. However by the end, they were not so thrilled at having their picture taken. Fortunately, all other people see are the happy smiles in the pictures.
It's starting to get warm in Walla Walla. I'm sure soon it will be in the 90's and then the 100's which is what I don't like about Walla Walla, but the rest of the year is wonderful weather. I'm glad to be getting some sunshine.
It feels weird to have a blog. It's like I'm having a diary that everyone can read. But I guess that is ok because if they want to know what is going on in my life, they will read it, if they don't care then they won't even bother.
I've had some response from people so I am going to keep doing it. I'm new to this blog world but I think there is a way for anyone to post something on here so if you want to be an "author" all I have to do is send you an invite so let me know if you want to post anything. Just remember anyone can read it, not just us!
Well enjoy the pictures of the kids and let me know if you want to be an author! We'd love to have you join and let me know what is happening in your world.

Starting again...

Well here I am again, starting a blog. I've tried so many of the new web stuff, myspace, facebook and now a blog which as you can see I started a year ago and have not done anything since. However, I am going to try to keep the blog going this time. I need something that is my own and with the cost of gas being so high, I will keep in touch this way with people... maybe!

The latest trials and tribulations in our family is we just spent a week in Portland. Phil had a training class for 4 days so we went with him. Having an extra child (last year we went also) was a bit more challenging but it was worth it. We got to go to some great restaurants and Erik loved the Portland Children's Museum. He also liked the Portland Street car and the MAX which he called "the hotel train" since it was right outside our hotel. We came home for one night and then it was off to camping in our new tent trailer (well new to us, it's a 1978) at Wallowa Lake, Oregon. It rained every day except the day we left which was blue sunny skies. Oh well, it was fun and we didn't get that wet thanks to our trailer with a heater!:)
Well now that we are back, I am attempting to tackle the mound of laundry and both kids are sleeping (or at least quiet in their room! YEAH) I should go.
Let me know what you think of the blog!
