Vacation was over it was time to go home

We had a great time at Poulsbo Inn

This last weekend we went to my mom's side Family Reunion in "Indianola". For those of you who have never heard of Indianola it's just outside of Poulsbo. Every year they have "Indianola Days" It's where people build amazing sand castles, eat salmon, play games, and much more. The main reason we were there this year was for my cousin Emily,Bruce, and little Hannah. In the epistical church you are baptised as an infant mostly so when the tide was out my Aunt Kate who is a priest baptised her. It was so beautiful and special.

Thank you for having us apart of your special day Motter Family. We love you and missed those that couldn't be there.

I love you "punkin"

It's hard to believe that 4 years ago today we were in the Portland Temple knowing that from that day on we will be together for eternity. In 4 years we have accomplished so much with eachother we have two beautiful children, a house, and so much more. I am so happy to be married to the most amazing, honest, hard working, sexy, and best daddy and husband ever. I love you sweetheart so much.

Happy Anniversary

Britney's Visit

This last week we were able to meet my brother Adam's "girlfriend" Britney she is from Pennsylvania. From chatting with her on facebook I could tell that we would get along well not to mention that she is beautiful and makes Adam sooooo happy. From the moment she arrived she was friendly with the kids and very outgoing. We took them to Ivars for dinner and the Mariners game which was way fun. On Tues we all went to Snoqualmie Falls which they loved. We had a great time with them and can't wait to see her again in Sept. We love and miss you Britney.

4th of July

We had a great time this year with friends/family, We went to the Johnson/Wooley BBQ, later that night at the Bailey's/Simon's for a dinner BBQ, and than watched our guys be kids and set off fireworks. Later that night we went home and did some of our own. I soon found out that Maddie is a "Pyro" (sp) She loves the sparklers and especially the roman candles which she wanted to do herself.

Getting ready for the "Party"

This last weekend we went to Vancouver for my HS reunion. We started out the night going to a little Italian Restaurant in Portland, and than off to the Red hook Brewery". We had a great time or should I say "I" had a great time. Unfortunately for Chad he didn't know too many people so he was my photographer and by my side through the night. "What a trooper he was." It was so much fun hanging with my girlfriends and catching up with people that I hadn't seen in 10 years.

What a fun reunion see you all in 10 years.

Father's Day

Chad had a great Father's Day this year from being pampered with eggs benedict to watching sports and getting a special present from his little girl. As you can tell by the picture Nana thought she would make it very pretty for daddy but instead she just wanted it for herself.

Happy Fathers Day We love you!!!

Let the process begin...

Today I made the final decision that it was time for Madelyn to potty train. After many weeks of her digging in her diaper and pulling out a surprise for me I have had enough. So today when she woke up we put on her Elmo panties and began the process. So far nothing has happened in the toilet but 3 spills on the floor and chair. She loves to sit on the potty but just won't go... She is now down for a nap and in 2 hours we continue on. I am looking for advice and lots of it. So anything will help thanks.....
