There havent been very many pictures of me right now, because I am not interested in remembering my body being this big again. But here is a picture of me and my friend Amanda Chappell. She is 3 or 4 weeks ahead of me. Tony really wanted a picture of us, so here is all he was aloud to get. It's not fair we are the same size and she is further along.
We visited Spanaway park with our cousin Ella and Aunt Sina. The weather was perfect. I love July. Tj acting just like Daddy.


Cousin Ella, she didnt like the water because it was dirty, who could blame her, there were signs that said stay out of the merky parts, because it could cause itching.






We had a Garage Sale to de-junk our house and ended up with a new kitty. Her name is Tinkerbell, Chloe named her. We also got a new quad for Halle. The whole family enjoys it though.






Halle or should I say the family have been quite the busy. Halle played softball, indoor soccer and outdoor soccer all in the last three months. Dont forget Laney also played t-ball in the same time periond. Halle tried out for a select soccer team and made the A-team. Mom and Dad kinda hoped she wouldnt make it, but Halle is very excited. Here she is in her team jacket.
Her team was selected to shag balls at a Tacoma Tides game. It was a neat experience except at the end of the game the tides made an error and started shouting profanities at the refs, right next to Halle and her friend Graysen. Great experience for 9 and 10yr olds.


Halle at her Piano recital. She played a song from Peter Wolf and Somewhere over the Rainbow.

Halle and her wonderful teacher Jan Brower.



Our friend Preslee turned 5yrs old, so we went for a party and pony rides.





Our niece Kelly graduated from Graham-Kapowsin high school. Yea Kelly. Kelly and Lacey's sister Sina.
Laney played t-ball this year. She loved it, however she does remind us that she likes soccer better.





Laney finally lost her other front tooth. She didnt actually loose it. We pinned her down and yanked it. It was turning black, because it had been wiggly for soooo long.


Chloe our very own fancy nancy. So girly and sassy, however there is this one thing that doesnt quite fit. She loves bugs, frogs, lizards. Yuck. She loves them so much, that sometimes the bugs die. I dont get it she wants to wear dresses and princess shoes everyday, she shakes her hips when she walks and she plays with bugs. Thats Chloe.






Ruston way.














Playing at the park with friends, Gabby, Emersen, Laney and Chloe

Here are some cutie pics of TJ over the last few months.














Halle likes to have friends over and experience interesting new looks with make-up and markers

Halle and Alex
Tj's favorite things are playing ball (throwing, kicking, hitting off a tee), playing in the dirt and mud (meaning mom has to wash at least one pair of shoes a day. and pushing his trucks around the house and yard.

Everytime we opened the door during this very wet Spring Tj would rush out and stand in the middle of it. We are very gratefulll that the sun finally came out and dried up the puddle. Grandpa Jack also grated the driveway, so we are safe if it does rain.








Chloe made it through her first year of preschool with Teacher Patsy. Chloe was the youngest in her class and her teacher said on a few occasions that Chloe was quite stubborn. Patsy used easy terms, but we understand just the same.



Laney learned how to ride her bike without training wheels, and how to ride a four wheeler at about the same time. We tried last summer to take the training wheels off, she didnt like it so much. Now she loves riding her bike and quad. She still crashes alot on both. (drives liker her dad lol)


Our main computer has been down forever, and we have been surviving on Tony's laptop. So we are way behind. Heres a little catch up. For Easter our kids got to enjoy 3 egg hunts and then the Easter bunny came to our house. Getting our kids to all smile and look straight and not cry, is quite impossible so here is the best Easter Sunday picture.
At our friends The Lamb family, we took part in a nightime egg hunt. What a good idea, Kristen. The little kids were in the front yard and the older kids had the big side yard. The kids LOVED IT!

Keedhen Kimball, Halle, Graysen Kimball, and the boys.


Chloe, Emersen Kimball, Preselee Lamb,and Laney



We also attended the annual Rood family egg hunt, we didnt get that many pictures, because it was pouring, or should I say dumping rain on us. Halle had baseball practice so she is missing.
We also went to a egg/Birthday party at the Chappell's home. I think I was a little sick, since it was in the morning and didnt get any pictures.
