Workshops

   Now that we have finally gotten relatively settled in our new home, and have functioning internet again, well try to get caught up on blogging and post more frequently than has been seen in the last couple months.

   Back in February we started taking the kids to the Lowe's and Home Depot's Kids Workshops.  We initially thought that the kids wouldn't be allowed to do it because of their age, but we later found out that even though they say the projects are made for kids 6-12 yrs. they let anyone do it. Adahleigh and Charles have loved making the handful of projects we have taken them to, and Keisha is content to sit in her race car shopping cart pretending to be on the speedway while they build.

   The first one they got to go to was to make race cars. They had tons of fun building them and continue to have fun playing with them.

   Since the Lowe's cars didn't really have any paint on them, we help the kids customize their own cars by painting them and altering the stickers that came with them,  so they could tell them apart.

   Following the Lowe's car build Home Depot also had a car build and since the kids had so much we took them to it also. The cars turned out to be not quite as cool since they were self propelled like Lowe's. Thus far we have be able to escape the build without too many smashed fingers, I don't think the kids have smashed their own fingers yet.

   Some of the other projects the kids have build include pinball, fortune teller, flower boxes, bird feeder/house, golf game, plane, and tow trucks.

   Her are some other fun pictures that happened a few months back.

Keisha had finally gotten big enough to climb in and out of the tub, and one night she decided that just because mom said it was time to get out of the tub and get dressed for bed didn't really mean that bath time was over. Keisha climbed back in the tub fully clothed to play more.

   As you can see the older kids must have looked like they were having way too much fun, so like usual she had to get in on the action. They may have helped her into the tub, since they like to help her out with things that she isn't quite big enough to do on her own.

    While Charles hair was still long he wanted to have some fun doing it up, so we got out the gel and hair dryer and let him got at it.

    He had to be involved in the whole process from wetting and gelling his hair to drying it. The expression on his face makes the picture that much better.

   He sure did get a lot of height in his hair.

Life goes on....

Quick Update:

Hello Again! We have not forgotten about this we have just been on what feels like a very long extended vacation for the past three months.  And we finally have Internet so we can update,  well that is when we can find our camera cord so we can load pictures. 

We have a lot of stuff we could blog about but for now i thought i would give you all a quick update of the happenings in our life. 

We started our busy schedule the end of april exploring the northwest visiting family and friends while adam had the time off. 

Adam Graduated from pharmacy school the first of May. A couple days before graduation he finally got a job offer! YAY!  Unfortunately it was not in Reno. So we spent the next couple of weeks packing and playing as much as we could.  By the middle of may we were on our way to our new home! We spent all of June shopping, unpacking, and traveling for adam to take his final tests for school! 

Besides our busy busy schedule we have been enjoying our next stage in life! The move went well, the kids are adjusting, were making new friends, adam is enjoying his job, and were all starting to get use to our new home. 

Were hoping by August things will slow down and we will have spent some much needed down time at home! Were hoping to get back up to updating this on a regular basis now that life is starting to get back to normal! So check back in a couple weeks and hopefully will have a few new posts ready to go so you can all see whats new with us! 

But for now you can all enjoy this picture of our little "meesh meesh" who is not so little anymore!
