Life Lately

So here is our business logo. It's kindof grainy b/c I couldn't figure out how to download it...it was in some vector format and wouldn't upload so I decided to scan it. After cropping it, this is what it looks like. The real one will be in a neat shade of blue and it is clear, of course.
Basically we've been really busy with the business. We are supposed to start framing any day now...just waiting for permits to come through. It's starting to get exciting!


This is a picture of the building. You can't see the whole thing from this, but to give you a better picture, there is another building exactly opposite of this one and it's connected by an archway. It has a matching tower. The tower, however, is all for looks...too bad! It would be fun to have a twirly slide coming down it or a fort up there!

Last week I had the opportunity to send my boys on the airplane to grandma & grandpa Dance's home in Bellevue. I took them to the airport, sent them on the plane, and enjoyed 5 days with just Tom, Jane, and Myself. It was heaven. I was ready for them to come home after the 5 days and they had a blast. Thank goodness for Southwest...$29 each way! We are going to make this a tradition. The boys getting off the airplane.

Grandma took them to Discovery Park and they had so much fun looking for sea life!They will never forget their trip to Seattle by themselves!

So that is about it for now. Jane is getting SO big! I have to post a picture of her soon. I haven't taken any in a few weeks...oh my...and she's almost crawling! She's trying to scoot along, it's so cute!

Graduation time

We seem to have a ceremony for everything these days. Not that graduating from preschool and kindergarten aren't momentous occasions, but is it really necessary?

OK, OK, So they were really cute. Braden graduated from preschool last week and we had the pleasure of hearing his class sign the abc's, their names, they counted to 100 by 10's and then 1's, and they sang a few cute songs.

Then today we went to Cameron's kindergarten graduation where we heard the whole kindergarten (about 100 kids) sing songs and then watched as one by one, they went up to the podeum, shook hands with their teacher, accepted their certificate and stood on the X to take a picture.
They were both really cute and I'm really proud of my boys. They have come a LONG way this year and both really come out of their shell. Don't get me wrong, they are still both totally shy and freaked out at the thought of giving a talk in primary, but it's been so good for me to see them grow up this year and watch them interact with other adults and kiddos in a school setting. I must be doing something right because as crazy as my boys are at home, both their teachers tell me how well behaved they are and plesant to have in their classes.

Congratulations Braden!

Doing the pledge...oops, wrong hand Braden!
