zoo trip

On Tuesday we went down to seattle and picked up Nikota and Kris to take the boys to the zoo. We couldnt have asked for better weather. We had a very good visit with the kids.On the way out of the zoo, as we were heading back to our gate Kristopher dropped his cell phone in one of the cages little streams. It was quite the show, watching one of the keepers try to fish it out. Kristopher was so bummed but oh well stuff happens. all in all we had a good time. Dominic's favorite was the Hippo, Kota's favorite was the penquins, and kris's favorite was the gorilla's I think. Mine of course was the elephants but no surprise there!! Here's some pictures.....

Paragyn lake in Wynthrop and the way home.....

Zues refused to stay off the chair, he sat in this thing both nights we camped in winthrop. It was to cute.

On the way home we stopped off HWY 20 and had lunch by the river.

My aunt brenda and her boyfriend Mel.

Hanging out in Winthrop eating Icecream cones. They had these saddles for chairs and dominic didnt want to leave, he thought they were the coolest thing ever. He was sporting his new cowboy hat and everyone that walked by wanted a picture of him.

This picture is my absolute favorite. When he threw his hand in the air, everyone around us started laughing.

Poor zues had a rough ride home, dominic would not leave him alone but I got cute pictures out of it.

Happy mothers day to all of you moms out there.

This week has been a really hard week. But today is a good day so far. Xena got hit by a car on thursday and passed away. We miss her dearly and always will. We splurged and bought a puppy last night in hopes it will make it a little easier. We ended up getting a rottweiler puppy and carl and kota have decided to name him vader. We still want to get a female boxer down the road but figure we want to take some time with that. ......maybe after siska since she was supposed to be the one to go soon, with her being so uncomfortable these days.

Off to a better note, our new puppy is adorable. Dominic absolutly loves him, and visa versa I know most of you are thinking we are nuts for getting another male, but we are going to get him fixed problably in a year before its a problem. we have been wanting one since Odie and rizz left us. and we hope that since he will grow up with dominic and kota that he will be nice with kids unlike odie. I will post pictures soon. He's so cute.

Well Happy mothers day to all.

I cant believe its may already

Hello, I just thought I would check in and say hello to everyone. I am hopeing to get internet up and going at home again by next week. I feel so out of touch with everyone. Anyways the only new news we have at my house is that carl is working again and we are so grateful. Other than that not a whole lot is new. Today Kaitlyn, Dominic and I came to everett to watch kota play tball. They are playing on kota's Wii right now so I figured I would jump on here quick. anyways dee I have been meaning to stop by this week and visit, I was hoping it wasnt to late to get those clothes for nikota as well. I will keep in touch. well, I hope to have pictures up soon. talk to everyone later.

Hope everyone had a good easter

good times, good food and even better company...... who can complaine about that?? Dominic was spoiled rotten. Thank you tammy for his goodies, he slept with his new gloves on last night. I hope everyone had a great easter. We had a big turn out at my grandma's this year, I got to meet my cousin luke newest addition who is barely a month old and oh my goodness he was cute.


My internet at home is down temporarily, so I will have pictures up soon.

Happy Birthday kaitlyn

We love you, hope you have fun in seattle. Hope to see you this week.
