Just Post...Just make a POST!

(imagine me screaming the title and then you'll get the full effect). :)

There is so much to post that I don't even know where to begin. So I will just start.

The first 3 weeks of July we were on holiday. (I love using the word holiday as the English do. Don't know why but I do.) We drove up to the Oregon Coast just south of Newport. After that long journey and 3 days there we jumped back into the van and drove to the homeland (Washington State). We were there for over 2 weeks and then jumped back into the car on a Saturday afternoon and drove thru the night back to Cali. We stopped at some Chevron station somewhere between Redding and L.A. and slept for about an hour. Don't ask Jon or me what city we were in because we don't know. Around 11:30 in the morning we arrived at our hotel, I mean our apartment. I say hotel because Lucas and Micah both refer to our apartment as a hotel. If you've ever been to our apartment you would know why. (Disclaimer: our apartment is never as clean as a hotel so don't think that is the reason why).

There are tons of photos and great memories of our vacation on the Oregon Coast and in Washington. We had so much fun with family and friends. The kids loved playing with their cousins and miss them lots. I will post more about each of our journeys on our trip later.

I love this picture of David. He is always smiling. He is 7 months old and is crawling everywhere. Today and yesterday he has been working so hard to pull himself up to stand. Tonight he finally pulled himself up to stand by using a stool. He was so proud of himself. His brothers were excited too.

We are moving on Saturday. We can actually move in on Friday but we hired 3 men and a truck to come on Saturday. We are Excited to say the least. Jon has had a couple of easy weeks at work so that has been nice. He has helped with lots of the packing. Today he did get staffed on a new deal so we'll see what happens now. But he should have the weekend off at least. We'll cross our fingers:)

I need help decorating our new home. I am so very indecisive and can't make up my mind about anything. It is very frustrating. In the past I have decorated basically in the form of kid proofing everything even if nothing matches or looks good. But I do really want to make our new home feel homey. (I don't know if homey is a word. Obviously it is when you use it as slang, "Hey, Homey, Whasup!" You get my point.)

These four little cousins had such a fun time playing together on the Oregon Coast and back in Washington. They went on many adventures together and loved having constant friends and entertainment. The parents loved this too.
