crazy house

So for all you that have seen on face book I have posted that we have a new dishwasher as well as washing machine and dryer. Here is the story behind our crazy month. Our dyer has been slowly dieing on us for a while it just got to the point it took 3 hours to dry a small load of clothes and then the washing machine started to grind like crazy. We went to go look and walked out with the receipt for them they are front loaders and we love them.


As for the dishwasher. We have been teaching the kids to help out with the jobs around the house. Cristian really likes to stand on the door and help unload the dishes and also play with the dish soap cover. I guess that him and Brie was fighting over shutting the cover so it would lock well it would not lock after that. Come to find out that when we pulled out the dishwasher it what the original that was placed in the house when it was built in 1982. lets just say yuck know wonder we had to clean the dishes and then run them through.

So need less to say this house will have all new appliances for us until we move when ever that is. We are waiting for the MEPS guy to pre approve Josh for the Army.

Well we heard back from the MEPS guy and we need to get a nero exam for Josh that is with in the last 12 months. so now we are trying to see what we can do.

Race time is almost here

You know it is getting close to race time when you see race cars all over town.

The race is the weekend of May 29th and 30th. But activities start this weekend.
Cristian LOVES the cars "oom- oom" every time he sees a car.

Kaelobbe's Pinewood Durby

This car comes with the procrastination of Josh and Kaelobbe. They really got to work on the car Sunday. Finished up with the caving Monday. Painted Tuesday. Put the wheels on 1 1/2 hours before the race and we brake the front left axle off the car. Thanks to Gorilla Glue, a clap, and a hour to dry we made it through all 3 heats. The car only weighed in at 3.89 grams we could have added a whole gram more but we did not want anything else to happen.

Way to go Kaelobbe on your 1st pinewood derby. We are so proud of you.

10th anniversary

This morning I woke up to Cristian crying realized that Josh had got up. I went down stair and in to the kitchen.There was Josh. He asks me what time I got up to get Kaelobbe up and I said not for another 15 minutes. He then tell me that I ruined the surprise. He was making me breakfast in bed. So he sent me back to bed so that he could let me enjoy the thought.



The pink rose was on my breakfast tray and the dozen red roses where waiting down stairs for me.Josh made fresh blueberry pancakes, sausage, and a egg for breakfast with ruby red grapefruit juice. I was in heaven.

Then Josh, Jonathan, Cristian, and I all enjoyed washing Josh's car. We had loads of fun watching Cristian spray himself in the face with the hose. Josh and I got cleaned up and then we went out to dinner.

Me before we left for dinner

We ate at Ginza's. We love that place. Josh had Octopus Salad, Sushi, and the Scallop dinner (fried rice, veggies, shrimp, and his scallops plus onion soup, and a salad)I enjoyed the Ginger Chicken dinner (it came with the same as Josh's except for the scallops.) they were go good and a lot of food. yeah lunch for tomorrow. Yum.
