Testing the Camera...getting ready for our Christmas picture
Yesterday we had dinner in Yelm to celebrate Steve's 35th Birthday as Casa Mia. Later that night we went back to Jen's and Steve's place for cake and took some pics. I'd say that these turned out pretty well considering that we are not quite professionals yet. Of course my favorite ones are the ones with the kids and of Jeff. My family is so beautiful!!!

House Changes
So far we have most of the house finished. We still have to paint the bathrooms and the stairs. Once we paint what's left we will have painted every wall in this house. We are trying to put some finishing touches in the rooms to add a little more personality, but that will take time. I'll will try to post more pics up when rooms are clean and presentable.

New Home
These are the before shots of our house. The carpet needs to be replaced, hardwood refinished, and the walls needed to be painted. But definitely lots of potential.

Update
So a lot has happened since Memorial Day!! Sorry for not keeping up with the posts. My laptop crashed and I really didn't want to learn how to use the desktop. So the big news...Jeff and I got married! Just kidding. I'm still waiting for the ring. LOL. But on a more serious note. We did move into our very own home this summer. Lots of painting and cleaning. It's still a work in progress, but at least we're moving right along. I got into the ADN bridge program and will done by the Summer. Kai is growing everyday and Ariana is turning more into a "Miss Diva, Drama Queen". Jeff is looking forward to Ariana's pre-teen year.

Memorial Day Weekend
We had a pretty amazing Memorial Day weekend. The only thing that could have made it better is if Steve could have been in town to enjoy it with us.
So, we had a completely FULL agenda these last few days. After work and dance practice on Friday, we went to Mama and Papa's house so we could get up early to launch the boat. We were suppose to wake up at 3-4am (that didn't happen), but we did make it out of the house by 9-ish.
Day 1 of our little adventure included cruisin the Sound and going to a Mariner's game later that night. It was so nice because we just docked the boat at Bell Harbor Marina in Seattle and walked to Safeco Feild for the game.
On the boat before the game.
This was the Kid's first time ever to a baseball game. All the food, people and commotion got Kai really, REALLY hyper. He was talking to random people and taking pictures and video of the folks sitting behind us. Good thing they didn't seem to mind. Overall, I think they had a good time.
Our seats were great too. 151-38-seats 7-15. Not too shabby. Thanks Mom and Pops.
It was crazy how the crowd went nuts every time Griffey Jr or Ichiro came up to bat. But that didn't matter, the Mariners lost 5-1. Better luck next time.
Day 2, included a delicious breakfast on the boat and a ride to American lake. The weather was perfect, the water was freezing, but everyone had a blast. Jeff was going to look for the ring he lost during our last visit to American lake, but didn't get the chance. He didn't pass up the opportunity to play with the snorkel gear though. It was so funny because Jeff was cleaning the side of the boat while swimming in the water. He looked like our little "Manny". Hahahe.... Ariana and Kai even got in the water. We tried to entice Caleb, but he just wasn't havin it, who could blame him though, the water almost put me to shock.
I wonder, can dogs get sea sick???
We watched the sun set and had our cameras ready to catch the veiw.
It kinda makes you wish you lived on a lake too....
Day 3. SLEEP. We slept at Mom and Pops place that night and it was so nice. I didn't get up till 9 which is really late for me. Jeff and I made breakfast for everyone. The weekend was still young and there were things that could still be done. So we decided to make a trip to Tumwater Falls. Another perfect day!! Jeff and I used to walk to the Falls from our old apartment in Olympia, about 5 miles, not too bad. But it was always worth it.
Kai, Ariana, and Caleb....
One of the little rapids.
Oh yeah, Po was with us the entire weekend too.
My boys... Jeff and Kai
Kai is always doing something. I swear you could put him in a room by himself and he would find something to do and actually have a blast.

Happy 52nd Birthday Pops
We also celebrated Papa's birthday this weekend doing what he loves, playing on the boat with his family. We met up with Mom and Pop's at American Lake and had saved a prime location to drop anchor and soak up the sun. It was a beautiful day, 76 degrees with a nice cool breeze. We (Jen, Steve, Jeff, and I) got pops a really nice gift too, a truck dome tent! Pops was already wanting to set it up and was asking when we were going to go camping.
Caleb and Jen met up with us later in the afternoon, but Caleb didn't hestitate to get into his life jacket and get his feet wet. Too cute!!!
My little ducklings! Ariana and Kai jumped off the front of the boat for the first time today. I didn't have to push Ariana very hard to convince her to do it, but Kai on the otherhand, took a little more encouragement and bribing for him to jump. They both loved it. The water was freezing....BBrrrrr
Before we got on the boat, we let the kids and Po run around the American Lake Park. We got some really cute pics and I couldn't pass up posting them.
Po-pers playing with Ariana's water balloon.
Our princess.
Kai, always having a good time
I think I caught him looking at a bug or something. I don't know... Hahaha
Kai can make a game from anything. He's going to be brilliant!
Ariana, our nurturing and caring flower. She's growing into a beautiful young lady. Oh no!!! She's going to give Jeff a heart attack...

Desi's Birthday Party
So this weekend we celebrarted Desi's 24th birthday... We took her to the Rock for dinner and then The Swiss for some DANCING. I cannot believe how much fun we had and how great it turned out. Everyone had a great time and no one woke up with hang over's, which is surprising because of the amount of alcohol that was consumed. I'm glad to have Desi in our lives and hope that she will always remember what a good time she had.... Happy Birthday Sweetie!!!!
Wu, Chris, Jeff, Me, Birthday Girl, and Miss Manjit were in attendance as well as Jenny, Kim, Baljit, Andy and Bichelle.
Being silly at the Swiss
I think everytime we hang out with Chris and Wu and alcohol is involved there's always a picture with Wu's hand grabbing Chris's boobs. LOL! It doesn't look like she minds too much though.
Wu, doing his "Wutzzup" face!!!! I think this is after two shots of Patron.
The boys in attendance: Andy, Wu, Baljit and Jeff.
My work "Brother". I was so surprised to see that he could "get down" on the dance floor.
Jeff, Manjit, Me, Baljit and Desi.
I've missed Manjit at work so much and was so excited when I found out that she came out. We're definitely doing it again in SEATTLE!!! Wooo Hooo
My Jeff and Me! He did so good taking care of me... Thank you baby. I love you
Andy being silly as usual and his girlfriend Bichelle.
Desi and her birthday cake. (It was a chocolate cake shot)
After dancing for hours, still looking HOT!!!
This was Desi's first shot of Patron ever...actually I think that this was her first shot....ever
She did so well. Tequilla agrees with her.
Happy Birthday Desi!
