7 Years Strong!!

well we had quiet the eventful week this week (at least for us) Ryan started school. he has such a busy schedule this year, we're hoping we'll still get to see him. He's working more consistently at his job now, and his classes are all night classes. so he leaves at 9:00 every morning and gets home at about 8:30 every night.
Me and the kids keep busy by going to the park and lake, and by me scrap booking while they play house and color.
Ryan and I had our 7th anniversary on Thursday, I can't believe it's been 7 years. it has gone by so fast, and I must say I am so glad to see how far we've come and how much we've grown together. so anyways, we got a baby sitter and went out to dinner, it was great.


so anyways here's a picture to show the progress of my pregnancy, I' m now 28 weeks. okay, so I'm just going to rant about my weight gain once and then I'll leave it alone. I was at Target and the lady who worked there says " you look like your about ready to pop , you must be due like any day? (no lady, I've got a good 3 months to go, but thanks. ) F.Y.I. it is not okay to comment on a pregnant womans size!!!! I can say that I am huge, but you can't. you can NOT say you are looking huge, you can say your belly is looking cute, that is okay! !! and NEVER assume someone is further along than they are. so yes I look like I'm 9 and1/2 months pregnant but don't worry I'm not. okay so I will to try not to make any more pregnancy rants in my blog but that's a hard goal to keep. we went to Coeur d'Alene again this weekend, it is so fun there, I love it. I wish you could all come visit us in the summer, there are so many cool places to go and visit, and there all within a 20 minute drive. the fall is really pretty to, there are so many trees and the leaves are so pretty. the winter is cool as well and the spring (hint hint) come and see us any time.
the kids have such a blast at the beach. they love to play in the sand and make castles.
here's Tyson and daddy showing there strong muscles. Tyson has so much fun playing with Ryan in the lake, he loves him to throw him up in the air. he has turned into such a little fish this summer. he loves the water.




I wanted to tell you one more funny thing that happened this week. (well funny if your not the mom) so it was about 6:00 at night (which is when I'm right out of patience) and Ryan was still at school. so anyways I gave the kids dinner and then started to straighten up the house, ( I hear them in the kitchen just laughing there heads off, in one of their crazy hyper moods) so I go into the kitchen and find soup EVERYWHERE on their heads, all over their clothes, all over the table, and all over the floor. so I lost it and got mad at them. you would have thought I was the funniest person in the world (to the kids) I obviously have no authority with them. Bailee just looks at Tyson and says "Tyson listen to how funny mom is, she's snapping at us."
if Ryan just raises his voice at them they're in tears. it was so depressing. they usually listen a little better than that, but I think this is going to make for a long semester in school. we'll see.

well I have to say I miss being the family blogger, it's kind-of therapeutic, so I am going to try and up-date a little more often (more than once every 6 months.) I love you all and hope all is well. love Katie
