My Guys

-











I love it when my guys get to hang out. Fortunately Ethan has had a lot of time with his dad because of their love of sports. Ethan has chosen soccer as his sport to play but he also loves watching nearly every other sport out there. RSA Soccer has started out rough for the team. After their first pratice the coach left, then they got an interim coach, and now a new one who is working with the interim to strengthen the boys. They have added a strengthening day to the calendar every week and are suppose to be sending us a diet for the boys that will help strengthen their muscles. Ethan is doing awesome! I never see him pausing during exercises or stopping in the middle of a run. He has stamina, and that doesn't just come from being skinny, it comes from determination. I've never realized this before about him. He is very intentional and dedicated. I hope and pray for that to transfer into his AP courses this year. I also pray for a good friend at Franklin Pierce for him this year. He will be solo this year and will most definitely feel it with Val being gone! His soccer club will be keeping us busy nearly every weekend during fall semester, as well as AP homework! It's time though, time to focus on my boy. He is such an sweet kind hearted young man. He knows how to treat a lady and that has been even evident with me lately. He opens doors for me and waits for me to walk through first. 

His first game was in Walla Walla last weekend. Mark drove him to Pasco and stayed in the Tri-cities overnight. Mark showed him his childhood home and  his elementary. They even geocached right near his old house in Pasco. Ethan's team ended up winning their first game because the other team had to forfeit for not registering some of their players. I can't wait until tomorrow to watch his next game since I didn't get to go last weekend. They had a good time together and Ethan got to drive from Pasco to Clelum. He's a great driver and is comfortable in the driver's seat.
He requests to drive constantly! 

August 18th Ethan took Mark to a Seahawks preseason game for his birthday.

Calling All Women

The Challenge: Have as many women as I can interpret what I meant by "Spending ever day looking for new ways to reinvent our relationship." Please leave your comments so that I know I wasn't speaking a foreign language with my spouse. Men, feel free to comment as well! I'm sure you will anyways. Conversation with hubby: Me: I have a New Years Resolution that I think would be fun for us, do you want to hear it? Man: Sure Me: I think every day we should look for new ways to reinvent our relationship? Man: What do you mean? Me: I just said what I meant. Man: No you didn't really explain what you mean, though. Me: You know, finding little things that would change our relationship...doing something each day. Man: That seems taxing! Me: Working on our relationship is work? Man: Yeah, I wouldn't know what to do. That's 365 days, you know. Me: There are calendars out there that will tell you things to do that are romantic! Buy one. Man: Yeah, but most of them are ...

Monday, when we got back from our anniversary trip, found a note on the counter that read: Suzanne called. Play group. Tuesday at 830am. Who would schedule a playgroup so early? Doesn't anyone sleep in? Let the kids find their own breakfast, and stay under the covers till they beg for lunch? Well, you know heat here in the summers, ranging around the 100's, makes us southerners wake up early in the a.m. to do the things we enjoy. When noon rolls around, we hull up in our homes, doors tightly shut, curtains drawn, trying to escape the BIG BAD (the sun appropriately named, right Spike?)! I guess that was not in the cards for us today! We spent the early morning hours playing at the park with pretty much everyone from Journey! Unfortunately around 10 a.m. the heat found us and forced us to retreat to Suzanne's house for some relief! We had a great time chatting, the conversation ranged from ovulation...and ended with ovulation. I think Micheal enjoyed the conversation as much ...

My latest obsessions….puzzling The week after Coyote made a surprise visit! It’s been awhile since I posted! I was just looking back on some posts and giggled so I think it is important to continue since posts tell the story of my life. These pictures were from our latest venture to Paso Robles to see Coyote! Mark, I, and Charlie drove to Paso Robles California in approximately 18 hours. We stayed three glorious days and drove home within the sametime frame. While we were there, we got to see Hearst Castle, visited San Luis Obispo, saw the ocean and tons of beached Sea creatures, ate amazing food, drank amazing coffee, visited a couple of thrift stores, art galleries, and was surprised to find a outdoor vending machine full of specialty meats and cheeses. We purchased a cheese that was literally black all the way through. It was so good and tasty. It had a wonderful lemon taste to it and was very mild. Our Airbnb was located on a Vineyard. Coyote, Kees, and Pharaday even came over and ...
