Overwhelmed

It has been so long since I have blogged that I feel too overwhelmed to do it every time I think about it. Way too much has happened so this may be the longest most boring post for all of you so feel free to stop reading whenever you want!

For Kevin's birthday we took the the kids to the federal way community center to go swimming. It was really fun, they have a lazy river and a little play area with slides for the kids. It was really fun...we hope to go back soon. Later that night just Kevin and I went back and went wall rock climbing. It was so much more fun than I thought it would be and an excellent workout! Even my finger muscles were sore :) Afterwards we went to the Olive Garden and ate dinner...mmm my favorite!

For the 4th of July we ended up going to Portland to visit Kevins sisters and brother. It was alot of fun and surprisingly Janey and Russell both loved the fireworks. This was Janeys first time witnessing fireworks since we are usually party poopers and put her to bed early! We also enjoyed our tradition of eating breakfast at IHOP. Nothing is better than having a great breakfast and not having to make it!

Kevin had to go out of town for a few days and thanks to my great friends I stayed busy enough to not go crazy! Laurel and I enjoyed a long crazy trip to the zoo but the kids had fun so that's all that matters. I came hope super exhausted but so did the kids! We left at 1:00 in the afternoon and didn't get home until 7:30. It ended up being a lot longer than planned but thats a whole other story! Russell also had a fever while Kevin was gone but luckily it was mild and didn't last too long. Janey on the other hand got sick the weekend Kevin came home and had a fever of 105 (only for a short while) but had an average of 103/104 for about 2 days. The crazy thing is that she didn't even act that sick....she was just a little more mellow than normal. If I had a fever of 104 I think I would die!

For my birthday Melanie was nice enough to take Janey to the Lake and story time so I had some alone time while Russell took his nap...Thanks Melanie! Later we went to the Keg for dinner...I love that place! We didn't do to much but it was a fun day.

Other than that we have just been enjoying fun trips to the zoo, the lake, and the sun in general! Hope you are all enjoying your summer as much as we are!
