Hmmm, It's been six months since the last six month installment - I guess I'm more than six months behind! Let's see, We ended in April of last year - here's a six-month bullet list -
- End of March - We jetted home from Cali and spent some quality time with Galen's family as they all gathered to remember his Grandma Lucille Nation.
- April - Had a fabulous spring break with Uncle Lance and Auntie Laurie and Kids as they trekked over to Spokane and shared their break with us! A Gordon and Grooms Family Egg Hunt provided fun for all!
- May - Visted the Boundary Dam north of here with the Homelink and Finished the school year with a successful Spring Recital with the Heidi Pintor Piano Studio and talent show participation at the Homelink in Loon Lake.
- June - found us enclosing the front porch to build a room for the boys so they would no longer have to share with their sister - woot this gave us a two bedroom house! Little princess enjoyed helping with every aspect of the job even sheet rock sanding!
- July - Another great fourth spent at Loon Lake with the Lehrman Clan! A water boat parade, good eats, games, sun and finally fireworks! Summer baseball Camp for the first time at Gonzaga!
- August - Started the month with The Great Pearson Campout in Hunter's - almost felled by stolen goods, a broken collarbone, then a broken zodiac, and finally a blown engine but there were too many smiles and memories made to get us down for long! Knight #2 turns 10! Dad went and climbed a portion of the Grand Tetons. The month was rounded out with Convention at Olympia and the boys heading off on a wild, week long adventure with Grandpa and Grandma Pearson and their best bud boy cousins! They still have big grins a year later and are looking forward to doing it again!
- September - Started the school year right with a trip to Silverwood Theme Park and a concert in the park with the Spokane Symphony. Finished up a 600 square foot deck and hot tub project - Almost as big as our house! Knight #1 played fall baseball and Soccer started again!
- October - Home-link classes began and I found myself sewing happily yet frantically because Halloween was near! What a fun time as they all needed something made by mom this year and then we got to trick-or-treat with our old Smith friends in town. This year we had a Princess, A Monk and a Mime in our family!
- November - found the kids target shooting off our new deck and shooting rockets in the neighbor's field. Mom was able to participate in and enjoy another quilt retreat. Then we were joined by G & G Pearson and Uncle G and Auntie J and our Best friend Baby A for a wonderful thanksgiving weekend.
- December - Snow! Skiing! Birthdays! Knight #1 is a teenager!! and the Princess is 5! Yeah for Christmas! Shockingly, I don't have any pictures!
- and then... a Hair-Brained idea - What do you think about moving to Chewelah!?
