The lastest in the lives of US

We became MiniVan owners yesterday!! Woohoo! It's a Chrystler Town and Country, 2005 with 41,000 miles. It has automatic doors which is AWESOME!! With a push of a button I can open the back or the two side doors. It's fabulous!! Now I feel like an official mom. My boys can play soccar now, teehee!

Dave's Dad and Step Mom just left this morning. They were here visiting for a few days from Seattle. It was nice having them here. Nancy taught Liam some new songs and helped him finish learning the alphabet.

We have made any progress on landscaping cause life has been crazy. Hopefully we can get a fence in soon then a patio and some grass. I can't wait till next summer when it's all done!


Gabriel is almost 10 weeks old already. He's so amazing!! He is sleeping anywhere from 9 to 13 hours straight at night. He already rolled over from tummy to back twice already, he can lift his whole chest up when on his tummy, he has such a strong neck! I think he's going to be an early crawler because he loves being on his tummy.

Liam is changing so much. He's learning all kinds of stuff every day. I love listening to him sing "itsy bitsy spider", "tinkle twinkle", "abcs", "hush little baby". Since he loves music so much we are going to get him a toddler ipod called the iTOD from Fisher Price. I think it will help keep him busy on our road trip to Seattle this summer.

It's a . . .

BOY!! Liam is a big brother to a beautiful baby boy! Gabriel Asher was born at 8:55 PM on March 16th. He weighed 9lbs. 2.9oz and was 21 inches long. We were at church for a meeting with all the youth workers and after the meeting I (Kami) was having more intense contractions and just not feeling right. A mother of a couple of our high school girls offered to take me home with them and let me rest at their house while Dave stayed at church to run our Sunday night youth group. It wasn't long after arriving at their house that my water broke. I called for Dave to come pick me up and we headed to the hospital. It was slightly under 3 hours later that our little boy came into the world. It was quick and everything went smoothly. Gabriel got a 9 out of 10 on both his apgar tests which made us proud. He's nursing like a pro and so beautiful! ...

A mother of 3 boys

I have to be honest in hopes that it will encourage you to pray for me. I now have a 5yo, 4yo and 2yo. I am over whelmed and had my first major break down today. I say "major" because I have actually had many breakdowns but this was the first with tears I just couldn't control. This is WAY harder then I thought it would be. Or maybe it's just that the "difficult things" I tried to prepare myself for aren't very tough at all. There are many things that I just wasn't prepared for and it's knocking me off my feet. The boys are acting like brothers. Yes, this sounds like a good thing. The issue? That means they fight. . . there's screaming, scratching, pushing and biting involved. It's not all the time but I have to watch them so things don't get out of hand. I have been so tired. I don't think it has anything to do with the jet lag anymore but more of just a physical issue I have struggled with since Gabriel was born 2 years ago. I a...

Stinky, Uncontrollable Moments

The boys and I were going to join Dave at Quest (middle school camp) in Olympia this weekend. Dave is the Quest director and although he'd be working and busy we were excited to be able to go and have a weekend away. So, why am I now sitting on my couch watching Ice Age with my family on Friday night instead of hanging out with middle schoolers at camp? Let me share the insane story with you. . .           We hit the road in our van and while driving over White Pass we had car trouble. . . bad enough that we couldn't drive the van any farther.           In the rain, Dave worked and worked to try and fix the belt that partially tore and then came off it's track. We didn't have cell service so we had no idea what to do.           Finally, a Good Samaritan stopped and offered us a ride to Naches (the closest town back towards Yakima). ...
