Vinny's 1st day of Pre-K
Vinny started pre-K yesterday. He is going to Bethleham Lutheran Christian School again and has the same teachers as last year. Mrs. Cunningham and Mrs. T. He was so excited to go to school. He was excited to be able to say he was in Pre-K and to see his old friends and to make new friends. Tony left on Sunday to go hunting for a week, so Vinny really wanted me to take pictures so that he could show his Dad how cool he looked on his first day.
Before we left...
I was shocked that he was actually in a picture taking mood, so I took advantage of the situation...
When we got to school he found his best buddy, Donovan, right away!
As we were waiting in line to go into the school, I see Vinny staring out in the parking lot. I look up and look who is there! Tony came and met us so he could be there for Vinny's 1st day. He was so excited to see his Dad! I don't think I have ever seen Vinny so happy to see him.
When we picked Vinny up he said that he had made some new friends. He didn't know any of thier names, but one had a green shirt ;) He said that school was the "funnest thing to ever do." He came home with a fruitloop necklace. The paper said that he had laced 23 fruit loops. Last year on day one of pre-school he had laced 4. So if nothing else, he has learned a little more patience over the last year.
I am looking forward to seeing what is to come over the next several months. We are very excited to see him so happy to go to school and hope that it continues.

Update on us...
Life has been crazy the last couple of months, and I haven't been able to blog. I really miss it. I have so many stories to share and so many pictures too! Hopefully I will have some time soon to do it all.
I was promoted to Retail Banking Manager at work. It has been great so far. It's a lot more work and responsibility, plus I haven't hired my replacement, so I have been short staffed since the of June. This has meant a lot of 10 hours days, and when I am home, I have been trying to spend as much time as possible with Tony and Vinny. By the looks of my schedule though, life won't be back to normal until the beginning of the year. It's a sacrafice, but will be worth it in the long run (At least that is what I keep telling myself.)
Between small trips here and there camping, going to the ocean and just hanging out at home, we have still managed to keep our happy little family happy and our sanity intact.
Vinny has a lot going on too. He has been doing ice skating and just found out that he gets to start hockey lessons in a couple of weeks. He also starts pre-K soon. He is going to the same school and has the same teacher. He is so excited for both.
Tony has taken up archery and hunting. He is actually gone now for 5 days in Eastern Washington deer hunting, and will be going with my dad soon for elk. He is really enjoying himself with it, and I am happy to see him have a hobby that he enjoys.
There has been a lot going on in the extended family too...
Linda gave us a scare a couple of months ago with a heart attack. Thank God she is ok. She's not at 100%, but she is a trooper and pulling her own. I have no idea what I would have done if things had turned out any differently.
Reidar graduated high school, and went off to college at WSU. I can't believe it. My baby brother is growing up. We are so proud of him though, and can't wait to see him at Thanksgiving.
Berit and Stuart tied the knot! What a beautiful wedding!
Sandie and Rob got married too! We are so happy for both of them.
I am sure that there is a ton more that I forgot to mention, but Vinny is bugging me to go out and play... and so off I go! Keep watch! I hopefully will start updating more often soon!

A new bike.
Vinny got a bike from my dad for his 3rd birthday. He rode it a few times, but really wasn't that interested. We would take it out every month or so, and he would say he didn't like to ride and that would be the end of it. Well, since Tony and I have been walking, we decided it was time for him to try again. We hadn't taken it out this summer yet. When we got to the trail, we realized that he was way too big for his little 12 inch bike.
So off to Toys R Us we went. He picked out a bright one! He was able to ride it so much better, and he really enjoyed it!
Birch Bay Waterslides.
Last week I had a day off work, so I decided to take Vinny to Birch Bay to go to the waterslide park. We had so much fun! Vinny went on all the slides that he was able too. He wasn't a big fan of the tube ride, because his face got splashed, but he was a trooper and went twice with his mom. ;)

4th
We usually do something big for the 4th, which I really thought I would miss... but this year we stayed at home, and it was great! We had debated on going to the big fireworks show in Everett, but Vinny didn't seem very interested, so we decided against it. We took a trip to Boom City to see my friends Mike & Cy, and they hooked us up with a ton of small, backyard friendly, fireworks that we knew Vinny would enjoy. We BBQ'd salmon and corn for dinner and just hung out.
Vinny with his popper gun.
Smoke bombs.
Safety First!!!
Once the sun went down, we were shocked at the awesome show that we had from our own backyard! Both on the side of us, and behind us had great fireworks!
Playing with sparklers
More sparklers...
The Grande Finale!
What a great day!
