The real life

Memorial Day
Advances

First on the list
Moving
Most of you were aware that we were planning on moving over to Tacoma.  It was in the works to happen about this time, but things didn't work out as we had planned, but it seems like it wasn't suppose to.  My parents realized that they were going to have to sell the house (that we were going to live in) in order to keep the finances going for my Grandpa.  Everything fell into place in a matter of days LITERALLY, so much that the very next day that the house was listed they got a FULL OFFER!  That doesn't happen!  It was meant to be.  As hard as it is to see the house go (My Great Grandpa built it,) it must be the right thing to do.
We still need/want to move for multiple reasons, so we are still working on it, but it is obviously going to take longer now that we need a place to live.

Shots
Jared started his allergy shots Wednesday and he did really well.  Of course he got a little upset with the whole idea of a shot, but he did well and I'm hoping the more and more he goes in the better it will be and he won't stress about it.  I was and still am proud of him

Pictures
Last Friday Aaron's Mom wanted to have pictures taken of her "Grand kids" (meaning there were a few extras that she considers grand kids.)  So she got all the kids Green Outfits and we went over to Grandpa Pinky and Grandma Judy's backyard and took some pictures.  It was really hard to get 7 kids 4 and under to cooperate, but what do you expect.

In order of age, 4, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, and 6 months

Jared, Allyson, Libby, Casen, Makenna, Finn, and Carys

Ally wore this little cover-up until this happened.  They discovered the dirt between the bricks.  Her white cover was no longer white.

I really like this picture.  Yes I know he isn't smiling and he looks either upset or mad, but for some reason I still like it.

After Pictures were done we went home and packed up the van (in the rain, yes pictures ended just in time.)  We were off  to Tacoma.  It had been almost 2 months since we had been there, and since it was Dads birthday as well as Memorial Day we headed over for the 3 day weekend.

Memorial Day
As long as I can remember our ward at church has met over at Pt. Defiance area on Memorial Day and had a Fun Run and Breakfast with other festivities.  The area has moved a few times, but it is still fun.  We played in the park for a while and then went down to the water (Owen Beach) and let the kids play and throw rocks in the water.

My lips and chin.  I was there!

Advances
This little one just turned 7 months on Tuesday.  It is so crazy how fast time is going by.  She is getting better and better at sitting and also pushing up on tummy time.

Extra
This is just a funny extra I thought I would put on here.  YES she is sucking on her toes, and NO, I have no idea why.
