Just thought since I had a little time, that I would sit down and blog.
Peter is working hard and looking forward to hiring an0other employee for the office here in Salem. Between work and Portland Mormon Choir, he is crazy busy. Speaking of PMC, their next concert is June 18th and 25th although most of you will probably want to hit up the June 25th performance as it is in Salmon creek at Skyview high school. After that concert, Peter will have a break until the fall which will be nice. Peter also recently signed up for the Willamette Valley Triathlon club so that he can get into training with others that do triathlons as well. He is excited!
I am coming to the end of my training for the marathon and I am so ready to just do the race. Training can be such a pain sometimesJ. But it is going well for the most part but I will be excited when it is all over. I will be able to focus on Ragnar, Hood to Coast, and the Oyster race….and possibly a triathlon. It sure is turning out to be a crazy summer for me with also the addition of the Lake Shasta trip. Oh I am so ready….our family is so ready! I am enjoying the life of being a mom even though I have my moments of insanity here and there.
Andrew ends preschool this month. I still can’t believe that he will be going off to kindergarten next fall. He is still my baby boy. No more growing…I wish! He is acting older every day and some days I feel like he is trying to be a teenager. He is such a big helper (most of the time) and currently as I write this, he is out in the yard helping Peter with yard work. He loves to help out with Camie and always want her to come play with him. He is such a good big brother.
We recently had our first trip to the ER for something other than a high fever. Beck and Andrew were playing in the backyard and found a broken beer bottle that had been dug into the ground. I thought I had picked up all that was there but I guess I was wrong as about a half hour later, Beck came in with a cut on his foot that was pretty deep. Since Peter was at Silverton city council meeting, I had to find someone from the ward to watch Andrew and Camie while I headed to the ER with Beck. 2 hours in the waiting room, 1 hour in a room, 1 xray, and 4 stitches later we were home at about 1:30 in the morning. He refuses to walk on it which means he is either crawling or being carried everywhere. It makes for some interesting trips around town. Other than that, Beck is growing each day and just amazes me with some of the stuff that he knows. I keep thinking about when Andrew was his age and I don’t think Andrew knew as much as Beck does. I guess that Is what comes with having an older brother to learn from.
Camie is such a fun girl to have around. She is definitely the sister of 2 older brothers. She basically lives with no fear and wants to do everything they are doing. She climbs on everything and I find her very often on the top bunk do to the staircase we have for it. She is currently in the midst of breaking her 1 year molars which is making her to be a bit of a monster but hopefully they will be through soon and we can get our normal Camie back. She loves her brothers to death and also has recently become a bit of a daddy’s little girl. She loves to play with Peter and she giggles all the time when she is with him.
Anyways, I am being called to find out what we should have for dinner. We are staying busy and having fun here in Salem and anyone is welcome to come join the fun. We love visitors!
