Ready or Not Here They Come!

Well, it's ready! We were up until after 2:00AM, but we are ready for the open house! What do you think? I am excited, I think the children and parents will be excited when they come in and see the room or at least I hope they will be!

Griffin is an Official Gibson!

Today we were able to take Griffin to court at 10:00am and have his adoption finalized. It was a special court time because the Honorable Mark R. DeCaria was our judge. I was fortunate enough to be able to work as a nanny for Mark several years ago when his girls were young. He made some very nice comments about me during the proceedings. Our attorney Travis Marker, whom I used to babysit started out by asking us if we both agreed to these divorce proceedings. We told him NO, when he realized his mistake he turned beet red! He said he obviously does a lot more divorces than adoptions. Other than that the court time went off without a hitch. We are now officially a family of four!

Preschool Room in Progress

Well, in just a few weeks I will be starting my preschool. As of right now the basement looks more like a storage area, but changes are a comin'! Cupboards are going in, food storage shelves are being built to get the food out of the room, things are being moved out to the shed and organization is taking shape... yep change is a comin!

Plentiful Harvest

All of this and more came from our garden! I say ours, but it is really John's he has done all of the work for it, but lucky for us we get to take part of his harvest!

Daddy's Work Party

Today we went out to HAFB for Kurt's work party. Kurt had fun showing off his boys! Kurt and AJ had fun looking at the old cars. Griffin had fun eating his toes. We all had fun at the splash pad!

Feeding the Ducks

We had a family outing today, We went up to WSU an fed the ducks. We used cereal and bread, the cereal was GREAT! AJ could throw handfuls and feed lot's of ducks, but if he used the bread he basically threw the entire slice and fed one duck. He wanted to get up close and personal with the ducks. AJ loved calling them, "Hey ducky ducky!" A great time was had by all. Griffin looked around like he was just fascinated by the whole thing!

Peaches

We have a peach tree in our yard! Kurt and I both LOVE peaches so we are super excited we have our own peach tree, although we did find out they are not freestone peaches; so the pits don't come out easily, but they are good eat'n!

I gave AJ some fresh peaches that I had cut up and put in a bowl and he refused to eat them! Then later that night we were outside and he found some peaches on the ground and devoured them! I guess he loves them too! We'll have to wait for Griffin's opinion. Although we do know he enjoyed being in his bouncer seat outside by the peach tree!
