Joshua's Celebration of Learning

Hopefully this time I did it right. I forgot about it downloading the other day and didn't finish up till lots later so I must have forgot to make it unlisted.

Jonas is 8!

I can't believe I have another child turn 8! Jonas had a great birthday. After school he had swim lessons, but then we got to have cousins over for presents, cake, and lemon bars. I had made the lemon bars for Jonas to take to school but they do not allow homemade goods! After a bit of embarrassment on mommies part, we thought it was great to have double treats. He wanted his cake to be a moon with an astronaut on it. As I did not have any type of astronaut around, I settled for the moon, stars, and a flag. Jonas said he was most excited about the day after his birthday because it was his first day of Scouts. He is so pumped to be going! Joshua doesn't care for Jonas going at all as you can see in the picture. 

Work begins again!

After troubles with the excavator not working, yesterday it finally worked enough to load up and haul away. Today, some supplies were dropped off and another excavator came to pick up on the work again!

Mariners Game Video

At one point during the game, some good dancing music came on and we were able to catch Joshua head bobbin' to it! So fun!

30th Birthday!

My 30th Birthday was wonderful! I took the Primary boys to a Stake activity that celebrated the end of their prayer challenge. They had a good time, and I was able to leave them for an hour and go to the mall to use a gift card at Bath and Body Works and then get some teryaki chicken from my favorite place in Silverdale! That afternoon, we ate my angel food cake with strawberries and whipped cream. Late afternoon, we dropped off Logan and Wesley at a friends house and the rest of us caught a ferry over to Seattle to see a Mariners game! It was so great! Jesse played on the Ipad most of the game, but Jonas and Joshua seemed to have a good time. Joshua was on the edge of his seat with his Baseball glove on and ready to catch a fly ball. It was also bat night so the kids all got a free bat! I realized later that I was the one who took all the pictures, so I am not in any of them : (

Baby Burt!

Here is the first picture of our new little one! Such an adorable profile! This baby was very very very active during the entire ultrasound (it did a full somersault) so I should be feeling it's movements soon I think.

Especially for Momma and Papa Burt

Work began yesterday at about lunch time, the kids were so excited to see the big truck at work!

Here is the before picture in the back yard.

Here is the result of a half days work. They also spray painted a circle on the ground over where the septic tank is going : )

Before picture looking at the clearing were the home will be (if you were standing almost where your side porch will be) 

After picture, it all looks like a big mess to me, but progress is being made!

Looking up the driveway before work, I don't think Nathaniel got one from the point of view after the work. I think it is the same except most of the logs and wood on the ground are gone or piled off to the side.

 Picture of our daily visitors! Very entertaining to watch during breakfast and dinner.
