I love the sign that says “Meet Jared”

And this:

The writing says “Jared, Best wishes Nice name”
Tell me that didn’t make you laugh out loud!

I look at how long it’s been since my last post and it makes me feel so lousy. These 10 hour days have been rough on our schedule, and all our spare time is spent cleaning up and running errands, so it’s easy for me to set this to the side. It’s been a busy month and it’s hard to believe there’s only 2 months left until RJ’s return! We recently had more friends head out so please remember all the soldiers, airmen, sailors, and Marines in your prayers long after RJ comes home.
The most exciting thing to happen the last few weeks was Jeff’s birthday! He turned 7 and we had a fun party at our local kids museum.

Hard to believe that the little boy who started our adventure as parents has survived for 7 whole years!!

I guess this is a chain, but it recently opened near my in laws and I’ve heard good things so we went and picked some up the last time we were there. It was pretty darn yummy, AND they have a military discount!

but is this REALLY the guy you want giving a national security briefing? He’s not much of a communicator…

This dinosaur thought FJ would make a good snack, but it turns out he’s not very filling!

This week has been INSANE!
Training to be a screener at the airport is SO much harder than you’d think and I have been busy busy busy. Between 9 hour days and all the stuff at home poor FJ hasn’t seen too much time out of the car this week. We did have fun in Seattle though.
Here are some pictures from our Memorial Day weekend:

Everything is happening at once around here.
Soccer ended for Joel this weekend, and while I’m glad he had fun I’m also glad I won’t be driving to the other side of town every weekend.

Might not be too much this week. Lots of last minute preparation for my new job and such, but we’re taking a little trip over to Seattle for the holiday weekend, so we’ll probably have some fun pictures from that. Unfortunately, after 10 months with FJ there’s not too much we haven’t taken pictures of yet! But I’m sure we’ll be able to find some sort of shenanigans to capture for posterity!

We were invited to a friends house for Mothers Day dinner. It’s a little farm and everyone had a great time feeding cows and chasing cats. The little tan cow by FJ is named Hot Dog, no joke. The cows they keep get regular names (there’s Thelma and Louise) and the ones who will stock the freezer get food names.
