June has been a very busy month and a good start to a very busy summer. On June 1st Joel started a new job, which is very exciting, but of course, it's always stressful starting a new job. Joel's new job, Lead Training Coordinator for Skagit County Medic One, is a perfect fit for what he enjoys doing and what he is good at. On June 2nd I went back to work only 32 hours a week, its nice having the option of going back sort of "part-time"...it was still pretty stressful and it is definitely difficult to believe that twelve weeks had gone by already.
On the 4th of June we celebrated Keegan's first birthday and then we celebrated again with the whole family the following Sunday (this is starting to sound like somebody else we know...Jason, are you teaching Keegan to have birthday weeks like you do?), the kids had a blast swimming, running around, and playing with Keegans new presents. I can't believe he is one already! there is a slide show below.
Keegan Turns 1!
Summer is Here!!! We finally got out the pool and Addy jumped right in! The water was
soooo cold so she didn't stay in long.
Ellie turned 5 on the 14th and Tyler turns 7 on the 30th so we will have done a lot of traveling to and from Sequim this month. It's always a lot of fun and we wouldn't miss it for the world. Ellie's mermaid party was a blast, she had a bouncy house, pool, and the kids got to decorate cookies.
These are some recent pictures of Ellie, Addy, and Maya taken in May. For some reason the camera didn't get taken out at Ellie's party.

We have been doing a lot of work around the house and now that the fence is completed and the play set is up we have noticed a lot of things that have fallen behind. Of course the weeding and trimming have fallen behind, as well as some of our house work inside...mostly because we don't enjoy doing those things! So on our only free weekend this month we tried to catch up on some of that stuff (there are some pictures in the slide show below of the work we have done lately).
The work is never ending...
July is around the corner...and soon Addy will be three, it is so hard to believe! Here are some then and now pictures.
Then...2 days old
Then...1 year
Then...2 years
And...Now... Almost 3
Maya is starting to change so much too. She has started to try to roll over when she is on her back and she can already roll from her stomach to her back. She is smiling and giggling and she has recently started reaching for her toys. There still isn't a good napping routine...but I hear that's because she's the second child and must go when and where we go. Not like the first where everything revolves around their schedule:). Oh well ...she sleeps really well at night (and always has) and I guess there are bigger things to worry about. Here are some current pictures.
