Almost through February!!

We had a nice week.
Biggest news: we have officially lived in Moses Lake for ONE WHOLE YEAR!!!  I can't really believe it.  I am not 'used' to it, nor do I like it yet...but now people are telling me it takes 2 years, so we'll see.  We still love our home, and we love the people here, and Josh LOVES his job...and we've paid off 2 small student loans already...so we're surviving.  But we miss family and friends, always will.

I filled my week with service which brightened my mood and my whole outlook on life.  If I can keep it up, this week promises to be bright too!  Josh and I spent the latter half of the week helping a family move. It was great to get out of the winter blues and think about someone else for a while. 


On Monday, the 21st, it was finally 'warm' enough for the kids to go outside.  They stayed out for more than 15 minutes...and came in excited and cold.

Spencer LOVES going out.  He stands by the back door and makes noise...since he can't talk yet.  He did that A LOT this week after he got to play Monday.

Parker DOESN'T love outside. But he went willingly...that was nice.

Kaden wanted water for the squirt gun. I said it was too cold.

Tyson would live with any kind of sport ball in his hands, and stay outside all the time, if he could.  He and Spence will be great friends (notice Spence in the background).

Even though it was cold, I decided to try out a new recipe I heard for homemade 'raw food' ice cream.  It took a while, but it was a hit!  Strawberries, Almonds, Cabbage and water...and they all ate it happily.  Then they complained they were cold.

Look at those handsome boys!! Yikes...the ladies are gunna love 'em!

Spencer looked like he was in time out and I thought it was adorable.  Thing is, he can climb up that chair on his own...and turn off lights, and reach into EVERY drawer, and climb on ALL the counters, and find every thing in the world he shouldn't touch...and he does it on a daily basis.  Yes. I. am. busy.

 

Tyson got to go to a party on Saturday!  It was just a fun thing one of his friend's family does in the winter for something to look forward to.  He was thrilled. He got to make a pizza at Dominos and then watch a movie and play games. 

I did our bi-monthly trip to Tri-Cities for shopping...but I took a friend and enjoyed it SOO much more.  It really is drudgery to me to have to shop, so it was nice to go with someone who loves it and made it fun.  I might just 'get used' to this town if I keep mixing things up!
