3 months of updates!

*Where does the time go. So I need to do a little catching up on the past few months. We will start with June. JUNE: In June we blessed our sweet baby boy Kalijah. It was a very special day and we had lots of family & friends there to celebrate with us. Here are some pictures from that day...

-Kalijah & Grandma

-Maddi & Kayson

-Fricke Family on Kalijah's Special Day

-Thank you to all of our family and friends who came to celebrate this day with us, we love you!


JULY: The highlights of July were pretty much the fourth of July and all of the July birthdays in our family, including my parents turning the big 50. Here are some pictures from the 4th...


-Kalijah was a pretty happy boy all day.

-Then we went to my parent's in Middleton for a BBQ, here are the deviled eggs I made.

-The boys loved getting candy at the parade...

But they did not like the noise lol

-Kayson was pretty much scared of all the fireworks, maybe next year he'll enjoy it more :)

*The next big event in July was the surprise (kind of) 50th birthday party we threw for my mom and dad. Thanks to all their wonderful friends & family who came to celebrate is was a very special celebration.

-Thanks Jeremy & Stacy for being great host & Anne & Jason for all your help

My Grandma made their very special b-day cake, thanks grandma!

-My Great Grandma Shorty came all the way from Redmond to share their special day.

-My parents were crowned Queen & King and got to share their cake just like on their wedding day...

-Daisha holding Kalijah at the end of the very eventful day

*Then there was Jillian's swimming birthday party. The boys were both chicken to even get in the water then they loved it so much they were the last ones to get out of the pool. Kayson advanced from the float toy to just the arm floaties :) Maddi was a little scared at first too but she found Ariel to play with and finally got in the water.

AUGUST: So far August has been a very busy and long month. 

We started juicing and changed most of the foods we eat. It has been an adventure but the boys surprisingly want to eat healthy like mommy & daddy, and Russ has already lost 20 lbs so it has been a good thing.

 I started working a little doing a coupon kiosk for the Press Tribune. It is weird to be away from the boys for more than a few hours at a time but the boys love their time with daddy and Russ has a lot more appreciation for what I do. He decided that I make being a mom look easy lol The boys are both good little helpers when they want to be and love their brother Kalijah.
