So much to blog!

Hunter has such an imagination and he was just so proud of himself for making a TRAIN TUNNEL!!! How could I not take a picture!



I found Hunter trying to make pancakes by himself while I was working in my office! Oh it was cute! So I took 10 min and we made pancakes!



Thank you Rachel for making my day! These are beautiful!



My foster brother Cody leaves tomorrow for Boot camp! Go Cody I will miss you so much but you will do great! Can't wait to see you when you are done! This picture is of my parents going to visit him today to say goodbye! We love you Cody!



Hunter wanted to lounge while I did laundry! It was just to cute not to include!

Great Job Hunter

I was so proud of him for coloring so well! He is one serious kid when he has crayons! Just had to put this in the memory book! Great job Hunter!

Crazy girls!

Our YW's group had a very fun crazy pajama party! It was so fun to play night games, watch movies and EAT a ton of food! But what I loved most of all was that by 2am all the girls were out!!!! Awesome time Thanks girls!

Goodbye and Hello

Well as many of you know, we had a little escape artist of a frog and well after multiple times getting out and filling my days with search and rescue we decided that if Oscar returned we would let him go! Well evening rolled around and that croak of his gave him away! We put him in his cage for his last night of easy meals and home lovin! Saturday am we got up and Hunter was so excited to let him go, "mom does this mean he will get to be with his family forever?" "Yes, Hunter he will find them and be very happy."

Here is Hunter proudly letting him go return back to the wild where he belonged! Now our day is not yet over as we headed straight to the pet store to get a friend for Peter! Both have been in captivity their whole lives and are very happy. So SAM welcome to our home you cute cuban tree frog you!



Goodbye Oscar



He was loving being back in the woods!




Hunter named him SAM


This is what Peter looks like!


This is what Sam looks like!

Oscar again!

So I did not even know he was missing until I hear him croaking this am and it was loud! Well it was loud because he is in my sink and the echo is quite nice! The good thing is I know where he is, the bad thing is I can't get him out! He is just hiding down in there and Ryan said, "I will just have to undo the drain tonight to get him out!" Really 2 times now he has done thins and I even have heavy things on the top of his cage! The only thing I can think of is there is a slight little gap that I can't even believe he can fit through that! Ryan and I think it might be best to let him back into the wild! Our other frog does not know the feeling of freedom and he loves his habitat but Oscar on the other hand has tasted of such. I will let you all know what we decide. Does he stay or do we let him go? I did however scout out the most perfect swamp area that he would love with lots of bugs trees and water! He might just be one happy OSCAR if we put him there! Sad for us good for him!

WAPA Presentation

I was proud of all of Ryan's hard work yesterday! He and one of his colleagues put together a 2 hour presentation on the BACK!!!! I was excited to be the model for their presentation! My clothing choices were either a hospital gown or shorts and a tank top! Which do you think I chose????? There was one really not so funny thing that happened and that was that when we got there to set up we were a half hour early and Ryan could not get his laptop to work at all! He was starting to get nervous when he only had 3 min before start time! As it would happen we never got his laptop working but he was intuitive enough to bring his drive so that the tech was able to get ryan a spare laptop and we were in business 30 seconds before he was to start. Wow that could have been BAD! WAPA stands for Washington Association of Physicians Assistants! After the presentation we all felt really great and I know the two Doctors felt a ton of relief that all their hard work had paid off! I really appreciate the environment and people that my husband gets to work with and we just feel so blessed to be here in Spokane!

I am in LOVE

Yes it was another adventurous day and it was so fun! A good friend of mine came over to go walking with Hunter and I and as we were walking I discovered this cute little guy on the side of the road! We went into rescue mode and called the right numbers to get him help! They then told us to wrap him in a blanket take him home and they would send someone ASAP! Hunter volunteered his very own shirt and was so proud to save the little owl's life! We got him home and we were all in love with him! The poor little guy had a broken wing but the officer that came and got him said, "he should be just fine." What a fun day!
