Hi everyone!

Jordan brought his lap top so I wanted to share this picture with you. Nathan was not a fan of the cold water. Nichelle liked it more but was still a little leary. I'm not a natural swimmer but I did enjoy being in the water for like....2 minutes. It was cold. Tomorrow we are going to Cannon Beach and having fun with all the sights. Can't wait to blog again!

Just days to go

Hello everyone. I am very proud to announce that the Hunter family will be taking a vacation! The last vacation we took neither Nathan or Nichelle were able to join us. Well actually Nathan was almost here, it was July 2007, but it's way over due. For the summer, and last part of spring Jordan has been working so much at his spa job. He loves it, he's really big into being active(believe me he can't sit still!). And since I'm so busy at home I love to relax. For the past few weeks he's been coming home at such late hours the kids hardly get to see him. It's a great job for him since he's really great at encouraging customers to enjoy their hot tubs. Only problem he faces is alot of travel time alone. I am glad when he comes home every night, nice to have him home. Last week, he said he wanted to take the family on vacation. I wasn't to sure, to be perfectly honest. In the past, we've tried to spend some family time alone and there would be a work emergency and he'd be gone again. I am crossing my fingers that we're actually able to leave and spend some time together. Our plan is to spend a few days on the Oregon Coast enjoy the sites. I've never been to Seaside and I haven't seen Cannon Beach in ages. So, I am hoping that we'll all have a fun time and get some need time with husband and daddy. I've been having a small conversation with this lady about her used DSLR camera. It's a pretty afforable price, but I'm not sure if we'll pick it up before the vacation or in a few weeks. Either way I plan on taking lots of pictures of course cause I love photo opportunities! I can't wait to leave and see all the beauty of the water! Talk to everyone soon!

Our Nordstrom Family

Some of you may know that growing up my Mom worked at the DC(Distribution Center) for Nordstrom down in Tukwila. So, what a blessing it was for my mom, being a single lady with a growing child to work there. I got the best dresses, the best everything with that availability of a nice store. I do not, by any means claim to be a fashionable person by any means, but I do enjoy nice clothes and shoes. What girl doesn't. So, when I knew I was having children I said to my self, they'll learn to love Nordstrom just like I had too! We've shoped there many times for both Nathan and Nichelle and I am glad to say I still love the store. Tonight Grandma came over a little later than usually(she's here around 5:30 every week day)and she came bearing gifts. I knew it had to be something for the kids, she is a Grandma of course. She pulled out this darling suit jacket with these really nice dark slacks for Nathan. I couldn't believe it. She bought a great white shirt and a wonderful tie. I can't wait to have him wear it. I've included a shirtless version of the outfit. Please enjoy.

Happy BirthdayNate the Great

Today is Nathan's birthday and I am in shock about his turing 2. I won't bore you with a slide show of all the best pictures...but there is one that we have come to love in this house. I love my buddy, the mini me I never thought I'd have. Baby April as my cousins call him. He's funny, totally affectionate and a big help around the house. I'm hoping he'll be a chef, or a wedding planner, maybe a lion tamer in a circus. Or he could walk dogs that might be fun. Whatever he decides to be tomorrow I will still love him and I'm so excited that he's my friend. Happy Birthday Nathan!

I almost forgot to post these

During our fun drive we stopped at the Dairy Queen in Port Orchard. I wasn't sure what I wanted but the pictures prove that Nathan wants to be a drummer and Nichelle will eat anything. Enjoy!

Fun trip to Port Orchard

Jordan has a lead foot. And because of that we got to take a quick day trip with him to Port Orchard so he could take care of the ticket he received. We started out during nap time which was perfect cause we were able to have a nice quiet ride up there. We got there an hour before his court appearance so I drove the kids around for a little bit. And I umm, wound up from where it was close to the court house. Recently Jordan got me a cell phone. Thank goodness for GPS. Although I'm sure I would have gotten back to Port Orchard it was still fun to have someone help me.

We got back to downtown Port Orchard/Port of Bremerton and it was cloudy and gray and not warm at all. Good thing I'm from Seattle and knew that we need coats. We just walked around and enjoyed all the sites. I even got offered to buy some weed from some kid who couldn't have been more than 17. Which was not smart since he was right in front of City Hall. We met a gorgeous black dog named Fredia and found a great park that Nathan enjoyed the various toys there. Sadly cause of the gloomy weather alot of things were wet so I had to be a bad mom and encourage him to start talking a walk with me. Nichelle really enjoyed the break from the stroller but we did get back in the stroller. Jordan was in court, maybe 10 minutes, so he met us on the boardwalk.

To get the chance to be with Jordan during the day is pretty rare so I said we had to do something else. Jordan came up with the idea of taking the ferry to Vashon and then driving across the island and take the ferry to the Point Defiance and drive on home. I thought it was a great idea. There was no warning horn so the ferry was awesome! Nathan enjoyed his echo and it was cool that there were hardly anyone on the boat. Nathan greeted everyone as he always does and Nichelle chased Nathan down the aisle. The kids had a great day and we saw some pretty awesome places and different neighborhoods.
