It's been a YEAR since my last blog!


Wow, it's seriously been FOREVER since I last blogged about my boys and me!   My biggest excuse is that this platform wasn't working well with my work computer, and when I'm at home I rarely get on a computer.


What's going on now?  Ronin has a new hermit crab named Hermie!  We got him last weekend, I hope he lives a few months before kicking the bucket.


Quinn has a black eye from running into a metal post at the boat house.


The divorce was final last fall.  I'm going to Ireland in July with 3 other ladies.  I'm taking the boys to Disneyland in October for their first time :)


It's going to be hard to catch up on the last year, so I'll start with now and try to keep it updated. 


School is almost out and Ronin will be a 3rd grader this fall!  He's growing so fast!  He's so smart and so creative :)  He's finally gotten into reading and sometimes we'll just read to ourselves at bed time.  He's decided he wants to be a veterinarian instead of a scientist.  I think this is a likely choice since he loves animals so much.  I remember having a big heart for all the animals when I was younger.  Not sure if I grew out of it or my heart got a little colder through all the trials and tribulations I've had dealing with the people type of animals...  :/


Quinn is... well... a typical 4 year old.  Full of energy and temper tantrums at times.  But always cracking us up!

I'll start the photo's with Quinn's 4th Birthday last November...   soooo many photo's!

For mothers day we decided to go on the Yacolt train ride.  The boys enjoyed it and it was a nice day for it :)






There's a woman who makes southern food about twice a week and you have to reserve your spot early.  Two of my coworkers and I went one Monday evening, the food was soooo good!

Ronin REALLY wants a turtle, and somehow he talked me into a hermit crab last weekend.  So here it is.
