Thursday, July 7, 2011

I had decided the boys would be baptized at the same church that I was baptized at 23 years ago. Evergreen Lutheran is the chuch I call home and it is where both Scotty & Zac have attended preschool. So when we set the date for July 3, Jay decided he would get baptized along with them since he had never been. Thus, all four of the Wahrmund boys were the headliners in last week's service and the church had a little reception afterward. Scott, Nik, Max, Nik's mom, Jay's mom, my dad & Vicky, and our friends Jeff & Carin came to witness and enjoy this special day.

4th of July Block Party

Yes, someone really did give Zac fire...

Had a great 4th, the weather was perfect for BBQing and being outdoors. Set up the volleyball net, fired up the smoker-grill, and hammered together the firework launcher/stand for the evening. Friends and family came to gather, neighbors filled the cul de sac and lots of fun was had. No one lost their face by a spiked volleyball and no one was lit on fire, despite all the firecrackers being thrown about. We had a ton of fireworks and it was a great show. Good old fashioned summer fun. Unfortunately forgot to bring out the camera til almost sun down....but owell.

Six Years Old

My six year old, soon-to-be first grader...OY!! Scotty turned 6 on June 30 and he chose to celebrate his birthday at Chuck E Cheese with family and a couple friends. I love Chuck E Cheese for the basketball shooting game, it is a side by side set up that you can play competition with another person. Nikki and I played that game til all ~~our tokens~~ the kids' tokens were gone, breaking a sweat and forgetting about our surroundings for a good 45 minutes in the process. Feel bad for any child that was waiting to play it....first come, first serve suckas :) Hey, its the place where a kid can be a kid....er, an adult can be a kid? It was a good way to work off the pizza and cake. I forgot my camera, so all I have to share are these few shotty pics from the mother in law's camera....I did get a couple the next morning of Scotty playing with his new legos, the only thing he wanted for his birthday. He played with them til 11 PM that first night and got up at 6 AM the following morning to play some more until all parts were put together. Legos rule. And so does the side by side basketball hoop game...

Dependent's Cruise

Jay's ship pulled into Port Angeles on June 25th for the Air Station Centennial celebration and the boys and I went up to meet him and tootle around one of our favorite towns for the evening. The following morning, Scotty & Zac got to accompany Jay on the five hour dependent's cruise to Seattle. The boys had a great time and no one got sea-sick, like I had anticipated. They watched other ships go by, the helo fly-bys and other activities onboard ship. They were exhausted when I picked them up that evening, but had lots of fun memories to share.

My Baby Boy Trev

My sweet baby turned one today. I found myself just wanting to hold him as much as possible today and like usual, he was lovey right back and welcomed mommy's crazy emotions. He really has been an angel and I know God blessed me with such an easy going baby because the other two definitely give me more than enough to handle. I cannot believe it has been a year since Trev came into this world. I was in love the moment I laid eyes on him. Sadly, I will admit, I don't remember feeling that way immediately with the other two....with Scotty, it was complete fear and disbelief at first and with Zac, it was "whose child is this?"....funny how it is still that way at times to this day. I love all my boys to no end, but with Trev, maybe because I knew he would be my last, I felt immediate bliss and have been completely head over heels ever since. I thank God for these three little blessings that remind me every day (amongst dirt and noise) of what is really important. Happy Birthday to my littlest boy.

Mighty Mount Rainier

Decided to take a little road trip with the boys and my niece this past Memorial Day and head up to Mt Rainier. Its been years since I was last there - high school maybe? That was a LONG time ago. Anyway, it was between going to the mountain or to the ocean and Max seemed a little more excited about the mountain, so that's where we went. Unfortunately, the weather was not ideal....cloudy with a chance of rain. But I know if we wait for a clear day, we may never go. Thus, here's what the mountain looks like on a clear day from the Paradise Visitors Center at 5400 ft elev:

And here's what we saw yesterday:

So, we definitely went to the mountain, we just never actually saw the mountain. Kind of a bummer, but we had fun anyway. Still managed to escape rain and have an actual picnic lunch outside at one of the rest stops. And we did get to see some interesting things along the way. The Paradise Visitor Center was especially educational....and warm. And now at least Max can finally say she's been to the mountain.

Picnic at Kautz Creek rest stop

This fox was in the middle of the road and when we stopped to take a picture of him, he just sat down as if to pose...then he started heading toward us! EEK!
