week 29

Judah got this new toy from our neighbors as a going away present. He is obsessed with it because it shoots balls out the elephants nose.
 This week mostly consisted of working on the new house to get ready to move in but Judah and I did make it back to the library program and blueberry picking with friends. He loved the fact that he could pick blueberries and eat them right away. I don't think any made it into his bag.

Week 28

Judah has continued to warm up to swim lessons. He now doesn't complain and is willing to participate in a few of the activities.

This week we had Judah's friends over to play with a parachute and do activities and we went to another spray park.
We went over to the Fore's house to play in the water. Mia decided Judah needed to get wet.
Our big news of the week is we bought a new house. We were able to get it at the auction and continue our adventure in flipping houses. Just when I thought I was done remodeling this summer.....
Judah has started to say many new words including Potty. He lets us know when he has gone to the bathroom so I got him a potty for when he is ready. He likes to play sit on it right now.

Week 27

This week we finished the house and got it on the market. Three days later we had two offers and accepted one! I am so happy the selling went so quick but it reminded me of Thanksgiving. You spend all day preparing a meal and then it is gone in 30 min. We met the family who is buying our house and they seem very nice. Hopefully all goes well in the next month and we are able to close. It did sink in that we now have to switch gears and find a new place to live in the next 3-4 weeks!

 In addition to working on the house on Tuesday I met up with my friend Katie and sis Kaaryn to go to a toddler program in Fife. When we got there we found out that it is postponed for the summer but they did have a playground program our kids attended instead but it was just doing a craft. Katie and I decided we are going to just start having our own program since we can't seem to find one. Tuesday night Judah started swim class. He HATED it. He clang to me and yelled I am done for about 15 of the 30 min. We have 7 more sessions so I hope he gets used to it.

Wed I met up with kar, katie, and Blair to take Judah to the South Park splash park. Judah was scared at first but then had a blast. He has been very clinging lately and his favorite word is help but it is kind of nice he is less of a daredevil.
Thur we got to hang out with Joshua all day because he had the day off but he had to work on listing our house. He did get to come to swim class with us and Judah was better. He let us turn him around so he didn't have to cling to us the whole time.

Fri the 4th we spent at the Fores with my mom and went to their neighborhood BBQ. We had a great time.
 Sat we went for a nice family bike ride in orting.

Week 26

In addition to working on the house this week Judah and I got in some outings.

Tuesday I took Judah to the Sparks center for a toddler class but it ended up being more of a daycare for parents working out at the gym. I was the only parent with my kid in there the rest were watched by three staff. So it was not really what I expected but Judah had fun.

Wednesday we went to the toddler class at the library and I loved it! They sing songs, read books, do nursery rhymes and play time. It is the best thing I have been too I can't believe it is free!!!!

Thursday we went to Wiggleworks with Kaaryn and Mia. That place is amazing and so fun for kids!! Judah had so much fun we went home and took a nap and then went back that night with Joshua.


Week 25

This week Joshua spent many hours at work and I spent many hours on the house. I knew it had been too much when Judah started using a broom as a paint brush copying what he had seen mommy doing all week. I decided the next week I would make sure and take a break every day and take him on an outing. Judah scared me half to death when he jumped up and started hanging off the bar that Joshua uses to hang doors to paint. He just hung there screaming. Poor strong baby!

 This week we celebrated Fathers day at Emerald Downs as usual. Joshua and I had no luck with the horses as usual :( Maybe next year!

Week 24

Im not sure how I still got a month behind while being off of work! At last I will catch you up on what we did in June.

Joshua's dad blessed Joshua and I with a date night without Judah. We went back to the Katie Downs, the first restaurant we went to as a couple.


This was my last full week of work. I am so excited for summer and to spend unlimited time with Judah.
