Ethans 2nd Birthday!

Today was Ethan's Second Birthday! It's hard to believe time can go so fast! I was just told last night that I am going to be an Aunt again come November! I'm so excited to have another Niece or Nephew. It's so hard to imagine loving someone else as much as I love Ethan, but I know I will. Anyway- here are some photos of his Birthday party.

Here is his new room that mom painted for him- he loves it!





Ethan being a Ham- ounce again



His new Basketball and hoop!
He does so good :)





His new bed that he got, along with the bedspread that aunt Amy got him to match his room :)
He loves his new bed and will not come out of his room anymore! So all in all i think he had a pretty good birthday. Happy Birthday little man!

Happy St. Pattys Day!

On Friday night i went and saw an awesome band called The monsters of Classic Rock.
They were so good and all of the band members played for big bands such as: AC/DC, Steve Miller Band, Ozzy Osborne and XYZ. Well, we started off the evening with some Pina Calads that I have mastered making :) The stems on the glass change colors.






Jill and I ENJOYED a class or two :)




As well as my co-worker and a friend :)







We all 4 headed out to the TRAC were the event was
being held at where I ran into a friend I haven't seen
in a while.



We all made it home safely and and had a wonderful time together! Hope everyone had an awesome Saint Patricks Day!

Last weekend I got a new digital camera so i wanted to share some of the photos my friend Jill and I took while trying out some new settings.

This is my living room with no lights on- I just have the 2 candles lit and it was 9:00 at night. But i thought the picture turned out so good being i couldn't even see what i was taking a picture as. :)










This is Jill and I having fun :) How Cute!








This Is Jill Crackin Nuts in my Kitchen- she made a huge mess but it was fun!

update on funeral

So if you read my last blog I told you about how awesome our community was to all come together to support our fallen soldier. Here is how cool we are. Yesterday for the protest, 2500 to 3000 people showed up to stay outside and over 1000 were inside for the actual funeral, over 1500 motorcycles were there with all sorts of different groups and only four, yes 4 of them from Kansas. Don't think they will be back. To read the full story you can find it here.

Please check it out if you have time, its an awesome story. Once again, Proud to be AN AMERICAN and from the TRI-CITIES!!

Our Hero

Today was the funeral for a Tri-City Solder that died in Iraq last month! Today I did something that meant so much to me because I support everyone of our solders over there right now, as i have many friends that have been there and are still there! There is a church from Kansas City that goes and protests at the funerals for all our soldiers that die! First of all this makes me so sick to just hear about it. So the family of Sgt. Travis Pfister asked that friends family and our community come together and block the protesters view from being able to see anything. So today i went thinking i would be one of a few hundred people with our American Flags Supporting our troops. Man i was wrong! It took me 30 minuets to get a block from the event (which was being held at the TRAC in Pasco). Not only were there a few hundred people, but alone over 500 motorcycles and a few thousand people protesting the protesters! The highways and intersections were so jam packed you were unable to budge, from the distance you could see 2 huge American flags hanging from cranes and fire Tuck's ladders- it was a sight to see. So I find a parking spot and walk over to were everyone was standing to turn around and find 5-10 of these protesters that came out from Kansas holding digesting signs that read such as.. "God ate our children" "your pastors a whore" "God hates Fags" etc etc... The sings were horrible! Not only where there adults out there, but young teenagers and kids as well. They were yelling at us the entire time, but we were asked by the family to not respond or yell back, but to just simply turn your backs on them and block there view from seeing anything. People were going by in there cars honking there horns at us and waving in support. It was such an awesome feeling to be there i had goosebumps. After being there only a short time, the 5-10 of them got in the car and left as we all chanted the "hey, hey, hey, Good- bye" song and they were escorted out by 3 police cars and a shitload of motorcycles. I don't think they will be stopping anywhere close to town for a while.
