Birthday boy and other stuff

So my little baby turned 5 on Monday. Man did that go fast! My parents promised Jeiven that they would come for this 5th birthday ( and he didn't forget that promise) so even with their very busy schedules, they made the trip to his party on Saturday. We had it at this very cool place called the Children's Museum in Mount Vernon which is about a 30 minute drive from us here in a Anacortes. It has all sorts of educational stuff for kids as well as an indoor sandbox, thomas the train set, art station., and an actual big rig truck. Jeiven was in heaven. There were 13 kids at the party so it was busy but he loved it. He keeps talking about it over and over again and he is a very thankful kid so he says" thanks mom for my party.. it was SO fun".

Nascar was the car of choice this year so I caked again... It was fun :) Here are some pictures from the party

In other news... we found a place to live! YAY. Our friends the Gentry's parents have a beach house that is unoccupied currently so they are going to let us rent it until the house is ready. It is furnished too so we can put our stuff in storage and not have to move it in and out twice. The place is great. It is right on the beach with an outdoor fireplace and crabpots and everything so we will have a good time this summer with the kids as Joel is on his sabbatical. It has three bedrooms so the kids will have their own space..which is much needed! We are suppose to be out of our current place on the 15th of June so we have a few more weeks to pack.

Nothing new on the house project yet. Getting a little frustrated but I just have to let it go.. it will happen when it happens :) Here are a few more pictures of the kids with my parents and some of Malea.
