Well well well... I'm just not keeping up with our blog very well am I?

AAaAAaAaaAaAAaaaHH!!

Soooooooo, here I am trying to redeem myself by posting some photos from the past few months.

Our photos go waaaaaaaaaay back to Easter!! Gulp.  And how far away that seems.  Even looking at how Kendall has changed and is slowly turning into a young girl instead of a toddler. *sniff

Kendall will be 3 in 5 weeks, and I honestly can't believe it.  I won't get too sappy. But she still amazes me.

*with months worth of pictures, some of these are outta order, so I apologize.

So, guess what?  It's now August 5th and I had originally started this blog post in July.  Aaaaaaaaaaahh!!

It has been an absolutely INSANE month.  Some of you may know that we thought we were moving to Vancouver BC, when the move was nixed.  We were pretty bummed.  Then outta nowhere, a position in the Ukraine was suggested and the sleepless nights and  "can we make it?" consumed our minds.... After numerous conversations with people at work, Danny decided it wasn't the place for us.

We are now in a holding pattern, just enjoying every day we have here in Colorado.  We love our home.  We love being near Casey and Holly.  We love the community.  And we love our quiet neighborhood.

Our time in Colorado is short, and we have no idea when we will be leaving.
So we are ENJOYING every beautiful day here, and the cool nights... 

We have a busy end of summer coming with Auntie Lori, Mum, Bud & LilyPad headed here this week!!

We have a HUGE Tangled birthday party on August 11th for our Kendall Girl... and then a small celebration on her actual birthday on August 16th when Mom, Bud and Lily arrive!!

I'm bummed about missing my 20th Class Reunion on August 10-12... Just couldn't swing 3 trips home in 4 months.  But it's been a BLAST helping plan it and I can't wait to see all the crazy fun pictures from the weekend!!!

We are headed to Denver to watch our beloved SEAHAAAAAAAWKS play Peyton and the Broncos on Danny's big 34th birthday, August 18th!!!  We have been so lucky the past 2 years to be able to watch the Seahawks come to Denver for a pre-season game!!!  So fun and the fans are always pretty nice to us =]

We are so excited to be making TWO trips "home" to the Tri-Cities this year...
We will be partying and celebrating the nuptials of my brother John & Katie on September 22nd!!!
Kendall will be in her first wedding as a flower girl which we are so stinkin' excited about =]
Can't wait to see the all the TOGIAI family members as well, as we gather to celebrate John & Katie's marriage.

On this same wonderful journey to WA, we will be making our first trip to Safeco Field since summer of 2005... Hoping to catch the Ms play some great baseball, along with hanging out and catching up with a TON of our friends!! But wait, there's more... We are also going to watch... wait for it.  Wait for it....
The Green Bay Packers vs the Seattle Seahawks on
MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL!!
IN
SEATTLE!!!
AaaaaAAAaAAaaAaAaaaaHHhhHHh!!

So after a fairly quiet and routine summer, we have quite the line up for Fall.
I promise to update the blog sooner, rather then later.  Especially with Kendall's big 3 birthday party coming up on Saturday...

Happy August Everyone!!


XOXOXO
Danny, Heather, Kendall, Diva, Toothless & Flynn Rider (he's the new Betta in the family)

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.
