BIG NEWS!!!

Yes, That's right! We are going to be parents!

A little scary, I know but exciting!!

We told my mom and dad when we were having my birthday dinner.

I each gave them a present with the onesies in them! Dad at first thought it was underwear.

Their expressions were priceless when they realized what they were and what they said on them! It made dad so excited he couldn't look at the camera stright! ha, he went cross-eyed with excitement!

We did the same thing for Tyler's parents but we left the presents at their house and left (Tyler suffested it, I think he was a little nervous).

Tyler called and said we left the presents for them, a few minutes later I got a call from a Very excited Diana. This will be there first grandkid!!!

It's due March 21, 2011. We will be able to find out what it is on the last week of October!

Our Bathroom!

Since we have been working on the house we have redone Tyler has redone the plumbing,

fresh water lines, And the Bathroom and we are still working on the electrical. I can't do much so I just follow tyler around with a much that looks like a marshmallow trying to eat me. My job is talking to him, handing him tools, cleaning up and a little painting.

Tyler figured out everything himself! This is the last of the plumbing!

Here is our bathroom before, this is the reason why we decided to remodel it becuase around
the toilet there was a leak and it ruined the floor! We pulled this stuff up and the wood was all rotted! It was worse than we though.

The Rest of the bathroom. When we tore around the bathtub we disocovered they did a crappy

caulking job and the sheetrock behind is was also rotting really bad. EWWWW!

This was one of our temporary bathrooms. Always interesting to see how nasty it was.

We lived in Tyler's parents trailor that we parked by are house and got to use the bathroom in it which was a better but we still had to use the outhouse so the tank in the trailor wouldn't overfill. We shower and eat dinner and Tyler's parents house. We owe them a huge thanks!

Tyler working on the tile! We are getting closer!

The Grout job around the tub!

Our new sink and light fixture (we found at a garage sale for $20. yay!)

Drum Roll!!!! THE FINISHED BATHROOM!
I get to sleep and and go the bathroom in my own home!!!
All we have left is trim and electricity! yay!

Cascade Three Summit Challenge

When Tyler started working for his company a co-worker who road biked told volunteered

Tyler to ride in a race that the company was sponsoring. They had 10 people ride for the company. It was a hard ride- 65 miles with 3 summits, one was a 10% grade.
Tyler before the ride!

The beginning of the race.

Tyler Riding up the last summit! Looks a little tired!

The ride wasn't too hard for him though I guess because now he wants to

buy a bike and train for the LOTOJA!!!!

Mount Rainier

Tyler got to climb Mount Rainier during the 4th of July with his climbing buddy Jo Crane.

This is him celebrating on the top of the mountain. He had perfect weather on the

day they summited and had an awesome time. Now he wants to climb a bigger mountain.

This is Camp Muir, where Tyler camped. Looks a little steep.

This is one of the many huge glaciers on the mountain. I like this
picture because it shows the layers.

Looks like the clouds are part of the mountain. Careful, don't step off

into thin air!

The Trail going up the mountain at sunset.

They made it off the mountain safely until the car ride home. Barely out of the

park they ran out of gas and had to hitch hike to a gas station and back to the car.

Good ending to a fun hike.

Our New Home

Tyler and I bought a home at the end of June. It is a cute

little white house in town. 2 bedrooms one bath and "not

much of a backyard," according to Carter, but we have a really

cool secret passageway that Carter got to see.

The House has taken up a lot of the summer because we are doing some work on it.

It's finally getting close to being done. So I will post some pictures!
