Slacker


So, i've been a slacker on our blog. I know. I stink. Anyway, Last Saturday James and Sierra went to a concert. It was slipknot, saliva, static x, mudvayne and a few more bands. Sierra had a blast. Slipknot didn't end up playing but they seemed to enjoy it anyway.


Other than that things have been pretty boring. I finally got the job i've wanted to that will be nice! I am so over being home all day! I am ready to be working again. I start this next Tuesday.


Sierra has dance class tonight & then maybe a few times next week. The dance season doesn't offically start until school starts which is september 8th. I am sure I will have a lot of news to share in the coming months!


I think that is about it. I will try to be better at keeping my blog up to date!

What we've been up to

I know I haven't posted much lately.

Last weekend we went and decluttered up stairs. We got rid of a lot of Sierra's old clothes and toys. I also move some of the furniture in her room around and I like how it looks now!

Yesterday I had a job interview that went really well and I was told I will for sure be getting a call back so I am looking forward to that. It's the perfect job for me so we will see!

Thursday is Sierra's dance teams parents meeting. We will find out a lot of information about the upcomming competition season. We should find out her class schedule and when the competitions are. I am looking forward to the meeting!

Friday is Sierra's team meeting for the kids. She will be told what is expected, etc.

Saturday we are cleaning out the garage. We have way too much stuff in there.

Next wednesday we are going to a concert where my brother in law Tom will be opening for a band.

And some exciting news for Sierra. She is going to a Miley Cyrus concert next month! She is very excited to go! She will have a lot of fun.

Other then that not much new to report.

Family Day Cruise 2009

James' ship had a family day cruise today. We had a blast! We drove to the base and caught a bus to Seattle. The ship was in Seattle for seafair. At first it was a little chilly and very windy but eventually it got hot (of course, we are still having a heat wave... at least its not 102 anymore!). The ship did a couple of cool things... they sped up as fast as they could and did an emergency stop. That was pretty cool because the waves behind us crashed under the ship. Then they did a man overboard drill where they dropped a rhib (a small little boat) into the water and rescue swimmers "searched" for the person. They kept announcing how far they were from the person who went overboard and how long they'd be in the water. Then they had a BBQ with steaks, chicken and burgers. In the middle of the underway sierra lost a tooth. This is the second one she has lost. When we were pulling into port there were sea lions along this floating fense thingy they had. pretty cool! Below are soem pictures and if you want to view more you can see them at the link to the side of this blog ;)


going fast :)


James and Sierra






can you find the sea lion?



lost another tooth!



Also, Sierra has been selected to be in her dance school's competition team. It is an honor and sierra is extremely excited. She goes to one of the best dance schools in the northwest and they always win!
