Saturday with Dad

Kate and Luke both brought me a trash bag wanting to wear them. After they had them on Kate said to Luke "Let's Dance!."

Nothing gives Luke more joy than an adventure in the garage.



He always finds a manly tool. This one was a little too heavy and it worried him.

A new playhouse

They have a playhouse at Costco on display and every time we go there the kids go nuts over it. It is very cool and very expensive. Steve told the kids that we couldn't buy it, but that he would build a playhouse for them. Kate has been begging and begging to get building. So Saturday was the big day. They got up early and got to work. Luke was in love with all the tools especially the hammer. He was hammering away at everything in sight. Kate assumed more of a supervisor position. The girl is so funny, she is really rockin her Big sister status. Every time I ask her to do something she replies, "Sure no problem" then she tells Luke to complete her assigned task and he delightfully listens. Then she tells him that he is a great little helper, and they are are both happy and so pleased with themselves. After a few days of hard work we have an almost finished playhouse and some very tired hard workers.

Poor Loved Jason

From the minute we brought Jason home from the hospital Luke has been totally, completely, and madly in love with him. He kisses him all day long. It is the craziest and sweetest thing ever. Poor Jason sometimes gets tired of Luke's overwhelming affection. Wonder how long it will last.

Why Luke, Why?

Luke can never be trusted alone. Not even for 5 minutes. I ran upstairs to get Jason up from his nap then foolishly decided to change his diaper and put him in a new outfit. I came downstairs to find this...

Us in a nutshell

I created this blog a long time ago and have yet to post a thing. So thanks to a few friends for your interest in me and encouragement to hurry up and get blogging. So here it is my first official blog post! I guess I'll start with a brief overview of the past few years. I married Steve ( who is my perfect match and I feel so lucky we found each other) in March 2006. We really lived it up as a young married couple for all of 15 months until our sweet Kate joined us on 6/28/07. She is great! She's very sweet and an easygoing kid. So we decided lets have another and Luke joined the family on 10/4/2008. He is CRAZY. He's a lot of fun and trouble but we still love him! We feel like we are in the baby zone. We figured why not have another one and so we did. Jason was born on 1/14/2010 and is possibly the sweetest baby in the whole world! I love being a mom and spending time with my kids. They are so much work but I experience moments with each of them everyday that make it all worth while.

Steve got his contractors license and we started up our very own business called Silver Sate Sheet Metal. Things were going great and we really thought we were going to be rich! Turns out we were wrong. When the recession hit we got hit pretty hard. We had to cut our loses, close the doors and come up with another plan. Steve was offered a decent job working for another construction company but he decided he'd like to do something different. He just got accepted into an accelerated nursing program and will have his Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 12 months. He is not totally thrilled about being a nurse (I have shared to many graphic nurse experiences with him) but hopes to go on and get his CRNA and administer anesthesia. We are very excited about plan B and looking forward to the change and opportunities it will bring to our family. Life hasn't been exactly what we were expecting but despite all the unexpected twists we feel truly blessed and are genuinely happy. Life is good at the Edington home.
