Click here for a current update on our new house

June 19, 2004
We went down to Aunt Julie's house to spend the weekend and hang out. Melina and I got to play in the bean field next to Aunt Julie's house.

Then we went to Elgin to see the parade. They were throwing candy at us! I made sure I was ready!

The truck came yesterday and dropped off our stuff at the apartment. Then the truck went to storage and dropped off a whole bunch of stuff. Then the weather started to get bad. The sirens around the apartment started to go off, and Grandma said we had to go in the basement because there was a Tornado Warning.

There was a lot of rain and wind for a few minutes, but then it was gone and we went back upstairs.

Today, we got a chance to see where our house will be built. Dad said he'll take a lot of pictures and put them on my site. Here's one taken today

We're here! We got to the apartment last night and slept in sleeping bags. Dad had to go to work today, and Mom is going to take us to Grandma's house where we will stay until Friday, when the truck arrives

Dad was too busy to take pictures, but he did get one of us playing with his coins at the apartment

The drive to Minnesota was long. We stayed in Salt Lake City the first night. Then I got to ride with Dad. We stopped in Kearney, Nebraska next. Then I got to ride with Dad again. While we were in Nebraska, we stopped at this airplane museum. Dad said it's the Strategic Air Command Museum, whatever that means. Trevor, Joshua, Melina, and I really liked the airplanes. It was fun.

I got to sit in one of the airplanes with Melina. Dad said this was a B-52

Now that our stuff is gone, the house looks really empty.

We took one last picture in front of the house and started to drive to Minnesota. The bottom picture was taken somewhere in Nevada.

The moving truck came by and took almost all of our stuff. It was a really big truck. Dad said we're going to get to Minnesota before the truck gets there.

Now that school is done, we're spending more time in the pool. The moving truck is coming tomorrow, so we're going to go swimming!

I'm almost done with my first year in Kindergarten. I had a lot of fun. I was also chosen Student of the Month for my grade.

May 15, 2004
I've been playing T-Ball for about 4 weeks, and I really like it. We play at this park way on the top of this hill, and we can see far far away. I like T-Ball.

Joshua just got his gold belt in karate. He's been going to karate for 2 months, but he can't go anymore because we're moving. But he wants to keep doing karate in Minnesota

April 28, 2004
Dad won an award at work called the Intel Achievement Award. Mom and Dad went to San Diego to celebrate while Melina, Joshua, and I stayed with Lolo and Lola. Dad told me the man with the white hair is named Craig Barrett and is the CEO, whatever that means

We just got back from Minnesota, and it was a really long drive. We sold our house and bought a new one in two days. Mom was really busy picking out everything that was going to be in the house.

Below are pictures of what our house will look like in Minnesota.

Mom picked out the colors for the outside of the house, and all of the stuff on the inside too

The trip home was really, really long, but we made it in two days. And we had Easter Brunch in Denver. Here's how the road looked after we passed through the mountains

I was in my first T-Ball parade. My team is the Mariners. I can't wait to start playing.

Mommy's back home! She can't move around too fast, so Aunt Julie and Dad are working hard to get the house cleaned up so we can make it look better so people will want to buy it. Here's Aunt Julie, Mommy, and Melina, right after Mommy came home.

Mommy had surgery yesterday. Aunt Julie came here to help with everything. Dad stayed home to be with us. We hope to see Mommy on Saturday.

Melina and I are playing in the backyard. It's still a little cold.

January 19, 2004
Mom and Dad went to Minnesota to look for a place to live, while Melina, Joshua, and me stayed with Lola and Lolo. Dad said Minnesota was really cold, but the got to see Aunt Julie, Uncle Mike, Uncle John, and Aunt Brenda, and my other cousins.
