No, I didn't fall off the face of the Earth

Ok, So, I'm a really, really bad blogger. In my defense I haven't had a (good) computer since February. No offense mom and dad. I just need some software that I can do the backgrounds and fun stuff with.

So, anyway on with the goods.


A lot has happened in the past 6 months. We'll start where we left off.

February: My last post was February 4th little did I know that 5 days later I would no longer be employed. That's ok, I was only working part time. I just look at it as a tough decision (financially) to be a SAHM was made for me. To be honest I it was a blessing. I'm really loving it too. Yeah, some days get to be difficult, but nothing is better than being with the boys, including Marc. They said they'd call me when they needed me, but I'm not banking that will be anytime soon with the economy the way it is.

March: Not that this is really important, but I celebrated my um...... wait ... hold on .... ok yeah my 26th birthday. Sorry, but to be honest after about 21 you stop keeping count. Maybe because it's crappy to be getting closer to 30. (Sorry Jamie and Mattie). - Sorry Dad I forgot to mention that you and I share March as our birthday month. Yea dad!

April: This month was big for Logan. He turned the big 01. We had a small thing with Lu-Lar at our house. Mommy made him a white cake with chocolate mousse frosting. He really enjoyed his cake.

May: We just took it easy. I went to see my mom and dad for a week. After the trip we (my sisters with spouses, brother, mom, and dad) went to see the Hawkins' at their daughter Jennie's wedding reception. The next day we (now including Marc) went to do endowments and initiatory sessions at the Bountiful temple for some family names my Grandma Hunter researched. That was really neat. I think it was the first time all of us were in the temple together since Erin was married 3 years ago. Oh, and we got a larger vehicle to fit our growing family.

June: We headed up north to Coeur D'Alene to see Grandma and Grandpa Dunn, Doug, Mar, and Allie. We had a really great time. They have a really large park by the lake that the little ones played at. Here's a slide show of the pictures.



July: This is a big month for the Green Family. There are a lot of birthdays to be had here. We celebrated Marc's Birthday on the 9th. Grant's on the 16th. Plus both my mom and Marc's dad have July Birthdays. This was the first year that we had a big party for Grant. We invited some of his friends from church and from preschool. We filled our kiddie pool up and put out the bean bag toss. To be honest I think they liked the pool the best. Grant asked for a McQueen Cake this year so I acquiesced to his request.

So that's about it for now. I'll catch you up on August later.

It's Finally Here

Here are our Christmas Pictures and some videos. We spent the Holidays with Marc's family in Boise this year.

I will get there I promise!

I will get around to posting my Christmas stuff. We got a new camcorder for Christmas and we need to figure out how to use it. But until then, here are some videos of Grant of Christmas' past to quell your appetite.

Just some Random Pictures

Our Vacation

OK , so last May Marc, Grant, Logan, and I took a week and went to see both his grandparents. The thing with seeing his Grandparents is G & G Green live up in Silverdale, Wa and G & G Dunn live in Coeur D'Alene, Id. So, needless to say we had quite the drive ahead of us. We left here Sunday morning and planned on driving to Portland, Or. Marc's Uncle Jim manages an Embassy Suites there and we could stay the night there and head on to Silverdale the next day.

Well, after 12 hours of driving we finally got to Portland. (we left home @ 9:00 am and get there after 9:00 pm.) It really shouldn't take that long, but with a newborn you have to do that stopping every time he needs to eat. I was really excited because I have never been to Oregon before, and I got to see a lot of it. Two interesting facts about Oregon: The interstate speed limit is only 65 mph (1/2 the reason it took so long to get to Portland), and you can't pump your own gas. Yes, that is correct, it is a state law that you can't pump your own gas.

Anyway on to Silverdale. We made a quick stop in Vancouver at Marc's Aunt Dede's book store. (She is Jim's wife if you didn't make that connection). The rest of the trip to Siverdale wasn't as bad as the drive to Portland. This one only took us about 6-7 hours. This part was also neat because I have never been to Washington either. OK, so side tracking a little, in my structural engineering course @ UW we watched a video on "Galloping Gertie". Galloping Gertie was the Tacoma Narrows bridge that collapsed in 1940 due to some poor structural engineering. Anyway it was really neat for me to see the bridge that we learned about in my class.

So back to the vacation. Tuesday we went with Marc's other Uncle Jim (on the Green's side) on a ferry from Bremerton to Seattle. We walked around the docks for a little bit and went up to the famous Pike Place Market. We didn't have time to go to the Space Needle, but I'm sure we'll be in Seattle again. That night we had a action packed game of hand and foot. G & G kicked our trash. Marc and I didn't do very well.Wednesday we hung around with grandma and grandpa and looked around Silverdale. That night Marc's Uncle Jim, and Aunt Anita came over for dinner with some of their kids. I was a little bummed because Uncle Bill couldn't come and he is the only one out of the 7 Aunts and uncles I haven't met yet.

We left Silverdale Thursday morning and drove to Coeur D'Alene, that took about another 6-7 hours. So I got to see more of Washington. There was even a ski resort still open with at least 3-5 feet of snow on the ground! We drove through Spokane and saw where Doug and Mar are moving to in July. Then, finally back to Idaho. We spent Thursday evening @ G & G Dunn's house. Friday we headed up to Lake Pend Oreille ( yeah another french name). They have a time share at Pondoray Shores resort. We went fishing, swimming, and walked around the lake.

I guess we had to come home sooner or later. Sunday we left for Lewiston so we could break up the trip home. The drive home is amazing. There are 2 huge grade drops one as you come into Lewiston and another before you get to Riggins. So ,there you go. I actually did the math and we were in the car driving almost the same amount of time that we were not.

Oh and one last thing Congrats to Uncle Jim and Aunt Ann for their mission call to Sydney, Australia! We'll miss you!

Whoa! I'm a slacker!

I predicted this would happen! Well, A LOT has changed since my last post. Marc and I have another boy now. Logan Hunter Green was born on April 9 at 4:04 pm, weighed 7# 3oz, and was 20 inches long. I was hoping for a girl, but I realized that Grant really needs a little brother to play with. He is a little pudge. It is amazing how he is packing on the pounds.

I'm now working part time at Power Engineers so I can spend more time with Grant and Logan. Grant will turn 3 in July and he is getting his own personality that sometimes is a little difficult.

Marc painted our living room, dining room and kitchen and put some chair rail up so our house looks a lot better now. The exsiting paint when we bought the house didn't do it justice.

Just some pictures and movies
