She's all growed up...

So my baby is not much of a baby anymore. Each day she seems to accomplish something that makes this mama want to cry. Her newest thing is riding a bike. She has always amazed us with how quickly she learns things. She becomes persistent and doesn't want to quit until shes got it. With the warm weather outside, Damon figured it was a better time than any to teach her. After a day and a half of him running up and down the driveway.....

we get this......

Our fourth was fun. Papa gave Evan a summer haircut, by shaving his head. His new nickname....Spalding. :) We went to a friends house and had a BBQ and put on our own show. Even though the kids loved the lights in the sky Evan would still plug his ears every once in a while.

Sparklers!!

Evan sat like this for a lot of it until he realized that it wasn't really that loud. Too funny!!

And then to top it all off...Chloe now has 2 missing teeth!

And so it begins.......

So the exciting news!.... Damon scored really high with the Pasco Dept., so now begins the Background! Its all a little nerve racking, but mostly because its the fear of the unknown, and having to play the waiting game. Not exactly my favorite game. No one really knows how long the process takes, but we are praying that things move quickly, and he receives a phone call saying they would like to have him in for a Chiefs Interview. After that it would be a polygraph test and another physical abilities test. Then Lord willing into the Police Academy he would go. Please just keep us in your prayers as we journey through this as a family. Pasco is a neat place, a little warmer than the "traditional" Northwest, which would be very ideal to Damon. (I don't mind the rain as much :)) Its a part of the Tri-Cities, and right near 3 rivers, so its pretty! I just want all of this to be done, and see Damon in a job that he would love. Thanks in advance for all your prayers.
