June 2012: Week Four

After getting home from a long, but very fun & very memorable several days in  Portland, we were exhausted.  This week was spent relaxing & getting caught up on 'life'. 

Cashe had his first day at 'school'.  The school he is going to here is not quite the same as the one in Eagle (sob sob), but I'm coping.  He's obviously fine with it, but I miss the organization & the structure & the fact that everyone had a degree in early childhood development. 

I love Twin, but it lacks some of the 'finer things in life' & I realize that perhaps that's God way of telling me to use my own education to 'school' my child instead of sending him off to school.  It's certainly something I'm praying about, but for now, he can use the socialization with kids his own age (instead of a 33-year-old boring mom) & I'll get caught up on some work.

The weather in Twin is much like Boise, but with far more wind (that never goes away, it seems).
It's been in the high 80s, 90s & even 100 this week!
And with all the heat, Cashe still finds it necessary to sport his Lightning McQueen moon boots.

Matt & Ali sent me a pic of the gift we got them all pieced together --
the 'vase' is a wine bottle from the night Matt proposed.  Awe.

Uncle Matt sent this cool picture of Thomas the Train in Tillamook, OR on their honeymoon. 
How sweet of them to be thinking of Mr. Cashe-man while on his honeymoon.  Awe.

The Bradleys came & stayed with us Friday night on their way to CA. 
We went to dinner at Johnny Carino's & Cashe ate 3 loaves of bread & a pizza!

And he had a BALL with Kohlman. 
He followed poor Kohlman around all night & the next morning.

We finally got caught up on our sleep too (even Lightning McQueen got some extra zzzz's!)

Saturday night, we decided to get ice cream & rent some movies. 
Cashe was watching Bambi downstairs & decided to pull of his shirt partially & walk around with his "Puppies" movie.  Obviously Bambi was not a hit.

Sunday afternoon after church, we decided we would go to Jackpot to swim in their pool while Daddy gambled.
We had SOO much fun together & wore ourselves OUT. 

Can you sense the exhaustion in his face?

How 'bout now?

It was a great week to catch up & prepare for my next trip to Missoula, where I'll  be running my half marathon with my high school friends.  I'm psyched to see everyone, but not sure I'm prepared for the run.  I ran 12 last week & was POOOPED, but I did it.  I just hope it's fun & undoubtedly it will be!

Soooo glad we had some time as a family to enjoy each other & catch up on a little lovin'.  XOXO
