Puyallup Parks

UPON REQUEST, here's the latest with the Silva Family!

Jason - started his new job yesterday for General Construction. For those of you who do not know, his company Kiewit owns General and this year has brought a bit of change for the Seattle Building District, so Jay had to choose another distric to go to work for, so he chose General. It's still Kiewit, but it's called General. Confusing enough? It's a bit of transition for him, with the new people and new responsibilties, I think he's feeling a bit overwhelmed. But I know he will do great!

Alecia - I just finished my E-business class, and got an A! Woo-hoo! My GPA is now a 3.86! Do you like that? How does it sound? Well, it won't last for long. Next Tuesday, I'm starting my upper level Statistics course, and I think we all know what that means....I'll let you know what my "Real" GPA is after this course is over. (sniff, sniff...It was good while it lasted!) I only have 3 - count 'em, 1-2-3, classes left. After Statistics, I have 7 weeks off of school, where we will be going to Mexico and the timing couldn't have been more perfect. Nothing like the tropics to help mend wounded souls, and trust me, Statistics will seriously wound a soul. Also, I graduate June 24th at the Key Arena at 10am. (So, if any of you wanna come see me in my cap and gown, come one, come all! No tickets required)

Andrew - His first year of preschool is quickly coming to an end and he has done very well. I am simply grateful and very impressed with all he's learned this year. I love that his school takes education seriously, and does not turn preschool into a glorified daycare. He is just growing up so fast, but he's still my baby and I really do love what a sweet little man he is!

Alivia - She turned one in April and is doing very good. She's still the sweetest little peanut and I absolutely cannot imagine our family without her. Her doctor has signed her up for physical therapy because she is not pulling up to standing, crusing or walking on her own yet. I'm hoping this will be good for her and help her catch up physically where she needs to be. And the way it has been described to me, she's pretty much going to be doing Baby Pilates. She's so trendy.

And.....Lets see....yesterday I took the kids to the park, in Puyallup, because after living her for 5 years and complaining about how the round here suck, I finally learned that the Puyallup ones DO NOT! So, off to the park we went, it was a wonderful day outside and both the kids love being outside.

I brought a big cozy blanket to set out on the grass to keep my baby clean, however she had other things in mind. She decided not only to venture far, far out into it, she also decided to eat it, blade by blade. (Someone please insert a witty comment about the coincedense of my nickname "Moo-Moo" and my child grazing grass)

So we moved her to the swings and as you can see by the pictures, she loved being ON the swing. She did not however love being taken OFF the swing. Notice there are no picutres of that.






Now to all of you who religiously look at our blog, I apologize for neglecting it terribly. I have not been doing my job as a Blogger. And I thank you for caring enough to call me hideously filthy names, all in the name of love....er somethin'.....
