School Update...

While I am actually taking the time out of my schedule to post a couple updates I figured I would let you know what is happening on the home front school wise. LOTS!!! I am now in my 2nd quarter of the Radiologic Technology program at CBC, that is for x-rays not to be confused with working at the Hanford area. I am currently taking classes two days a week and going to Prosser Memorial Hospital two days a week for clinicals. I absolutely love it, I have definitely found what I am supposed to be doing!!! The best part about my job is I get to meet incredible people who are having a bad day, talk to them, try and figure out what is going wrong and help to begin the process of getting them better, and if the are grumpy for any reason I do my job and pass them back to the nurses...boo-ya! Alex, well he is in his 1st quarter of the nursing program at CBC, he is loving it! He hasn't started any clinicals yet but I know when he does he will be a force to be reckoned with, he has awesome bedside manner and always does that little extra to make a patients stay a little better. While it is only the begging of our 2 year marathon we have already noticed things getting crazy when it comes to scheduling but we have been able to do something fun with the girls at least once a week to let them know we still love them and want to spend valuable time with them, we also make it a point to pick them up from preschool/daycare together everyday...they light up everyday when they see mommy and daddy walk up to get them. I will be sure to keep you posted how school is going...

Family Pictures this Summer

Coming Soon!

So it has been 2 years since I was able to post...boo! My blogging time got taken over by homework time, a good excuse if you ask me. I just want to let you know that I am officially updating as we speak! I will have new photos and information about the Linn gang up soon! I love you guys and hope you check in with the family.

Our Memorial Day Fun!

Since it was about 85 degrees outside we decided we couldn't waste it. We got the girls ready and were headed out to Columbia Park, to play at the Playground of and in the water. When we got there we found that the rest of the Tri-Cities had the same idea. So we went with plan B, we got some water toys at Target. Alex picked out a slip n' slide, but it has three lanes and little boogey boards to race with. And I got a little caterpillar to hook up to the hose, it was fun to. We called Addisyn's little friend Talen and he came over. They had a blast.

Harper just hanging out with Chalene while I ran around taking pictures of all the fun.


Addisyn scoping out the slip n' slide, while daddy set it up.

Showing off their boards. Soaked to the bone.


Harper again, she had to put on her suit.


After we finished playing with the toys, we used my parents yard since they were in Yakima, we headed to BBQ at Aaron, Chalene and Talen's casa. We had burgers and while we were waiting we put the kids on the tramp and turned on the sprinkler underneath them. It was so funny to watch, the kids could hardly jump it was so slippery.

Talen and Addisyn bouncing around, while the parents sat back and laughed.

Outside Art

So on Wednesday, while Harper was taking her afternoon nap Addisyn and I decided we wanted to go outside. We needed to spend a little time together just the two of us, since we don't get as much time alone anymore. I had went to Target and picked up some side walk chalk. We played outside together for a couple hours. It was such a blast, and I noticed that it helped Addisyn and me. We were able to have patience with each other the rest of the day. I took a ton of pictures but these are my favorite.
She loves to draw, and drawing on the sidewalk was such an adventure for her.
Addisyn's favorite shoes! I looked everywhere to find them, but they were always sold out in her size.

Just a little note that we left for Daddy to see as he headed for his car to go to work that night, it really brightened his day, he told us the next morning.

Time to Update...

Alright, so it has been a while since I have updated,but I do have a good explination. I started back to school this quarter at CBC. I am continuing my education, though it has turned itno more of a ten year plan. When I finish I hope to be a Ultrasound Tech, in the Radiology Program. Wish me Luck! Well, enough about me, most are just interested in the girls. WEll, a lot has been happening in the Linn household, they are getting bigger. Harper is now 7 months old and has began eating solids, she started Sweet Potatoes yesterday, she is definatley a lot harder to feed then Addisyn was. She gags on everything. I am having a blast though. Addisyn is still everybit 2. She loves to count to 10 and is learning her ABC's. She can do A-G then she needs a little help. She loves to sing Happy Birthday, and Primary Songs. Addisyn is a shinning star in Nursery, she loves the attention and she difinatley gets it during singing time.

Hop n' Down the Bunny Trail

Happy Easter All... Yesterday was a busy day for our family. Addisyn got a visit from the Easter Bunny, she was so excited, Harper is still to small to understand obviously. Alex got home from work at 8:30 that morning, and quietly got the eggs that I stuffed the night before and hid them outside, Addisyn had already woken up and came into my room and was just laying with me in bed, when he got inside I dressed her and we took her into the living room to see the surprise awaiting her. Then we went to look for the eggs that the bunny hid, she had so much fun. After that we got ready and went to church.

























That night, we had the annual Spanner family Easter dinner and hunt. It was so much fun, I was able to get eggs a lot easier this year without my brother Shane tackling me, at least until Alex got aggressive. He thought he was tough, but I am an Anderson, I took him down. Then he thought he could beat me to an egg, he dove through the hedge but in the moment his eggs flew out of the basket and into the road, it was the talked about move of the night. Addisyn was keeping Papa Jack busy running for eggs. It was quite windy and chilly so Harper and Aunt Cody snuggled together inside.
