Hurray! Adam graduates climbing school!

Even after his five day hospital stint with Rhabdomyolysis (click here for a definition) Adam graduated from climbing school. Glad he's not afraid of heights!

Our condo on wheels!

Welcome to our new camper, or the rolling condo as we call it. It's pure luxury in our world (more storage than my whole house!). We love it and can't wait to take it up skiing. It's perfect for camping, or just relaxing after a long day, having a beer in the driveway, pretending to be somewhere else.

It looks a little tight by the photos, but it's amazingly spacious. The bed is a true queen and is the perfect size for us. Now if only Kona would stay in his OWN bed.

The kitchen has plenty of storage and counterspace. The dinette seats four adults comfortably. Can't really say the same for sleeping. It sleeps one adult easily.

It's a shower and bathroom in one!

Since the last time we spoke!

Hello family and friends! A lot has happened since the last time we blogged. I'm really sorry it's been so long! To keep you a little more in the loop Adam is now an offical lineman apprentice, which he beat out 542 people for the position! Otherwise here are a few of the fun things we've been up to:

Big Wal and Gina bought a fabulous new Motorhome!

Adam ran a marathon and I ran/walked a 1/2. Can you believe it? How crazy are we?

Amy graduated from Gonzaga Law! Hurray, she's finally done. Just has to pass a little thing called the bar...

Adam caught some Lingcods

Adam caught some Lingcods while he was out fishing with Jeff and Joel!

We Get a Pole in the Backyard

It's been a while since I last updated, sorry. Adam got a new job as an Electrical Trainee for the City of Tacoma. What that means is he's training for the Apprenticeship test in a few months and his goal is to be accepted into the Lineman position for the City. Adam, the Walker Boys and Ivan (another trainee) set a 40 foot pole to practice climbing. Random!


Oh! And we got a new truck. LOVE IT!!! It has not been named, yet.



They backed the trailer up to the retaining wall. Put the excavator on the trailer and Nathan beautifully got the excavator in the backyard.










And they began to dig. There was also many shovels, beers and a jumping jack compacter.













AWESOME!

The King Catches a King

Holy Moly! Adam caught an 18 pound King salmon in Commencement Bay. This is the largest salmon he's ever caught! It was mighty tasty!


Again, not so blessed with great fish photography.

Sekiu

The fourth of July was a relaxing one. Adam of course proved himself "King Fisherman" of the group by catching the largest fish of the weekend. It was a great time, even Ryan (Adam's brother, yes biological), despite getting seasick for the first time, caught a good amount!


I'm getting a little better taking fish pictures, sorry it's blurry.

Look What WE Caught!

It's definitly fishing season and Adam has been spending a lot of his free time on the water! He caught this really ugly Lingcod, but it made great beer-battered fish. I'm not a very good fish photographer, yet.




Look at these beautiful Dungess Crab we caught out at the mouth of the Nisqually river. They made an awesome fest!
