The Arthurs New Blog

This blog will be about us, from my point of view. We are a family of four. Jason, Jamie, Grace and Elijah. There is so much I could have blogged and said up to this point, but since I'm only just now starting this, I will start at the here and now - with occasional stories from the past sprinkled here and there. An online scrapbook of sorts. Let's hope I can keep this up or quite the boring blog life it will be!

This is us, well the most recent picture I have of us. We were up at Greenbluff, a pilgrimage we make every year. We went up with Nana, Papa, my sister Aunt Amber, Uncle Mark, Kase and Koleman. It was a blast, as it usually is. The kids love it and we love the memories and the pumpkin donuts of course.

Greenbluff, WA is a great place to go during harvest season. This place in particular is Siemers Farm, known for a really great corn/shrub maze with a castle in the center of it. We, also, like to hit Harvest House as well for their hay maze and the yearly picture next to the giant pumpkin. Didn't make it there this year, way too busy!

This Thanksgiving we were able to get with the Arthur side of the family. All were present including Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Donna, Uncle Rich, Tim, Great Grandma, and us! Woot Woot!

So, since we are starting in 2012 and the kids are almost 5 and 3 - I will give a highlight of the last year or so of Grace's life. I will get more up about Elijah soon. Just some fun picture moments that need to be shared.

Grace started preschool this year - oh my! Can't believe the school years are upon us already, but here it is. She goes to Adventure Kids Preschool and seems to love the school and her teacher! Shout out to the fabulous Mrs. Goll!

Going to school to meet her teacher and see her classroom.
