June in Review...


It has been a fun month! I am still growing at an INCREDIBLE rate. Just ask anyone who sees me. It seems like even those that see me on a daily basis like to tell me how large I am! The babies are still doing great. They are both breached so it is looking like a C-Section is inevitable.  My OB says I will not be pregnant past Sept. 1. Only 7 1/2 more weeks! I can't believe it. It is flying by. 


Zak was home for a good two months and we really did accomplish so much in that time, Cleaned out the garage, got a yard whipped into shape and our biggest accomplishment...Re-facing the fireplace. 
We have wanted to do it for a while and finally saved up enough to get it done.  I also was able to buy my loveseat that matches my couch I got for our wedding four years ago! I will post pictures when I am finished painting my front room. Actually I can't take credit for that, my sister-in-law has been a HUGE help the last few days. Zak got called out to work in Libby, Montana for the next few weeks and had to leave me with an unfinished front room and nothing done on our nursery. Andrea came over on Monday and seriously got my whole nursery cleaned out (which was being used as an office/guest room/craft room/junk room) and managed to paint it all in the two days. She is amazing. I don't know how she has so much energy. Troy has been over to help watch the kiddos and I have really enjoyed the company for the last few days. 



We made our first trek to the lake on Wednesday and it was a success. Kit had a blast playing with her cousin in the Lake and what a way for little Braden to spend his pre-surgery day. Braden went in for his first surgery today and was a complete champ! 





Look at seanteyawilson.blogspot.com for his updates. He is such a strong little boy. Other than that life has been kinda boring! I miss Zak lots and lots already and we haven't even gone a week. It is hard to get back into the single-mom mode, but we are coping!!!

Just want to brag about my husband...

I just want to brag a little bit today :) Zak and I were down on Redwood Road looking for some tile and as we walked out of the building a blue minivan lost control and completely crashed into a light pole on the side of the road knocking it and the power line attached into the road. It was quite shocking to see an accident like that out of nowhere and especially since I have never really witnessed a car accident. He took no hesitation and told me to call 911 and he ran across the road to make sure the guy was ok. A little bit of panic hit him when he saw an empty car seat in the back, but luckily only the driver was in the car and his adrenaline got him out of his car faster than I have ever seen someone crawl out of the back door of their own car! When all was ok with the driver he immediately went into "Lineman" mode and wanted to get the power line out of the street so the traffic that was backed up going both directions could get through. He had all his line gear in the truck so he grabbed the tools he needed and went to cut the power so he could get the line out of the road. Everyone started yelling at him, "no, don't you will get electrocuted!!" He just chuckled and said "no, really I am ok!" It was only a line serviced to a street light, non-the-less he pulled the wire out of the road and we laughed as the cars passed by honking and giving him the thumbs up! I was a proud lineman's wife!   

On that note, I guess I could update you with the last month. First off...Zak's line rodeo. This is a yearly event where apprentices and journeyman lineman compete climbing poles and simulating different work experiences. It is fun to watch how much Zak has gained confidence in the last four years. This was his last Rodeo as an apprentice and I don't know if he will do one as a journeyman, but it is fun to see what he does at work.

"belting off" on top of the pole.


Changing a fuse:

Hurt man rescue:
Waiting for the dummy to come back up the pole. 

Self explanatory!!
They have a kiddy carnival while the kids wait for their daddy's. Kit was playing on the jumpy castle and digging through sawdust for treats. Grams thought she needed to have her face painted and here is my little Tiger! She was such a good girl getting her face done. I think it was totally relaxing to her :) 
and she approves....THUMBS UP!!
