I recently got back from a week long training at the Police Academy in Salem. VEHICLE STOP INSTRUCTOR SCHOOL. If you can believe it, we trained on how to properly conduct vehicle stops. Things are always changing in my line of work and it seems like there is always a better and safer way to stop a vehicle. I figure if it teaches me to be safer then that means I will be better trained to go home to my wife and kids every day. Machel loves it when I'm gone:) No she doesn't. It makes for a long week for both of us. Bad news is I have to go back in a couple of weeks to teach what I learned to the new Police Recruits. 
We are so blessed to have two great boys. For having such an age gap between them, they sure love to be around each other (most of the time). Ethan is such a follower. He always wants to do everthing Brandon is doing. We can't wait for the first baseball game. That day will be very interseting. 
We have not been able to spend as much time as we would like on our new blog. It seems like our lives are way to busy and there is never enough time to get things done. We did have a good Easter though. We spent the day at Pete and Joy's in Goldendale and had a great day. The boys love to be there and me well I just sit around and relax which drives my wife freaking crazy. She on the other hand works her butt off. I guess that's why her parents love her.
