My Handsome Men

Oh I am the luckiest woman to have these two guys in my life. What a handsome pair.

Kiara's new look

Here is the new short-do on Kiara. I absolutely love it!



The bowling was Kiara's 3rd B-Day celebration. We had a great time. However, we should have stopped at 1 game. Stomachs were growling and attentions were waning.

End of Summer

So the end of summer is upon us.../sigh. Back to school is in full swing. We are thinking about things like new hair cuts, backpacks, what friends will be in their class this year, and who is the new teacher.

I'm thinking about things like oh my gosh I ordered a ton of fruit this year and I will be canning every night for the next week. lol Fresh peaches and pears and stewed tomatoes here we come!

To view the vacation in chronological order go to the first vacation post and proceed from there. Tons of pictures--can't say they are good, just that there are tons. Enjoy!

Day 6

Day 6 was Sunday and little Colby's blessing in church. It was a beautiful blessing, and a beautiful day, and really enjoyable to be all together with my family. Just a great day and a good way to end the week. The food that Paige put together was fabulous. It looked fabulous and tasted delicious.

Day 5

Day 5 was the BBQ to celebrate Great-grandma Calapps 85th B-Day over in Bothell at the family house. Again it rained all day. We took it easy all morning and the little girls got a good nap in before we went anywhere. Dinner and chatting with family lasted all evening and then we visited over at Joe and Becky's for a relaxing hour or two before heading back to Dave and Paige's for bedtime. My kids were needing baths by this time, but it didn't happen...oh well, there was always tomorrow.

Day 4

Day 4 didn't go as planned because it rained. hrrrumph +(. Grouchy and drizzly and wanted to get out. Should have gone out anyway, but sat inside most of the day. We played a few games, colored, watched Veggie Tales, read a book, slept. We should have gone to the park and done letterboxing. or something....Scott got out and played Vball a little in the street. I had been going for a run each day for something physical to do, but Scott didn't have his usual things like elliptical runs or vball games with the group back home and he was feeling antsy. The food was great this week. Staying with Paige was awesome. She had things so well planned. We helped out some with meals, I hope it was enough. Thanks so much for putting us up for the week. You guys are the best!
