JBF sale

AHhhhhhh! I finally have my sewing room back to myself! I have been gathering and sorting through our boxes of clothing and reducing our toy boxes recently, but that means it all had to sit somewhere until I could take it away. Well we had our garage sale two weekends ago, and this week I sent 5 boxes/bags of stuff to goodwill, and I also sent 4 totes of stuff and a stroller/carseat combo to the Just between friends sale happening this weekend here in Spokane. And so now I can breathe again.

I can sew again.
I can work on my many projects again.
I can plan again ( ie. start on Christmas stuff...)
I can organize again.
I can look in my Green room without eyeball twitching because of all the piles. =)

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.
