Went for a walk this morning :)

I am still training for the 3 Day, several times a week. I headed out the door at 6:30 AM... It was about 60 degrees and beautiful! Doesn't the hubs do a good job on our yard??

Even this early on a Sunday morning there are a few cars at Cruisin' Coffee!

I was standing at the corner of State and Champion and watched a deer go by...

This is the trail that goes along the tracks towards Boulevard Park.

The view from Boulevard Park...

...Back downtown, doesn't it look pretty?

It took me exactly 2 hours to go 6 miles!

Home sweet home! Kasoma even head breakfast ready for us, what a guy! Our yard looked so nice I had to take another pic ;)

And a few more cards!

I got inspiration from HERE for these on Wednesday :)

Mine are slightly different, since my printer is on the fritz, ugh! I used all scraps and $1 clear stamps, and the scroll frame was cut at 2 1/2" with the Storybook Cricut cartridge.

This bird is also cut from Storybook out of light chipboard, and used Tim Holtz crackle paints and then Crystal Lacquer on top of that.

Aaron likes the Wii...

...Just a little bit!!! For his birthday party he got two Wii games and a shirt and shorts set that had Mario Kart on it, and was happy as a clam!

...And this is what I found him doing this morning!!

Goofy kid!!

Memorial Day cards and pics

I made a few more cards with a patriotic theme for the holiday today, and Kasoma put up our flag.

ETA: OOPS, thanks Joann for letting me know it's upsidedown! I am sorry if I offended anyone, that was not at all my intention. That was a total oversight and now I wonder how many people drove by my house and saw that! :(

Then we headed over to Zuanich Point Park for some kite flying!

Here's the view over the bay...

Cards today...

So after posting about my new SU stamp sets, I had to go use them! I used all patterend paper scraps for these. Thanks for looking!

The black one on the right has a flower stamp in watermark ink on the black cardstock that didn't show up in the pic.

The one on the right, the sun washed out the "U" in sparkly silver ink.

Aaron's birthday party!

Was a huge success, and so much fun :) There was a good turn-out and FAB weather!!

My friend Kari and my cousin Sarah's son, Bryce

Aaron opening presents and not at all happy about it ;)

The cake was a hit, thanks Kim!!!

I guess he didn't like our singing LOL!

School picnic

The end of the year picnic for preschool was on Friday, and we went to Pacific Highlands Park in Ferndale.

I guess I should have titled this post "Butterflies" because that's pretty much what the pics are of! The teacher, Miss Angie, had a butterfly net that had catapillars in it. They each had completed their metamorphasis into butterflies and they were going to let them go in the park.

But first, here is a view of Mount Baker!

Preschool graduation

Adrian's last day of preschool was on Friday, and they had a grad night on Wednesday.

At first she wouldn't stand up there without me...

But after a little coaxing she did it, but wouldn't wear the hat!

Photo shoot

Adrian's peschool teacher took some pics of all the students with a black backdrop, and they turned out sooooooooooo cute!! They are pics of a pic, so the quality is crappy, but cute none-the-less!

She doesn't have an OUNCE of personality, huh???

Cards for Heros

So you all know I have been on a cardmaking kick for awhile, right? I have probably made close to 100 in the past month or so, and am running out of things to do with them. ...Then I came across this!

So now I have another reason to make more cards, yay!
