Retreat Pics...

Here's a few pics from the Scrapbooking Retreat I went on a few weekends ago!


My friend Kim, the first night we were there. She made this awesome canvas as a gift!


Our SUPER FAB hostess Lori!


One end of the retreat house, with the dining area and kitchen


Looking back at the rest of the retreat house

Misc pics of the kiddos...

Aaron at Lake Whatcom playing in the volleyball court sand



...and on the swings


Adrian on the slide....


Aaron and his 196 notebooks LOL


Boxx Berry Farm had a "Strawberry Fest" and they had tractor rides for the kids


I think they went on it 3 times!


They were giving out strawberry sundaes too!


And they did face painting, but they wanted their hands done instead





Just chillin in the pool :)

Adrian's 4th Birthday Party

So it finally had to happen, it rained during a birthday party! Ever since Aaron was born, we have had good weather for both kids' birthdays until today, but it was still ok. Well, if you consider 80 degrees and raining ok, ugh.

The birthday girl is four! (Well, on Tuesday anyways, lol)


My friend Dyona's daughter, Senna, with Adrian.


One of the princess outfits she got today!


Pretty Girl!


She got some markers and they sure were a hit!

This morning's walk...

I walked early today! I set the alarm for 5 but it was too dark so I waited until 5:45 then got up. I walked 9 miles and was home by 9:30! I took a few pics and saw a few deer even.

Here's the time on my stove, WAAAAAY to early!



Almost sunrise on my street


Thought this sign signified my 3day journey so far :)


Walking along Bellingham Bay



I was playing with my self-timer :)








The first deer I saw


This sign is pretty big, I think the letters are 2x my height.


One of my pit stops around mile 7 LOL


The second deer, and this one was only about 12 feet away


Adrian's birthday party is later today, yay! My littlest one is turning 4, WOW!

Journaling stamps...

I have been wanting THESE stamps forever, and I finally found them at a LSS in Mt Vernon for $19.99. I wanted to buy them B&M so I waited.... I hate paying for shipping LOL. So what did I find the last time I went to Wal*Mart that was never there before (because I always look!!)???? The same set for $8.93. Sigh...
