It is funny how much this affects me. I look forward to being with my family, and yet I look forward to working. Did I mention the paycheck that I lack the rest of the year? That part is just dreadful:(. Every year (or at least the past 3) I have gone through such a trasition when my work is over for the year. The 1st year I was in shock, last year I was so happy to be home again and this year, well this year I just don't know how I feel. I know I am ready to take the girls to and from school again, go to coffee with wonderful girlfriends, take off at a whim and go to the zoo or the gardening shop, or like today, look at a new house (really an old house that would require more work then even Jason and I are capable of). Not to mention CLEAN MY HOUSE. My husband does a great job at keeping up, but I can honestly say that a man's touch just lacks something when it comes to cleaning! But he tries, and the girls try and I get up every morning and kiss them good bye. Then I get to do a job that I am good at, enjoy and love the people I work with. But I miss out on so much stuff. I am just plain torn. That dreadful place between not wanting to leave my family every day and wanting to leave my family every day:)<br />I tell ya, "What to do?" Maybe I will start with a little sewing!Tishelle Wardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12262885632363230496noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294696860156945973.post-913790124680310442011-01-02T18:28:00.000-08:002011-01-02T19:06:30.209-08:00Wow, 2011 really? New year's in my house is truly mundane. Like... Jason worked, the girls were asleep by 8 and I fell asleep in my bed to HGTV by 10:15. However, the last 2 months have been a whirl wind of life, work, school, 2 beautiful little girls and truly treading water.<br />I accepted my annual seasonal position <a href="http://www.statefarm.com/?wt.mc_id=searchbuy">here</a>. It feels like I go into hiding for about 4 months. If you are anyone I get together with on a regular basis, you know what I am talking about. Sometimes I return your calls, sometimes we actually get to the making of plans, and if I am truly lucky, I get to see you:) This full time working Mom stuff is for the birds! <br />However, since I am working, Jason and I decided to make the most of it and go all out for the girls for Christmas. Santa brough them Skiis, boots and bindings! Even though we both snowboard (and have for years), we thought we would teach the girls to ski first. <br />I bought Jason a season pass to Snoqualmie in September, and now Reese and I have been lucky enough to join him in that! (Thanks Dad and Mom:)) We went up yesterday with most of my family, and as I looked around at Payton coming down the mountain on skiis and telling me, "Go away Mommy, I do it myself" and Reese successfully making pizza turns and fench friis all the way down with no assistance, it hit me...I am so content in my family. My parents were watching along with my wonderful brother, his girlfriend and daughter. Taking photos, videos and all full of smiles. Because I had 2 amazing little girls that were making there way, and a husband helping me each step. I am lucky, I am blessed!<br />Enjoy a few of my little ski bunnies...And Happy, Safe and Loving new year to you all!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaSloZSQ75B54OWe1WgCPVkhqlDM8mwX_CgiT0LsDCG13SrvXEVkEe8HJI9l_irwpve72b1ZOrOFWnVprohmCeW5cAVO4_vC2ne5wWkEa3yJ7da98pV9d3iuWdXaXrOmvHMIX7H7k6Nsg/s1600/i+phone+057.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaSloZSQ75B54OWe1WgCPVkhqlDM8mwX_CgiT0LsDCG13SrvXEVkEe8HJI9l_irwpve72b1ZOrOFWnVprohmCeW5cAVO4_vC2ne5wWkEa3yJ7da98pV9d3iuWdXaXrOmvHMIX7H7k6Nsg/s200/i+phone+057.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557788556870365378" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixMts2yY6H9yd5WmOVe5IZLiF3bj_7dLTOwpWu2XFhpCxIEgDgGHErSxoNDExaSRkfw4FYdAdTRMkA5A4iTWj0arp6_VLwQX6ygSJvlweOI2F7m40ICbquWQLkbqBuI8VAx0QTHuJqd4U/s1600/i+phone+056.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixMts2yY6H9yd5WmOVe5IZLiF3bj_7dLTOwpWu2XFhpCxIEgDgGHErSxoNDExaSRkfw4FYdAdTRMkA5A4iTWj0arp6_VLwQX6ygSJvlweOI2F7m40ICbquWQLkbqBuI8VAx0QTHuJqd4U/s200/i+phone+056.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557788551152260642" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsZ9Ho0hWt7SpgAaRQxFzBnXW62GojTRT9HoD0-kW51ZVxqLBR6cfPtjyR3dfKHy0K4fJZc04dw-lywc36YrnCF8yOBbExx70gX0VYEn7o6b1-ezCAXOuYYXYGck4AV4bgxNbiCMQJ3OA/s1600/i+phone+084.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsZ9Ho0hWt7SpgAaRQxFzBnXW62GojTRT9HoD0-kW51ZVxqLBR6cfPtjyR3dfKHy0K4fJZc04dw-lywc36YrnCF8yOBbExx70gX0VYEn7o6b1-ezCAXOuYYXYGck4AV4bgxNbiCMQJ3OA/s200/i+phone+084.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557788543672693186" /></a><br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLGzWnaqRqXTnGKDETNOBNnqsNvymeWLKwFLDped-Y2bvedwhF5_M0HJz6F1A3UXUcia-LiQEx5iiwUYnlXabzvpkXEVh1E3hHzHshuyeQC1jnZUowJb8LOy-oZTSuscqxFp_Q513UByw/s1600/i+phone+078.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLGzWnaqRqXTnGKDETNOBNnqsNvymeWLKwFLDped-Y2bvedwhF5_M0HJz6F1A3UXUcia-LiQEx5iiwUYnlXabzvpkXEVh1E3hHzHshuyeQC1jnZUowJb8LOy-oZTSuscqxFp_Q513UByw/s200/i+phone+078.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557788558732908946" /></a><br />(P.S.

How is already time for my sweet punkin to start pre-school? Luckily she gets to go to the same school and have the same teacher that Reese has for the the past two years. She was simply amazing that day! I had her walk up to all her new classmates and give them their name tags. She was shy, but did it and seemed to have lots of fun that day. Here's to having 2 hours with no kiddos once a week!!! I can't wait to go grocery shopping by myself:) How lame! Seriously, I am stoked!!!Tishelle Wardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12262885632363230496noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294696860156945973.post-90531355531250126482010-09-03T07:41:00.000-07:002010-09-03T07:51:47.765-07:00On to the next...What an emotional day! For all the preparing that I thought that I did, it came as a huge surprise as to how emotional we all were yesterday. Reese's teacher was wonderful and inviting and let us be as involved as we wanted yesterday morning. However, I was the last parent in her classroom, and the para-educator finally had to peel her off of me:( It was just heartbreaking, but we did it! We all survived the whole day and are currently getting ready for our second. (Aparently Reese saved the show for me, she was fine just a few minutes after I left!) <br />As a parent, our sole job in life is to ensure the safety and happiness of our children. To place this in someone else's hands is just terrifying! It certainly helps that I know so many wonderful teachers, Heidi, Jen and Steph, or else I would really lose my Mommy mind:)<br />Thanks you teachers for sharing the part of you that I lack! And please keep my little one safe!!!:)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhY0Nx50O9wVsg6qotfjKKj55643r-RsGmKnj_NFXdjeC_VmNX8t41-8R0IkZx1ugtjDLdljFzF91JqVnrQv1RP9IKSfmk-DlvqVk_0-L47tBzPbyw1jXaGNQNZptVdUsrKUGTQCZsaaw/s1600/1st+day+of+Kindergarten+013.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhY0Nx50O9wVsg6qotfjKKj55643r-RsGmKnj_NFXdjeC_VmNX8t41-8R0IkZx1ugtjDLdljFzF91JqVnrQv1RP9IKSfmk-DlvqVk_0-L47tBzPbyw1jXaGNQNZptVdUsrKUGTQCZsaaw/s200/1st+day+of+Kindergarten+013.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512697723139000674" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw50RN_eL-kJuSOofonduxuNwfEUVndSoHGOONY0cfUB4STxGQxE6XelYKOwC1gawP_HQtVwI47T7PmxawGqOXjFVNZeIpiOkMHRvacVgzkXj92xByj2LnuGr7l483ZtBMDMexDAR6ar0/s1600/1st+day+of+Kindergarten+009.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw50RN_eL-kJuSOofonduxuNwfEUVndSoHGOONY0cfUB4STxGQxE6XelYKOwC1gawP_HQtVwI47T7PmxawGqOXjFVNZeIpiOkMHRvacVgzkXj92xByj2LnuGr7l483ZtBMDMexDAR6ar0/s200/1st+day+of+Kindergarten+009.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512697720183398994" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxS9nsw1BcPZyOM2Lh3ghKQSsz4P278XjuR8olQ6F3_CnMBEbF0r25w-wcuiYfCpKLBwwqXHpJ8-SWIQOp1d-EfjKzlkLWL0LQ6AedO8xLWbpZfZ_tKViu3SPYEXIxs1Zy6zVDDo9eWWk/s1600/1st+day+of+Kindergarten+015.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxS9nsw1BcPZyOM2Lh3ghKQSsz4P278XjuR8olQ6F3_CnMBEbF0r25w-wcuiYfCpKLBwwqXHpJ8-SWIQOp1d-EfjKzlkLWL0LQ6AedO8xLWbpZfZ_tKViu3SPYEXIxs1Zy6zVDDo9eWWk/s200/1st+day+of+Kindergarten+015.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512697713241336434" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRR2L6sVpNAK6t5iiAnGLBe_iBRdFFhw_AgL0oCOG_aqh8xbCA4gBYCvMVER63dA83z0Emd0Xa290fFjHMEjgcHxcOtrWzx2Mj2_4_hz8zt04KCo1MJvN1M3ZKzPNSjESmm42esBOrKMg/s1600/1st+day+of+Kindergarten+024.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRR2L6sVpNAK6t5iiAnGLBe_iBRdFFhw_AgL0oCOG_aqh8xbCA4gBYCvMVER63dA83z0Emd0Xa290fFjHMEjgcHxcOtrWzx2Mj2_4_hz8zt04KCo1MJvN1M3ZKzPNSjESmm42esBOrKMg/s200/1st+day+of+Kindergarten+024.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512697703048532866" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGEO5wCectsc3bAFm7iQEbicEX6jXT_SvqAgc6n4BgJArw2JL8zPRs-O6kOSYAvwefvCrPCp1v3SVlhx1TzYzZ4zrKBJ_61gzyqznRb-KNQZF3sW6wcXxGELfBtmPZXntJXNK9tEbnavU/s1600/1st+day+of+Kindergarten+001.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGEO5wCectsc3bAFm7iQEbicEX6jXT_SvqAgc6n4BgJArw2JL8zPRs-O6kOSYAvwefvCrPCp1v3SVlhx1TzYzZ4zrKBJ_61gzyqznRb-KNQZF3sW6wcXxGELfBtmPZXntJXNK9tEbnavU/s200/1st+day+of+Kindergarten+001.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512697697607238018" /></a><br />This last one is just for your viewing pleasure:) Payt all dressed up for Sissy's big day!

I wish I could have been there, but Payt just isn't ready yet...maybe next year...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieNU_fLiEhVaO-1hBaL8qg0znw0TxsrcZiNBEQAO9edoJYKgPU39FqisLFhTnHfjthZElhLImiXYAOrK1ZqwkbuD1-LLC6YAyptVlj2iyo-e8BE0tkusUBc0Eti4DburGqAjyPTku6d0o/s1600/August+2010+016.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieNU_fLiEhVaO-1hBaL8qg0znw0TxsrcZiNBEQAO9edoJYKgPU39FqisLFhTnHfjthZElhLImiXYAOrK1ZqwkbuD1-LLC6YAyptVlj2iyo-e8BE0tkusUBc0Eti4DburGqAjyPTku6d0o/s200/August+2010+016.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509367125175512002" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-J1sDLz8p19zf5DDYR-jAQaBAOvgkR_tSAyDO2uqzqoK_hzxa02CLpzJoQyBFRw_5IzQRRot0QWIm5hq4z1LFHzrfCT06GV6KShZql_N8YJ_0LZ0KaPCBgWCQmJC_xti_9CN5vtF-Pg4/s1600/August+2010+002.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-J1sDLz8p19zf5DDYR-jAQaBAOvgkR_tSAyDO2uqzqoK_hzxa02CLpzJoQyBFRw_5IzQRRot0QWIm5hq4z1LFHzrfCT06GV6KShZql_N8YJ_0LZ0KaPCBgWCQmJC_xti_9CN5vtF-Pg4/s200/August+2010+002.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509367116918297234" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVodEoaoFavMKP6HFK0FoIjMIHAm1bS2z4QbkBoAzb0CSSCO_qxaqzi1I2zECjIz3jiUfQ7gBx_jufSrnJGZ2yZffIb4F_rd7_TsupmgVGgzswi6RsJxuQBKtd1pvF2QpUM6_YKNknKXA/s1600/August+2010+004.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVodEoaoFavMKP6HFK0FoIjMIHAm1bS2z4QbkBoAzb0CSSCO_qxaqzi1I2zECjIz3jiUfQ7gBx_jufSrnJGZ2yZffIb4F_rd7_TsupmgVGgzswi6RsJxuQBKtd1pvF2QpUM6_YKNknKXA/s200/August+2010+004.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509367105264260322" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnXBp_EcKF0xr2p-3AahQINn3qJOI3jK1ruk4QqnHkTGFNRd1AgfIQjGH1GGZsRYdpcMknKfG1u3wvy8pYr0yre4TGZ0MqS0QFX5vKyk-VzMoxUrfMxE8kCaGGB13HGjnyQGre1FATC4E/s1600/August+2010+009.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnXBp_EcKF0xr2p-3AahQINn3qJOI3jK1ruk4QqnHkTGFNRd1AgfIQjGH1GGZsRYdpcMknKfG1u3wvy8pYr0yre4TGZ0MqS0QFX5vKyk-VzMoxUrfMxE8kCaGGB13HGjnyQGre1FATC4E/s200/August+2010+009.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509367101819236466" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9klUCHuF052jKQXKUYOzq2cYachnNl9onXNW-sK5PrrejmO2PboRWHC8P95hRhEDDV6jrjvStxjRRI72Zn8l-vYUrxjZ4npIrMTHotB2imbBShZunHQDJi0jrF4-ajSORUGHH1zyv800/s1600/August+2010+008.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9klUCHuF052jKQXKUYOzq2cYachnNl9onXNW-sK5PrrejmO2PboRWHC8P95hRhEDDV6jrjvStxjRRI72Zn8l-vYUrxjZ4npIrMTHotB2imbBShZunHQDJi0jrF4-ajSORUGHH1zyv800/s200/August+2010+008.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509367093276329618" /></a>Tishelle Wardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12262885632363230496noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294696860156945973.post-64637531483109530622010-07-29T12:35:00.000-07:002010-07-29T12:43:41.957-07:00A little bit of summer random-ness...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1agScKJ2h0BYhCgHKozfaKqeRS3eleyLYtK82KtTFq4tVBR_S-AKHaN_3WgcPCS_pc4a7Mv7PdUhO3GWzRFeescZqhY_Wl47_AVx59uRNqmO7HYlmh-2RxIIwXHt6EgExfReuksHUQRQ/s1600/July+2010+073.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1agScKJ2h0BYhCgHKozfaKqeRS3eleyLYtK82KtTFq4tVBR_S-AKHaN_3WgcPCS_pc4a7Mv7PdUhO3GWzRFeescZqhY_Wl47_AVx59uRNqmO7HYlmh-2RxIIwXHt6EgExfReuksHUQRQ/s200/July+2010+073.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499414488266657186" /></a><br />I love being the neighborhood hang out for the kiddos:) I think I am officially known as the otter-pop lady!

Here are some pictures from our trip. Believe it or not, I actually took fewer this year then in years past. Only about 100:)<br />Our trip was absolutely filled full of sunshine, beautiful new places, sandy beaches, clear water and best of all...ORCAS! It was amazing! This was the first time in 6 years of doing this trip that we finally came accross them. Jason was driving up top and I was down below getting the girls settled when he stomped on the floor to get my attention. We all raced up top and watched part of the J-pod for over an hour go all the way up Stuart Island. I certainly would have loved it if they came closer, but they didn't. I will take what I can get though:)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6QddwxiWGoNzWstnkuua-ruDS_9PIOdB37qyL0jVIqBxnWMeIYLzHvQiYNQque-CTn1mkuKvKn4CI9VjRxFSJ0DJPE1mwuVaVaVtJGouii3T4HHMtMJOOkhfqqhmAS-2pl3i0XrWn3hw/s1600/San+Juans+2010+096.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6QddwxiWGoNzWstnkuua-ruDS_9PIOdB37qyL0jVIqBxnWMeIYLzHvQiYNQque-CTn1mkuKvKn4CI9VjRxFSJ0DJPE1mwuVaVaVtJGouii3T4HHMtMJOOkhfqqhmAS-2pl3i0XrWn3hw/s200/San+Juans+2010+096.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499086581860809618" /></a><br />Jason and I out getting the crab pots in Sequim<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Bbs5zaUeNglVbtuIH6ExXiy5fIU22FG5nDqbpPoYEwJlzbkyvibgc2cE9x6V2D_e2L10omDN6rUGW6NGbJj0FgIqCAAkubpXQwn-Txkm8wezepklv8Gd3VLofntsW0oMlXWBcyG4jfw/s1600/San+Juans+2010+098.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Bbs5zaUeNglVbtuIH6ExXiy5fIU22FG5nDqbpPoYEwJlzbkyvibgc2cE9x6V2D_e2L10omDN6rUGW6NGbJj0FgIqCAAkubpXQwn-Txkm8wezepklv8Gd3VLofntsW0oMlXWBcyG4jfw/s200/San+Juans+2010+098.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499086570129497586" /></a><br />J and Payt getting last minute snuggles at sunset<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgLy2OjTcFR2_WRneoXiytnEBCdmU-TlTY4eBcezTVGo7CMj3qMsUgC7u0ReXo0romcWSyKj2lTYaNmfJeIZLsRoxvPVMTu2i5DM6yNT8lDoX6zMg2g5RenITu2yFwjHXs6iuBjU6pCLE/s1600/San+Juans+2010+101.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgLy2OjTcFR2_WRneoXiytnEBCdmU-TlTY4eBcezTVGo7CMj3qMsUgC7u0ReXo0romcWSyKj2lTYaNmfJeIZLsRoxvPVMTu2i5DM6yNT8lDoX6zMg2g5RenITu2yFwjHXs6iuBjU6pCLE/s200/San+Juans+2010+101.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499086565115023330" /></a><br />Jason trying to show the girls how to shrimp off the docks in Roche Harbor<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJPkw9_ihL9sfIDTpSoHAMLWbMbB8xSG2_wPVNUFUDD4x_6fEywGhR6bN_jgV8AcWRH6e6FfsTmuDfpLfHWvY5WOGo98QTyCGtoB0pw2Xdc-BNMsaXLQSnekPAEyMEKX-OKw_s8L2SMZ4/s1600/San+Juans+2010+104.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJPkw9_ihL9sfIDTpSoHAMLWbMbB8xSG2_wPVNUFUDD4x_6fEywGhR6bN_jgV8AcWRH6e6FfsTmuDfpLfHWvY5WOGo98QTyCGtoB0pw2Xdc-BNMsaXLQSnekPAEyMEKX-OKw_s8L2SMZ4/s200/San+Juans+2010+104.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499086248734673586" /></a><br />Out Kayaking in Roche<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmzVjsyVm25zYB1q34tMsP-kgaDBVo6QWb_L0rNAZivy64k-845DTCXHrWJFB-apiyg_5Xsbiq3dgV8boDIUXSdrPioRLBgTblJ2Hi2BN8Hb9Tite5B4OXcIIzIA-fkKdH2tL1KLWE8uc/s1600/San+Juans+2010+112.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmzVjsyVm25zYB1q34tMsP-kgaDBVo6QWb_L0rNAZivy64k-845DTCXHrWJFB-apiyg_5Xsbiq3dgV8boDIUXSdrPioRLBgTblJ2Hi2BN8Hb9Tite5B4OXcIIzIA-fkKdH2tL1KLWE8uc/s200/San+Juans+2010+112.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499086244138692626" /></a><br />Bella being taken out on the Kayak for the 1st time.

J and I tried forever to talk her out of her choice of venue to no avail. So, Sorry to her friends parents who had avoided it up to this point with their kiddos.<br /><br />Jason and I finally decided after years of borrowing our parents RV's, to buy our own. We did lots of research and finally ended up with the perfect one for us. We had a lot of criteria. Bunk beds for the girls, a seperate queen bed for us, a full kitchen and bath, and all of this in no more than 22 feet! That way it could still fit in our driveway and not block the sidewalk from all our neighborhood kiddos who ride their bikes up and down it! <br />It was hard, but we finally found it and it has a bed that slides out the back. So comfy. We took it to Mt. St Helen's last week with some our best friends Steve and Jodi for our first trip. Outside of the horribe rain, it was a great 1st trip. Here are a few photos of it...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDctMaC1AE9Hrwdi9RmPMsQrY-JEPqJLrIMrbbU-iCQQOX6WG5qucUMJbM3OOMNV-x0HYqRmCurrENXvx-aSjoKoCZA_ObpwJpMIVL7qrD61JZGmvfTcgM0hxoMzy9oK7VVker7wizCac/s1600/June+2010+054.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDctMaC1AE9Hrwdi9RmPMsQrY-JEPqJLrIMrbbU-iCQQOX6WG5qucUMJbM3OOMNV-x0HYqRmCurrENXvx-aSjoKoCZA_ObpwJpMIVL7qrD61JZGmvfTcgM0hxoMzy9oK7VVker7wizCac/s200/June+2010+054.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483145614620883906" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijQPFlMpq014a5Xa5k4VusV1MVh3I3UdQx02sSwFMq4QSCbBwpkZEToj4iKeVlUAum1Ez-ZSNwGUZIArb7pSG2BaVeUl2MY8IxQTdQcQiw4OBPP31WnjwsEf3H9DZaYFJZdADtwpwr0Ok/s1600/June+2010+052.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijQPFlMpq014a5Xa5k4VusV1MVh3I3UdQx02sSwFMq4QSCbBwpkZEToj4iKeVlUAum1Ez-ZSNwGUZIArb7pSG2BaVeUl2MY8IxQTdQcQiw4OBPP31WnjwsEf3H9DZaYFJZdADtwpwr0Ok/s200/June+2010+052.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483145603234649122" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk82vAp0SsW_OeFJRYFkOyLVQDsZyJACcm0Nsmys3PCgeLbX1zFp_zQqj3yd6b3POKwwzZUiHjyKahh9F5axbfhGS_znDPZu_J3g3eFU2L2q4xyRN_RkQvbBqlfrApw_oCNi0cWlhdNBU/s1600/June+2010+051.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk82vAp0SsW_OeFJRYFkOyLVQDsZyJACcm0Nsmys3PCgeLbX1zFp_zQqj3yd6b3POKwwzZUiHjyKahh9F5axbfhGS_znDPZu_J3g3eFU2L2q4xyRN_RkQvbBqlfrApw_oCNi0cWlhdNBU/s200/June+2010+051.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483145595863537442" /></a><br />Thank goodness for Papa Pete's Pizza in Castle Rock!

It is not really the style of our house, but I just couldn't forget about it...Did I mention it was free? Who doesn't love that? So I finally convinced J to let me have it. I called my father-in-law and told him and he drove it up to me the same day! Talk about Service:)<br />Since it doesn't match the style of our house, I have wanted to re-finish it. I don't want to just re-stain it though. I want to paint it AQUA! My favorite color! Then I recently saw <a href="http://betterafter.blogspot.com/2010/04/turquoise-super-post.html">this post</a> and knew that I had to do it!

I tried really hard to just stay home for Easter this year. I was in the mood to just hang out at home with my hubby and girls. However, my parents, my in-laws and my husband all had a different idea. Needless to say, I lost and we split the day going between Tacoma (home) to Centralia and then to Shelton! And since I didn't have a dress for Payt, I ran out to the consignment shop that I trade things in at and picked this little dress up for Payt for $3. I was excited about the deal, but not the over-all look of the dress. So as Jason would say, I HAD to "be-dazzle" it:) I took off the tattered pink flower and replaced it with a line of little white Hydrangeas with jewels that I put in the middle of them. Then I gathered four spots on the bottom and put the same flowers/jewels on them. I was very happy with how her dress turned out for $3 and a little fun!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGpD2AwoJ7hFF6DG3R3JQwWBZkfbbJ9LSSCpFlq_npPiUmArs7tK7pUS3RuCDg3tc20WPe1KK8awmvTDP0dJZBxjBb24URtDwIwj7eSAtugppreQSvY7VRtLGLEjioSKmG1IPivxU257M/s1600/Easter+2010+065.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGpD2AwoJ7hFF6DG3R3JQwWBZkfbbJ9LSSCpFlq_npPiUmArs7tK7pUS3RuCDg3tc20WPe1KK8awmvTDP0dJZBxjBb24URtDwIwj7eSAtugppreQSvY7VRtLGLEjioSKmG1IPivxU257M/s200/Easter+2010+065.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460757575960822418" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8gEWwbMZrJL0Pu8giLjimSH3VaofSPID8-q7z83y237_1olggpBFJpdiSfN8kuAwF_ekcikjeWJIyAeUhVLvq4y8fMofJ1u23FxVIQY5BiyR-3ZO5EE7bEIVECvA6bwBheVGxBYlyV8A/s1600/Easter+2010+089.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8gEWwbMZrJL0Pu8giLjimSH3VaofSPID8-q7z83y237_1olggpBFJpdiSfN8kuAwF_ekcikjeWJIyAeUhVLvq4y8fMofJ1u23FxVIQY5BiyR-3ZO5EE7bEIVECvA6bwBheVGxBYlyV8A/s200/Easter+2010+089.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460757590126733106" /></a><br /><br />I have also been very busy sewing things for the baby shower below! Heidi plans on trying to nurse little Jack so I decided to figure out how to make her a nursing cover. These things go for $30+. So the tutorial I found was priceless! I made her and Erin each one for less that $15 combined. I was able to add boning and adjustable D-rings for fit. And something I decided to add was a little bit of terrycloth in one corner for wiping sweet little mouths!<br /><br />Anyone want one? I would love to make more:)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbcMADAd_H4Q8sQMacnCQelnALQN_NhsNKBpZZoWIfk1Axw5P5qrWZmC1DEasF7LJNRrQb6UawtEWuy0GZMCMKg3MHUUu9X7al0lMJJ4Z2ni2pk0EORXxzWURqFVnxjLas1N-4MxyDW4E/s1600/Easter+2010+059.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbcMADAd_H4Q8sQMacnCQelnALQN_NhsNKBpZZoWIfk1Axw5P5qrWZmC1DEasF7LJNRrQb6UawtEWuy0GZMCMKg3MHUUu9X7al0lMJJ4Z2ni2pk0EORXxzWURqFVnxjLas1N-4MxyDW4E/s200/Easter+2010+059.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460760582237350642" /></a><br /><br />This one I just could pass up. On all the craft blogs that I read, all the people find great deals at Walmart. Let me preface this by saying that I have shopped there maybe 4 times in my life! Jason HATES this store. I decided to run to the one in Lakewood the other day anyway to see if I could get any good deals. Well I struck out in many ways, but I came accross these little shirts for $2 in the junior section. I had to grab a few. They would make great dresses right?<br /><br />Here is the before and after...<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_/AAAAAAAAA4g/Q8lP_Fa1dD0/s1600/Heidi%27s+shower+045.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6pPozZRvSVdJFOQfgGTeOTIU3TqZAG5JhDmF5H3Ui1WrUFUNq-IdFf2xRiFhX8g0THwIPtKBbOA2hwEIZK8UWjSxQrbcGWcitvS4XZwJNszAUPDgZoPYgrhnZc5fDeutKQUMHwQxyVl0/s200/Heidi's+shower+045.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460927843771934866" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlnlLcK7iKwdjoCq8vyw0YeO3Dx0JtweKLVk1WWRfBjfjOgA7X7E2OXaEG4Z-KaSFVRCcbWJme7fOhAb2dVMXxo-Var-buWi_JkWSa11tDN1i-na8YEzjsKYeu1YQJB4cJugq8mrn-fVE/s1600/Heidi's+shower+046.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlnlLcK7iKwdjoCq8vyw0YeO3Dx0JtweKLVk1WWRfBjfjOgA7X7E2OXaEG4Z-KaSFVRCcbWJme7fOhAb2dVMXxo-Var-buWi_JkWSa11tDN1i-na8YEzjsKYeu1YQJB4cJugq8mrn-fVE/s200/Heidi's+shower+046.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460927832859346242" /></a><br /><br />And last, I had to share this picture pf Payt!

There was no where else I would have rather been or anyone else I would have rather been celebrating. It has been a long time coming and I can't wait to meet you Baby Jack!<br />Here are a few from our day...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTP6XZQagKMvyjL0zrUzXyn5T62iRKBCMZqnBRT8t49oYQMEjLJioULjZ4F4jXzGdL0NkUeWl-BVXawWJ6cBUyCT5NbVgGUpEnqSCbS5p8TXDyNEu_RSStfe11gJw9DunDqvFT49XrWW4/s1600/Heidi's+shower+033.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTP6XZQagKMvyjL0zrUzXyn5T62iRKBCMZqnBRT8t49oYQMEjLJioULjZ4F4jXzGdL0NkUeWl-BVXawWJ6cBUyCT5NbVgGUpEnqSCbS5p8TXDyNEu_RSStfe11gJw9DunDqvFT49XrWW4/s200/Heidi's+shower+033.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459496749530813650" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtnVZSplt3n2M09p1Rc6uCkRkIm1kKew4jSuf2VxZeI_n3GW0HQuro19WXqeMWaJCSDAzboRwV_UCGyLS7td3-_c9n7zaH2Ntol4AJRMxizK6_tphyphenhyphenVQ0D0e6IZsQbWMJEdgRGkR16Ixg/s1600/Heidi's+shower+036.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtnVZSplt3n2M09p1Rc6uCkRkIm1kKew4jSuf2VxZeI_n3GW0HQuro19WXqeMWaJCSDAzboRwV_UCGyLS7td3-_c9n7zaH2Ntol4AJRMxizK6_tphyphenhyphenVQ0D0e6IZsQbWMJEdgRGkR16Ixg/s200/Heidi's+shower+036.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459496758458752802" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2x7C3bbC-B3FXLGfxDiWK_WEwc2S9jMCtoeb8e4VExesaSAeT1KMHI8VahkZIyWXzT1hrCa1pGFpcQC2Vp-FYEGucvtp5LS1s7ZkZzJify-ELWEN7Ihu8EJK3Ygglbi2VmstoRU5lR7Y/s1600/Heidi's+shower+025.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2x7C3bbC-B3FXLGfxDiWK_WEwc2S9jMCtoeb8e4VExesaSAeT1KMHI8VahkZIyWXzT1hrCa1pGFpcQC2Vp-FYEGucvtp5LS1s7ZkZzJify-ELWEN7Ihu8EJK3Ygglbi2VmstoRU5lR7Y/s200/Heidi's+shower+025.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459498959979628850" /></a><br />(Seriously, this young lady made this quilt for Heidi, she is like 11!

Enough that we get to eat eggs whenever we want, bake whatever I want and I still don't have to buy eggs! They are wonderful little companions when we are out in the garden and great little workers at tilling our beds! We have starting planting in our beds now though, so they don't get to go in the garden anymore. To make up for it, we let them out in the yard last week. The LOVED it. So much to scratch and get into. Here I found them huddled together pecking at the dirt for bugs.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkZEIviAwqWJl7n4tAF-R92Qjf4Gw1yadfEow6g3qF0XTL0SJ0fC45bYMP7_bXfhoXsbIPKXb54sQngxzL49-TrZk-SOw19caogT_xcaD-Uu4DuSlGyxPFtPM0dTCnK8Ma4k1D30AdpjA/s1600/Spring+Boat+Trip+%2710+038.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkZEIviAwqWJl7n4tAF-R92Qjf4Gw1yadfEow6g3qF0XTL0SJ0fC45bYMP7_bXfhoXsbIPKXb54sQngxzL49-TrZk-SOw19caogT_xcaD-Uu4DuSlGyxPFtPM0dTCnK8Ma4k1D30AdpjA/s200/Spring+Boat+Trip+%2710+038.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453345859359475586" /></a><br /><br />And...meet our new little additions...Pearl<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjis693Bq7VcfFnbkYkRdvaauHqudz0E3v5CXowsrtlZKR9mTi8ggK_WR_fbWZX0R0Ca-eFreqggw5W2EgQyIk7NYHmuIOvEdYN6z6qY22kWaXuVUFt89YrmuqAy9lp56t0mbKL9zZjoQU/s1600/Spring+Boat+Trip+%2710+092.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjis693Bq7VcfFnbkYkRdvaauHqudz0E3v5CXowsrtlZKR9mTi8ggK_WR_fbWZX0R0Ca-eFreqggw5W2EgQyIk7NYHmuIOvEdYN6z6qY22kWaXuVUFt89YrmuqAy9lp56t0mbKL9zZjoQU/s200/Spring+Boat+Trip+%2710+092.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453346507930789586" /></a><br /><br /><br />and Hattie...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSYZlCt7DvYCnlA-bndIFHpH_KvvdBIVqWOW_aQ-IiguKNqxz8Pd1UkGAuZOCZqXL9AEhVX5Pj4bOqgjNGnWevpWYOAzfCaMV90Jda3Y7SR2rqAKYH9k1qqNrTcCVGmreceHSxeZ4tTFc/s1600/Spring+Boat+Trip+%2710+094.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSYZlCt7DvYCnlA-bndIFHpH_KvvdBIVqWOW_aQ-IiguKNqxz8Pd1UkGAuZOCZqXL9AEhVX5Pj4bOqgjNGnWevpWYOAzfCaMV90Jda3Y7SR2rqAKYH9k1qqNrTcCVGmreceHSxeZ4tTFc/s200/Spring+Boat+Trip+%2710+094.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453346515760609154" /></a><br /><br />Just a little fun for the Spring.

We decided to take the girls on a 6 day boat trip to celebrate. You know you are married with kids when you take them on your anniversary trip:) <br /><br />Outside of the fact that Payton hates to sleep ANYWHERE but home, we had a great trip. We went to Bremerton for 2 days and were lucky enough to see the USS Nimitz come into port our last morning! Jason was like a kid in a candy store. <br /> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixf_-kpzVxP1WHuAk1wyP_kcyed-TMJ6sphVmlFqMiRXERqmEZOvqc4OdcriBbR8llpRjWWvI1I5yjs00jzYkHvnHGd9JPNgj1POTSDaHgzmTTpJSLomHlSK4wtUEAXFr-0Q9JmtTIWlc/s1600/Spring+Boat+Trip+%2710+053.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixf_-kpzVxP1WHuAk1wyP_kcyed-TMJ6sphVmlFqMiRXERqmEZOvqc4OdcriBbR8llpRjWWvI1I5yjs00jzYkHvnHGd9JPNgj1POTSDaHgzmTTpJSLomHlSK4wtUEAXFr-0Q9JmtTIWlc/s200/Spring+Boat+Trip+%2710+053.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453342712421666242" /></a><br /><br />The next day we were going from Bremerton to Blake Island and we came across a grey whale. It was my turn to be excited! Of all the boat trips we have taken, this was the 1st time we saw whales. We cut the engines and just watched for a while. It was quite amazing. (I didn't even dare to try and take pictures, just enjoyed). <br /><br />We also had beautiful sunshine 5 of the six days with only a little drizzle and wind the other day. Talk about luck in western Wa in March:).<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4WRbY4UQPiLaMi0lD7hAzfSj9muCtenJOjKH5_vMwLKdyixxbgtcHMH-GD7nlRB05PI-LFXpM946lVY8PlHmHLfL9dYZcMGABzu7MgCelYhyOczd78AKqjilqgdkCOkI78ytkKumTwXE/s1600/Spring+Boat+Trip+%2710+072.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4WRbY4UQPiLaMi0lD7hAzfSj9muCtenJOjKH5_vMwLKdyixxbgtcHMH-GD7nlRB05PI-LFXpM946lVY8PlHmHLfL9dYZcMGABzu7MgCelYhyOczd78AKqjilqgdkCOkI78ytkKumTwXE/s200/Spring+Boat+Trip+%2710+072.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453343469238380530" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKWsJmhXm_aJaOcsh7yPF9uwCIx1nVaz4Ro7U_GTxiw_K7lqo7iiQlalEdS0g1GRXeLLE3xjxJwTVJSJ3TNtumlQBULTm5_vyNS6klVDQhKKOtcSnfWSszX3Cmv5UKgSfwaIdTaxcmavc/s1600/Spring+Boat+Trip+%2710+071.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKWsJmhXm_aJaOcsh7yPF9uwCIx1nVaz4Ro7U_GTxiw_K7lqo7iiQlalEdS0g1GRXeLLE3xjxJwTVJSJ3TNtumlQBULTm5_vyNS6klVDQhKKOtcSnfWSszX3Cmv5UKgSfwaIdTaxcmavc/s200/Spring+Boat+Trip+%2710+071.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453343426632642402" /></a><br /><br /><br />It was a great trip to wrap our 6th year!Tishelle Wardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12262885632363230496noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294696860156945973.post-22114781250479507072010-03-07T08:07:00.000-08:002010-03-07T08:13:18.830-08:00PicnikI just heard about this Great website! <a href="http://">Picnik</a>.

Was I really expcected to go with-out a machine for 3 weeks? Don't worry, my lovely Mom lent me her's:) She has a Hobby Pfaff and it treated me quite nicely. But soon enough Mom asked for it back and my machine wasn't done yet. I was going through withdrawls as my projects started stacking up. <br /><br />In the meantime I was ending my seasonal employment with <a href="http://www.statefarm.com/">this</a> company, so life was about to slow down a ton. Luckily I got a call and Bob (that is what I named my singer) was done! Right in time!<br /><br />The day after I was done working, it was just the girls and me since J was working, so I whipped these up from one of my old t-shirts that Reese loves.

What are parents to do? Well...we decided to escape to the moutains. We tried to go cross country skiing on the Mount Tahoma trail, but considering not much snow there, that didn't happen. So, we just went a little further into Paradise. This was only the 2nd time I have been there in my life and I was thrilled to get to take it all in.<br />Now you must know that Jason and I are not exactly experienced cross counrty skiiers, so there was a LOT of trial and error. I mean, falling, stand up, be out of control and fall again. Did I mention to try and not pee our pants while we watched eachother splay all four prior to bouncing off of the ice hard snow? By the end of the day we at least figured out how to stop without having to bail sideways:) My butt was very thankful!<br />If you are ever looking for something to do that includes excercise and watching your husband look completely out of control while you laugh so hard you get a belly ache, this is for you! <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaTnPXAazybXwWfLzVwJi2K7jejcXZpYDAwm_uB7dN6qzQtmAKh8sX7F1WjS77VCmTbPv4sEC3NU-b4yywxn-jK0rd53kMpDG1nV9hgBUi1OGKDNYyldCXlug8tlwj57-4yiUGm-yFboA/s1600-h/Skiing+052.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaTnPXAazybXwWfLzVwJi2K7jejcXZpYDAwm_uB7dN6qzQtmAKh8sX7F1WjS77VCmTbPv4sEC3NU-b4yywxn-jK0rd53kMpDG1nV9hgBUi1OGKDNYyldCXlug8tlwj57-4yiUGm-yFboA/s200/Skiing+052.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440832104376686674" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTH-AKzRCB-a6FONxLpszFKbZL_LdsfX8IRvAbEm1mQIbTGv1wmIkD33cfRznkr09V5kX28ZliIQUEE2gAJSRR5OAidwvD-XM6TNlgMYmW5G5see2wH7XdvS6bRFOzB9fr52ydl3B4IcU/s1600-h/Skiing+027.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTH-AKzRCB-a6FONxLpszFKbZL_LdsfX8IRvAbEm1mQIbTGv1wmIkD33cfRznkr09V5kX28ZliIQUEE2gAJSRR5OAidwvD-XM6TNlgMYmW5G5see2wH7XdvS6bRFOzB9fr52ydl3B4IcU/s200/Skiing+027.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440832087022760898" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAY1YevhYEAJC5EIQKfvwneQZzFj3TeXpGnTEvyqkA-RwMdomtWvyTllJ-CU25rUJGb2yQOBJxpMRpO77tyRRx9p_UrIW5yrxm9E9kdL58T8Qu3epUpzDZMMtyPZE9TzT34miy7y0-mMM/s1600-h/Skiing+032.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAY1YevhYEAJC5EIQKfvwneQZzFj3TeXpGnTEvyqkA-RwMdomtWvyTllJ-CU25rUJGb2yQOBJxpMRpO77tyRRx9p_UrIW5yrxm9E9kdL58T8Qu3epUpzDZMMtyPZE9TzT34miy7y0-mMM/s200/Skiing+032.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440832080837722658" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQejxPsRXIqfhlp5p6ohDYMPaD0LFfmYXIpZznLpcqVe1uRO0QrbEGlq0ohtbr9HZzwBO8NI5M0UO9xt5dzABEa7Qbv9LA1_9D9hDncrdy5IsFvPBxNDwg1-hmKCwbzkV1HAt1Xt3ieoQ/s1600-h/Skiing+047.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQejxPsRXIqfhlp5p6ohDYMPaD0LFfmYXIpZznLpcqVe1uRO0QrbEGlq0ohtbr9HZzwBO8NI5M0UO9xt5dzABEa7Qbv9LA1_9D9hDncrdy5IsFvPBxNDwg1-hmKCwbzkV1HAt1Xt3ieoQ/s200/Skiing+047.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440832073723667090" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdDnEg5OvPVZOpSE0Efza3hMXTwAttQy3v0ZyyAiqCPyg49B0tCLeTSdqgNO_8yvwMvuHu_lFd779f4JFjTa-lms3kn7EgW3IG3BDHxUybRey8PkAXrg4m4FCyFNCcmqURS3eKu60tT8w/s1600-h/Skiing+020.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdDnEg5OvPVZOpSE0Efza3hMXTwAttQy3v0ZyyAiqCPyg49B0tCLeTSdqgNO_8yvwMvuHu_lFd779f4JFjTa-lms3kn7EgW3IG3BDHxUybRey8PkAXrg4m4FCyFNCcmqURS3eKu60tT8w/s200/Skiing+020.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440832065349179986" /></a>Tishelle Wardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12262885632363230496noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294696860156945973.post-15225166497409946602010-02-07T12:55:00.000-08:002010-02-07T12:56:46.606-08:00Hey everyone...On my last post, there was some random person posting a comment.

It had gotten dark out, so they had all come in from playing in the back yard. I decided Sarah and I should let them bake cookies. They were so cute all lined up in a row waiting their turn to do things. Mind you, I am very organized and NOT messy, so this is always a stretch for me, but it went off without a hitch and the cookies were devoured:) We love you Kelly's!Tishelle Wardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12262885632363230496noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294696860156945973.post-66576841572973621632010-01-29T20:37:00.000-08:002010-01-29T20:40:25.455-08:00At Charlie Safari with two of my favorite girls and all our kiddos.

Since then, we have added two little girls and had a divorce, so it was time to update the album:)<br />This great girl (Heather) met us down at the boat in soupy fog to take the pictures. You have to keep in mind, this was the day after Chirstmas where my little one had had a double ear and eye infection. So in the grand scheme of things, they turned out pretty great! <br />We had a lot more that we would have done, but between the fog and the illness, this is what we got! <br />Oh, and seriously, when did my neice decide to turn 18 and become a BEAUTIFUL girl? I love this girl and so does Reese. They are best buddies:)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx7qaHVyTwR74QpDTRjDWe4HhCRm0s1hEoVIW4Dwl54U7mrcPo0JdnvbvteKG797Uk8KK8xn2Pv-qRssdX7POGDZ4H0B8mUR8fOzVmy478KtD4emotrhBzXKfJ5UuoLzKsnmDbRHYRIsc/s1600-h/tishelle+%26+family54.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx7qaHVyTwR74QpDTRjDWe4HhCRm0s1hEoVIW4Dwl54U7mrcPo0JdnvbvteKG797Uk8KK8xn2Pv-qRssdX7POGDZ4H0B8mUR8fOzVmy478KtD4emotrhBzXKfJ5UuoLzKsnmDbRHYRIsc/s400/tishelle+%26+family54.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431275135775598066" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Z3wSc6ZvX2pjACwuRo-eEl8irt24IibVhyphenhyphen1cmVKJqrQzN-FerduazNyMjhrWhXftLjwDq6pmcjSStSSS7dOkDR5wRo0HpPzzXdxOPDEWrt-k5i3JCd7YrRgo2hqr2UKUnESnQNbIKqA/s1600-h/tishelle+%26+family78.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Z3wSc6ZvX2pjACwuRo-eEl8irt24IibVhyphenhyphen1cmVKJqrQzN-FerduazNyMjhrWhXftLjwDq6pmcjSStSSS7dOkDR5wRo0HpPzzXdxOPDEWrt-k5i3JCd7YrRgo2hqr2UKUnESnQNbIKqA/s400/tishelle+%26+family78.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431275126910082146" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO__v5AsMturZSafibGjXBMnE24p0Wt_hrvAN863CWHCiIjYcuoNKloAAxZ4b_OS-yTiIEgX2s8Di0POe60_CAJ3qybVbqtEAdlk1QXoDW3B-xavv222yV22XWUxx09z6bYT5gqJKd9iw/s1600-h/tishelle+%26+family80.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO__v5AsMturZSafibGjXBMnE24p0Wt_hrvAN863CWHCiIjYcuoNKloAAxZ4b_OS-yTiIEgX2s8Di0POe60_CAJ3qybVbqtEAdlk1QXoDW3B-xavv222yV22XWUxx09z6bYT5gqJKd9iw/s400/tishelle+%26+family80.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431275114611829586" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjzH7dxY6eNhViReh6DREuL37YAz0ELwB2rbdVq1P_SQZ_bcb0u1RwYRrOuhpxNFTHeyHYnb_PWgaixXW5L1CB0JW-Mnkh6WxFJNpLGiXwEPcUknlrVV5G_wwbdqLfVTR8uvbAIKgFouI/s1600-h/tishelle+%26+family39.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjzH7dxY6eNhViReh6DREuL37YAz0ELwB2rbdVq1P_SQZ_bcb0u1RwYRrOuhpxNFTHeyHYnb_PWgaixXW5L1CB0JW-Mnkh6WxFJNpLGiXwEPcUknlrVV5G_wwbdqLfVTR8uvbAIKgFouI/s400/tishelle+%26+family39.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431276750273546706" /></a><br />* And a little funny... I never mentioned to the photographer that my brother Jason and neice Victoria were father and daughter, and when Heather was taking their photos together she thought they were "together" and asked them to hug and kiss! You should have seen the look on my brother and neice's faces!!! Priceless! Although I think it scarred poor Tor.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4WSq6KhTc3obPGMA8dKccPnQ4W8t6U_uW2pFC9yOXMRZaqGTDad-Fqt6pglNWQTsUD25_tQYZ4qR5fli9ljwOvDys8y8ZGGJGtU9KMxCBbdb6t21yxFarnujVkMBA9eTHzp9pAZ9qPPo/s1600-h/tishelle+%26+family36.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4WSq6KhTc3obPGMA8dKccPnQ4W8t6U_uW2pFC9yOXMRZaqGTDad-Fqt6pglNWQTsUD25_tQYZ4qR5fli9ljwOvDys8y8ZGGJGtU9KMxCBbdb6t21yxFarnujVkMBA9eTHzp9pAZ9qPPo/s400/tishelle+%26+family36.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431276734983567810" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Ai_qSHYI4LmnJ6o2bUsklLz34VrSHSK7o34iBm0lCo3hj1REYWMimeDt8695fhczoLU3AmsqXbLMtlY3NMpwTHyvYPUAxwrr-VszzY17JV9DHdYj583wfiQjWxMX_6aozLNHVp8aGpg/s1600-h/tishelle+%26+family27.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Ai_qSHYI4LmnJ6o2bUsklLz34VrSHSK7o34iBm0lCo3hj1REYWMimeDt8695fhczoLU3AmsqXbLMtlY3NMpwTHyvYPUAxwrr-VszzY17JV9DHdYj583wfiQjWxMX_6aozLNHVp8aGpg/s400/tishelle+%26+family27.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431276729909285282" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghKTH8RvpStkn5om6LZ0tH5oTTZzA9wO0u5pBFwIvKiqJoziuk54U46_5BAnk3cUvMkoUWxLGs3L3m-Ledp_0LPML2qsNaBvpnb3dmhlUaPNpxEmpM4SQ3N_HDkvY10BP-dWNbxqv3EYc/s1600-h/tishelle+%26+family13.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghKTH8RvpStkn5om6LZ0tH5oTTZzA9wO0u5pBFwIvKiqJoziuk54U46_5BAnk3cUvMkoUWxLGs3L3m-Ledp_0LPML2qsNaBvpnb3dmhlUaPNpxEmpM4SQ3N_HDkvY10BP-dWNbxqv3EYc/s400/tishelle+%26+family13.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431276312948772818" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPN8sApq-hPjEmMVjSVb0ceCw5lJQWBDHIlXcpFlWXZeqEukMayet4At7E9m_mjrhsNG_b_wBzh5qJFYDq_WH9j2_26_n-XWXbjnGz754lZQELXvlJLdzE-jIsq-vX-M-LQJhc6oSjpw4/s1600-h/tishelle+%26+family9.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPN8sApq-hPjEmMVjSVb0ceCw5lJQWBDHIlXcpFlWXZeqEukMayet4At7E9m_mjrhsNG_b_wBzh5qJFYDq_WH9j2_26_n-XWXbjnGz754lZQELXvlJLdzE-jIsq-vX-M-LQJhc6oSjpw4/s400/tishelle+%26+family9.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431276300271298514" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTIZVbn_DQL6DmHidahZbLa3R0M6rwRw8LUqGh7lv__hqDE2qbwJBW2MLbxhwbmt6_07_6R8BUQNRPyFpME9w3_nhAlV4mmzmbatKECDD7mSlyhnf-oo6pj_pDIBEIRlzUj9uqC4lanhQ/s1600-h/tishelle+%26+family1.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTIZVbn_DQL6DmHidahZbLa3R0M6rwRw8LUqGh7lv__hqDE2qbwJBW2MLbxhwbmt6_07_6R8BUQNRPyFpME9w3_nhAlV4mmzmbatKECDD7mSlyhnf-oo6pj_pDIBEIRlzUj9uqC4lanhQ/s400/tishelle+%26+family1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431276288074106642" /></a>Tishelle Wardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12262885632363230496noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294696860156945973.post-18118707259155248622010-01-17T19:23:00.000-08:002010-01-17T19:31:56.803-08:00And last but not least...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0wDA8bQh2WoAFMDDRomCnZq4oPBP60RDjJh3bsx1XVfRIJ0HSt3M7Y8Dg0BoVDPi2hkn4tZVj0hCl1MDkg03OSyUrZQDNu5I8EhVs2czlCZuPnsBz2D2sq49gfTa0ZIEsm5Gv5WpznZk/s1600-h/Jan.+%2710+022.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0wDA8bQh2WoAFMDDRomCnZq4oPBP60RDjJh3bsx1XVfRIJ0HSt3M7Y8Dg0BoVDPi2hkn4tZVj0hCl1MDkg03OSyUrZQDNu5I8EhVs2czlCZuPnsBz2D2sq49gfTa0ZIEsm5Gv5WpznZk/s400/Jan.+%2710+022.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427917198271064626" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn0r0cuglhDaBor7EqqTfXRmNEdgMbetVKU74fwgTmSVATy9rREMscd7NyC01holNDq7phyNGFH4BvZHYZTIgCSseWjmiql2uPFhS83Mi8NvpnmCSWs_HgHAWOKIZwLt70dDaEerkT_WE/s1600-h/Jan.+%2710+024.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn0r0cuglhDaBor7EqqTfXRmNEdgMbetVKU74fwgTmSVATy9rREMscd7NyC01holNDq7phyNGFH4BvZHYZTIgCSseWjmiql2uPFhS83Mi8NvpnmCSWs_HgHAWOKIZwLt70dDaEerkT_WE/s400/Jan.+%2710+024.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427917186364466818" /></a><br />We recently decided to re-do our "Wreck Room". It really is our catch-all. It is our TV room, office, my sewing room and the girls play room. It had just about every kind of furniture in it and really needed a paint job. Can you believe that it only took Jason and I two hours on a friday night after the girls went to sleep to paint it? We looked at eachother afterwards like "did it really just take us 3 years to do this?" It was too easy!<br />Anyways...we went up to Ikea and got new end tables, a new computer desk, shelves, file cabinet, kids toy storage and FABRIC! Who knew that Ikea sold fabric by the bolt? And CUTE fabric? So Jason told me I could just "Whip" up some matching curtains and pillows. I scoffed at him at the time, but it really was easy. And now I can say that I made them:)Tishelle Wardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12262885632363230496noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294696860156945973.post-8518450487536125012010-01-17T19:10:00.000-08:002010-01-17T19:22:31.329-08:00A sweet little dress...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0HQfX31cjogo14id-YBpw5KsV88owQc6dbcIODWy7QWRwiv5v8u4qxYg1PVnF1TeWtOPyvjmdGPH1eTjcxUJgPqs_RUNoqOA41NgGYKXEPQEi5o666NK8WoVpcHkRpMcET_zOHAnEMRU/s1600-h/Capture.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 189px; height: 197px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0HQfX31cjogo14id-YBpw5KsV88owQc6dbcIODWy7QWRwiv5v8u4qxYg1PVnF1TeWtOPyvjmdGPH1eTjcxUJgPqs_RUNoqOA41NgGYKXEPQEi5o666NK8WoVpcHkRpMcET_zOHAnEMRU/s400/Capture.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427913193660554210" /></a><br />This is my next project! <br />I got it <a href="http://lilatuellerdesigns.blogspot.com/search?q=pdf">here</a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWKxCGdFShDz03SH3EQZbmjSSgqP5w8Gnwo9VkOO5YcyIcMgCpCnmeBpCpIblm6Si0wvn_ZaQS3YW9azTUghRyNmH4gmACA13ZWQABqjhirlB2x_PjvLGBpmjHOHO6_5ImVvnph5mcV7o/s1600-h/Jan.+%2710+025.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWKxCGdFShDz03SH3EQZbmjSSgqP5w8Gnwo9VkOO5YcyIcMgCpCnmeBpCpIblm6Si0wvn_ZaQS3YW9azTUghRyNmH4gmACA13ZWQABqjhirlB2x_PjvLGBpmjHOHO6_5ImVvnph5mcV7o/s400/Jan.+%2710+025.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427913748525514322" /></a><br /><br />And here is stuff that I am going to use!

I kept seeing cute aprons everywhere and decided that we all need something pretty to wear in our kitchens! I sure do hope they enjoy them. I had fun making 12 sets of <a href="http://www.mccallpattern.com/item/M5720.htm">aprons</a> and potholders!<br />(The girls and I's matching aprons is next)Tishelle Wardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12262885632363230496noreply@blogger.com1
