Stop And Smell The Roses...

Tide Pool Hike Beach Trip...

For Memorial Day Weekend Tony and I got the heck out of the Portland area. We've both been working way too much and decided we needed a break. We went to visit Mindy and Aaron at the coast and took a beautiful hike down to the tide pools where we saw all kinds of interesting things!

A Kitten Named Magnus...

Welcome the newest member of our family, King Magnus! Magnus is full of energy and loves his people! We think he might be part dog because he loves to lick us, greet us at the door and carry his toys around in his mouth!

Snow Day!

Today many people in our area took a snow day. Almost all the schools were closed as it snowed a large part of the day yesterday and then froze last night. This morning all the city roads were pretty icy and I have a big hill between me and work so I decided to take a snow day too!

Trey Trey turns one!

My nephew Trey turned one last weekend! I've never seen so many people at a little person's birthday party. My sister threw him a "Super Hero" themed party and it was really cute. My whole family was there and it was great to see all of them. Having a baby in the family makes everyone have an excuse to get together more often and I LOVE it!

Day 3 of "Halloweek" The Tooth Fairy...

Meet Tootheena T. Nocavitee aka The Tooth Fairy. On Halloween she spread tooth brushes, dental floss and mouth wash all over the world in hopes of saving some sparkly white teeth from the evil cavity. This costume was my final on Halloween and it was an idea I had a while back. I was trying to find the perfect Tooth Fairy dress when I suddenly realized my wedding dress was it! I won "Honorable Mention" in the "Most Creative Costume" category, yay!

Day 2 of "Halloweek" Marge Simpson...

This was Tony's favorite costume this year, he thought it was pretty funny. I must admit that this one was the most fun to make and people instantly recognized me as the famous Marge Simpson. I think the hair gave it away! Many people I work with saw my hair coming before they actually saw me and were able to guess what I was, it was a great time!
