Let the fun begin!

Okay, big day! First day of Kindergarted & Preschool. Dad's in California for the week so I had to document every minute!

Good morning Kindergartener. Good Morning preschooler!

Ready to go...new school duds complete with rain boots. It's pouring cats and dogs outside!

Gibs putting his things in his new cubby.

Waiting for Gibson to get out of school....(love your cute new do little lady)...and there he is. One day down. He looked exhausted, but said it was so much fun. Kinda funny how I already feel like an old pro.

Is there anything better....

Last weekend it was just girls. Gibson and Jayson were away on a fishing adventure (once again, no fish were caught). We dressed up. Met with girlfriends for brunch, and made pear pie while the rain came pouring down outside. I love my little lady.

Poulsbopolooza

Jayson and his rocker friends had so much fun playing at Poulsbopolooza this year, and we had a blast partaking in the music.

After the show we had dinner with his band mates family at their beautiful home. We played with chickens, picked blueberries, had an amazing campfire, and at the end of the night had a bed to sleep in instead of setting up camp which we had planned on. Thanks, it was a blast.

Vegas Baby!

It was lady's weekend 2010 and we had a ball. Who wouldn't feel like a princess staying at this place and eating this delicious food.






And If that weren't enough my mom surprised us with tickets to the Lion King which we have all been dying to see. AMAZING!
The trip included tons of shopping and lots of trips to yogurtland. We all agreed that we need to extend the trip a day next year for the amount of shopping us girls can do. This year I was in charge of the craft...and thinking outside of the box I thought it might be fun to pull taffy....ya, so not so fun. We all went home with blistered hands and sub par taffy. Next year I think I owe everyone a trip to the spa.
Can't wait. It wont be here soon enough.

A quick get away to Victoria, B.C.

Once again we shipped our kids off to Utah so we decided on a quick weekend get away since we didn't get a vacation for just the two of us this year. We rode the Victoria Clipper up on a very soggy Seattle morning, and ended up having such a nice time that we didn't want to come home. Our first order of business was to get somewhere dry. We stopped into a little cafe for the traditional tea and crumpets, then made a mad dash for our hotel. We ended up at one of the swankiest hotels in the city called Swans. It's a darling boutique hotel. All the rooms have original art, vaulted ceilings, kitchens, and private balconies. It would just so happen that they have an "entertainment room" that rents for super cheap because it's above their restaurant where they have live music every night until 2am. We were down with rockin' out with the band so we took it, and around 2am we finally fell into a peaceful slumber.

Our cute little balcony...did I mention breakfast from room service was included...we enjoyed ours overlooking the city.

This is apparently the most narrow ally in the city, or maybe in many cities?

Day #2 we rented a car and got out of the city. I checked off an item on my life list by finally going to Buchart Gardens. I'll let the photos speak for themselves.
