2009-Spring
















It was brought to my attention that it has been a long time since I updated our blog. So, here I am, updating....

The beginning of this year was pretty rough but God has blessed us and we are doing well.

We enjoyed the snow but are glad for the sunshine now! It was so funny how we would have snow at the beginning of the week and then sun at the end. Pull the snow gear out, put it away, pull it out put away! Not to mention, the slip-n-slide.

Since we took a big trip in December, we have been happy to be closer to home the last few months. We found some little blue eggs in a cavern of one of our fence posts. I will add some pictures for you to see. Just today we saw that there are 4 baby birds in place of the eggs-so cute!

This last weekend Race, Aaron and Race's best friend Hans competed in a dirt bike event at Burnt Ridge. They all rode very well. Juliann, the dogs and I enjoyed watching and walking around the grounds there-beautiful scenery. We also got to see an absolutely perfect view of Mt St Helens-and I didn't have my camera-ergh!

The spring also motivated us to get 6 chicks-5 Buff Orpington, 1 Frizzle. In a few months they should be laying eggs. We have 7 full size chickens-3 of which lay daily. 2 of them belong to my sister and her family. We love having chickens. They are so fun!
I have been also spending time visiting with friends and family. It has been so fun to get reconnected w/several people I had lost touch with over the years. One of whom, I have been looking for for 16 years! I was so excited to get back in touch and meet her family. (thanks to Facebook!)
May was a pretty exciting month. Juliann became a member of the "Double Digit Club". She got her first I-Pod Nano and a storage-shed-turned-into-an art studio. It has been a gift to me too-she does most of her projects in her studio now!
I had a wonderful birthday celebration. Race cooked me a gourmet breakfast-second year in a row-I am so well taken care of! My mom and sister took me out to lunch and Aaron made me dinner. He also gave me an I-tunes gift card-yippee! (how spoiled am I?!) A few days later, Monica and Jennifer S. took me out to the Purple Cafe in Woodinville. It was a beautiful day and the food was spectacular-with the company being even better! What a great time!
Well, I have been delinquent from my task at hand for too long, so I will have to go. I can't promise that I will update this sooner than last time but I am optimistic!

Purple Cafe is fantastic! I thought the food was yummy and they specialize in wine pairings. It was fun to try a little of several kinds of wine.
