Easter, family runion, the beach!

What a great weekend we had at the Lummi beach house! I know this post is several weeks old now, but I forgot to download all the pictures off of my folks computer before we left so I was waiting till I got them before updating.
My little brother, his wife and daughter had come up for his pre-deployment leave ( they live in Kansas, he is in the Army), my other brother graced us with his presents from Crystal Mountain and we journeyed up from OR. It was a whirlwind weekend but well worth the family time we did get!

My adorable little crew! They love going to the beach house so much!

The family....What a bunch of crazies! Now you see we all come by it naturally!

Lucy and Isis reading some books and watching a movie. She is such a little sweetie! And boy does Lucy love her!

The 3 stooges...Trying to get us all to look half way decent for a photo is next to impossible, so why even try....The boys kept coming up with expression ideas...I think they are pondering a deep thought, or gazing into the future here. I on the other hand just keep smiling at the camera...Its hard to believe I am the oldest....they passed my up long ago.

Easter egg hunting.

A nice soak in the hot tub....awwww so wonderful!

Lucy was loving the fact that she can carry Isis around....I dont think Isis minds to much either!

The egg dying operation. They really got creative this year using rubber bands to make the eggs striped. Very cool!

Bob and I getting ready for a nice run on the island, I think this is my favorite place to run.
And he is my favorite running partner.

My Big Bear and I at the beach. Love this guy so much!

Coloring the eggs before dying them.

My cute little niece! Isis Moon!!!


Caymus and his Tio Reid, he loves that guy so much!!!

Bob and I coming back form beach combing early in the morning.
Bob and I enjoying the beach.

Reid slept on the deck testing out some of his new camping gear, Caymus couldn't wait to go check it out first thing in the AM.

Who would have thought that my mama would be the little one in the family! HA well she is!

I stole Isis and took her to the beach, I dont think she ate to much sand...she sure did have fun!

And our fairwell picture. Bye bye Lummi, we will be back soon!!!

Family Reunion

This is the last time our entire family was all in the same place at the same time....June 13, 2009.
This weekend we are all gathering together at the parents island getaway aka there house. Bryce, Desiree and Isis are flying in from Kansas, Reid is driving up from his mountain getaway on Mt Rainer and we (Lucy, Caymus, Bob and I) are driving up from Oregon. Should be 2 whole days of family fun!!!

My organized garage!!!!!

Another entry!? What?

FIRE!!! We broke in our fire pit this week! We all really enjoy having a fire and have been really looking forward to using our new fire pit. As you can tell its really all about the marshmallows....

Tulah, Lucy and Caymus

My girl, she really enjoyed her "down" weekend. I dont think she got dressed all weekend.

Lucy, Bob and I warming by the fire.

Caymus the fire lover, and my super helper! He was a rock star this weekend.

~FIRE~

~Sweethearts~

Front yard ready to plant!!! Finally!

And now that the weekend is over, I need to let my body recover! That was a lot of digging gravel!

Yard Update!

We finished the path today!!! Love it and I am so excited!!!

Got an awesome surprise today from my honey!!! He built us a raised bed for our veggie garden! And has a second one coming! And filled it with garden soil! He is a keeper!!!

Definitely a keeper!

Yard work with my little man!

Caymus and I have been working in the yard the last few days, digging a path for the front yard, moving gravel in the back and so on. He actually is eager to help too! I love it!

Unfortunately he does not like to pose for pictures like I would like him too!!! He is still cute as heck!!!

Out of order......

Yes this post is a little random....but then again so am I......


Caymus had received a Christmas gift from a friend of a 1700+ piece Lego set of a mini city, including a police station, police vehicles, fire trucks, and public work machinery. We had been working on it of and on and finally completed the construction of it! What an accomplishment!


Lucy, back row center. Cheering at the Cascade basketball game.

Caymus, front row center, also cheering at the Cascade basketball game. He was determined to be part of the camp and how can I say no? He had a blast and was the only boy who did it. He is no dummy! Only boy with a room full of cheerleaders? Duh!!!


Well as some of you may know, but most do not, I am a VERY active part of the kids school PTC. Actually I am the Secretary and Treasurer for this school year....We do a lot for our little school, including dress up for various things.....This month was our school carnival, theme was "Under the Big Top". The carnival is our big fundraiser for the year and a lot of work! In the end it was a huge success and the highest grossing carnival do date for the school. Big pat on the back!


This is the PTC board, Brenda, Jill and Marlea. We were dressed up here for the spirit Assembly promoting the carnival. You should have seen the look on my kids faces when they realized that was me.......
Marlea the Red


And here we are again on the night of the carnival....


We raised money from another fundraiser earlier in the year to purchase this rock wall for the gym....Brenda and I had to test it out first! So cool and so fun. The kids have all had a chance to learn a little about climbing in their PE classes over the last month.

So as you can see I have been a little busy.....
