Hot August Nights

Our Wing Luke Experience was interesting. The kids had fun but they weren't super interested in most of the exhibits so we wandered around with them half looking. I would be very interested in going back to the Wing Luke when we get our Burke Museum passes. Thanks Shan for inviting us. Unfortunately we missed the train going there and had to drive. 

     
Ethan gets a day to cook us dinner! He chose Spinach Quiche, which is his favorite and mine. His recipe was perfect! It made a wonderfully yummy filling quiche that you would find in a small quaint bed and breakfast out in the country. 


 
International Geocaching day 2016. I had to work so Mark took the kids out in the hottest day of the year to find several caches in Decorsey Park. Some of these he had to get pretty physical...wish I was there for those!

   
  

Dentis and Doctor appointments are a must prior to staring school! Charlie is cavity free and the other two have one they needed filled last year...future appoints made for those. Charlie ht/wt is 70/80% on her growth charts! No immunization needed;)


 

Meet the teacher day was last Thursday. I was head over heels with this new one but we will see how the year plays out. She was able to see Lexi so that made the whole nerve wracking event so much better! She was even able to plan another play date for last Saturday. I really like her mom and her dad.    

Valerie made me an awesome breakfast in bed on Friday. I love her and feel very spoiled! The coffee was perfect, and the French toast casserole amazing. Loved the crunch it had to it since the sugar was given time to crystallize....heaven on my plate!



    

Planned this because my family loves movies outdoors and they love Dinosaurs. It was a free event at Tacoma's Lemay Car Museum! We parked around 530p, walked to the bookstore, then walked to Freighthouse square for dinner, and then went walked back to the car to set up for the movie. They had time to throw the  football back and forth and play alittle soccer before the movie started. It was a great outing that everyone enjoyed! I brought loads of blankets, pillows, popcorn for everyone, and wine (which went unopened because it was so cold).

Calling All Women

The Challenge: Have as many women as I can interpret what I meant by "Spending ever day looking for new ways to reinvent our relationship." Please leave your comments so that I know I wasn't speaking a foreign language with my spouse. Men, feel free to comment as well! I'm sure you will anyways. Conversation with hubby: Me: I have a New Years Resolution that I think would be fun for us, do you want to hear it? Man: Sure Me: I think every day we should look for new ways to reinvent our relationship? Man: What do you mean? Me: I just said what I meant. Man: No you didn't really explain what you mean, though. Me: You know, finding little things that would change our relationship...doing something each day. Man: That seems taxing! Me: Working on our relationship is work? Man: Yeah, I wouldn't know what to do. That's 365 days, you know. Me: There are calendars out there that will tell you things to do that are romantic! Buy one. Man: Yeah, but most of them are ...

Monday, when we got back from our anniversary trip, found a note on the counter that read: Suzanne called. Play group. Tuesday at 830am. Who would schedule a playgroup so early? Doesn't anyone sleep in? Let the kids find their own breakfast, and stay under the covers till they beg for lunch? Well, you know heat here in the summers, ranging around the 100's, makes us southerners wake up early in the a.m. to do the things we enjoy. When noon rolls around, we hull up in our homes, doors tightly shut, curtains drawn, trying to escape the BIG BAD (the sun appropriately named, right Spike?)! I guess that was not in the cards for us today! We spent the early morning hours playing at the park with pretty much everyone from Journey! Unfortunately around 10 a.m. the heat found us and forced us to retreat to Suzanne's house for some relief! We had a great time chatting, the conversation ranged from ovulation...and ended with ovulation. I think Micheal enjoyed the conversation as much ...

My latest obsessions….puzzling The week after Coyote made a surprise visit! It’s been awhile since I posted! I was just looking back on some posts and giggled so I think it is important to continue since posts tell the story of my life. These pictures were from our latest venture to Paso Robles to see Coyote! Mark, I, and Charlie drove to Paso Robles California in approximately 18 hours. We stayed three glorious days and drove home within the sametime frame. While we were there, we got to see Hearst Castle, visited San Luis Obispo, saw the ocean and tons of beached Sea creatures, ate amazing food, drank amazing coffee, visited a couple of thrift stores, art galleries, and was surprised to find a outdoor vending machine full of specialty meats and cheeses. We purchased a cheese that was literally black all the way through. It was so good and tasty. It had a wonderful lemon taste to it and was very mild. Our Airbnb was located on a Vineyard. Coyote, Kees, and Pharaday even came over and ...
