Google Outlook

 I've been using the Google Calendar for the past six months and I have to say that I love it. It allows me to color code events, has spontaneous pictures for things, and remembers what/where I'm supposed to be each day. Valerie and Mark has access to the calendar so about a week before hand the schedule gets pretty crazy. I wish it had a task manager because I need one of those every day! Sunday we were able to finally go to an appointment I made two weeks ago at iFly. We purchased the gift certificate two years ago for Christmas for Valerie. Geez, bad parenting huh?
 
     Thursday started my rotation off right by spending the day with my work family learning Epic Storkboard 2015! I tried to make it fun by charting a love child between me and Ian Somerhalder. Our baby ended up being 10lbs 7 oz and 24 inches. Yikes    This is how we felt at the end of training...ha ha ha!

 
 
 Valerie and her friends at Senior Sunrise, Spirit day, and Homecoming. She was nominated as director of the video editing homecoming class project. They filmed the homecoming game on Friday night as Franklin Pierce whooped Evergreen. She got the privledge of being in the box at the top of the bleachers with the announcers and her favorite teachers. 
 Her favorite teacher is in the Campbell Soup sweatshirt. Mr Zeiger teaches her AP US History and US Government. He is an amazing guy!
 
    Saturday Ethan, Charlie, and I snuck away to Ryan's soccer game in Olympia. Ethan offered up some pointers about playing in the rain, and tried to help us understand what it means by "off sides." I love watching him play. I'm finally at the ripe old age of 43 enjoying mostly all sports, soccer though is one of my favorites. Ryan is still so little but super fast out there on the field. I had to get used to the coach yelling at the team mates but in the end she balanced out her reprimands with her encouragements so it was all good. They scored quite a few goals on the other team! I did sign Ethan up for Tacoma Soccer Center so he will start indoor games again soon.   remember one super cute little girl who used to love to play soccer. She was absolutely all over the field, distracted at times, focused at times, and other times running around like a horse but enjoying the spirit of the sport nonetheless. #EPTAS
 
 Saturday night Shannon took Charlie for a sleepover and Mark and I went out to Oktoberfest at a coworkers barn. It was fun to hang out casually with my work family.
 
  Now it is Monday morning so I'd better get up since I have my mammogram at 0900! Sorry their will be no pictures of that on here. Where I go is very classy, professional, and almost spa like,  so I give them the priveledge of taking the pictures!

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 ...
