Edmonds Beach

The Elenbaa's told us the tide was going to be out at the beach so we joined them for a creature hunting venture! We saw lots of star fish, crabs and sea cucumbers. The kids had a blast lifting up rocks and trudging through the sand and water. Afterwards we had a nice lunch at Ivars of fish and chips!

Moved Again!

After 7 months of living in an apartment we found a house to live in! It is in our ward and turns out to be absolutely perfect!!! We are really excited to have found such a great house. It is 4 bedrooms, is in a fabulous neighborhood, has A/C (which we have used a lot!) and even has a play set in the back yard. It was worth the wait for sure!

It only took a small army to pack us, move us, put together furniture, clean the apartment and even help us unpack. I'm so grateful to the many wonderful people who helped us do this yet again in such a short time.

Quick trip to Utah

My Mum turned 60 this year so we thought we would all surprise her by coming into town and have a special dinner with the siblings at the Tree Room. It was great to be with my family and we ate lots of good food!

When we flew in Christina picked me up and fixed my hair and Kate picked up Becky and we met up for lunch! I love these ladies.

This is all of us piled into my Dad's car! You just can't see Ken. It was a funny car ride and brought back lots of memories of long car rides!

Tess's 2nd Birthday!

For Tess's birthday this year we went with an owl theme! We celebrated with cupcakes with the Elenbaas' on the Sunday before and then we had a few friends and moms over for lunch on the Monday.

The first round of cupcakes!

Tess loved the candle and even blew it out!

Preparations for the next party!

Tess's friends Sadie, Mira, Brooke, Claire, Landon and Jake.

We had a little lunch!

The gift bags. It had an owl necklace and owl craft inside.

We put the candle on the cupcake again but this time....

Tess didn't like it! She just wanted to eat it.

It tastes better that way anyway.

She loved opening presents!

These are the gifts from the family. She got my cabbage patch kid babies and basket from when I was little, some bottles for her babies and some princess dive sticks and a bath baby!
