Sometimes they are reminding me before it is even time to head out the door.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcitIg1qtxlH62hkn6E9wi2ZhSu3Btb_V8CreNnCC_Dt5QKMJDxaye7r9aXS0hwY92ybvgduU3FYfDhnCPnBMgrVd5Q_GCzHuV31xjNJwdXdYYSEvcpLwt9RIrCVyEMyDUs6H2V17WqoL2/s1600/September+2010+087.JPG"><br /></a>Greg & Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12062330785479423561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822388889998939994.post-49021467046647195482010-11-02T20:25:00.000-07:002010-11-02T21:00:27.179-07:00Eat those greens...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCW64DKqya67d8otsUUN_pBHTDuUPNYw8RvWpjDeBepyotsajGWxUCB0Nn5tJLgB5_RGHjGIZEsTtOVe9JBZt02WvrK4C-Q1lLfQC5b1OR5Nx1sjyZBVyrwPVBYYU7NvZIaH6d91y4zpCs/s1600/DSC_0222.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCW64DKqya67d8otsUUN_pBHTDuUPNYw8RvWpjDeBepyotsajGWxUCB0Nn5tJLgB5_RGHjGIZEsTtOVe9JBZt02WvrK4C-Q1lLfQC5b1OR5Nx1sjyZBVyrwPVBYYU7NvZIaH6d91y4zpCs/s400/DSC_0222.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535159885982194578" /></a>Here are some of the goodies that came out of our garden this year. We also had strawberries although not too many this year. We also had pea snaps...But they disappeared as fast as they were ready! Those are my favorite!! I was kind of disappointed that we didn't have more because it looked like we were going to have way too many. I think we had six full squares full... We attempted <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">cauliflower</span>, green beans, bell peppers, pumpkins, watermelon, corn and a few others. Early on we had a frost that wiped out some of the plants. We had to replant... Then we had a bad case of slugs. We didn't know that we had them for quite some time. We just thought the new plants weren't growing. One night after dark we headed out with a flash light and a container of salt... We took them by surprise! I thought we had a few here or there, but when the light hit they were everywhere. It was kind of fun... I felt like I was defending our garden against evil forces. Ha, ha. Kind of corney I know... We hit them with the salt and the top layer of skin seemed to melt off and you could see a slimy substance left behind. Part of me felt sad that we were killing these things, but they were sabotaging our veggies...Greg & Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12062330785479423561noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822388889998939994.post-71426694128184635712010-06-29T23:32:00.001-07:002011-03-11T14:13:59.721-08:00Visitors...A picnic @ KOA in Kent<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDeqPRywV68KEg5HY6Cmz396KoCGjxsQVGSCN4WdZYgibhuGdg-A_9WnlYtE2VCdZGvPJZVtbXXNVExrC4QFQrnyyH2vl-wIwjMf2qu67pXF2BVK2xhVWpf1I4MxyTjoadUhTkv7DI-AC1/s1600/DSC_0074.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDeqPRywV68KEg5HY6Cmz396KoCGjxsQVGSCN4WdZYgibhuGdg-A_9WnlYtE2VCdZGvPJZVtbXXNVExrC4QFQrnyyH2vl-wIwjMf2qu67pXF2BVK2xhVWpf1I4MxyTjoadUhTkv7DI-AC1/s400/DSC_0074.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488454071081042930" border="0" /></a>Wednesday night we were getting ready to go camping... There was an unheard message on Greg's phone. We listened to it, and it said that Grandpa Smith was going to be in town the next day @ the KOA in Kent and that they were going to eat a dinner. Some of the cousins and a few of his nieces would be there. So, we postponed our camping trip until after the 4th... Which was a good thing because we were able to scope out our campsite instead of booking online blindly.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDbRZFEyVSoGN4YoW4T0m0p43K1Ljmz1fV4w_vFuDMAIABUBZVq_tZjHrrMEQ7I8vnfD6Ea8g4G2Q12yTXlRK8UCANQdda4bMBe2FiIW7zntUnFdIlFQ9P83IuQ5ToHHZYEJzKyO_DyQAM/s1600/DSC_0067.JPG"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGZOEPjUIcD1yqWvpzn4zAtjZWDtlALetLxm01yX7oWY3H3piO3ikhoKfKYevsWCZYSHbpWckfx3J7o4zZGvvlP2TcsIGaid0R2ZKEIiAoQ2VE_82hPGEEbYjWAUoZzg0AeXFz9prxgwjy/s1600/DSC_0095.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGZOEPjUIcD1yqWvpzn4zAtjZWDtlALetLxm01yX7oWY3H3piO3ikhoKfKYevsWCZYSHbpWckfx3J7o4zZGvvlP2TcsIGaid0R2ZKEIiAoQ2VE_82hPGEEbYjWAUoZzg0AeXFz9prxgwjy/s400/DSC_0095.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488454061916070370" border="0" /></a>It was really great to get to see everyone... The dinner was great! Hamburgers grilled to perfection! Unfortunately the hot dogs were too frozen to even begin to grill... They tried to break them apart, but they were just to solid. We had pasta salad, chips and dip, salad, brownies, and few others.

They were so excited to get to ride in a limo! Some of the parents were talking about how this was an early picture of what prom was going to be like. I didn't want to think about that... That is still so far away! <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTL536cth-3GhHJcVHw3CrlcmddVzw1Ia2-z0NijgjU8Dh71sgEwyFrUpv5EAt6wRVpT_sv8KLAs5RSAx94pfDo4k12xfyIX1UV37XB17IN7-CNC0EdOz2gWKPiBS4ceHINCrlizRnrOyd/s1600/DSCF8700.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTL536cth-3GhHJcVHw3CrlcmddVzw1Ia2-z0NijgjU8Dh71sgEwyFrUpv5EAt6wRVpT_sv8KLAs5RSAx94pfDo4k12xfyIX1UV37XB17IN7-CNC0EdOz2gWKPiBS4ceHINCrlizRnrOyd/s400/DSCF8700.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487300679438003938" border="0" /></a>Inside the limo...

It was a last minute get together, but it turned out pretty well. It also turned into a game night. Which I won one of the games... That doesn't happen very often due to the fact that we have a regular winner at just about every game we play... Adam seems to have mastered every game we play. The kids had a great time dying eggs and having snacks.Greg & Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12062330785479423561noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822388889998939994.post-5951001527707049072009-12-30T05:28:00.001-08:002010-01-09T12:09:51.229-08:00Look Who's 1!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRYNIB-Cq85u-dycbe2VhxEY9Krt2ysxU9vv72oHcHnnPxWtl8jvg2h363of3Imvz7x2oUNsHqcENvIMVKFeQt9qoPGbWL63Bspxc2KF0pnD3GIA0LI2dSeXaCj6dgbfOW38MHqTJpoEzk/s1600-h/Christmas_Hailey's+Birthday+170.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424834483291289074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRYNIB-Cq85u-dycbe2VhxEY9Krt2ysxU9vv72oHcHnnPxWtl8jvg2h363of3Imvz7x2oUNsHqcENvIMVKFeQt9qoPGbWL63Bspxc2KF0pnD3GIA0LI2dSeXaCj6dgbfOW38MHqTJpoEzk/s400/Christmas_Hailey's+Birthday+170.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Today my baby girl turns one...

She really is a piece of heaven and I don't know what I would do with out her.<br /></div>Greg & Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12062330785479423561noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822388889998939994.post-77510070013124696562009-12-03T10:17:00.000-08:002009-12-25T22:24:04.710-08:00The Tree Is Up<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb-Q5GJnrc2xUzUpk7QsB7elDNTci6nE8LkMxQHyPeujnkKtafnozRpi5OdlVeN8L14lw1-a-fl_MOIyos9hs1m2nmwLpKwcCEC4ytdNUizfkIjxSkoJzLXYei391p32xwlvkLf69lsL-M/s1600-h/Misc.+Through+Oct+285.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419426815822068866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb-Q5GJnrc2xUzUpk7QsB7elDNTci6nE8LkMxQHyPeujnkKtafnozRpi5OdlVeN8L14lw1-a-fl_MOIyos9hs1m2nmwLpKwcCEC4ytdNUizfkIjxSkoJzLXYei391p32xwlvkLf69lsL-M/s400/Misc.+Through+Oct+285.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxztArGchKYfSC3tEgvxouwBWYmtZdFbMCsunrxWL2XtpvtktT1fKYDuUai1We2DGqbn3Qcc1_O7vJFrPOUR7ivSme3iv6Zrm0tQGGU13Scf5VSBlqHwDdEona8kfc_o1M42w6GRTncRL0/s1600-h/Misc.+Through+Oct+270+(2).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411085649074690754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 312px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxztArGchKYfSC3tEgvxouwBWYmtZdFbMCsunrxWL2XtpvtktT1fKYDuUai1We2DGqbn3Qcc1_O7vJFrPOUR7ivSme3iv6Zrm0tQGGU13Scf5VSBlqHwDdEona8kfc_o1M42w6GRTncRL0/s400/Misc.+Through+Oct+270+(2).JPG" border="0" /></a>Since Nick has morning kindergarden his whole stop is kidergardeners. It was really cute to watch the heard of little reindeer come off the bus. They were all wearing their hats they made in Mrs.Udsteun's class. His first question off the bus was do we get to decorate the tree yet? Unfortunately he had to wait until daddy and Hailey were up from their nap, but then it was finally time. He wore it most of the time while decorating.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsFi4OpV7vpFH25K819ueEaR0OVsaD5YTppEMWrtuzGKMQjOiEASzymB3vGdgDiD3ulCl-x2CMR5qDYXE-MB4Et1XyH-s1dlfzZVBcXND4hdeybEY7-wfwqJlrRZ72jc4n5GjUUWfwCevk/s1600-h/Misc.+Through+Oct+288.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411080108606347362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsFi4OpV7vpFH25K819ueEaR0OVsaD5YTppEMWrtuzGKMQjOiEASzymB3vGdgDiD3ulCl-x2CMR5qDYXE-MB4Et1XyH-s1dlfzZVBcXND4hdeybEY7-wfwqJlrRZ72jc4n5GjUUWfwCevk/s400/Misc.+Through+Oct+288.JPG" border="0" /></a> It's probably no surprise to anyone that we put a tree every year... But I thought I would blog about it more for the family memories than for our readers. Nicholas has been so excited about getting the decorations up this year. We usually put them up the day after Thanksgiving, which I've decided isn't really the best day to do it since I am one of those SHOPPERS... I love to hit the sales. This year I was able to get a few things for the house like a fireplace, and breakfast bar. Which by the way I am really excited about. We will have a warm cozy (electric) fireplace we can curl up in front of on those cold winter days. Which the past few days we have woke up to a thick layer of frost on everything you can see with the naked eye.

December 1st. It's a good day to get things started for the holidays. We did manage to get some of the other decorating done in the house previously, but that was the BIG day for decorating. The kids all enjoyed themselves. We decorated two tress. A miniture version for the loft and the one in the livingroom, where santa will most likely visit. Although SANTA still can't come down the chimney... or crawl out of the fireplace. But we will definately leave some cookies for the good man. SANTA do you have any requests?<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP2Ynnny6kzBINGPrx9ojsEk-4KvNZUIyX_NhOJRPPlCLws-i6_0u-3OwVBYyG0ByEpOal744rJPxQ3RoeXGuBGYd-AQTv6obktmebcxn40xbJTcxzxOPK1n5VlHVnfCCX2kDG6yso6ShR/s1600-h/Misc.+Through+Oct+199.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411080093562308466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP2Ynnny6kzBINGPrx9ojsEk-4KvNZUIyX_NhOJRPPlCLws-i6_0u-3OwVBYyG0ByEpOal744rJPxQ3RoeXGuBGYd-AQTv6obktmebcxn40xbJTcxzxOPK1n5VlHVnfCCX2kDG6yso6ShR/s400/Misc.+Through+Oct+199.JPG" border="0" /></a> I only had to move a few, since I am some what of a perfectionist...

Another first for Hailey! It was a busy day... As I rushed to get cooking and table decorations finished by 2:00p.m. I started to panic! Are Holidays always this stressful? As it grew closer and closer to 2:00p.m. I could feel my adrenaline kick in... My saving Grace was my wonderful husband, who stepped in to help me with the last minute things that needed to be taken over to the neighbors. He didn't get much sleep as he worked the night before and eating at 2:00p.m. didn't allow him much time to sleep. Thanks Hun, for your help. We traveled far this year... Two doors down to our friends the Mackenroth's. It was a Great time, once I realized that the rest of the day would be relatively stress free. <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_-AaMaDEQ7DSoQE1Mb_qCpUKQnzrlcqn0MZ_qRTzXTpxP_R5rwGkO8X6Chta2xO1u-zbXH3rRxjUCPg8ZEp8jxCfJlopePepPxU-0RYH0ybhBt9_-Tg1J1VxxavXU2f-nWx-36ytyO3uc/s1600-h/Misc.+Through+Oct+151.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410757956891830578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_-AaMaDEQ7DSoQE1Mb_qCpUKQnzrlcqn0MZ_qRTzXTpxP_R5rwGkO8X6Chta2xO1u-zbXH3rRxjUCPg8ZEp8jxCfJlopePepPxU-0RYH0ybhBt9_-Tg1J1VxxavXU2f-nWx-36ytyO3uc/s400/Misc.+Through+Oct+151.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWPhzEuIsZZI_uNAUEj38nTJyfpCjy5UdrrP9lYZP3EKtbeVSU7PxZ2fCXHP-lL3ScrugP625jIi9HeUjvKW6F_tILjXbk5yD3Th0dOsJjTdXfEtdNgbSPrOSIZGMCJkPM72DVXJZoUcvb/s1600-h/Misc.+Through+Oct+177.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410757949245792274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWPhzEuIsZZI_uNAUEj38nTJyfpCjy5UdrrP9lYZP3EKtbeVSU7PxZ2fCXHP-lL3ScrugP625jIi9HeUjvKW6F_tILjXbk5yD3Th0dOsJjTdXfEtdNgbSPrOSIZGMCJkPM72DVXJZoUcvb/s400/Misc.+Through+Oct+177.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0aR-QgPboBi_nFgl0t-zvMOSY95uWvtBmKk7n20Ie4NTou_UICFIl4ja4aoeX9VKogU12_F6tE6OaRqgkIhVjmA3QPf6HB2HdY7-9jaYt5pq2zYA4O8emWAKsKZBgOkbMrrz1wGXOfdbD/s1600-h/Misc.+Through+Oct+174.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410757939269395602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0aR-QgPboBi_nFgl0t-zvMOSY95uWvtBmKk7n20Ie4NTou_UICFIl4ja4aoeX9VKogU12_F6tE6OaRqgkIhVjmA3QPf6HB2HdY7-9jaYt5pq2zYA4O8emWAKsKZBgOkbMrrz1wGXOfdbD/s400/Misc.+Through+Oct+174.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijEnpcVqQaLiNn47RzRl44pdY2zlgdXapfte_LBvQNThtGghfU_owo3ZWxC3S3dvsVszfLD0sehVDDzUgKqaJCMxMibb_pzm4RnKKqU3mYTgZMkH5Tp3_7Ma3HhCNPRkP9oV5xTx4PCGIj/s1600-h/Misc.+Through+Oct+183.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410757933500863442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijEnpcVqQaLiNn47RzRl44pdY2zlgdXapfte_LBvQNThtGghfU_owo3ZWxC3S3dvsVszfLD0sehVDDzUgKqaJCMxMibb_pzm4RnKKqU3mYTgZMkH5Tp3_7Ma3HhCNPRkP9oV5xTx4PCGIj/s400/Misc.+Through+Oct+183.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4kZI_oJ6giMD9xc2MgZoXjQkbpM-L4K9pCKyjz4Q4rkuDAdaxD-rq2NeTBNXEpu-ZxEsDzSWESxla8wohvGbmmjqOBLGWjcljJ73wQuG1h2_-QJh2DgmZvP4Je3Y_TH0TrZP_axyIjD2B/s1600-h/Misc.+Through+Oct+149.JPG"></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>Greg & Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12062330785479423561noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822388889998939994.post-27008562465410106152009-10-31T18:33:00.000-07:002009-12-02T18:54:18.759-08:00Birthday Trick or Treat!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5VZm239-Ub5BZ3Na_vhALrFnoRunhMB5HUobrUXYgbLkaUSqnII0zsCf7pzowCfvDcQraD_iTySe0AmrL4xvIMSWspY8W2zzI49RRHEJ6gFG632ptPnp6xF5PlbvC4AQ-k23i2MgD9NOu/s1600-h/Misc.+Through+Oct+001.JPG"></a> My mom decided to spend her Birthday with us this year... Which also happens to be Halloween! It was a pretty packed day of getting costumes ready, shopping, trick or treating, and rollerskating. We were attempting to get as much in a weekend as one possibly can. But I wanted to make sure to include something special for her Birthday, after all she chose to spend it with us. So we headed to the spa... It wasn't actually on her birthday since the 31st was especially busy, but on her last day here before flying out we went to breakfast and had facials.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibtn3Dar44y5szkw0iyicAK2nhbWBzzotYkZkS4dn8qu4GBbtTtxkCnE8N2b5nlXTdsRx8KOjc31mwod5pmOyk5Gwv_UAvjBqepxY5eNSzGw9W7pCDK0h9CyMxpmmZDmM7BE_Jd3R5rcwa/s1600-h/Misc.+Through+Oct+005.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410832786476326226" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibtn3Dar44y5szkw0iyicAK2nhbWBzzotYkZkS4dn8qu4GBbtTtxkCnE8N2b5nlXTdsRx8KOjc31mwod5pmOyk5Gwv_UAvjBqepxY5eNSzGw9W7pCDK0h9CyMxpmmZDmM7BE_Jd3R5rcwa/s400/Misc.+Through+Oct+005.JPG" border="0" /></a> I had a great time, but realized that getting a facial was over rated... especially for the price! For those of you who know me well know that I am fairly money concious and don't like to spend money on things that I can't re-use, re-sell, or are of poor quality. I like getting a great deal, which we did... but would I do it again? Not so sure... My face felt a little on the oily side and I felt like my face wasn't really clean. Weird since they spent a whole hour getting it cleaner. It was nice and somewhat relaxing. My favorite part was the foot soak and parafin wax dip on the hands, so I would say that I will most likely stick with manicures and pedicures for now. It was a fun experience with one of my favorite people... Yes, mom I am admitting that you are infact one of my favorites. I love you and hope that you had a great time with us. Next time we'll have to go for the massages... <br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH7IiJJQ8VULVeOSmSnNQGMWuwcV7ivKTpdqy_V2-oQ482FsNJJ17hqjPxz4xAGLXrxxd3nrGB2EHmGe70EertWv0R6bo8aQMnrTZXke1TesG7prTBr6tmJiryAfqwLLRudW3IWLOWAJ5m/s1600-h/Misc.+Through+Oct+004.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410832782471277442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH7IiJJQ8VULVeOSmSnNQGMWuwcV7ivKTpdqy_V2-oQ482FsNJJ17hqjPxz4xAGLXrxxd3nrGB2EHmGe70EertWv0R6bo8aQMnrTZXke1TesG7prTBr6tmJiryAfqwLLRudW3IWLOWAJ5m/s400/Misc.+Through+Oct+004.JPG" border="0" /></a> Thank-you for being such a great mom and friend!

They did the $5 bracelets again this year. I think that is a great price for the rides all day. They had mostly blowup slides and bounce house type rides.

She weighs 14lbs 12 oz, and is 25 in long. She is still in the 75%. Dr. Grubb gave the okay for her to start eating babyfood/cereal. This was good news... We tried some just a few days later. She had winter squash for her first food. She did really well. She ate a little less than a quarter of the jar. Unfortunately she did get a little bit of a tummy ache, but it didn't stay around long. She started rolling from back to tummy in the middle of April. And her little wheels just keep turning. She is very aware and curios about everything around her.Greg & Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12062330785479423561noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822388889998939994.post-1439527891967912792009-05-01T23:21:00.000-07:002009-05-02T19:32:23.938-07:00Tulip Festival And...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd5G4HqXbV57TRNdhstSxDO_-FoAzBhS-6ZQWJcFf7dfwoiJsocBTk4tjuYAc34D4XiAt0nKtEYghJNikQ0RhqxSzL5LZGUKlqV7_0yO4Bcc-dh4geBkUIXVexuJUxSFJCJPGUIURyFvtg/s1600-h/Tulip+Festival+327.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331409988238803474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd5G4HqXbV57TRNdhstSxDO_-FoAzBhS-6ZQWJcFf7dfwoiJsocBTk4tjuYAc34D4XiAt0nKtEYghJNikQ0RhqxSzL5LZGUKlqV7_0yO4Bcc-dh4geBkUIXVexuJUxSFJCJPGUIURyFvtg/s400/Tulip+Festival+327.JPG" border="0" /></a> This past Tuesday we headed to Skagit County for the Tulip Festival.

A few times, I thought we were going to have to pack it in early, but we made it through. We browsed the gift shops, hunted for the bulbs we wanted, but in the end came out empty handed. At least in the sense of bulbs.<br /><br /><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbhxuDh27RTZE50WXZ_kNkdkzo6OPBv94CBWnvBIO0wqScG-63pBdnFNILUKWhEAWCKoH-17w6cikaKUCjTLH8j5qzYIUeig51753vVz5SaW7StisLfM7ZSPoboqgYF3k2ccBiaDoVM4xk/s1600-h/Tulip+Festival+345.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331405954309397362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbhxuDh27RTZE50WXZ_kNkdkzo6OPBv94CBWnvBIO0wqScG-63pBdnFNILUKWhEAWCKoH-17w6cikaKUCjTLH8j5qzYIUeig51753vVz5SaW7StisLfM7ZSPoboqgYF3k2ccBiaDoVM4xk/s400/Tulip+Festival+345.JPG" border="0" /></a>Nicholas' favorite part was the Purple Tulips. Don't ask why? Cuz I don't know. He fought me with the pictures, but at the end of the day he said, "That was so much fun!" We visited the same place we did last year with the Highfields. "Tulip Town" has over 66 varieties of tulips and even more other bulbs as well. It was fun, but not as fun as it was with the Highfields. We rode the tractor this year which both the boys enjoyed. It was pretty bumpy! Next time we go, we will hopefully have some friends to go along with us. I think we may skip a few years before we go again, after all they are just Tulips... But if you have never gone, it is a fun day trip and a beautiful view.<br /><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUr3Ydf9dmsbByNYLVJyN7zGusMvDvqWUY7eUoXeO3fmQkR4WRqgGwIuCRO8tdmk5aAhCfPTuBPGo5WGtqSi5VUm3O_hs0MVi-70COZTBogHX7gbLyqZtRZ2Lo7uR6C2gHQBnx3_9rFYRl/s1600-h/tulip+festival+050+(2).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331405485079924114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUr3Ydf9dmsbByNYLVJyN7zGusMvDvqWUY7eUoXeO3fmQkR4WRqgGwIuCRO8tdmk5aAhCfPTuBPGo5WGtqSi5VUm3O_hs0MVi-70COZTBogHX7gbLyqZtRZ2Lo7uR6C2gHQBnx3_9rFYRl/s400/tulip+festival+050+(2).JPG" border="0" /></a> As I said a little bit ago the boys started to cooperate, and I got some great pictures only... We had a corrupted card from china and it deleted them. This was after we were already in the car and ready to go I realized this. I made the kids get back out and we did a shortened version of the photos. The pictures didn't turn out as cute, but at least we were able to get a few. I'm glad the kids were such great sports.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNVcDqifurFdZwwdXV6F5iDIdhGhRy8rUm4Px7mkxbtQU4KWZZWlgh09MLSaHP8VZ66F1FO0E1LrWShgpVldtfFhgZJzd2BfBRkSms3ROGzzlzb9TX41EjhRalyMsNeRkydWXYGRTC30JN/s1600-h/tulip+festival+022.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331405298275201682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNVcDqifurFdZwwdXV6F5iDIdhGhRy8rUm4Px7mkxbtQU4KWZZWlgh09MLSaHP8VZ66F1FO0E1LrWShgpVldtfFhgZJzd2BfBRkSms3ROGzzlzb9TX41EjhRalyMsNeRkydWXYGRTC30JN/s400/tulip+festival+022.JPG" border="0" /></a> Then we headed off to a picnic.

They had a straw easter egg hunt, a petting zoo, and a train ride. The store itself was pretty fun too.

We celebrated with friends and family. We had our easter dinner on Saturday as well as a Glow in the dark easter egg hunt. With a combined effort of The Macenroths, and ourselves we had a yummy dinner with a easter pie, creme corn (thanks Julie-this is my most favorite holiday food), fancy potatoes, and home made rolls. I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but you don't really need to know everything we ate... It was also our first meal at our new dinning room table which was special to us. Those of you who know us know that our table for the past few years our table has been a card table (a nice wood one, but still). It was perfect for the apartment because I could fold it down to have room for the kids to play when we weren't eating... Thankfully those days are over! </div></div></div></div></div></div>Greg & Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12062330785479423561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822388889998939994.post-26575244715597410522009-04-16T10:05:00.000-07:002009-04-16T10:19:34.665-07:00Feels Like SuMmEr!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcwmX6Q3wdErnn2h0kinqbN1cIBh3daL3rOMSea2fMlGtjUbHMWUCsLVBf3AzJfWG8uXdAN3_-YfK0hW_mukD6_k9Cz25QHEkfgxJHaXMZrv2UspFRfcWEanL0pIs0f9fdi6dVXOcDIxiK/s1600-h/Easter+039.JPG"></a>Last week it reached a whopping 75 degrees. I set the sprinkler out to water the lawn and the boys decided it would be a good time to play in the water. At first I didn't want them playing in it. <br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpZG5XLkmJYP437Eh2i3DRDqHR4WAOXZCG0hxcSJ8ZBB4HW6PjqtFcdBEhKEkrMthxEqjsNUZTSA-Ens0AoMgQQbWJ45HdI5pGw7WifFvGkqL7naAdzmEzYgaES21qXwwwv2-IWibXdAMw/s1600-h/Easter+047.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325337591256614610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpZG5XLkmJYP437Eh2i3DRDqHR4WAOXZCG0hxcSJ8ZBB4HW6PjqtFcdBEhKEkrMthxEqjsNUZTSA-Ens0AoMgQQbWJ45HdI5pGw7WifFvGkqL7naAdzmEzYgaES21qXwwwv2-IWibXdAMw/s400/Easter+047.JPG" border="0" /></a> William thought it would be a good idea to run around in his diaper. He watched his brother closely as he ran through the sprinkler. He was a little nervous at first, but became more confident and comfortable with the water each time he passed through.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlwdEsgt8f8_PdhV-ha7ZX20J8TmFlKvcTgwsS3820FbssvUYOdvL1Ks3hFO9sWSnVeEfO1coTNIjSJIwlJmznda9vZc1JuzJFHXO260MaW99BjEOESHuEvLYI0P-kI3rVjsQkudREaLLV/s1600-h/Easter+043.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325337590506640850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlwdEsgt8f8_PdhV-ha7ZX20J8TmFlKvcTgwsS3820FbssvUYOdvL1Ks3hFO9sWSnVeEfO1coTNIjSJIwlJmznda9vZc1JuzJFHXO260MaW99BjEOESHuEvLYI0P-kI3rVjsQkudREaLLV/s400/Easter+043.JPG" border="0" /></a> It was fun to watch them enjoying the water and our backyard. Nick started it all. I moved the sprinkler and Nick thought it would be a good idea to run just around the boarder of where the spray was. Then he slowly got closer and closer until he was actually running straight into the water. What a kid!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKNrBB1fTZK6Bj-y5_ce_ViSr1T93gwT2hTBsjkSuabIXI7Ueg9HWnk_mrGz2u_RAJr7GSNU4EVVUQ714WkX44FPYSKaBZpZ5dtvCLM2S1bzCATR0mUVpIpB_OYyeAoY6fSjUfWjWE0p9m/s1600-h/Easter+044.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325337585498535490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKNrBB1fTZK6Bj-y5_ce_ViSr1T93gwT2hTBsjkSuabIXI7Ueg9HWnk_mrGz2u_RAJr7GSNU4EVVUQ714WkX44FPYSKaBZpZ5dtvCLM2S1bzCATR0mUVpIpB_OYyeAoY6fSjUfWjWE0p9m/s400/Easter+044.JPG" border="0" /></a> They played in the water for about a half an hour... The funny thing is about ten minutes after they stopped playing the sun went behind the clouds and rain started to come down.

It is a week long celebration. I was glad to get the kids out. I attempted this outing myself with the three kids.

I thought it would be good to find a spot near the begining of the parade so that we could get out with out a large traffic jam.

I didn't get very many pictures of the floats because people kept walking in front of us right as I was getting ready to take a picture. I guess people just don't think that walking in front of little kids during a parade is rude... I am always concious of the people around me, it is strange to me that some people don't. Over all the outing was great. The kids enjoyed the parade and lasted about an hour before they were ready to go. So we slipped away quitely and with out a crowd or traffic jam. <br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6x6mucH1Nr2BbAgZ0L2B5wmEjGHvSZb1Fru6eiZFs6fNf3ZjKXfZK1W12jxhF7OIt-hPtSjKlonbL8EOVXLNJW63iWVwC6Lny8J7_s7lw6ZrHUCg7KX8Hp6WBNpDgbULAjDZE9tmWt7Gw/s1600-h/spring+119.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325182541526526466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6x6mucH1Nr2BbAgZ0L2B5wmEjGHvSZb1Fru6eiZFs6fNf3ZjKXfZK1W12jxhF7OIt-hPtSjKlonbL8EOVXLNJW63iWVwC6Lny8J7_s7lw6ZrHUCg7KX8Hp6WBNpDgbULAjDZE9tmWt7Gw/s400/spring+119.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div></div></div></div>Greg & Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12062330785479423561noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822388889998939994.post-12966919550111505882009-03-17T18:38:00.000-07:002009-03-20T18:55:25.578-07:00Lucky Day...<div align="center">HAPPY ST.

It was fun to watch the kids when they saw what we had done for them. We wanted to let them know how lucky we are to have them in our family... One of my memories from elementary school was that every St.Patricks day we would search the play fields for four leaf clovers made of paper. We would turn them in for a peppermint patty to one of the recess teachers. <br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQEJZmClCP0VO7LI5dXJ35lkRfjmYrIalDG4LYD45wX572YVy5ww84ONRV3dKDIfipM1IACmMQlGKqOQYR9tLrCfF0yT4W4pN8oNyy55AR2j56Oqifg0WFUdhUnR8uX8By8WYCDX2nW2_J/s1600-h/St.+Patti%27s+day+005+(2).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315451726810927538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 334px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQEJZmClCP0VO7LI5dXJ35lkRfjmYrIalDG4LYD45wX572YVy5ww84ONRV3dKDIfipM1IACmMQlGKqOQYR9tLrCfF0yT4W4pN8oNyy55AR2j56Oqifg0WFUdhUnR8uX8By8WYCDX2nW2_J/s400/St.+Patti%27s+day+005+(2).JPG" border="0" /></a>We had some friends over for some board games and had some yummy green snacks!
