Sandy celebrated his 30th birthday this year. I am confessing to being a bad wife in that I pretty much have two pictures from the festivites...let's go with that the festivities were too crazy to be shown here...yeah, we'll go with that.
We had a wonderful dinner of lamb shanks (thanks mom).
Sandy was given a grill/smoker that he had his eye on. He got several accessories/toolsand was seriously looking forward to grilling (more on that later).
Happy Birthday Love,
It was finally nice outside (read: not raining and over 55 degrees).
Everytime we go outside, Addi asks to go in the tree. Being 2, it means that
we get to hang out under the tree and make sure she doesn't break her arm....plenty of time for that later.
Ok, so looking back through my pictures over the years, I realize that I take a lot of close-up pictures of the flowers in my garden. Why do I not take normal pictures of my garden? Why every year? who knows...at least here are two instead of 50 :-) Though, I'm sure there are more to come.
Hurray, Sandy got to try out his new grill...this is an Elk tenderloin wrapped in bacon..yumm!
The last day of school, I went with the middle school classroom I work with to Silverwood. Silverwood, for those of you who don't know is a huge themepark out of Spokane. They've got about six giant roller coasters and a ton of other fun rides. Every year, we take about 15 people up for the day to play. That means we leave at about 6:00 am and get back at about 9:30 pm. It's a long day, but sooo much fun. For confidentiality sake, I can't show any pictures of the kids, so here are a few others.

My friend Shannon...hi Shannon.
This is another confession photo. This year we went on the second annual Wallowa Lake trip with my parents. For some reason, this is the only picture I have from the weekend...Add in front of a pig bbq...?????
An artistic phot that Addi took.

It's hard to tell in this picture, but she's covered in marshmellow. We've had my parents over a few times for a bbq. Sandy discovered that the grill makes a great marshmellow roaster.
About three months ago, Addi asked me when her birthday was. I told her. Literally every day since then, she's asked, "Did you know my birthday is coming up?" or "Hey, Mama, have you been thinking about my birthday?"...everyday. She also decided that she wanted a strawberry/blueberry cake. Girl knows her mind. So, on the morning of her birthday, she got to help me make her birthday cake...so fun.

Her great-Nana and Pappy bought her a Dora kitchen.
It was her very favorite present and still is.
She still asks pretty much everyday if I'll cook with her...banana cake.
