Busy Busy Month

Wow. July has been BUSY.

First niece Marley's birthday, then mine, then Darrens, then my moms.

24 hour joint birthday trip to Seattle.

Oscar's in a saturday baseball class.

Threw a 40th Anniversary party for my parents.

Darren's traveled on business three weeks in a row. YUCK!!

Found out I'm pregnant - 9 weeks now!!! Yup that's right.... PREGNANT!!

In laws came for a great visit.

It was fun, but hoping for a less eventfull August!!

Personality Differences

So we have two sons. Same genetic pool. Same environment. Night & day different personalities. Last night we had blueberries for dessert.

Calvin squished his before eating them...

Oscar indivudually polished them & lined them up before eating them....

What a holiday...

Wow. Lots going on here on our holiday weekend.

First, my birthday party. I'm 36. Yes 36. Lots of fun. Ice cream cake. Yummy.

Then my parents took the boys for the rest of the weekend. They went lavender picking on a farm & had a FABULOUS time.

And Darren & I went on a 24 hour visit to Seattle Washington. Actually it was more like 22 hours to be exact but it was AWSOME. We went to Pikes Market, stayed in the W hotel, toured the Seattle Public Library (by Rem Koolhaas), and had dinner at Salty's while watching the sun set.

This was the view from our table at Salty's...

The corner of our hotel room. You can see how high we are...look at the buildings!!

And the library. SO COOL. It was an amazing building.

And now it is monday....

First Garden Ever...

I've never been able to grow much. Catus's, one jade plant. Violets only if they are started by my mother in law. I've been lucky w/ spices. This year - with the encourement of my friend Jen I planted 4 tomatos, 1 zucchini & 1 summer squash. Look what I found this am!!! I'm so proud!!
