Fantasy football night

I got a decent team and hope I do good this year...we shall see. Go Lefty Lucy :)

Goodbye Tish

We threw a goodbye party for Tish and it was a success. Curtis and his coworkers planned food, games and a gag gift. They also surprised her with her favorite picture from work and hid it behind the garage door. She was in tears by the end of the party. So glad we were able to host! pictures

Hugo's first game

I took Hugo to the game today and he absolutely loved it! At one point he said it was the best day he's ever had! Always love making my nephew happy! pictures

Birthday at the Cove

We had an impromptu birthday celebration for Barbie down at the cove with swimming at the pool first. I hope this is the beginning of new happiness for her! I just love her so much and hope she had a wonderful birthday party!!! LOVE you so much B-toner xoxox pictures

Sleepovers and birthdays

Zoey had her first friend, Ryker over for a sleepover and it was pretty cute. They had pizza and played games and then went to bed. The life of a 4 year old :)

After we took him home we went to Lily's birthday bowling party and she ended up having a sleepover at Lily's. Curtis and I got a surprise night together...LOVE those!

Solar eclipse

Went with some of the family to The Museum of Flight to watch the Solar Eclipse before work. Wow, how amazing was that. I was nervous most the time to make sure the glasses were on Zoey right but it was worth all the fuss. When it was covered it was crazy how cold it got...so glad we got to experience that! pictures

Game with LW...had a blast!

Ears pierced!

Zoey got her ears pierced today and it was all her idea as she has been asking me to take her for the last month.  She only cried for a bit and was super brave. I've never seen her more proud and confident about herself. She had an extra little bounce in her step...if that is even possible. lol

Yokers family vacation

This year's family trip was a good and a mellow one. We rented a large house on the beach and spent our whole time at the beach or doing puzzles and games. I convinced the family to help me build the biggest sandcastle we could and it was a lot of fun. After we finished Curtis had the idea to take a time-lapse of the waves destroying it. It turned out awesome! Another family vacation in the books :) pictures

Walla walla

I finally made it to Walla Walla with Claudia to see their new rental house. They did such a good job on it and we had a fun weekend together! Love my Claudia :)

Family hike - Talapus Lake Trail

My little girl concurred Lake Talapus all by herself and we can't be more proud of her! She is getting so big and strong and we are excited to take her on more hikes. Nice job ZOEY!!!  pictures

Seaside/Astoria Family Vacation

This weekend Kara's kids and Zoey got to meet each other for the first time and LOVED each other! Kara and I have been friends since 98 and I always dreamed about our kids being friends. It has been hard being so far away but it was such a treat to all hang out for the weekend. We all met at Seaside and played at the beach most of the time. I can never get enough time with my Kara. Favorite memory was when a group of seagulls flew overhead and Zoey called them turkeys, Jade called them ducks and Alex called them pigeons! Kids are the best :) Saying goodbye was hard as usual.....I HATE IT.....but am thankful for the time we got together.

We then headed to Astoria to say hi to Jrae and then camped at the nearby KOA. It was like having a second vacation with just our little family and we truly enjoyed ourselves. Curtis and I played lots of ping-pong, Zoey learned how to swim and we all enjoyed the free pancake breakfast. This place is perfect for kids/dogs and we definitely want to come again! What a wonderful vacation!!! pictures

Fun at Panther Lake

Another fabulous trip at Andrea's and Jason's pad! Pretty soon we are going to move into their backyard for the summer and never leave. We love playing on the lake (fishing, boating, floating, jet skiing) and eating amazing Traeger food! Curtis is determined to get one for us....we shall see :) pictures

Goodbye Santa

Today was a sad day for everyone as our dear Al "Santa" passed away and we are here today to say goodbye. It was the first funeral for Zoey and did great sitting for that long. We are going to miss you so much Al, we love you so much!

Long 4th of July weekend

Curtis and I got away for the night and went to Leavenworth for Joe's wedding and it was so nice to get out of town. The wedding was amazing and the location was breathtaking. We came back that next morning to take Zoey to the pool and then had Barbie and the kids over for fireworks. Kriss left them a few days ago and they are not doing very good. I just hope that being so close we can be a helpful support system and bring some happiness to them today. pictures
