The things we do at baby showers!!! Cory was kind enough to host her own baby shower! It was a very nice gathering of ladies with tasty cupcakes and snacks! We played several games including who can drink out of a baby bottle the fastest, what's in your purse (you would be surprised) and a great stand by - what candy is in the dirty diaper. So great to be with my family of friends. Can't wait to meet baby Lulu!

WA - Last Day

and old scary doll from Nick's childhood





My parents where so sweet and drove Annika and I back down to Seattle, where we enjoyed lunch at a yummy Thai restaurant. Ahnie and I took a nap and then went for a walk and got some ice cream - perfect treat for a pretty hot day in Seattle. Then I "tried" to take some pictures of Annika and Nick but all they did was laugh - so cute!!!! She was laughing so hard it hurt!! and then.....I had to say goodbye to Annika and her belly:(

Teriann and Jane - journey towards adoption! UPDATE

June Sophia Vaughan Hinton : Born on July 16, 2010. 6lbs, 4 oz. 18.5"

They have a new baby girl in their life as of yesterday. Little June Sophia is one week old today!! Tony and I are SO excited for them - it is amazing to think that their long journey as resulted in this little bundle of joy. As of Monday of this week they learned of her birth, birth mother's story and NOW only three days later she is home with them!! Oh how I can't wait to meet this newest addition in August (that makes three babies I get to meet)!! I just got a message from Annika that she and Nick met her last night and got to hold her!!! SO fun :)

Spooner - old pictures

I don't think I ever posted these - Spooner's first bath! What a twink!! and him sleeping with his many toys!!!

Hiking with Hannah - 5th of July

Beautiful day - we tried Elephant Head trail but we couldn't cross the stream so we did some "hiking" along the dirt road! The puppies had so much fun!! I had Spooner off the leash - BIG MISTAKE - a truck came along and he wouldn't come back to me and he ended up jumping through the driver's side window into the driver's lap. Luckily the woman driving was very nice and laughed. I was mortified! I learned my lesson:)

4th of July

Tony and I spent the day working on the "man cave" and Hannah came over for a tail gate BBQ!!

Erin's Bachelorette Party - Chico

Erin's Helena representation:)


Livingston girls!


Lamb Chops, Polenta - very good BUT nothing compares to the Filet Mignon! I should know never to stray from it:)

Kristen and Hannah shared the Beef Wellington - so tender and yummy!

Sweet Erin got married on June 26th - I wasn't able to attend because I was in WA - but I heard that the Livingston girls really lived it up!! I had so much fun celebrating with Erin at Chico - so happy for her!!

Judy and Gordi Visit - Now over a month ago!!

Tad bit behind on the posting!! We had a fabulous visit with Judy and Gordi! We traveled to the park, walked around town, played lots of games, sat in the camper as it rained rained and rained some more (like WA all day rain - icky), went to Chico for dinner, Rib and Chop (of course), made some fun dinners!!! and watched our puppies play!! So much fun!

First wedding of the season!!
