This and That and tons of Chaos!

Well Chandler is done with her regular season. Her are some shots of her pitching on the last game I was able to attend. I sooo screwed up and had the smallest photo card in the camera. DUH! Anyways she start her "All Star" practices tomorrow. Her first game will be on July 4th @ 3pm. Which means we wont be able to do the Carnation 4th festivities and parade. We have done thewm for 15 years and always have a lot of fun. But we will be back home for the neighbors HUGE firework display.
Friday is the last day of school. We are sooo excited. I should be able to post more often. Enjoy the photos. Hugs and Giggles!







Okay so after we lived here a year, the kitchen light went out. It was one of those ugly flourescent ones. Well about a year ago my FIL checked it out and said it was probable the wiring. Fast forward to last weekend. Bill took it down, since we found a ceiling light amongst the crap in the closet. So he went ahead and installed it, mind you Bill is not a real handy kind of guy...painting yes. Not electrical. Anyways, as you can see. It works, see Sammy, she had an idea? She can be soooo blonde at times.The light fixture is just temporary until I pick out and can afford the one I want. Bill also got The "accent" wall done. We will be adding family photos in black frames on that wall.






So while the weather is a little cooler outside we decided to do some stuff inside. Bill is doing a great job. I have done some but he is the "MAN" As you can see some repair work needed to get done, we dont know what the previous owners did but geez! Some weird stuff I tell ya. But hey, I get to get the curtain rods I have wanted for awhile and probably new curtains too. AND a few store are having a few window covering sales this week. Who-hoo for me! Oh and the cats have been getting confused as we have been shuffling furniture all over the place and they do not like change. They finally settled and I had to snap a photo. Aren't they sooo cute!












Organizing my stamp room. I saw punch storage on Nichole Heady's blog, using curtain rods.( purchased at Home Depot) I did the same as the gal did and painted them black (matte) actually Bill painted them for me. I hung them up and added my punches. I think it turned out good. I also had two shelves I had Bill paint as well. Im still arranging and rearranging them. lol


Vancouver Trip

Okay, so on the way to vancouver we stopped in Chehalis and went shopping at WalMart. It was fun.
After we checked in at the Hotel and relaxed awhile. Bill suggested we drive to Portland Oregon. see we all have been out of the state of Washington, but not as a family. Good idea, well sort of. We forgot about rush hour traffic. Add to that we had no map, no idea where the heck we were going. o0h well. We made it all right and Bill and the girls got tons of photos of interesting things.Enjoy!
Hugs and Giggles!










Ordered in Pizza...it was yummo!






Game time!



Staying cool between games.



Chandler, the cone! One of the players Moms, jokingly told Chandler to save her parking spot. Chan thought she was serious. She stood out there for at least an hour. The Mom was shocked she stood there that long. ( we made her make the cone sign)! She got paid well, her milkshake was paid for at dinner. Ü




She was out but the Ump said she was safe, i think he needed glasses for that call!



Chandler and I went shopping and came across this treet sign. We just had to take a photo.


Hi, my name is Chandler and I am sooo cool!!


The girls cleaned up nice.




Bill...the big kid!




Wiped out!



Out again. Not the best hitting weekend for Sammy!

Our Trip to/from Wenatchee

Okay so we went to Wenatchee a day earlier than planned. We are glad we did even if we had to get a hotel room. Not to mention the team was done after the 2 losses on Friday so at least we got to see one game.
The first 4 photos are: chandler waking up from a short snooze. She was not feeling well, she had a cold and or allergies. Snow on Steven's pass, icky snow still along the roadway, waterfalls and the river. It had been quite a few years since I had driven Steven's pass. It was a nice change. We may plan a few day trips in the future. We really want to stop in Leavenworth and walk the town. I do know they have a taffy place. Enjoy the photos.The very last photo is my new Welcome sign for our entryway. We bought it at the candy shop! Hugs and Giggles








Bill is NOT quick with the camera. I kept hollering, take a photo, take a photo! lol




I hadn't seen this before so I had to take a photo!



Chan and I messing around.


We could only find a room with a king bed, so Chandler got the floor! poor girl :(



Photos taken in Leavenworth, Washington.







On the way home.
