Here are some photos taken on State Route 203 and 60th St. 203 runs at the backside of our property and 60th is the north end of our road. We live on 320th between 55th and 60th Streets. It was kind of scary. Bill was able to come home Friday afternoon. Chandler and I were able to get out and attend my best friends Dad's funeral. Sammy got called into work. They have opened more of the roads out

Well here we are. Flooding again. Worse than November 2006. As you can see in the first photo, it got a lot closer this time around. We are safe and dry. Bill is in town at a motel for the second night. It was a little scary last night and I didn't get much sleep. I was outside at 3:30 am checking the water on the road etc. I have several photos posted for you enjoyment! lol I have more from St.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas.It was a memorable one for sure what with all the snow and ice. I actually drove for the first time today in 2 weeks! lol ÜHere are just a few photos of our day. The girls were very excited to get new I-pod nano's. Although they missed the envelope of cash, they loved what we replaced it with. Bill was a kid in a candy store as he received the X-Box 360,

WOW! What a week we have had! Last Saturday we had some snow/ice so come Monday morning school was 2 hours late due to the icy roads, as well as Tuesday. Then more snow....school was cancelled Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. What a way to end the last week of school before winter break! It has snowed pretty much non-stop since yesterday, with a few breaks. We also had some pretty high winds last

Warning....Picture laden post!!Yup we were flooded again. Not as bad as 2006, but bad none the less. The first 3 photos were taken on our street. The tan house actually got it bad in 06 and last year they raised it up. Too bad they didn't raise the garage. The house with the boat is a little kitty corner from the tan house. The town of Carnation was an island for awhile. Bill was one of the last

Sammy is NOT a MRSA carrier. We are so relieved with this news. We did tell her that she still has to wash her hands often along with normal hygiene care! Enjoy the photo. These were cards made at last months classes I taught at the Elementary schools. Hugs and Giggles!!

Well she got over the MRSA and now has folliculitus. Infection of the hair follicle. It is in her armpit. She is now on an antibiotic for 10 days. After she is done with that. She will go in and get her nose swabbed to see if she is a carrier for MRSA. After that. We don't know. Will keep you posted. Oh, here is a photo Bill's Dad took of us on the log ride at Silverwood!Hugs and Giggles!!

And Chandler's first day of high school. I think she was up at 4:30! She was a bundle of nerves! lol As you can see they both got there haircut, colored and highlighted! I was sure there would be some huge arguments in the morning fighting over the bathroom etc. But so far so good! they are also learning to get up with their own alarm clocks, so I get to sleep in a bit more since I have to be at

I cannot believe she is 14 and going to High School in a week!As usual we went to Red Robin for dinner. Love the onion rings! As you can see Red the Robin was there! She was sooo embarrassed when they sang to her. One of Chandler's requests this year was money, money and more money. She wanted to buy what she wanted with it. We waited til Friday and her and I took off in the morning and went

So Bill got some Mariner tickets for the 8/25 game. He and the girls went and had fun. It had been awhile since they had seen an M's game. And I got to have a break! lol Will post again right after this

I turned around to catch up to her. She was so sweet. I didn't want to interupt her

So sorry I didn't get our Silverwood photos up yesterday, but I have a very very good reason!! Shortly after waking up on Friday, I started to get a back ache. Thinking it was a pulled muscle I put some heat on it. Well after awhile it wasn't helping and I had already thrown up a few times. I called Bill to get home because I was supposed to be taken care of Sammy. So he walks in and I just fell

Okay, so Sammy came home from Wyoming on 8/3. She had banged up her knee pretty good from sliding and diving during her games. We had been putting hydrogen peroxide and ointment on it. So off we go to to Silverwood. We had a ton of fun on the rides. We never made it to the Waterpark side of the park but did ride the log boom and the other water ride where you get totally drenched. So on Friday we

I know I promised our Silverwood trip photos. But we have had some excitement since then.Bill and Sammy left Idaho at 4:30 am so that she could make her noon tryouts. Chandler was going home with her Aunts for the week. So I hitched a ride with Bill's Dad. So later in the evening we get a call from Bill's sister, she thinks Chandler busted her pinky finger as it is bent backwards. Chandler was

She had a blast, they bought cowboy hats for the opening ceremonies. they did pretty good but lost out on Friday. Sammy injured her knee pretty good, even today she his still trying to get it to heal. After they lost out she got

WOW it has been a month since my last post! So much for having the summer off!! Actually I have gotten a ton of scrapbooking done. I am so close to being caught up. I can't wait!We also had/have camera issues. We think we narrowed it down to frying the usb on the camera, not the cord but in the camera, same with Sammy's i-pod. We got the camera figured out...we bought a card reader. I was so

Here we are Game 2. The girls won there first game. Since there were rain outs. We had to go to Lynden (near the Canadian border)They also changed the game times, so we missed out on game 1. They lost game two due to several factors. They played again on Saturday. Enjoy the photos. Will be back to post photos of game 3 and 4.Hugs and Giggles!!

Here is a photo of what I was not amused about. See the little security tag in Sammy's left armpit? Yup. Sear forgot to remove it. Of course you can't remove it because it will leak all over. So after the little photo shoot at Alex's they went to the high school for the professional photos, went bowling then to Sears to have it removed then dinner and onto EMP where the prom was being held.

I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL day!I will post pictures tomorrow of Sammy's first prom! She was asked on Monday 5-5 and the prom was tonight 5-10, so it has been a whirlwind week trying to get everything together including both Bill and I purchasing boutonnieres. She had her 2 last ball games before District Playoffs, practices and homework, but we got it all done. There is a total funny,

Friday night I finally finished Sammy's NW Classics 2007 season. It went fairly quick as it was a crappy season all around. Anyways, I started organizing her High School 2007 season and decided I needed some softball scrap paper. So the girls and I were already planning on eating out for lunch, we decided to hit Ben Franklin crafts in Monroe too. Oh my gosh, Chandler found Cedarcrest Redwolves

Well my spring break started early. Not really a good thing. Wednesday morning as I was buttering toast for breakfast. The crock of melted butter tipped over....all over my right hand. Ouch. Not good. Luckily, it was only a first degree burn, no blistering or peeling skin ( had that before). Below is my hand all wrapped up. All is well with it as of this morning .

Sammy's team played their arch rival on 3/27/08. They won by 1. Bottom of the 7th Sammy hit a single, stole a few times, made it to 3rd. Sara at bat, hits a good one and Sammy gets the game winning score!Of course, I missed it. The weather here has been frightful and I knew I couldn't sit in the wind and cold for 2 hours. So Chandler was in charge of photos. Enjoy.hugs and Giggles!

Cards I recently made. I needed all three for a b-day get together a few weeks ago. Ages were 1 year old female, 50 year old female and a 69 year old male. It was kind of hard to do seen as how my whole new craft room was in a total disarray. I also need to put in a disclaimer on my recent post on my new craft room. I did not paint the whole room myself. Bill did paint most of it, he is the

I had such great plans to blog during mid-winter break. But we ended up remodeling another room in the house. The smaller room upstairs which was going to be the girls study room. Well that wasn't working out. So we made it into my new craft room. Or crap room as Bill calls it! Ü So there desk was moved downstairs to the computer/former craft room. So far so good on the studying!So instead of

Sammy chose to go to Ixtapa mexican restaurant (local) for her Birthday dinner. G-pa did up a gift certificate for her to have her family and bff's come for dinner. Her one bff couldn't make it since she had a cheer competition. So Carlee's mom drove her over from Wilbur, Wa ( Thanks so much Sandy) and Alicia, another one of Sammy's bff's came. We were lucky and got two booths. the girls at one

Update on Sammy's select softball. She is no longer a Flame/Inferno player. She is now a Spice girl....Seattle Spice that is. You know the old saying....Too good to be true! Well that was the case with the Flame. It was a tough decision, because we have always told the girls once you commit you stay and stick it out. We just couldn't do it this time around considering the money involved and a not

Mike Richdale! I shared this photo back in July or August. Mike was Sammy's coach when she was on the NW Lady Sharks 3 years ago. He was diagnosed with a progressive form of brain cancer. We were all shocked he lived this long. But we also knew that the girls and softball kept him going. Sammy learned a lot from him. He is/was a great coach. We are all going to his service on Tuesday.

Okay, this is what was behind the cut out boards on the wall. They must have used all that hay as insulation....yuck! The evidently birds found it and left tons of droppings. So we are in the process of cleaning that all out. We will also be adding proper insulation and making those areas ( one on each side of the room) into storage areas, by adding hinges to the cut outs etc. We also found "The

Well, Bill and I had a plan one evening after we took the girls to the last high school football game.( We are getting to old to stand out in the cold and rain watching football) Get into Sammy's room and declutter, organize her a bit. She happens to have the largest room in the house but is soooo cluttered she cannot keep it clean/organized. Oh the reason she has the largest room. Because of the

So Sammy and her friend Alicia concocted a plan....Yeah, 2-15 year olds with a plan! lolIf they could get a ride to the Northgate Mall to see the Jonas Brothers, Alicia's Dad could bring them home. One problem. They have school, would us as parents be willing to let them miss a couple classes (4). Well is worked out for them.

She came home to do make up etc. Then we all went to her friends house for a nice dinner. Then on to homecoming. She arrived back home at 1am. She is still sleeping now (10:30am)Thank goodness her softball practice was

Uncle Bill had to torture Cameo for old times sake. Oh no these two out on the road, very scary!

Grandpa turned 65!!!( Bill's dad ) We took him out to Red Robin for dinner. He ordered a Monster burger, as you can see, he ate it all! he got a ice cream sundae too, he passed on the staff singing happy birthday...bummer. After we got home we had cake....almost a well done cake, i had to have Bill help me get all the candles lit before they melted all the way down! lolHugs and Giggles!

So I guess a couple years ago when my girls went to the ocean with Liz and Treva. Treva promised Sammy crab. Evidently they couldn't get any or something. So Treva, true to her word, bought Sammy some crab and they had a crab feast, while the rest of us normal folks had spaghetti!Hugs and Giggles!

Sammy needed to play catch with Chan so she would be ready for upcoming tryouts. When they were done the girls were just rolling the ball to eachother. They stayed out there for quite awhile. It seems some "Hot" guys had driven by, so they stayed out playing in hopes to see them again! ughChandler with Sand Dollars, her and G-pa had a little competition going. i think he won.

It is official! Sammy has her driver's permit!! If you live in Carnation, please be cautious when driving. You never know when she may be on the road! Her Dad first has to take her over to the middle school parking lot ... hopefully every night! lol Before she gets actual road time! Me....well I will be taking drugs so I can sleep through the whole thing. just kidding, well maybe not. Not sure

Die tomorrow and all would be right in her world!For those that have known Chandler for pretty much her whole life, Edgar Martinez from the Seattle Mariner's has always been her idol, love etc. I remember at some of her earlier baseball games some of the mom's calling Eddddddddddgarrrrrrr when she was at bat. She would do it to him when she would go to Mariner games. So when G-pa came up with

We decided to tear off the deck the previous owner (landlord) didn't replace. Eeewww there was yucky stuff under there.I also finally got some photos hung up on my "accent" wall! The 2 bottom ones on each side are magnetic, they came with the clear frames and 6 more super strong magnets. I have not added pictures to them yet.Last photo is of Chandler, she caught the little bunny that has decided

Sammy got to do a road trip to Oklahoma and back with her Grandpa. She had a lot of fun. They had to get to Ok in a rush and a more relaxed trip on the way home. I will post later ALL of the states they went through.Remember she is only 15 and some of her photos only make sense to her! lol Enjoy the next 4 posts of photos. I think getting to tour the Softball Hall of Fame is right up there with

Since Sammy took over 1100 photos, from Washington to Oklahoma and back again, I have to split them up into several posts. Remember, she is fifteen years old and has a different take on things sometimes! lol These were taken on the way home. Las Vegas and Utah. Sammy's uncles Mike and Scott live in Las Vegas. Mike took her on all 3 rides on the Stratasphere. I will scan those photos (from the

Okay, I failed. I made it 9-10 days and failed miserably. I have enough guilt for 10 people. I am positive that I will quit sooner rather than later. Good news is that Bill is sticking with it. I am very proud of him.Update on his stolen wallet and key and neighbors car. The car was totalled after a chase with the police ( three days later). They recovered Bill's van key but not the wallet.

Okay so after this mornings excitement, the neighbor on the end of the street stoppped by. Her car was broken into and STOLEN!! I knew something was up because when Bill and I walked the street this am looking for his key and or wallet remnants, I saw the broken glass and commented to Bill that it looked like car glass. I didn't like being right on that one.So Bill came home around noon time. He

Well, it has been an interesting morning so far. Bill woke me up around 5am with... Someone got in my van and stole my keys and wallet! OMG.Okay so he is already beating himself up for leaving those items in his unlocked work van! We have called the bank, credit card, and the cops. I will be calling the cops again to come and question some delinquent boys down the street. I had to go to the store

This has got to be the absolute most HARDEST single thing I have ever done in my entire life!! Childbirth was easier than this, well I did have an epidural to help me out with the pain. Well at least Bill is going through it with me. I do think it would have been better if I was working. We are 2 hours shy of the 48 hour mark and they say if you make it to the 4th day.

Sammy. She drove away this morning with Grandpa at 5:45 am. They are on their way to Oklahoma and will be back in two weeks. It was very strange this morning not having to pack lunches, make sure we have ice in the cooler and a map to the field. The following photos are from her last game on Saturday. Her Aunt Liz and Treva came over from Yakima. they were their for her 2nd game. They only got to

Playing short stop.Score board. We are the Home team.Got another hit, but...got out at first.Now playing catcher.We ended up losing 13-0 . I think the weather had something to do with it. It was nearly 100 degrees.The girls took the loss fairly well. We went back Thursday to play again. It is a double elimination tournament.No slurpee tonight. Chandler had one awhile before the game. Plus she got

Here is why 'Big Red" was purchased. It just makes sense. We were paying a friend of mines husband to mow the back 40 with his tractor. It adds up quickly so G'pa and Sammy drove to Portland ( no sales tax) and brought home "Big Red". it even has a drink cup holder. :) Plus since Sammy will be getting her driver's permit ( god help me)soon, it is good practice for her without having to drive my

Game 2 was a nail biter. the girls bats were not there for awhile and they made some bonehead mistakes. But they rallied and got it done! Yeah girls.Hugs and Giggles!Whoo hoo!! They WON! By one , in extra innings (one)for a total of 7 innings. Talk about a total nail biter of a game. They play the Championship game on Wednesday.

Game 2 was a nail biter. We were down 2-0 until the 5th inning when the girls bats woke up! Boy did they ever. We won 2-5. It was so fun and exciting.

WOW, I can't believe it has been 3 weeks since I last blogged. It has been crazy here with Softball. Chandler and 5 other players from her LL team jopined up with 8 girls from the Fall City league and made an All Star team. The experience has been AWESOME!!! Their first game was on July 4th at 3PM And they won!!! It was so great for these girls. As some of you know Chandler's regular season team

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.
