Wooden Shoe

 It was a BEAUTIFUL day yesterday at the Wooden Shoe!

We had a busy day, we got to have M with us for the whole day, she was great the whole time.

The drive down to the farm was quiet (thanks to a movie), I got to chat with my Mom on the phone.

I had followed a new van from the exit off the freeway, the whole time I thought it was a friend in my ward.  While waiting in line to get in I see her head pop out of the window and it's B.Lowder!  Such a fun surprise to see my favorite Vancouver-ite.

The drive was worth it, the field was absolutely gorgeous.

My favorites are the multicolored rows.

 Here we are getting our boots on, which we didn't really need...but they were cute.

Speaking of cute...love these two kiddos.

 These kids were great the whole time, although we didn't have a lot of time to spend playing (because Jaida didn't get to come with us, so I had to be back in time for the bus drop off...I made it with 2 minutes to spare) we made the most of it.

After the tulips we picked Jaida up, went to the Primary party at the church (the kids kinda watched Disney's Robin Hood, while I was catching up on blogs and WWF), picked up Russ and dinner then went to the Yee's for the annual Easter egg coloring party.

Such a busy, fun day!

Photo Shoot

 I took the kids pictures on Tuesday, it was pretty spur of the moment.  

I took Jenna and Logan's picture then Jenna wanted to take mine, that's why I'm in the mix.

Jaida was at school so when she got home I made her change and get ready.  We were lucky to have the sun out for a nice day.

I was so pleased how they turned out, enjoy!

Weekend!

 My sister came out for a quick weekend trip.  She got here Friday morning and had to go back Sunday at 5.  We sure made the most of her time out here!  We went non stop all weekend!

It's The Busiest Time Of The Year

Every year about this time I am busy, everyone wants a Christmas card photo, or a painting for Christmas is always nice!  Here are some recent doings.  Don't you just want to go to the Mokulua islands in Hawaii?  I was sad to give that painting to the owner, I was enjoying being in a warm, sunny place!
