GIRLS WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!! Can I just say, I have the best family ever. My sisters and I have invaded the rents house for the weekend. Stayed up way too late laughing at our hilarious childhood stories and dad made his famous pancake breakfast this morning. Life is good. Now, what do girls do when they get together???? SHOPPING!!!!! Watch out Seattle here comes a gaggle of girls.

Take Candy or I will put a spell on you.....hahahahahaha (Evil cackle) Oh the joys of dressing up at work. We made a Harry Potter Theme this year. Happy Halloween Everyone!

Guess what? I leaned a hula and danced at OSU's Luau put on by the Polynesian Cultural Club Hui O Hawaii. A call went out for faculty and staff to join in the fun and I accepted the challenge. Pretty hilarious to watch I am sure. Practice started at the end of January and the big day was Saturday April 23rd. I was totally nervous as I was front and center (why does that always happen to me?) and we practiced like crazy. I have always wanted to learn the hula and now I can check it off my bucket list. The whole night was amazing and totally reminded me of college. The performers were so talented and the venue was packed. Plus the food was soo good. I miss Hawaii!!!! Well, here are a few photos of me trying to pull off a hula. Here is us practicing with Benny the Beaver OSU's mascott. We made him dance and it was hilarious.

Happy Friday, Here are a few pictures from our trip. It was amazing and I highly recommend you go there. I had a nasty cold the night before we left but we still had a blast with Blake and Becca Pederson. Thanks for going with us guys. Sorry for coughing on you hehehe Lions Bridge in Vancouver. I love it The sea to sky highway. Loved it too. I could so live here. Old gold mine. It was really cool but closed when we stopped. We are here! Our room. Loved the fake fur throw.

Hello, I know i know i have been missing for some time. So here is a photo for you.. I had a booth at the Mom's Weekend Art Fair last weekend. I have been trying to get in it for years and I finally made it in. Hooray It was worth while and fun. I have been soooo busy with work, life etc that I have been neglecting the blogger world. Sorry friends, If i had internet at home I would be on there more. I think being connected might be in my near future. Until then.... Peace!

Well, it has been over a month again but lots has happened naturally. This time I have pictures to prove it. Most recently, I just got back from the best weekend ever with Blake in Houston, Texas. Lots of good old bonding time, kayaking, good food, and relaxing. Blake's tradition is to make Sunday dinner and I got to help him make a traditional Venezuelan dish from his mission. Shredded beef, black beans, rice, and fried plantains. It was pure goodness. All fresh ingredients and tasty. I hope we make that again. Then after dinner it was a mad game of cranium with friends. It was amazing. I am still on a happy high. A beautiful sunrise in Galveston. Yes, mom I actually was up that early hehehe My Beautiful babies all decked out and ready to play. Here Blake is super bummed that the weather was crappy and too windy so we couldn't go kayak fishing. He really wanted to catch a shark. Yikes, I was just going to kayak and be the official photographer. Happy Feet and plan B at Armand...

We did it! We have made our 4 year mark! Love you!!!
