Turkey Trot

Went to my first ever Turkey Trot while in Washington for Thanksgiving. It was pretty cool. Sarah Palin was suppose to be there and we waited forever to see her, but only saw her mother, apparently she ducked out early - darn it! There were some interesting characters - like banana man!

October

October....went to a Fall Festival, carved pumpkins, and went to the church Halloween party. Lots of fun....

More Birthdays...

The Walsman kids are some of my favorites to babysit. Kaylee and Sami's birthdays were in September and we celebrated at this really fun farm, with all their cousins, in Viriginia. It was a lot of fun, even though we did end the day with sunburns and an allergy attack for Zach (who's allergic to...well...everything!)

Keith's Birthday

Shannon & Keith turned 14 this year. Shannon had her party down at the beach and Keith invited all their friends over to the house. They rented one of those huge water slides. The kids were still using it after it got dark & chilly - teenagers are crazy! We had to lock them out on the deck later after they had a "cake fight"

Seattle

In August I took another trip to Washington. This time, Jenny & I went to Seattle for a Girl's Weekend. We drove up late Friday night. Saturday we spent getting our hair done and our eyelashes tinted. It was so much fun! Then we were able to meet up with our friend Kelly, who was also in Seattle for the weekend. It was great! We stole Kelly until we were forced to return her the next day. It was so nice for the three of us to spend time together and catch up on things. Then we had another mini-adventure on the way home. Apparently, if you drive back to the Tri-cities from Seattle, you are not suppose to pass Portland, Oregon on the way.....who would've thought? LOL....it was an extra 3 hour drive and very tiring, but we were still able to laugh about it!

Beach House

These are from weekends at the beach house with the kids. We went out on the boat, to the beach, and the pool. It was alot of fun. I have tons of pictures! I can never decide how to narrow them down.
