Pea Planting

It's that time of year again!  Time to plant peas!  I went out to the field this morning and took a few pics of the boss man planting his pea trials.   I think he is trying to convince his boss to get a green tractor. 

Girls day in Seattle

It was time for a little girls day so Jonda, Nicole, and I headed to Seattle...Our day was mostly planned around food.  First stop was in Cle Elum at Owen's Meats for Jerky, then it was the Cle Elum Bakery for Maple Bars, next stop Bellevue at the Cupcake Royale for Cupcakes of course!  Then we headed to Blue C Sushi for lunch and shopped for awhile, then we met Alicia at Bizzaro's Italian restaurant for an amazing pasta dinner!

 Alicia and I at dinner!  Some of you might remember this face, she was in our wedding, only she had black hair. 

Boss turns 31

Brian turns 31 this year!  And since it so happened that his celebration fell on St. Patty's day we decided a green theme was in order! He is not a fan of corned beef and cabbage so we didn't have the traditional meal! 

 The whole party crew! Mom and Dad Faw, Mom and Dad Hunter, Eric, Jolene, Adeliade, LindyJean, Gunnar, Lyndsy, Ashley, Hayden & Payton, Shelley and Jared, and even Cousin Michael!

The kiddos put all the candles on the cake, I dont know that there were 31, but there was alot of them!

 Hayden got to saw the cake with the cake saw until it started to get smooshed...then Brian helped out.

 Opening presents...something funny happened here, I don't remember what!

 I found this sign at the artgarden awhile back!  Had to have it!

Water's a comin'

Spring just might be here.  It's ditch burning season and that means water will be filling the canals in about a week!  I can't wait for green!!!

Activity Czar Day 2

I will give you one guess!!! POTTERY PAINTING!  I know it seems like I go here like once a week!  But it is so much fun, I can't resist!  We decided to meet up with Bitty's friends Payton, Ashley, & Hayden, Jonda and Dane, and even Shelley came by for a visit! Adelaide and LindyJean painted their very own dinner plates.  They were quite upset that we didn't get to take them home with us and it was interesting explaining to Adelaide they have to go in the fire!  

 They were lovin' it!

 Holy Camoly.  Try getting 6 kids and 4 adults to look at the camera. Whoo!  

 This was my goal for the day to make Jolene a platter with the kids hand prints on it!  We succeeded! Even little Gunnar let us paint his hand.  He is such a good sport, he just hung out while we painted and tried to keep the kids from breaking things in Laura's store!

Auntie Staci Activity Czar

Monday, Jolene and Co. came for a visit.  We had lots of activities to keep up occupied.  First we started with lunch and dress up at Ashley and Payton's.

 Then we went home and did a little crafting.  Jolene and I made t-shirt bags!  Great for farmers market trips and boat trips.

 Then we made Boss funfetti cupcakes!  Adelaide and LJ even helped frost!

 Gunnar was a good sport and just hung out through the whole thing!  This was just day one...wait till you see the fun we had on day 2.

More Snow Fun!

With spring right around the corner we have to take advantage of the last bit of snowmobiling.  We went out with Stephanie and James up to the Clockum, which is not far from home and had a great day playing in the snow!  

Brian even let me ride his sled today! He rode an older one, that Stephanie's dad was nice enough to let us take out!

Painting Pottery!

For Trisha's Birthday we went to Moses Lake to eat salmon tacos at Michael's Bistro and paint some pottery at the Art Garden.  It was a wonderful day spent with a wonderful friend!

 I made Ruth an easter egg, I painted a piggy bank, and another easter egg! I was feeling the polka dots apparently!

White Out!

Yesterday morning we woke up to a whiteout.  It hasn't snowed in weeks and wasn't really suppose to....but just overnight it dumped snow!  It was so pretty in the morning!  But by 3 oclock it had all melted away!
