Family Fun Day!

 This weekend was unexpectedly filled to the brim with things to do!

Christina had texted me and asked if we wanted to hang out Saturday... Little did I know we'd have a blast all DAY long! 

We started out our morning at the Farmers market at the Des Moines Marina.


We walked, ate yummy FM food, and then headed down to the beach to let the girls play in the tide pools. As you can imagine they don't get to play in the ocean much in Yuma Arizona.


This little one was not scared at ALL to touch everything she could find! I think she'll be a perfect Pacific North westerner.


She's such a Doll!

Baby Harvey slept through the entire day... Mostly :)




After lots of playing we headed to Tacoma for a bite to eat and landed at the Cliff House restaurant. It's BEAUTIFUL! I never even knew it existed! I'm pretty excited to eat there again! Beautiful views, and decent food!





We decided we were celebrating Fathers Day for Gene since he was gone that weekend - so here he is with his family (Harvey still sleeping in his car seat in the corner). Oh and for those of you who don't know the entire family yet... it's Cara, Demitra, Gene, Casey and Christina.


And then, we took this picture to send to Grandma & Grandpa, Me, Demitra, Casey, Cara and baby Harvey (still sleeping in his car seat).



Since it was such a beautiful day - we kept going, and hung out at the LeMay Car Museum!

We had fun picking out our "favorites"


After the museum - it was DQ for blizzards, then to Gene's for some R&R in the back yard.

Looking forward to Friday night when we all get together to eat some indian food before the girls go back to Yuma on Monday.

Looking forward to Cara moving out here for school! We'll get to see each other a lot more often :o)

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

8 Years Ago Today...

 8 Years ago today... I was in the Kent/Des Moines Park and Ride puking in the bushes because I was SO Nervous about my first day at KMS. I didn't know If I could hack it in the big city. I didn't know a thing about being a Receptionist, and I didn't even know what a Broker/Dealer was, but I swallowed the lump in my throat and decided to take it head on. I've learned SO MUCH - an Immeasurable amount of life and work lessons from my 8 years at KMS, and I could muse all day long about the Farm Fresh 22 year old you see to the left and how naive she was. KMS has given me a gift of balancing a work life and a home life and still being able to give my 110% when I'm at work without losing my balance. When I walked in the door this morning, my co-workers had created this celebration from me, and after they arrived, it got bigger with gifts, and notes, and cards, and decorations. They wanted to celebrate me, and my achievements here, though If they would have kn...
