Flower World

I am planning on starting a garden this year on the side of our house. Originally there were a bunch of out of control bushes growing there so I have been removing them every few weeks to make room for a veggie garden. I thought that it would be fun to teach Ethan about veggies and growing our own. We went to Flower World in Maltby to buy the seeds. If you have never been there it is a great adventure since they have animals, a lot of water fountains, and a bunch of little trails to venture around. For any of you that are looking to buy flowers in the near future I highly recommend going here. They have everything.

Here are a few pictures that I snapped up. Enjoy!

Sunny day in Edmonds...

This past Saturday we had extremely good weather. It was sunny and upper sixties so we decided to head to Edmonds to do some shopping. I had some wine I needed to pick up so I thought that it was a great excuse to go. We had a great time wandering around the downtown area, had lunch at Olive's Wine Bar, and went to the wine shop to get my favorite Pinot Noir.

After shopping and lunch Ethan wanted to go to the water so we walked down and played on the beach. Ethan go to enjoy his favorite beach activity, rock throwing. I hope that we have even more of these sunny days in the coming weeks.

Sunriver, Oregon - Mt. Bachelor Trip

As a present to my dad for his 70th birthday I took him on a four day road trip to Sunriver, Oregon to go skiing at Mt. Bachelor. We stayed in a fantastic condo that was located at the Sunriver Resort, specifically Wildflower #17. I did not know what to expect when we arrived at the condo but it was great. We had a great time skiing, going to the High Desert Museum, and hanging out in the town of Bend. I will definitely be coming back to stay at the Sunriver resort again in the future. I would suggest visiting in the Summer since it looked like they had a ton of stuff to do this time of year.


Here are some photo's of the condo we stayed at. It was four stories, had two bedrooms, two baths, two fireplaces, and two decks and overlooked the golf course.

Here are the photo's from the High Desert Museum in Bend, Oregon.

Jeff and Ethan were happy for me to get back home. Both of them were sick the whole time I was gone so they were very happy to have me back.

The first of many school pictures...

Several weeks ago we got a notice that Ethan's daycare was going to have a picture day. It completely escaped our minds until we got an envelope in his cubby full of assorted pictures. Of course we had to purchase them after seeing the final results so if any of you grandparents reading this want one, just let us know. There are a couple of different shots to choose from.
