I love it when he does this. It’s like he’s blocking out the world!

Antee Sara Visits
Jun 11th, 2009 by leigharev2
What a treat to have Antee Sara road trip down from Seattle to our neck of the woods, before trekking on to San Francisco!
We went to ‘The Fountains’ to shop and walk around. Here is Antee Sara modeling a dress. Note that the store (Anthropologie), wrote her name on the dressing door. Clever!
The boys, hamming for the camera…
The Fountains has an interactive fountain for kids!
I love this shot…
Antee Sara brought her super-cool bike to ride with the boys…
Thanks for Linda’s suggestion, we went to the historic town of Nevada City. It was all decked out with American flags, honoring the Memorial weekend holiday. Apparently, this town totally decks out at Christmas, Victorian style. There were a buunch of lovely Victorian homes throughout.
This store had on display all of the hats worn by American soldiers through history. ‘A’ talked about this display for days after…
Taking a break…
Brother and sister at McCormick and Schmicks…
We miss you already Antee Sara. Move to S.F.!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA JULEE!

Let me know if you have trouble understanding what they say! I asked the boys what they wanted to do and they said "Star Wars!". They came up with the script and plot. 🙂

Jeff and Connie Visit!
May 24th, 2009 by leigharev2
Our friends, Jeff and Connie, were on their way back to Washington from a stay in Texas. They joined us for a night of some fantastic "catch up" time and fun before heading home.
We took them to our favorite Thai restaurant. So good!
Then, after a tour of our church…Frozen Yogurt!!!
Some time in the tub and pool….
After a full night sleep and big breakfast, the Williams headed north toward the coast. It was wonderful to spend time with our friends.
The World’s Biggest Garage Sale
May 24th, 2009 by leigharev2
Our church had "The World’s Biggest Garage Sale". They had it on half of their huge parking lot, and then had the addresses of homes (over 100!) participating, if they wanted to keep the sale at their house. All proceeds go to about 20 non-profit organizations in our county focusing on the low income and homeless. They hope to raise $100,000. Numbers are not in yet, but we are hearing that is was very successful.
A Special Treat
May 24th, 2009 by leigharev2
Some of the women from my Body and Soul exercise class hosted a post-workout birthday celebration for me and one other woman. Sandi, a woman in the class, provided a delicious and delightful breakfast (yougurt, granola, fruit salad, scones, and brownies) set up in the church cafe. It was special and made me feel loved!
Ocean Shores 2009
May 24th, 2009 by leigharev2
This is an annual family tradition for the Carters. We have joined them for the past three years and the Holz’s for the past two. We spent a day driving from California to Washington, then three days at the beach, and another day driving back. Of the three days, only one had decent weather, but we stayed at a place that has an indoor pool, and all the kids had a great time swimming.
For the trip, DH purchased ‘A’ a skateboard and ‘R’ a scooter. It was totally unexpected and they were so excited! Here they are testing them in California…
Post pool, chilling with "Tom and Jerry" Cartoons…
The big dinner out with all three families!
On the day that cooperated, we all took advantage of the weather, and spent it on the beach!
The Mamas…Christine, Me, Lisa
‘R’s collection of shells and my collection of rocks…
There was an old bonfire on the beach and Mason and Scott decided to resurrect it…
So comfy…
Lisa provided snacks and beverages for everyone. Here, the kids have surrouounded the "snack towel"!
Steve and Christine 🙂
Lisa and Vanessa each harvested a single clam. Scott took a pop can and boiled them over the fire! One made it and Steve’s mom was the lucky one to eat it!
‘A’ enjoyed this walking stick so much, he had us bring it home!
Brothers having a good time!
After a hard day of play…
Last day, cold and rainy on the beach…
A professional, harvesting razor clams…
Looking forward to next year!!
