Spring Break, Gone!

Spring Break has come and gone and we have been thrown back into our regular routine once again. We went to the Seattle area for spring break. We all had a GREAT time visiting Dan's parents. We, I mean I had a great time shopping. Dan was just happy to be in good company. Marissa enjoyed being spoiled again and again by her grandparents. Dan was so happy to finally make it up there to go fishing and when Don and Dan finally put the boat in the water the stirring cable went out!! Dan was pretty upset about it, there's always next time!

On the way home we went and spent the night in Leavenworth and went into Wenatchee to have lunch with old friends. We had a great time at lunch, it was so fun to go down memory lane. Many things have changed since the last time I was in Wenatchee. Wenatchee will always stay close to my heart with unforgettable memories not far behind! We had alot of fun showing Marissa the house were I lived, where I went to school, our first apartment (what were we thinking??), and the place where we got married. I wished we had made our trip a little later so we could have seen the apple blossoms in Wenatchee. I think that's the best time of the year when everything is in bloom! .....I have some pics I will post, soon!!

This week has been very busy for all of us. The weather has been crazy! It was nice on Monday and then snowed...ALOT on Tuesday and Wednesday, Thursday it was nice and now today the wind has been blowing none stop. Did I mention all the snow melted? Yeah, weird weather!!!Dan's back at work, working seven night shifts, yuck! Marissa has been busy keeping up with the extended day light and all her new toys she got at her grandparents house in Washington! I've been very busy at work this week planning graduation and our Dad's night that we held last night. Classes start again on Monday and I will be starting a new class this next weekend. Couldn't they have started it on a different weekend? Hello, it's Easter weekend!!! The last thing I want to worry about is dreaded homework!

Happy Birthday Marissa!!!

Today Marissa turned nine, Wow!! I can't believe it! We celebrated by having a BBQ last night and having a sleep over. Marissa had nine girls spend the night, yes! nine!! The weather was so nice yesterday we did everything outside.
Marissa's ninth birthday party will go down in one of the most unforgettable moments in my life! While playing games in the back yard we noticed smoke rolling over the roof. We all thought our house was on fire, it really looked like it too!!! To make a long story short it was all due to our pellet stove,there was no fire! Thank God!! It still shook everyone up!! I panicked at the moment of chaos and started screaming "Call the fire detector, Call the fire detector!" Okay, so I meant "Call the fire department" But, at the time I could not think straight! There was so many things going through my mind in the few seconds of chaos! Now, my words will be the talk of future Thanksgiving dinners, forever!!! We still had a great time though!! We were all tired today, it was a long night! We took the girls swimming after cake and ice cream and then come back to the house where the girls were up watching movies and playing games into the early morning hours. I have some cute pictures of the cake I made and of the party that I will post soon!!!

Spring break starts on Friday, Yay!!! We are going to go to Seattle, I can't wait!!!

Is it Spring?

It was so nice here today, it was like spring!! Is it spring?? I'm not holding my breathe!! It was 59 degrees, Whaoo....We're having a heat wave!!!!! This weekend it's suppose to be 69 degrees!!! Sunday is day light savings, wow! Already??

We enjoyed the evening by going on a walk around the block, it was so nice!!!

Daddy's Cute!!

Marissa said the cutest thing tonight! I was getting on my computer and my screen saver has a picture of Dan on it, Marissa was walking by and I said "isn't daddy so cute!" Marissa turned to me and said "Yeah, that's why he's my daddy!!" I thought it was so cute!! I guess she's right, in a way! He is so cute!!!

I'm Back!!

I'm back from Reno!! We all had a great time!! We all have some funny stories to last us until next year. I'm excited to go back to work and test all the wonderful new things I learned while I was at the conference. It was a nice break from everything, I sure did miss Dan and Marissa while I was gone though!

Marissa's birthday is this weekend! I'm trying to get everything ready for it. She is going to have a sleep over that night with her friends. She also wants to have a BBQ and I actually think the weather is going to agree with us this year, it's suppose to be 65 degrees on Saturday, Sweet!!! It has snowed here all weekend long, I hope it's the last of it.....I think mother nature didn't get the message from the silly groung hog that it was going to be an early spring!!

I can't wait to bust out my new Doc Martin sandals, whoa-who!!!!
