Anacortes Arts Festival

Last weekend was the Anacortes Arts Festival. We took full advantage of all the downtown festivities. We had breakfast with friends ( Kody & Kale) ran into our favorite Anacortes family The Swapps and played in the sand box, got faces painted you name it we did it.
Day two of the festival we had two new babysitters Sally & Allison ( Mt. Erie Elementary School's finest) babysit for us while the parents had a little fun!

All in all it was a good time.

It's Only wednesday

So I have been on vacation since Sunday and it has been GREAT. Already we have done a lot.
Josh has started to brew some beer ( more on that later) but it should be ready by the end of August.
The kids got new flip flops, made a trip to Grandma Laurie's over the hills and just about 1 mile from the sun I am sure. While we were in Richland we hit up a few of the parks and found ourselves going back to the park with the kiddo wading pool. Nice job Richland Parks & Rec Department, super impressed with the wading pool and the park swings. Took my mother in law and sis in law to a few wineries in Benton City. Ok it was more like they took me, either way it was a good time and I walked away with a case of wine:)
What else have I done, oh yeah took the kids to get ice cream, because when it is still in the 90's at night time we all needed ice cream.

Also I am proud to say that I have grown my first tomato and today Grace and I put on our garden gloves and tour that tomato off the vine.

The best part of this vacation has really been spending the time with the kids and Josh and have I mentioned it's only WEDNESDAY!

Art Dash 2010

Today was the 5th Annual Art Dash put on by yours truly. It does not get more Parks & Rec then in picture # 4 of me. So many things going on there from khaki shorts, ankle socks, lanyard with a whistle on it and every key to the cities gyms around my neck, my pockets bulging with a 1990 Nextel and of course a clip board in hand. All this is besides my point of this post.

Today was the Art Dash and Josh, the kids, Shaun Sleeper and his friend Tyler all ran the dash together. They ran the 10k. Josh was AMAZING. People he pushed a double stroller ( Grace weighs 42lbs and Emmit is at least 31lbs). I was impressed with their efforts and even more happy to see that they took pictures of each other running. I wonder where Josh gets that from...

Art Dash was a success. 397 people participated in todays race. Last year we had 188. I think the word is out this is a fast course.

Thanks to all that participated it was a fun day and totally worth all the over time I earned today:)

Just Like I taught You

CLeaning the floor with no pants on. That a boy!

Not Two But Three Pig Tails Today

Thank You Grace for making me smile each day.

Our friends Lake House

Nothing beats the summer heat like going to our friends lake house. When you tell the Johnston's that your house is open anytime for swims we show up!
Thank you Moore family for allowing the whole family to enjoy a day at the lake house.
Hopefully next time the Moore family will be there!
