Prom 2009!

Levi went to prom with Riley. They have been friends since the Ebenezer days. She looked beautiful in blue and he was just plain handsome. I had a photo shoot in Semiahmoo so I rushed home just in time to snap a few photo's of them at the neighbors pond. They where a cute group of kids and even tho I did'nt get much info out of our boy I think they had a great time!





This is the last photo I snapped as Levi seemed to be running from me and my camera!

Thanks for stopping by!

Spring YEA!

On a monday when the laundry is piling up and photo's need editing I am laying in the grass with my camera. I know these are dandelions and IF you have a lawn...you mostly despise them. But who can deny their sunshine color with the blue of the sky. They scream SRPING! Everyone's monday was great yesterday just because the sun was out. We really need it. I will do all those chores when it rains...tomorrow:(




Busted! Bill thought was I passed out on the hill when he can home. No worries...dinner is in the oven.

Stock Photography

Awhile back we took these pictures in our backyard. Right before we were going to eat the dinner on the table. The light was dusk and that is a magic time for a photographer. Anyway I decided to try selling them through fotolia. Online stock photography sales. I am blown away that the two photo's have sold in all about 80 times. Now granted I get 1$ per sale. So I am not raking it in by no means. But it is international and once they said it sold to a Bed and Breakfast in Italy! That's cool. I am not devoting a lot of time to stock photography because I am busy taking pictures with my SNAPsister. Just thought I'd share that-Thanks for stopping by!

Design on a dime Hana...

Just one more thing you needed to see out of our parents basement. Hana is constantly changing her room. I remember doing that as a kid too. She adopted this old dresser. I walked past her room today and I loved what she has done with it. Granted it needs a paint job, new handles and a mirror. But she dressed it up cute. Charlie decided to sit for a portrait as well. Not a great pic but I only used the light that was there.

Happy Birthday Billie!

April 15th comes every year and with it brings Bill's birthday. Tax day-that's why my parents named me Bill-that gets a laugh every time Bill says it. I set out to buy a political card for him because he is passionate about this great country of ours. I thought he would get a kick out of President Obama card. So I went to the first card store only to find they only carry former President Bush cards there. Ok...why? He is not the President anymore and I think it is time to move on. Only fair right? So I bought the President Bush card because I had no other great ideas and It was funny as well. BUT when I got to the grocery store I found a President Obama card. Inside it reads "I had just enough CHANGE to buy you this card" PERFECT! I could not throw away a perfectly good card so I gave him both cards and no gift:)

For some reason the one has a funny spinning head and the other one does not:(

Bill had a great day! He went to lunch with Fred, he had tea with a whole lot of people and dinner at Pad thai with me!

Happy Easter!

Here on the hill we ordered a cookie bouquet from our family in Enumclaw. It came yesterday and I think it is so cute. They are raising money for thier Relay for Life team called "Amazing Grace" It is in honor of my husbands grandma. She passed away from cancer when Hana was about 2 years old. She really was amazing. She would put care packages in our car when we came to visit. She loved to shop and she had a room upstairs called "fantasy land" Most of all she loved to buy things for her family.
She would supply us with jammies, winter coats and blankets. Having three children we really needed these things. When Hana was born she came to Lynden with a pile of dresses. Hana was her first great grand daughter. Now we are heading to Enumclaw tomorrow for Easter. The number of great grandkids has seriously grown. They count all the eggs they are hiding and then after the hunt they make sure every one gets found! It's fun!
They MIGHT do cookie bouquets for Mothers Day. If you are interested..leave a comment:)
Have a blessed Easter!





Homemade dough and frosting...they taste amazing too!

Charlie gets a makeover!

Charlie was beginning to look like he was a puppy mill rescue. SO today Hana and I bought him to the groomer at Kulshan Veterinary Hospital today. They did a bang up job-its almost like getting a new dog! The groomer there loved him-she said he was the best dog she had today.
CHARLIE BEFORE

CHARLIE AFTER


Charlie deserves a treat don't you think?

Danger!

With summer comes the trills and spills of longboarding. And like I said we live on a hill. After a couple times of hiking back up they decided to have Levi taxi them. If you are a reader of this blog and your child was involved...It is "play at your own risk" in the country!

Saturday stuff...

Today we cleaned out the parents basement. Because you have to start somewhere. We (my sibs) had been storing things there for years. I found these treasures (they still have dust on them) LOVE the cake stand.

Time to put the patio furniture out. Nice weather is coming our way. I can't wait to eat dinner on the deck. The yard is all mud here so the patio is they only place to be.

My succulents survived the move and the winter. They thrive on a lack of attention. That works.


One last thing...I bought this orchid at Costco. I don't know why, it was one of the last ones and really did not look that good. But it spoke to me...buy me! What was I thinking. I don't know what I am doing and it will probably die. Any advice?
