Mom, there's no way it's going to fit!

Peyton did a 2 night backpacking trip this summer on the Olympic Peninsula.  She had to pack all her stuff into camp (sleeping bag, sleeping pad, clothes, food, tent).  She did great, but isn't sure she wants to go again. This was her trying to fit everything on the list into her pack :-)

LAX Camp!

Bella spent 2 nights in the dorms this summer.  Chris and I both had a moment when we left her there.

She had a great buddy to bunk with.

Schools Out!

Schools out treat night.  AKA Desert for Dinner.  

Peyton must not have wanted her pic taken...but she was there.

The Road to Wenatchee...

Bella and I started out the weekend just the two of us....

Lots of snuggles and some long walks...

then we hiked!

Notice that there are only 2 going up the big hill :-)

Happy Easter

Happy Happy!!!

Another year down! With success!  The girls can take 100% credit for this fabulous cake this year.  While I was making porcupine meatballs they cooked, stacked, frosted and candled the cake. Pretty impressive results!

Peytonisms....

She's a very funny kid.  I claim her as mine.  Sarcasm and all - she gets it from me after all!

"What...Timbuktu was full? So you had to park further away?"  Said as she jumps in the truck in a pouring rain storm!

Yep...she's mine!  And for the record. I was parked within 2 spots of normal.
