3 Years of Bliss

James and I celebrated our 3rd Anniversary with dinner and a movie. James took me to the Monterosso's Italian restaurant in Richland. It was such a romantic quit place. A place were you can hear your lover whisper sweetness into your ear while taking in the formal dinning atmosphere. We ended the night curled up on the couch watching a movie. This next year we plan to take a honeymoon vacation. ...can't wait to see my sister in Hawaii.

Yard Makeover

This is what the kids and I did early morning while daddy was at the store picking up materials to fix two of our sprinklers and trim our enormous blue spruce.

This Blue Spruce is so large that the back side from about 6ft down is all dead branches. It takes up a good chunk of the yard too. So here is what we plan.

First, James cut down all those dead branches.

Now I have this huge pile of branches..lol, but those will be towed away to the dump soon. James has planned to build a bench that circles around the base of the tree. We will be planting grass where all those branches are and up to the tree trunk. I guess grass can grow under Blue Spruce pine trees cause there are many in our neighborhood with grass all the way up to the base of the tree. Ah, it will be very beautiful when it's all done.

Fair 2009

We rode lots of rides. Weston even got to ride the big Ring of Fire roller coaster with dad. He's tall for his age, thanks to dad. He was the only "little kid" hopping on that ride. It's terrifying for me to ride at 30 years of age! I guess I'm just a whimp.

We entered the goat milking contest...

Feed the sheep...

Jumped high into the air...

And brought home souvenirs with lots of awesome memories.
