Okay, Okay...

Well, I can't believe it has been that long since my last post.... Oh waite, yes I can!! So sorry!!
Our vacation went well. The kids had a GREAT time, and I am pretty sure the grandparents did too! It was very relaxing, and a lot of fun.
We walked on the beach, during low tide and found all kinds of sea shells... Kaedynce wanted every one of them. We spotted some baby crabs and fish. Even a little flounder. And, when Grandma Pitcher went out on the sand with us, we even found a big live crab. I was bare foot and made the comment to my mom that that rock looked a little different and I was not going to touch it bare foot, so my mom bent down and grabbed it with her finger.... Yep, she even let out a little scream.... Good thing Grant was there to gather the crab and take it to safety!
We had great weather considering the time we were there. The forecast was for rain every day, but the weatherman was wrong (like that ever happens).
I found a bead store there and was able to make a couple different watch bands for my niece, Aurora, for her graduation gift. I also made a band for both Grandmas. Happy Mother's Day!!
Loved that bead store.... but not sure I want to make that drive again just to go there.
We go on vacation again, just our family this time. We leave in a couple weeks. We are going to Steamboat Springs, Colorado. I have never been there.... I have heard it is a nice place and will be nice and warm this time of year. I am anxious for that. The rain, wind, freezing nights and snow have gotten OLD!!!
I have almost half my garden planted. Hard to do between rain storms and demanding children. I have learned it is pointless to try and reason with a three year old... Yet, for some reason, I still try...
Our yard work project that started late last summer is gaining ground!! The deck is almost complete!! Just a few boards, steps, and a railing. Then the fun part: sanding and staining... Any takers?
I have flowers ready to plant in flower beds, not yet made, around the deck and area. Lots of clean up, landscaping, and care still needed in our back yard. I am so anxious for a barbeque with friends and neighbors!
Well, I will try to post pictures before too long from our vacation. No promises....

Sounds like you had a great trip and I'm glad the weather worked out for you. I can't wait to see some pictures.

ps. thanks for the link to your family pics. Very cute! I can't believe how much your kids are growing and changing (especially Gunnar).
