1st day of school

Paige starting 3rd grade

Riley starting 5th grade...with a goofy smile!

Owen starting Pre-k with me! I'm his teacher.

The crew!

these were to funny not to post...

So I was just taking some pictures then Holland fell...well just look at the pictures. I think they are pretty funny.

Awww there's sister always there to kiss your bobo and give you what you want! Holland was glued to Paige hip this summer. Poor Paige, she would give Holland to me then run to her room just to get a couple of minutes to herself. One time Paige was in the bathroom and Holland was there knocking and knocking on the door saying "Paige, Paige, Paige, Paige". Then Paige says "man I can't get any alone time, not even in here." I was cracking up because its so familiar. I fell for ya Paige!

I know, I know these are really late. I haven't posted anything all summer. Our lap top broke so I couldn't down load any pics. So better late then never! So Riley played baseball this summer, of course! He was pitcher a lot this season. He did really well. We had a number of coach's, parents and umps tell us how good he is. His coach would have him pitch last because Riley didn't get any runs when he pitched. We had someone say "I'll be his agent!" Who knows maybe Riley will play in college and then go on. I love watching him play. That's my favorite part of summer. Owen starts T-ball next year. So we'll see how he does. Can't wait!

The kids did a baseball camp with the Spokane Indians. They had a lot of fun. They were able to run around the bases, hit, throw and got autographs on balls. It was fun to see Owen run around the bases. He's such a fast little guy.

Rachel Ashwell opened a Bed and Breakfast...

I love Rachel Ashwell. I love the coziness, how clean and fresh everything looks, the softness, the elegance, and how peaceful her decor is. I have a ton of things from her line in my house, dresser, lamps, linens, curtains, blankets I even found wrapping paper. Ya I couldn't pass that up! This is her new book coming out soon and I can hardly wait. (above pic)

This one is her latest book. I LOVE IT!!!

Rachel opened a Bed and Breakfast in Texas. Here are a few of the pictures from inside. I'm so excited.

I want those 2 chairs

Notice she has chandeliers everywhere!!! Love that

Doesn't everything look so quite and cozy and relaxing? Looks just like her books. I would love love love to stay there someday. I'll be sure to show this to Adam and maybe it'll be a birthday present someday. :) Hint hint.....wink wink!!!
