Saturday July 5th

FUNLAND PARK--and boy were we having fun until mommy went down the slide and sat in someones coke! Talk about disgusting but trying to stay on the positive side of life--here are the photos!! Since I stayed up until close to 11 pm watching fireworks---I was very bossy and cranky and fought going down for a nap! The afternoon was better and mommy ran to WalMart without me because I did not want to take my new Dora suit off!! We BBQ hotdogs played and made homemade icecream!!!!

ELEFUN GAME!

WHILE we were in Spokane I priced the elefun game for her birthday(October)....It was $24--way to high for a kids game in my pocketbook! So I settled for another very cute elephant game with peanuts that was $13! When we got home that Friday 6/27 our neighbor across the street was
having a yard sale--and had the ELEFUN game--she charged me $2--which I should have offered lower but boy did "G" have a blast with it---well worth the $2.00!

We have not been home since to play with it-ha!!

FOURTH OF JULY!!!

WOW-what a packed full day! We started out at 8:30 am Pancake breakfast in the Park (Stanfield--10 min away) We then watched the parade and cheered on the church float! We stood by Corinne(Mrs. Fun) and Cooper (2yr) Cherilyn and Brooke and Clara all from church! We then went birthday shopping for Cole (our nephew). Bimart and Big 5---Nap at home--then we drove to Walla Walla (one hour) went to Big 5 because they were out in Hermiston and honored our Oregon sale price!! Safeway to pick up whipping cream !! Looked at some propety and on to Papa and Nana's for kabobs and icecream cake!!! YUMMY!!! Fireworks at 8 pm and G rolled down the hill with Aunt Sheila and then daddy played with her!! She was so excited all day and kept asking when is the 4th of July!!

VERY FUN DAY !!!! EXAUSTED ---LEFT WW AT 11 pm--home at midnight!!!!

Tuesday 7/15

SHORT EDITED POST! I posted three very cute smilebox photos(my opinion) (probably Amma and Nana's opinons too)teehhee! They were of Gretchen and my week in Spokane June 23---27th! These were extremely difficult to add for some reason I kept getting error remarks---FINALLY POSTED and ENJOY!!!! The post is under I am still here post!

I AM STILL HERE........

The lack of posts has been due to the fact this week has been BUSY BUSY BUSY!! Nonstop and full of fun and no time to download photos since the 4th of July! I even woke up at 6:15 am Sunday 7/13 just to finish laundry and straighten the house before church! But guess who decided to wake up 30 min after I did---ahhh love that girl!!!! Thought I had at least an hour!!! She took wonderful 1:45 to 2 hour naps this week up until Friday ---downright refused a NAP--so she fell asleep on our errands at 4 pm! I let her sleep while picking up the pizza and home but woke her after 15 min! Saturday we were busy all morning fell asleep at 12:40 on the way home and transferred her to her room and 30 min later woke up with smiles and said I AM DONE TAKING A NAP!! IT WAS A LONG NAP ---UH MOM?? GREAT!!! So guess who I took to the party at two with me---my party girl!!! AND boy did she have FUN!!! I even did--not wanting to take her to a suprise 40th birthday! Daddy stayed home and we were gone until 5:30 pm!!! Ok--I also have to download my photos from Wed to Sat. so I can take MORE PICS! We are leaving tomorrow for Wilsonville for the week (Lee's last training week). Maybe I can catch up while I have Hspeed a the hotel---assuming G takes a nap--she is really funny this week and has started asking when she wakes up WHERE ARE WE GOING TODAY? --Since it was VBS this past week ---

Our Trip to Spokane!!!

Thursday-July 3!

Another back dated post-----Lee took his five hour test in Portland Thursday and thinks he did great! Will not know for sure for a couple weeks. Normal Day for us girls----After he got home we went to McDonalds for dinner and then to the park (RIVER PARK) Our social butterfly went right up to a group of 10-12 yr olds and started spinning like them--and running and then yelling Watch ME Guys!! As Lee and I watched from the bench we were sitting on----------sometimes out going sometimes won't even look at people---go figure! Her personality is so cute!!! Show everyone your cuteness----She wanted to climb this rock wall--so when she got to the top with daddy's help ---Lee had a little girl help her but she started yelling for mom---I had to rescue her--We stayed for a good hour !!
