Not another fish picture...Just kidding

I have to share this one.

Tuesday night George, Kona and Mike (George's good friend) went salmon fishing by the ferry in Coupeville.
Mike snagged himself this 40lb King Salmon, plus two other smaller ones.

The funny part to me is that it took 30 minutes to bring it in and when he got close his pole snapped...
so what does my husband do...
he jumped in the water and wrestled it to the shore so his good friend did not lose the catch of his life.
That's my man!

Man's Weekend

George and Kona went to the cabin this weekend.

They had a great time fishing and crabbing.

George was lucky enough to catch himself a salmon.

I am glad he could get away, but even more glad to have him home.

Paisley's Birthday Presents

I know it is still 4 1/2 months away, but I am done with Paisley's birthday presents.
We bought her this very cool doll house complete with all the furniture from Costco.

In addition, she loves to cook...so we purchased this kitchen for her too.
She is going to be in heaven!!!

One thing off of the December list to do.

Splash Park 2011

Last year we were introduced to the splash park in Mt. Vernon. 
We went again Saturday and had so much fun!
The weather was hot and the company was great!

We took Jeneva with us and she was such a big help watching out for Paisley.

We went with Tallie and her grandchildren.  Here is Cadence.

Next to the splash park is a regular park.  The kids just go back and forth all day long.

Fun times!

Dragon Boat

This week the City gave the employees and spouses an opportunity to ride and row with the Dragon Boat Team.
It was a blast.  We had great weather, saw 3 bald eagles, a seal and many boats out for Race Week.
Here are some friends getting ready to go.

Getting ready to board.

Thanks for the picture Lisa!

My arms are still sore, but we had a blast.  It was tons of fun.

Streching before we went out.

Great night with great friends with great fun!

Fun Fun Fun Week!

I had such a fun week.  It was really crazy and I still need more sleep, but fun none the less.
For Kyanne's birthday I bought her concert tickets to New Kids on the Block/Backstreet Boys.
Friday was the concert in Tacoma.  So I took off early and we headed down.
We had a blast!!! 
They really did an amazing concerty.  Non stop through the entire night.

These are not great pictures, but you get the jist.
This is Donny Wahlberg dancing...he still has the "right stuff."

This is how close we were!!!
We were also lucky to have Jennifer and Nerell along with us. 
The four of us had a great dinner in Lynnwood and a great concert.
We didn't get home until about 2 a.m.

This is out of order, but Wednesday we were able as the YW group to go to Ala Spit and make forts and have a BBQ.
I really love my calling!
It was a great night and I work with amazing ladies.

Saturday we were invited over to Tallie's for a playdate.
Tallie also invited Linda and Elizabeth to play too.
They loved her bouncy house.

Tallie also has a little grandaughter named Cadence...she is too cute!

Paisley and Joshua playing in the pool.

Paisley took this of Tallie.
We could not have asked for a better day.
Lots of suns, fun toys to play with, great food and great friends.

While we were playing George was crabbing with some buddies.
They caught their limit each day.

Friday night we made homemade pizza.  Yum!

And then made smores!
She is so excited.

Sunday was church...here is one of the four Spanish dresses I brought her back from Spain.
So cute!

And we had a great dinner outside yet again.
We are so blessed to have such great memories!

First Day of Preschool

Paisley began her first day of preschool today at the Doodlebugs Academy.

I dropped her off and picked her up.  She had a blast.

Here she is in her new first day of preschool outfit.
