Girls Weekend!

It wasn't supposed to be a girls weekend, but Jacob came down with a fever Friday night and Rob stayed home with him. The girls and I packed up and headed to the far East of Washington to celebrate my friends 25th wedding anniversary! T and R are about the sweetest couple you would ever meet! They have an unusual courting story which I don't have permission to tell so I won't;)At the party T sang a song to R that he had written. It was beautiful and there wasn't a dry eye in sight! Including yours truly! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY T AND R!!!

Jaelyn trying to hold up the towel on her head. The girl is short, so she couldn't do anything in the pool except walk on the steps in the pool or walk around on the seat of the hot tub. I feel your pain my dear!

Home made Sushi!

The other day when we were at Borders Bookstore(our home away from home), Jocelyn was searching what to buy with her gift card. She received one on her birthday last September, and has been searching for that something special to buy ever since. She came across a Sushi making kit. She was so excited to finally find something.

I was kinda not looking forward to making these things, for fear it wouldn't taste or look like the ones we get at the restaurant. Jocelyn is very sensitive and I was worried that she would be very disappointed. I am so glad she got it. The first ones weren't very pretty, but tasted just like the restaurants:) We made several sushi rolls, using only basic ingredients: cucumbers and carrots. I had planned on putting avocado but it wasn't quite ripe. Rob, the kids, and myself took turns rolling the rice on the little mat. We had a great time doing it and we made pigs of ourselves eating it;) Some rolls turned out worse than others, but they tasted good so we ate them. This picture is some of the better rolled ones.

The family that shoots together stays together:)Sunday after church we headed to the hills near by to go shooting.

You learn at a very early age to plug your ears when dad is shooting.

Parents house

Well its been awhile since I last posted! A few weekend ago the kids and I went to my parents house for a few days. The kids of course had a blast! We brought their bikes and they rode them up and down the street so many times. My parents live on a dead end street with little traffic so it really is a great place to ride. I can't believe we didn't get any pictures of them riding. The other things they did were row around in the dingy. That was a blast to watch and brought back many memories of myself doing the same thing at their age. We also went to the beach again, although we didn't stay long because there was a yellow lab there begging for attention with a very loud bark. It kept barking at us over and over and over again. So we finally gave up and headed back to the house. Of course that was when the dog decided to leave also:)
Dad also took the kids out in the boat to get crab, YUMMY!! The kids love crab. Especially when they help bring it home from the pots.
