WPS...

Will Post Soon... Life's been busy and the weather's been great so really, who wants to be inside blogging when it's 70 degrees and perfect outside? :) I have a ton of pics to post but it'll be a few days till I get started on them. Hope you had a great Memorial Day Weekend and enjoyed the extra day off, I know I did!

Just Beachy...

A couple Sundays ago Chad, Michelle and I headed to the beach. And because I have such photogenic siblings we did an impromtu photo session amongst the driftwood. We must have looked really funny--three people with big cameras, all taking pictures of eachother. Wish I had a picture of that!

Shout Out to My Peeps...

So today I'd like to give a shout out to the peeps that actually leave me comments. Yes, that would be all six of you! LOL. But really, I'm thankful for your comments cause blogging really is more fun with audience participation. Besides, it's nice knowing I'm not the only one checking my blog, hahaha... And that all the time I spend giving myself new eye wrinkles taking pictures isn't all for naught. So I just wanted to say Thanks!! (And for those of you who check my blog but never say hi, please do, I'd love to hear from you!)

P.S. Husband, where are you when I need you?? :)

Saint Edwards...

The day before Mother's Day my mom, brother, sister and I took Yogi & Parker for a walk at Saint Edwards. It's so rare for my mom to have all three of her kids with her at the same time so I know she enjoyed our walk together. It was such a nice day out. Yogi and Parker were hot from the sun but they still loved every minute of it.

Wandering...

My brother and I were in Seattle after the March of Dimes Walk and figured we'd check out the city. So we walked. And walked. And waaalked. About 7-8 miles(includes MOD Walk). And yes, we're totally crazy. But it was worth it. It's fun hanging out with my brother. He's usually up for anything and he's snap happy like me so we have a good time together. We walked along the Seattle waterfront, checked out Pike Place Market and Pioneer Sqaure (it's a lot older looking in the daytime!) looking for interesting things to shoot at. I'd just been to Pike Place a couple months ago so I was trying to take a closer look this time. Anyway, it was a nice afternoon and I'm glad we got to spend the day together. Love you Brother!






More Seattle...

We were on our way to Pike Place when we wandered into this little outdoor courtyard with a sitting garden and waterfall. It was surprising to see a waterfall in the middle of the city.

March of Dimes Walk...

This Sunday I walked for Team Talan in the March of Dimes-March for Babies Walk in Seattle. This was my first time doing something like this and it was a really positive experience. Thanks so much to those of you who donated to my walk, I really appreciated your support! With your help Team Talan raised over $2500.00 for premature babies everywhere! :) So here is picture overload from our 3.5 mile walk. An estimated 7,000 walkers participated in the event(wow!). Police closed the Alaskan Way Viaduct so we could walk on the freeway and the weather was perfect. My brother Chad is in town right now so he joined us for the walk too. Everyone had a great time walking for the cause and I'm looking forward to participating again next year.

Carrie's Baby Shower...

These pics are from Carrie's baby shower. Carrie and her husband Aaron are expecting their first baby in early June. I'm really excited for them! I've known Carrie since about the 7th grade (maybe even longer? I can't remember!) where we met in ski school. And then Carrie, Tammi, Shannon and myself all lived together during college. I haven't seen Carrie in about two years so it was great catching up with her, seeing her mom and dad again and spending time with my college girls. Carrie and Aaron are waiting to find out the sex of their baby... I don't know how they can do it!

Great Mood...

It's Friday after work and I'm in a GREAT mood for three reasons... One, It's Friday. Needs no further explanation. Two, it's been sunny out the last two days and I'm seriously high on vitamin D and pollen. And three, because I'm really EXCITED people are donating money to my March of Dimes Walk (happening this Sunday!) I logged into my MOD account today and almost cried, I was so excited! So thank you SO MUCH for those of you who've already donated. I really appreciate it! :)

By donating money you're helping me get closer to my goal of raising $200 for the March of Dimes, premature babies and mothers of premie babies everywhere! So far I've raised $145.00, AWESOME!!! But I still haven't hit my goal of $200 yet. And I still need your help! So for those of you who haven't donated but are thinking about it, please do! Every donation helps and there's only one day left before the walk. So just do it, you'll feel really good about it, trust me! :)
And on that note, I hope everyone has a lovely weekend! :)
