Great Weekend! Great Friends! Great Fun!

 The Burton's Invited us and the Water's up to their cabin

in Soda Springs for Presidents Day Weekend.

We had a great time. Not much snow but we managed to entertain ourselves.

The guys went snowboarding while the girls went out to lunch and did Pedi's.

 Eric and I went for a walk out to Serene Lake. It was 

a beautiful day and the lake was frozen over.

Marlee enjoyed the walk too.

Thanks Burton's for your great hospitality.

We love you guys!

 Seattle/Wenatchee Trip

For Christmas this year I was able to get a great deal on

airline tickets for Eric and I. So Christmas and Valentines

Day were taken care of. First stop Seattle Aquarium with Lane

and Jannica.

 Second stop, Pikes Market

 The disgusting gum wall.

 Ivars for some yummy clam chowder.

 The Harbor cruise  which Eric totally enjoyed.

 The Space Needle we were able to do night and day.

 EMP museum 

 The Museum of Flight was awesome.

 Oh and we ate alot!!!! 

It was a great trip. Thank you for 

chauffeuring us Lane and Jannica.

 Happy Valentines Week

For the past several years I have been wanting to have a Valentines Party.

Well I finally came out of my comfort zone and did it.

I wish I would have taken more pictures.

 The men had a little to much fun putting on their nylons. 

The women had to guess which husbands leg was theirs. Some put a few

candies and carrots in the nylon to try to fool them.

 Here's to a Romantic Week.

Good luck ladies!

While Eric was away on business in Vegas, I decided to do a few

things I had been wanting to do. My friend Shelly gave me these cute

candles for Christmas and I decided to paint palm trees on them.

Then it was on to the bathroom. My house is really turning into my own

personal beach since I can't live near one. It was just my bedroom, but now

the whole house is pretty much beach themed. I am having fun with it though.

Devin has promised me when he is rich he will buy me a beach house.

Eric told me that once too, but I haven't moved into one yet.

Until then I will just have to settle.

It was such a great Christmas Season. I am so sad it is all over, but feel so blessed to be able to have spent such great times with family and friends. We made so many more wonderful memories.
