A Celebration of Life

Here we are together to give our love to Katherine as we celebrate her late husband's life.  The day was beautiful.  The setting was perfect.  The music was outstanding.  The outpouring of support for this wonderful family was pure love.  Love you Katherine! 



Race for the Cure

We walked for the cure!  Heather hosted Kari, Bethany and I up at the condo in Portland.  We had a wonderful time eating, talking and walking.  In fact, it was up for discussion...did we walk more or talk more over the 24-hour period.  Bethany provided the fun pink accessories and the weather was perfect...blue skies and a hint of fall in the air.  Wonderful and for a cause that is near and dear to all of us.

My first race of 2012; walked with some great friends.

Kari, Paige and Heather.  Lots of pink, lots of smiles and lots of good times!

Zac's First Day of Pre-School at Bear Hugs

Zac started preschool this year at Bear Hugs.  After the first day he complained that he didn't have homework and that the teacher didn't call going outside "recess"...I think he has some very high expectations for his school and I love it!  He is such a big boy.  He enjoys exploring, trying new things and he is happy.  Let's have a great year Zac! 

Zac loved wearing his backpack to school. 

Such a big boy!

Enjoying the blocks!

Audrey!

My great friend Audrey was the last one to turn the 4-0 and she did it up just right.  The OSU girls came over a quick girls-night-out and sleepover.  We went to Kame for some delicious Japanese food and drinks then hit a few more "hot" spots in McMinnville.  Funny part during dinner..Heather grabbed a very large lump of wasabi with her chopsticks and popped it into her mouth...thinking it was an avocado! Needless to say it didn't take very long for her to realize her mistake.  Ouch!  So, at breakfast the next morning, Audrey reenacted Heather's mix-up...with butter!  Ugh! 

Basically, nothing has changed in 20 years of friendship; laughter, goofing off, having fun and being a little bit crazy!
