Some people are just way to creative!


I saw this on a friend's blog. She made them up for a graduation party! Every part of it is edible. I thought they were so fun so I had to share.

Grandpa Glen


Today is my Grandpa Glen's birthday he is 82. He is a great guy and famous for always having a treat when we come to visit. He has a fridge in the garage that he keeps filled with sodas. He is an amazing person when it comes to building things with wood. He made all of the grandkids their fair share of doll houses, barns, rocking horses, cradles, and when I was really young my own play house. He made all of the furniture to go with it and i loved to play in it for hours. He has always been very hard working owning his own farm and the duties that come with it. I am so grateful for the way he raised my dad and the work ethic he showed to his children. He is a great man and I am happy to have him as my grandpa!

Anyone want to tiptoe through the tulips?













I have always loved flowers and I think alot of it comes from amazing grandparents with green thumbs! I have wanted to go to this tulip festival for quite awhile. This was there last week so on my day off me and Trish went. It was breath taking and I was wishing that my grandma could have gone with me. She would have been in heaven! I have never seen so many rows of tulips. They have 40 acres! We of course had to try out all the cutouts they had. It was a great day and the weather cooperated which we were glad. It threatened to rain the whole time but we made it without a drop. I am already excited to go back next year!

Seattle temple








We went up to see the temple which was beautiful. It had so many different kinds of flowers I couldn't stop taking pictures! They had a little walk way that had benches and that is where I am sitting. Lisa wanted to join in on the ring around the rosie with the statues! It was a wonderful trip and I look forward to going back again soon! Thanks for having me Lisa:)

Seattle!











We had a great day on Saturday seeing a bunch of things. We went on a ferry and then we were going to go to Pike's market but it was so crowded that I got out of the car and went into the market while Lisa sat in line to turn. I bought these beautiful flowers for 10 dollars! I got back to the car only to find that Lisa had moved 2 car lengths it was crazy busy! We went to this place called the Hiram M. Chitterden Locks and it was really fun to watch. The boats that go out to the ocean have to go through this area that fills up with water to let them in the harbor and lowers them to go out to sea. We got there right when they were ready to go out! It was so pretty and green and tons of flowers. My allergies never appreciate the beauty but I sure did. I have a picture on here of the ivy growing down on the overpasses. I thought that it was really neat to see. I also put a picture of the space needle at sunset in the city. Sorry that you cant see some of the pictures very well. I need my friend Kim to show me how to make pictures bigger!

Helping Lisa move




I went up to Seattle to help my sister Lisa move this last weekend. She had already done a lot of the moving we just had a couple more loads to take. I was joking with her about just putting the christmas wreath on her head to carry it. Well it slid down around her neck and then it wasn't very fun to get off. Sorry lee:( We went shopping for a few things she would need around the house and we found this vacuum for cheap. After we put it together we could see why! Just kidding it does get taller but we were worried for a minute:)
