Lexy made the Varsity Tennis team!!! I will post pictures as soon I get some good shots. Can you believe she is going to be 16 in a few weeks!? I can't! I will have to get out some old photos and scan them to post. Oh she will love me for that.

Play Dough

Riley got the biggest play dough kit in the world. I have to say I love to play with it as much as her. She asked me to make a Sophie and I did.

COTTON CANDY

A day in Seattle

The girls had fun scarfing down as much sugar as possible. Sugar high!

White Christmas

---------

Looking out my kitchen window

Christmas morning, Riley got up in the morning, went to the kitchen, paid no attention to the tree, it took her 20 minutes before she notice Santa had dropped of presents in the night. I didn't have any gifts under the tree until Christmas morning, because Riley loves to unwrap presents. All morning she kept saying "for me" & "check this out". It was great fun!

SNOW DAY

No she didn't fall, she was trying to eat the snow. Riley loved to eat snow, and I kept telling her to only eat the new pretty white snow, but she still ate the snow that everyone walked all over, and the dirty snow on the car & in the driveway. But she never tried to eat the yellow snow left behind from Sophie.... and David, but that's just what boys do I guess.

Snow Angel

The Three of us

YYY

Just some family time! It is hard to believe Lexy is almost 16, and Riley is 3 and I'm... well that doesn't matter. Time flies!

Me and my Girls

Squishy Face girl... making time go by as we wait for the ferry.

Weekend in Seattle

Lexy side saddle on the Pike Pig

The Market is always so crowded, but in the winter, it was open and easy to wander about.

Lexy, Grandma, Me & Riley

Watching it "fake" snow inside the Mall, only to go outside and have it snowing for real. All the Christmas lights, and Christmas Cheer in Seattle and then to have it snow... pure magic in my eyes. Absolutely Beautiful, I love this city!

The Stroller pout

Too funny, Riley couldn't put her arms down in this coat, I had her bundled up, just like Ralphie's Mom. (one of our favorite movies)

A group of men walked by, pointing at Riley saying "She is straight out pimpin' in her fur coat"

Island Medical Spa

(Kelsey, Me, Andie, Meghan, Kristy, Farrah, & Ludmila)

My Spa co-workers along with 2 friends that showed up for our Meet & Greet Party)

My new job (I've been here for over 5 months), It is great working in a spa...free treatments!!! Facials, massages, skin resurfacing, Laser hair removal, IPL, Botox, Fillers, and much more. Fun stuff! Maybe now I'll have that perfect skin I've always wanted!

Pepe Sitting Pepe is one of my friends dogs, every now and again he needs to be puppy sat, and we are quick volunteers. (because he's so darn cute) Riley adores him, but the feeling isn't 100% mutual. He tolerates her, and likes her when she has food or he wants a warm lap & fuzzy blanket to sit in. But that's a dog for ya.

Darth Snow White

This is an older Picture, (well I guess the crib kind of gives that away) Riley loves to dress up, and for some reason really likes the Darth Vader mask, the mask also has a voice changer in it. It's pretty funny to her a little girlie Darth Vader voice. And like most little girls, she loves dresses, Disney Princesses are the favorites, but will wear any dress if it sparkles!

~Sorry it took so long to post, I have been working a ton and don't have any desire to sit in front of my computer at home. (I sit in front of one, 40 hours a week... going blind!!)~ Also, my camera disappeared, and when it reappeared it wasn't working = ( So once again you get to look at blurry cell phone pictures. I guess it's better then nothing. ?right?

MY GIRLS

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Here is a little Gnome I painted on Abby's bedroom wall. (Abby is my girlfriends 5 year old daughter who loves gnomes and Fairies) I will be spending a few more nights there to paint a female gnome, couple Fairies and a giant red mushroom.

BUSY SUMMER!

Summer has been super busy, I started a new job, working in a spa, but am still making coffee a few days a week. Riley got to go camping a few times this summer, go to Oregon, Seattle, the Zoo, aquarium, a couple local Fairs, and much more. Lexy also had a busy summer, doing pretty much the same thing, she went camping multiply times with family and friends, inter-toobing, water skiing, and just hanging with friends.

So please enjoy a few of our pictures I have added, now that School is back in session we can get back into a schedule routine.

Dinner with Papa

-

Now, Riley eat your dinner, or else Buddy is going to eat it....

.....Buddy is laying under the table next to Riley's chair eating everything that fall off her plate. That's the one handy thing about dogs, they clean up all dropped food.

Sophie, ready, set, attack!!!!!!

TOTAL RED NECK

.............................................

It's obvious that Riley has been spending a lot of time with her Grandpa.

*it is only a toy gun

Thanks for your prayers

David is now home and is recovering quite well. He is able to eat whatever he wants, and just has to take it easy (that means playing lots of video games), soon they will remove his 22 staples from his stomach. Another scar to add to his chest. (he thinks its kind of cool)
