Getting Big!

Two cuties!

Lukes 1st Bath.........

Well, maybe not his first bath, but his first one living with us. Marc and Lacee were here to wash her car, and it was a good time to was the dogs............all three dogs!

My Booth

Lacee took this picture of me so I could send it to the Rachael Ray show......Again, they want me to go on the air, and again I said nope!

Arizona Grandkids School Days

Paige and JJ's first day of school was a complete success..........

Our Personal Painter..........

Lacee was making a few extra bucks by painting the outside of my kitchen! Kurt hates to paint and he used his spare change cash!

Our Abby.......

Great picture, huh. Lacee took it! Thanks Lace

Parting is sweet sorrow..........

So missing you Levi!

Bad idea.......

Well, I did it again! Another horrible idea. There used to be a sign where the guys are standing that said "Carmel Knoll" I am sure it fell over in a wind storm. So, I was waiting patiently for Levi to get here to help find the sign. He couldn't climb up the side of the hill (it was straight up), so Grandpa and Levi walked from our back yard to where the sign wasn't! They were exhausted, beat up, and sweaty. I felt so bad...... :o(

Beach Day.........

Levi and I took a leisurely ride back from McMinnville after he spent the night with a friend. Our last stop was the beach in Lincoln City. He had a wonderful time, and I enjoyed watching him.

Meyer Lemon Tree

I am really excited about this plant. I need to update it, cause the lemons are getting bigger. My bedroom gets sun for the most part of the day and the tree is happy, happy.

Xtreme Embroidery

Marc's name looks good in print!

Long Days.........

What an angel!

Hydrangeas.........

These just speak for themselves!

3 times is a charm.........

Luckily, the family didn't mind trying my cobbler mix over and over again....Finally after three attempts, we have a winner!

Guard Dog....

Abby goes absolutely nuts over this lawn mower......Its crazy!

Faja's Doghouse.....

Although Faja never went in her dog house, it now has a new purpose. Kurt houses the lawn mower in there. Thats also the new entrance to my certified kitchen!

More of those sunsets.......

You know you would think that there is an amazing sunset every night. Not true. Today this one was so PINK....

Work and Play

Levi helped his Grandpa with all the chores. At the Farmer's Market, he ate and ate and ate. When we got bored, Uncle Marc tied him up and he hopped up and down the tents. He was so good. He never complained, and the market hours are long. Hope he comes back to help next year.

Levi with the Fishes!

We had a great day at the Aquarium........

Levi Helping and Having Fun.....

Good Morning Levi.......

I couldn't get to the phone camera quick enough to capture Luke ON Levi's bed, but I was quick enough to get Abby. The dogs woke Levi most of the time!

Rain....Who Cares

Kurt added an extension to our back deck. He used the material that was the deck off the sewing room. Now all the BBQ equipment is on the step down. We only had to buy one post. It was an amazing "fit". So in these pictures, he made an umbrella stand so we can BBQ in the rain...........

ALL DONE..................

Imagine you HAVE to work in this amazing space overlooking the ever-changing Pacific Ocean. I am very lucky, and truly blessed.

Carter and Casey.......

Corey sent me a picture of the kids the other day. I am totally blown away at how grown-up these kids have become. Life passes you by in a heartbeat. Enjoy every day!

Flooring...........

The inspector said the floor needed to be light, so we chose this "marble look" of white and gray. Its peel and stick, and as usual Kurt did an amazing job. We also had to have a triple sink, and a separate sink for hand-washing.
