Stopping to smell the roses :)

She said they smelled lovely!

Me and the D-man!

Me and the Princess!

The flowers there were gorgeous.

We spent 1/2 the day at the waterfront and at Point Defiance Park, we had lunch, found shells and crabs, fed the ducks, went down to the Marina and smelled all the beautiful flowers. It was a really great day.

Dylan feeding the ducks at Point Defiance Park.

Alissa was a little hesitant about the ducks.

The kids by the pond.

Me and Just out after baseball one night :)

Alissa walking Midnight around.

She is so in love with him, she can't get enough of Midnight.

Hugging him :)

Dylan loves him too, he's just not quite sure if he likes riding him yet :)

Alissa, Dylan with Grama Mary and Grampa Art :)

Dylan decided that bubbles should be blown today........

ALissa totally agreed.

Then he thought they should jump on the trampoline.....

again Alissa agreed.

They fully enjoyed the sun today :)

This is us going for a walk, but not just any walk, a tadpole SEARCH walk.

He's such a ham :)

My little Princess.

Heres what we found, not tadpoles yet, but yes, FROG EGGS! We were amazed when we saw this!

So cute!

I had to, I couldn't resist the setting :) I LOVE this picture!

A little blurry but, the trained poodles were Alissa's favorite part of the show.

In between each big act they had 3 smaller acts, this kid could balance really well, Dylan said mommy he gonna fall :)

Trained Siberian Tigers jumping through fire!

The aero-acrobats, very impressive!

Alissa was very bothered by the girls wearing their underwear :) Also she was very worried that they were going to fall :)

This girl was hula-hooping 30 hula hoops, very impressive!

The Elephants, Dylan's favorite part of the whole show!

Cotton Candy, you would think kids including mine would love it but no, Dylan didn't even want to try it :)

She tried it but didn't like it, go figure, I have to flag down a vendor, pay $4.00 for cotton candy and they both didn't like it :)

All of waiting for the circus to begin!

Alissa took her first shower today :) I know that sounds very funny or even late but we've never had her do it and she's never asked. We've always done baths but now shes a Shower Pro :)

I say and do a lot of things I never thought I would but I wouldn't change it for a second. Alissa and Dylan really make you remember and see life with new eyes, patient, forgiving, and young eyes :)
I don't know what I'd do without them.

I loved how they looked out there in the water, so I couldn't resist taking this picture

A view from my scrapping spot :) Yes I was the scrapbooker in the corner, but thats okay.

The house where I and 9 ladies stayed for the weekend to Scrapbook

I had tons of fun wandering outside it was so pretty out on the water.

The weekend was so fun, someone cooking and cleaning for me, no housework, kids, animals, husband to worry about, just me, some girl friends, music and scrapbooking, what more could I want twice a year.

YUMMY Popcorn - what she chose 4 our snack :)

We had popcorn and watched Survivor 4 our mother-daughter special night :)

**Thats what Alissa calls it :)

My youngest brother Will and I doing scrapbooking :)
