A Big Texas Treat..
Thursday was the biggest treat ever for me and my family. Our neighbors from Texas(The Sims) came up to see us and boy was it fantastic. I was jumping out of my skin, tears rolling down my face excited.
Trey, Brooke, Hope and Jace were right next door to us during pilot training. There wasn't a day that went by that we did not play and see them. There were so many cook outs, waterparks in the yards, walks and just plain old hanging out that made the best memories. Brooke had the best smelling laundry on the block and I have finally duplicated her recipe!! The friends we met in Texas even though we were only there a short while are the bestest friends ever. I miss all of them so much it makes my heart ache!
Yesterday in remembrance of the reason we were all brought together we decided to go to the Museum of Flight for the day and then to the Rainforest for lunch. We were so lucky to be able to capture a group photo where we were all looking too!! Yay!!
We love and miss you guys so much!! Never a load of laundry goes in that I don't think of you or a corn caserole shared that your names don't come up!!
Someday we will get back to Texas I promise!!!
The reason for this photo: This is Charles and you may have seen him in the news regarding his mission into space. Right after Justin was accepted into his squadron all those years ago while still working at Vulacan we got to meet and have dinner with Charles. Charles is one of the richest men in the world but he sat next to Justin and I and said "do you know how lucky you are???" and that I would trade all the money in the world to be able to go and do what you are about to do! Those words always stuck with Justin during the good times and the bad and encouraged Justin to always work hard! All those years later Charles made it to space and Justin made it to wings and beyond!!!

Mani..Pedi..
Wednesday afternoon I took Gracelyn with me to get my pedicure for the wedding this weekend. I let her stick her feet in with me during the process. Of course we could not stop there so we got clear glitter sparkles on our toes.
Word of advice... NEVER take a 2 year old to get a pedicure with you. No relaxing was possible and by the end there was a spilled bottle of blue polish across the floor. Fortunately I have been going to the same place for 13 years and they know and love my girls. I am pretty sure anywhere else would have given us the boot for sure!!
Thanks Ling!!!

Ride Em Cowgirl!!
Gracies favorite outfit lately is naked with boots. The other night she pulled out the horse and decided to go for a naked ride. I had to capture these photos. I am sure she will hate me for it when she is older. Just to cute!!
Then there was this moment when she got off the horse and went and got her sisters pink cowgirl hat!
Gracie must know how great Texas was for us and is trying to capture a moment of it! hee hee

Reading Time
Every night the girls and I read and then Mara reads to me. Justin captured these photos the other night. You can see the intensity on Maras little face trying to figure out all the words.

Girls Weekend
Last weekend my girlfriends and I went to Ocean Shores to stay at the Quinalt Beach Resort for Lauras Surprise Bachelorette Party!! We rented a huge suite that looked out over the ocean and whooped it up. There were lots of drinks, gifts, laughter, dancing and of course great friends!!
Thanks girls for such a fun weekend!! It was surely memorable!!
We blind folded laura for the surprise!!
Watch out Quinalt.. here comes trouble!!
The view from our room. It was very stormy but still so pretty!!
Laura and I (you are going to be a beautiful bride!!)
Right before we left to come back home we savored a few moments on the beautiful beach!!

Morning Time
Ever since Mara went back to school Gracelyn and I have been walking the waterfront with my girlfriend Melissa in the mornings. Well last Friday we went by ourselves in the rain and took a break to enjoy the water and throw some rocks. It is so fun to be able to have one on one time with her and to be able to watch her change and grow each day. I am certain she is loving the one on one attention too!! These are quick little moments that I am cherishing before this one is grown up and off at school like her sis!!
