to the next 10 years!

Eddie and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary on July 17th. We spent a full week together without children, thanks to my mom. It was a fabulous week, and one that was much needed for both of us. We spent most of the time doing whatever we wanted to, where ever we want to be at the moment. The freedom of not having to plan ahead with children. We loved it. We spent a few days camping out on the boat. We anchored off of Hope Island one night and Squaxin Island another. The rest of the time we cruised around the south puget sound area, docking whenever we wanted to go ashore to sightsee. Here are some photos:

Is she really 4?

Leora turned 4 on July 12th!! It feels weird that my youngest is already 4. I guess it's because I expected to have another child younger than her when she reached 4, but obviously that's not in god's plan. Leora only wanted a pink ipod for her birthday. A 4 year old asking for a ipod. Silly girl! Well, luckily her father works for a pawn change, so we went and got her a pink ipod. Leora also wanted to go to the movie theater for her birthday. When given her options she chose to see Wolverine - X men origins. Once again I was surprised by her choice, considering the pool included UP, Ice Age 3, and other kids movies.

No more 30 for me

I was happy to call myself 30, but 31 feels much older. I still want to say I'm 30 years old. For my birthday we went to the zoo, one of my favorite places to be. I love being around the animals. Our zoo is giving camel rides, so I wanted the girls to experience it. Just like I did as a child. I had to work on my birthday of course so we only got to spend the morning together. :( It was great to see my girls ride the camels though! Made my day!
