August Vacation

We spent a week up in Shelton, WA with my family. It was a long drive but we made

it! The weather was nice and cool, the kids rode bikes and spent some fun time with

their cousins. I am going to try and post some pictures to go along with this post.

Hopefully, I can figure out how to do that. In the above picture we have Stephanie,

Angela, Dad, Mom, Diana, LeAnne and Brandon. All the family...how sweet!

Starting Something New

So I have been thinking for awhile of starting a blog, so now is as good of a time as any. Thanks to Teresa for helping me out with the name. I really liked her suggestions. So since I am so new at this, I probably won't get to updating every day, but I will do my best.
