Anna and Mommy

Wow....a picture with Mommy, Or "Mom" as she calls me now. When did that happen? I really liked being called Mommy and Mama....I'm going to miss that :0( She's growing up too quick! I can see why people have more than one child, but whew....I don't think I have what it takes to raise more than one at a time. I will just cherish every little minute with her....well maybe not every minute....tee hee, but most for sure! :0) 

Dad and Anna

Happy Day! We have been able to grab daddy twice in one week for some family time! We went down to Finch Arboretum to collect our leaves....we almost ran out of daylight. 

The leaf book

Need you ask?....of course this was made with my Stampin' Up! products. Isn't it cute!?

Collecting leaves

Anna is pretty proud of her leaf book. The other day she asked if I would make her a leaf collecting book. Well, duh.....ask me to make something and I'm all over it! She was so cute when she asked. 

Taking Daddy to Greenbluff

Anna and I thought we would try going to Greenbluff one more time....after a not-so-fun trip last week. This time we took our secret weapon....DADDY!, and made sure we went first thing in the morning while Anna was nice and refreshed. We picked out a couple BIG pumpkins this time and Anna got to take a nice ride in the pumpkin-cart. The weather was amazing and it was great to spend some time as a family. 

Punkin Chunkin!

This is the pumpkin launcher at Knapp's at Greenbluff. If you look closely you can see the pumpkin at the edge of the hay that was launched out of the cannon. I was surprised I actually captured a picture, because I had a hard time finding the pumpkin while looking in the camera. 

Look at her go!

It was hard to keep up with her to get a picture, but AHA!....I got one! She loved running through the hay maze at Knapp's at Greenbluff this weekend.

Greenbluff


Could not have picked a better day for finding a pumpkin.....weather-wise that is. Anna's mood on the other hand was a different story.....boy was she owly! This was one of few pictures where she wasn't pouting or all out throwing a fit. All was not lost though....we did find some good pumpkins, she got to ride in the wheelbarrow and managed to get dirt all over her. All in all a successful trip to Greenbluff! We went to Knapp's this year (on the west loop) and thought it was GREAT place! I want to do back when Anna is more pleasant. :0) 

Finding the perfect one

Anna and the funny looking pumpkins...

"What's wrong with these pumpkins mommy?"

She takes after her mommy!....We love pumpkins!

This picture was taken last Oct., but I had to share it. And, of course, that is a Stampin' Up! stamp that was used on the frame. 

Wahoo! Its finally happened!....I am a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator!

Yippee! I have wanted to join Stampin' Up! for awhile now, and its finally happened. I am so excited to be a part of their company and to start having workshops and parties with all of you. And, its just in time for the upcoming holidays! Fun!

Anna and the Lion

Anna was catching a ride on this Lion. Actually, she said she really wanted to "give this lion some love" and gave it hugs and kisses before we could see the real zoo animals.

Woodland Park Zoo


Flamingos are the new attraction at the zoo......I think they were all closing their eyes and pretending they were somewhere else. 

Enjoying some fantastic September weather!

This is one of Anna's favorite things......"Let's swing mommy"....and by that she means, push me on the swing for at least 45 minutes. 

Life at Haystack

                                                                                       












This is one of our favorite places.....Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach.

Future Gardener


Here is Anna's Zinnia garden. She is pretty proud of her crop. She will tell you that this is "my flower garden". Picture taken late August 2008 

Jack and the Beanstalk

This vine just keeps going and going! I planted morning glory seeds in late June, and by late July this is what happened. Strange thing is, I have planted morning glory before and it bloomed like crazy.....this year, no blooms but BIG plant. 

Finger Licken' Good!

End of August 2008
Its hard to believe summer is at its end. Anna is getting in some berry picking at Gma and Gpa's. Is there a rule that you can't eat what you pick?
