This Weekend

Dakota came down for the weekend and we all had a great visit with him.  Ernie had the day off on Friday and I was very greatful to him for driving to Ellensburg (2.5 hours away) to pick up Dakota for me. 

Friday night Dakota and I went by ourselves to dinner at one of the Mexican resturants in town to celebrate his 16th birthday (which was 3/28/11)!  It was fun with just the two of us and gave us a great chance to visit.

Saturday morning Dakota did a great job cleaning out my Van while the rest of us worked in the yard getting the garden going for the year and moving the strawberry bed.  Now everytime I climb into my car I think of Dakota because it looks so great!  The afternoon was spent at my Mom & Dad's playing cards and hanging out. 

Saturday night we watched "The Social Network", and while I liked the content of the movie and found it informational, I didn't like how it kept going back and forth in time.  That was confusing.

Sunday was a drive with Mom and me taking Dakota back to Ellensburg.  The visit was well worth the drive!!!

Our Florida Trip

Image
Ernie and I had a great trip to Florida in June.  The visit was to see Ernie's Grandma, enjoy the beach and to celebrate our 10th anniversary. I love to take pictures of all the wildlife and flowers so there is a lot of those.  :) This was the smallest, cutest lizard that I have seen. Ernie and his Grammie At the beach! Ernie with his sister, Kate.  Plus Paul, her husband. We had a great dinner at a resturant named Mulligan's the night before we left to get my Ahi Tuna fix and celebrate our anniversary.  It was great food and we had a wonderful time, other than I got eaten alive by bugs!  We just loved the sign there. On the plane in Orlando heading home. On the plane coming into Portland.  The three mountains are Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Adams, and Mt. Rainer.  On the other side of the plane we went by Mt. Hood, it was so close that it looked like you could reach out and touch it.  Next time I fly this route I will know what sid...

Fireworks on the 4th of July

Image
They did our fireworks from a new location this year in Hermiston.  It was wonderful, they shot them off the top of the butte here and town, which made them way above our heads. So I had to by a new camera this spring, so I took a bunch of pictures of the fireworks to try out the "fireworks" selection.  Below are a few of the best. Then of course we had to go home and William (8 years old) had some of his own to light.  It was a fun night and I made it to bed at midnight.  William asked if he could stay up until midnight 30, so after hearing that cute request I had to say yes. :)

Patrick's Graduation

We all had a great time on our trip to Patrick's graduation!  Here we all are at dinner before the ceremony Patrick right before he put on his gown! Patrick during the ceremony Pictures of the family from afterwards.  Ernie and Vance aren't in any of these because they had to drive all the way back home so that Ernie could work the next day, therefor they left as soon as the graduation was over. We stayed the night at a wonderful bed and breakfast called, Carbon Country's Shady Rest Bed & Breakfast. http://carboncountrysshadyrestbandb.net/ The room's were very nice and the breakfast was great!  There was a huge garden tub in the room we stayed in that I wish that I was able to use, but alas there was no time. :( Here is a picture of the outside of the bed & breakfast with my youngest William on the steps. Last but not least, the next day when I dropped my Mom back off at home, the little bunny that lives at her house was out, so I clicked ...
