Our Summer Project












Completed! Sitting out on our new deck (that can now fit all of us, at the same time!) has been soooo nice! After all the sweat and work, we have enjoyed the afternoon shade on the deck and the awesome view. A new concrete path was poured from the front to the Salon door. Now Hair Defined clients can stroll safely down the plant lined path. The sport court (as we call it) has had a lot of use by the whole nieghborhood! My dad barely beat me in a game of PIG!
The flagstone firepit area hasn't had much use yet. We don't want to blow smoke all over the neighborhood. So we will wait and use it when we can get a propane firepit. The vegetables love their new garden spot. It is terraced and finally has soil instead of clay!



AlIcE in WOndErlAnd

Our summer adventure has been to "WOndErlAnd"! Jairden is a "Heart Child" of the King and Queen of Hearts. He also moonlights as a croquet mallet!
Jace plays one of the Card Gardners that paints the roses red! He delivers his 7 lines without a hitch!

PaRiS 2010

Brady had work over in Europe, so I flew to Paris at the end of his work days and we spent a week in France. We hit Paris hard for 4 days and still didn't see everything! We had a blast! Here we are on the back side of Notre Dame. There was another American couple that took our photo. We climbed to the top and had a wonderful bird's eye view of Paris.
Le Tour de Eiffel. Just as the sun was going down. The crowd cheered when the lights came on it about an hour after this picture. Every hour there are twinkling lights on the whole thing. Of course, there was cheering then too! It took us 3 hour to stand in line to get to the elevators. The view was worth it!

This is Versailles. A huge Palace and grounds. The grounds once had 1200 working water fountains. Now there are about half that left. This particular building was a "house" built away from the palace and palace life.



The Louvre.
Brady is standing just below the glass pyramid. We loved this museum. So much to see!


Shopping in Paris





Snake River 1/2 Marathon

Here we are ready to go! It was a beautiful and warm sunny on March 6th along the snake river. There were more than 600 people there! We all met our goals and had a great time. Only one of us puked!

Happy Birthday Jairden!

Jairden turned 5 years old! I can't believe my baby is grown up. We went to a Condo in Cour D'Alene for the weekend with some friends to celebdrate. It was cold, but we enjoyed the brisk country air!
Here he is riding a carousel in a toy store called Figpickles!
