I know can you believe it?We can't either! We have had a week of the most amazing weather it was 68 degrees today ( actually 72 degrees on our deck) it feels like spring! We thought we would take advantage of the break from the rain and cold and have a family bbq! Makes the rest of winter a little more bearable!

Fall Fun!!!

Jordan and I Fall 2008

Fall is my other favorite time of year!

We love to go to the Pumpkin Patch!!!

We get to ride the hay truck, hunt for pumpkins,

gourds and get lost in the corn maze!!! Ha Ha!!!

I hope my kid's will go with me every year no matter how old they get!

Our "Happy Place"!

Ahhh! are we relaxed yet!

Every year for our anniversary we go to the Tu Tu Tun Lodge in Gold Beach Oregon. Nestled about 9 miles up the Rogue River Rich calls it "Michele's annual treckedge to her people". It is beautiful, quiet, and relaxing. We read books, walk along the river and eat great food and just enjoy!

June 2008 and it's Ashleigh's 19th Birthday!

We had a great time at Bryan and Angie's for Ashleigh's 19th birhtday! She wanted a sushi party and they out did themselves! We had Tempura fried veggies and shrimp and several different kinds of sushi! Even Jordan got to roll some! Of course we had Ashleigh's favorite dessert, cheesecake! Thank's Bryan for such a great party!

Easter 2008!

Shay Michele (my namesake) Timmy's
youngest! Isn't she darling!

Easter at our house is all about the kid's! Egg hunts, Easter basket's, bunnies, great food and family! Easter was my Grama's favorite holiday and I have kept up the tradition! Spring has sprung with flowers bloomin', a break from the Humboldt County rainy winter and SUNSHINE! We love spring!

40! wow, over the hill? I don't think so! Rich threw me a wonderful party at our favorite Mexican Resteraunt! The theme was black, red and leopard! There were chocolate shoes and purses to eat, along with great food, margaritas and cheesecake! My best friend, partner in crime Christy came over from Redding, we had a spa day at my spa, Personal Choice before the party, then a group of us went dancing at a local club after the party it was quite a day! See for yourself!
