Over and Out

School is over. First year teaching down (almost). I love the last day of school far many reasons.
1. I get paid on a 12 month contract. So I still get pay checks through out summer even though I am not teaching.
2. I don't have to do any real teaching the last week.
3.The gifts!

I got over $200 bones in gift cards plus some other loot. I love teaching preschool because the kids (parents) still give treats at the end of the year.

Everyday

I see this sign everyday from work driving into Woodinville. Yes this store is real and it does have some stupid prices.

Gualala Part III

We also took a family photo. Here is our little family, big Smith family and Nic, Micah and Macy girl right after her blessing.



The water looked amazing but it was pretty cold all weekend.

Gualala Part II

One morning I woke up to this. Well, not exactly but my mom and these boys were having an axe throwing contest. How boss is my mom?

 My sister sat on the end of her cot and flung her antibiotics into the fire. Luckily for her, Jake and I have amazing fire poking skills and were able to retrieve them, all.

We did a lot of sitting around the campfire and holding babies.





Please notice my dad's awesome remote controller tie. A fond gift given by Jake. 

Gualala

Every year my Smith side family has a reunion up in the Redwoods at a place called Gualala. I have not been for 7 years and every sibling, spouse and baby were going to be there, so I decided this year was the year. It was nice to see everybody. Macy Lou was able to blessed while we were up there.
Jake also went abolone diving for the first time. My brothers gave him the basic details and he did the rest.

Pike Place Cheese Fest/ El Templo

Pike Place had a cheese fest a few weeks ago. I did not get to take part because of my wake allergy diet but I found an outrageously delicious cookie that I could eat! Yah for me. It had been 2 weeks with out sugar (not healthy, not healthy!).
The Seattle Temple has HUGE tulips. I forgot to snap a shot, sorry.




We witnessed this guy free himself from a straight jacket. Frightening. Who practices this? G.O.B. does.
{My cheeks were full of cookie- which slightly explains the chubby bunny look.}

Go Mariners!

Except you lost this night. Safeco field is so nice and new. It was my first major league game in 3 1/2 years (last game was with Heather at the Padres game, remember that Heather?) We took the bus with Kelsey and Aaron and heard the lamest jokes on the way over by obnoxious weirdos.


*Kelsey and I also had a contest going to see how many peeled peanut shells we could set on Ryan's back with out him knowing. We surpassed this by a lot!

Portland.

The Wilsons and Voodoo Doughnut were the highlight of our trip. No offense Oregonians but Seattle kicks Portland's butt.






*I forgot my camera a lot this trip so I don't have photos of our hike or any with Britt and Wyatt.

Cirque Du Soleil

Amazing. The night was amazing.
