Went to Ciara's birthday party and had a great time. . .
 |
| Ciara's Birthday! |
babysat Sonya a couple of times . . . Isn't she the cutest?
 |
| A Day with Sonya |
took pictures of Tiffany's belly (and her husband too) . . . there are more, but I have to get them to Tiffany first before I show all the rest of you. . .
had a baby shower for Tiffany . . . it was really fun. It was at work, but what I did was have everyone bring in their baby pictures (thanks Dad by the way) and then we all had to guess who was who. . . it was pretty funny. Of the 20 or so pictures, only one person got more than 6 right - and that was Josh - he got 11, but that's still pretty good. Everyone thought it was fun. We had good food and nice conversation and Keira (Tiff's belly not to be confused with my friend Ciara) got some nice gifts. Can't wait until she gets here so I can take pics of her too. Tiff says she's dilated (is that the right term?) 1 centimeter and is 70% something (you know those pregnancy terms get me so whatever). . .

I've learned how to make fabulous bread - NO KIDDING - it's great - check it out here at the NEW YORK TIMES -->
Recipe: No-Knead Bread
I tried it and will post my bread making abilities via a picture later. . . it's wonderful. Guz Perez (thank you Gus) taught me how to do it! Well, he told me about it and then sent me the website. Oh, and he lent me a covered pan to make it in. Oh. . .AND he gave me the yeast. . .so, I really owe it all to him.Last weekend I played poker (I lost), watched the Stanely Cup (The Ducks Win - which is what I wanted), and went to a baseball game (the Mariners Win!!)!
This weekend, I'm going to Hellie's baby shower and then WHITEWATER RAFTING on the Wenachee River - how cool is that??? Hopefully I can get some more pictures out there for everyone! Then the following weekend I get to go to High School Musical with Sonya and her mom Arvia. Then the next day I'm going with Amy and Tiffany (a different one than the preggers one) to see Gwen Stephani. . . can't wait! THEN the following weekend, I'm going to go and meet Alistair in Idaho (I think. .. we haven't picked yet). Then I think I'll take a break - I'll need it for when Hannah and Laura visit in September and October. . . but hopefully I'll be doing something before then.
AND ALISTAIR??? Well, if you haven't noticed, he hardly answers his phone because he's busy with a crazy BEETLE convention. He's been working his little heart out there in Montana on beetles and making friends with other beetle lovers. I'm not there to take pictures, so none to show. Maybe I'll get him to post some bug stuff soon. He did go caving. . . in an ice cave. Unfortunately you can really only see the outside. ..

He just started his "summer job" mounting some butterflies. And if you know Alistair, it's a kind of torture. Butterflies. . . can you hear him berating all the butterflies in the drawer? I can. . .
more to come - it's been an exciting summer so far!
much love to you all!
