sand...water...beautiful sunset...

...and kids squealing. This past weekend we went to Ocean Shores. What a beautiful, relaxing, stress free time. It was last minute decision however, I'm so glad we went. The kids loved it and so did we. The weather was sunny with a nip. We had to wear jackets on the beach because it was a little windy but it was great. Look at Sararuth. As soon as I let her out of the stroller she was happy as a clam. Speaking of clams I saw many people going clam digging. I've never been and I have never eaten one either. Just the thought of them in my mouth gives me the creeps.

This next picture is kind of funny. I didn't plan on it turning out this way..however, I think it looks pretty neat. Father and son.

I like this one as well. It would look good blown up big and framed in their room. Don't you think.

There she is again. The dirtier the better. I just love her innocent look. What?? I didn't do anything?

Jacob just learned to say "cal". He was looking at the horses in wonder. I cant wait until he can ride. I want to go riding with him and Sam. I've never been so I think that would be a neat thing to do together.

More of Sandpoint, ID

Edit: For those of you who are offended by by son who is 2 1/2 and his naked picture. I hope you are satisfied that I took it off. May be you should go find something else to talk about. You are not worth my time.

Here are a few more pictures of Sandpoint, ID. This is going to be a long post so grab a cup of coffee or tea or be like me and just go for the box of ice cream!!!!I know I shouldn't I'm trying to lose weight but that is another long post.



On Saturday the weather was partly sunny however, towards the afternoon it was pretty hot so the kids got undressed and played in the water. Check out the choppy waters. I was telling Sam that this is wonderful jet skiing weather. The waves are choppy and its wonderful for jumps! He thinks I am a little dangerous because the last time I took him with me on a jet ski (it was also the first time for him) I really pushed it and he was afraid he would tumble off. But, I was kind to my hubby and didn't let him tumble(this time).






Take a look at that smile!! I could eat her!! This picture describes them perfectly. She is crazy about being undressed and in the water...he not so much. He would rather play in the sand and dabble his legs once in while in the water.

Look at this coat rack/umbrella holder/sippy cup holder...I don't know what it is but I thought it looked pretty neat. It was in the room at our hotel. Its forks bent to look like a hanger.

The sink in the guest bathroom. What an idea. I suppose if I had a extra tree stump laying around I could make this myself

When I saw this I said to myself "Why didn't I think of this?" Just a couple of weeks ago at the Goodwill I saw two old fashion sleds and I said "ah...Sam will kill me if I bring these home". Granted they didn't look as shiny as these but, I could have done that myself. Ah..I hate it when that happens. Plus, the kids would think its a horse and climb in it all the time.

Look at that front door!!!! It seems like I'm using the word LOOK a lot. There was a lot to look at in that house. It seems like in every corner there was something worth taking a picture of. She said that the wolves represents each of her children.

The dog's name is Talus. They named to house after him. He was such a nice dog, very calm and mellow. They kids climbed on him and hugged him and pulled his ears and he didn't bat an eyelash.

On our way home we stopped by the farm to pick eggplants and peppers. Check out Jacob taking a bite.

Sandpoint, ID

Wow, I cant believe its been so long since I have written. I cant really say that I've been busy...but, I've been busy. I started working in the mornings Monday through Friday so by the time I get home I pretty much spend time with the kids and laundry and whats left of the garden. However, this past weekend we were able to get away for a few days and we went to Sandpoint, ID. We ended up staying at this wonderful Bed and Breakfast place called Talus Rock. Heather and Bruce who are absolutely wonderful go out of their way to make your stay as relaxing as possible. She even pitched in eggs and bacon when I told her we were hardy breakfast eaters. All in all it was a wonderful, relaxing, peaceful stay. Her house is gorgeous and not to mention big!

Because I gave her such a short notice we had to stay in two different rooms. The first room is the Nooma room. Check out the shower head! This also was the Honeymoon Suite. She believes that a husband and wife should not have anything come between them and so the shower/bathroom has no walls.

The second and third night we stayed in the Syringa room. What beautiful decorations. It was so homey. She had unexpected decorations in nooks and crannys.

Ill have more pictures posted soon...
