Peeps roasting on an open fire....

Peep being toasted for smores.
Innocent peep about to meet its demise.

Palouse falls where we camped.
This weekend I camped with Britney and Renee at Palouse falls. It was lots of fun. I took them hiking on the most convaluted path ever. We almost got hit by a train twice within 15 minutes of each other. I ran into a den of Gardener snakes. Britney found the biggest spider known to man. We walked along a cliff for about half a mile. I should say I walked and the other two crawled a good portion of it. Artemis was a great little adventurer. We had smores, steak, hotdogs and wine. It only rained a little bit.
Jacob is over on the coast for nine days. It is going to be a very long week. I miss him lots.

I have become one of those dog owners I swore I never would be.




I went to the scrapbook store and it happened to be Mothers weekend for WSU. There was a photographer taking pictures of mothers and daughters. I had Artemis in the car so I decided to get our picture taken together. She is do darn cute!!!

Easter is here!

Artemis' puppy tooth.

Artemis in her Easter cape.
She is still so tiny.
Not too much going on lately. Artemis is losing her baby teeth. We were playing and one of her bigger ones fell out into my hand. It freaked me out a little. There was a lot of blood. She seemed totally fine though. She loves her new Easter cape. Everyone needs to be dressed in their best on Easter Sunday.
Work is going well. Its super busy and stressful but I am loving it. I am exhausted by Friday though. I got supoeaned at work to appear in court for an accident case last week. It settled out of court this week though so I dont have to go. I was kinda looking forward to it. Oh well.
I get to go over to Olympia in a few weeks and see the family. I am very excited. I miss them so much. Jacob will be in Brinnon on his week vacation so he will be coming down to meet the family at some point.
We went to the Good Friday service last night at church. It was nice but I bawled of course. We had to sing How Great thou Art which reminds me of my grandma. Plus just church and Easter in general reminds me of my grandparents. It was a rough night. Jacob is really good though about holding me through my meltdowns.
Hmm...what else have I done lately? We attended Swing out Nowhere here in Moscow. They had two live big bands and two sets of professional teachers come in for the weekend. There was a dance Friday and Saturday night. During the day Saturday and Sunday they had all kinds of workshops. Jacob took the more advanced ones and I took the beginning ones. We both learned a 40's line/group dance too. It was lots of fun.
I invited a bunch of people over to Jacobs to decorate Easter eggs. His parents always put candy in plastic eggs and hid them. He had never dyed eggs before. It was fun watching him play around and experiment with the dyes.
I guess that is it for now. I need to finish catching up on laundry, clean my room, and go through my storage unit. Fun stuff. : )
