Happy Birthday to Me!

My little sweet tater has been taking swim lessons so we were at the pool tonight. He's a great birthday present!

Tomorrow we are headed to Hansville so we can play on the beach at Pt No Point Lighthouse and spend time with his great grandma and great grandpa. 

Priorities

A lot has happened these past five months and I'm thinking that this saying sums it up nicely:

Don't make someone a priority in your life when you are only an option in theirs. 

Here's my priorities right now:

I'd love to make you one of my priorities! Drop me a note, drop by and visit, call me. It's that simple.

Backyard fun

David bought a gazebo for the backyard. I've been eyeing them for a long time and when he saw a great price on one at BigLots, he bought it. Decisions of where to put it in our backyard went back and forth, mainly because we don't have very nice neighbors on one side of us. (There's their pool that we have view of -- left of the garage in the background -- but I think I'm going to be changing that view soon. Another addition of "fix the backyard" coming up.) I'm on the hunt for ideas on how to accessorize the gazebo; thinking hanging baskets on the sides and a hula hoop chandelier on the underside (it's made with a small hula hoop, duct tape and white icicle lights.) Be on the lookout for ideas for me -- I'll be searching Pinterest, too.

The area on the left is our firepit and chairs. I L-O-V-E s'more nights with friends and family. Since we didn't go camping this holiday season, I need to make sure I have a s'more tonight and just take time to relax.

2 great causes for you to help with....

Hello! Two great causes to help make the world a better place. Thanks for helping!!

I am walking to help find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. Easton's little daycare friend has CF, along with a teacher friend's two children. Here's my personal page:

My friend Julie is BIKING for the Bike MS 2012, to help find a cure for MS. Her personal page is http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR/Bike/WAIBikeEvents?px=6781755&pg=personal&fr_id=18574

Spring break cutie!

Just a few cute pictures from spring break with Easton. We went to Eugene, OR and traveled a bit further south to the Wildlife Safari. Easton LOVED it! The day was perfect with the weather and all of the animals. Enjoy the fun pictures of our family.

It's Friday, the start of Spring Break!

Good morning! Grab a cup of coffee and stay for awhile. The rainy weather has made it a day that is good for visiting, drinking coffee and staying warm & dry.

I went to PT this morning. It's my 10th week of visits and to be truthful, it's getting OLD! Thankful for insurance, though, that pays for it and I am feeling better. If it's not one ache and something out of whack, it's something else. Next week I'm going to get a massage and see the chiropractor & then PT. We'll see how that goes!

It's officially spring break for Mr. York and I. I'm so glad. I need the break in action! David has one more week of student teaching and he's done with his teaching certification. (My cousin Cacey is just about done with her teaching certification, too. I love having teachers in our family! I think there's at least five of us teaching at all different levels.) Graduation for Whitworth University is May 13th. Mark your calendar!

We get to see our little cutie this weekend. He's RUNNING now, everywhere. What a blessing Easton is. He's 16 months and keeps us laughing all the time!

Prayer requests: jobs for both David and I next year, continued wellness for all of us, an electrician/plumber to finish our hot water heater & check all of our wiring.

Happy Friday. Enjoy your coffee! (it's home roasted by Mr. York.)

Happy Spring!

Hello! Last Tuesday was the beginning of spring and it was snowing. I didn't let it stop me, though. When there was a break in the action, I planted primroses and red tulips. The tulips, after a week, are working on blooming!

We've had the strangest Spokane weather. Sunday it was 60+ degrees and the dogs and I were LOVING it outside. I put laundry out on the line, which actually dried! I got a lot accomplished that day. Monday it POURED. Today, it's cold but not rain, with the sun trying to peak through. It's a good day to spring clean inside!

What's spring like in your little part of the world?
